2.1 Update - ask your newbie questions here - Hero, G2 Touch General

OK, there seems to be one or two threads here regarding the new rooted 2.1 ROMs. The threads are splitting at the seams with questions from new/inexperienced users who want answers to simple questions, but few answers appear to be coming forward.
So, how about we post our newbie questions here and leave the actual ROM threads for developing info that the more experienced users can use.
I'll start: I have a stock, unmolested Orange Hero, do I need to do anything to my phone before I run this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=712707

I have questions:
1)Before I can Flash (3. Flash ROM from Recovery), do I need to root first?
2)To flash, do I follow step (2. Loading the Custom ROM) from the
Complete Newbie Guide to Install a Custom Rom & Newbie FaQ [Updated 02/05]
guide?

Another one.
If I do not want to root and I have not received the OTA update 1 and 2 notifications, how can I install these updates manually?
I have downloaded OTA 1 and 2 on PC, but how do I install them on Hero?

Where is Friendstream go?
I know Gallery and LiveWallpapers were dropped due to the Hero's weedy capabilities, but Friendstream? Come on....

FriendStream is a feature of the newer HTC phones so is not included

Thank you 42turkeys, that's very helpful.

I have 2.73.405.93 build (OTA Part1 installed). Can I directly root? Or I need downgrade?
Where can I check out, how to downgrade? If i try official OTA 2.1.

Hi, downloaded my 2.1 O.T.A as i'm not technical enough to bother with rooting, i'm some what disappointed as one of the new features I was looking forward to most was speech to text, however it seems it's not part of the package for the Hero as I don't appear to have it, is this correct? Any recommendations for other means of obtaining it, I understand it works with handcent however I get the msg 'recognizer not present'..... sorry for my ignorance but any tips would be much appreciated as I loved the idea of this feature?!!

Download and install on your phone voice search (http://www.ibotchat.co.uk/voicesearch.apk) then you will get the required files.
Then to get speech to text download 'htc ime mod' (search google) and configure the settings to get the microphone button.

Hi i just have a stupid question :
i'm quite lost with all the stuffs about the 2.1 update :
i have a 1.5 stock rooted rom on my hero.
i would like to update to 2.1 but keep the root thing.
and i want not to wipe my phone
So what i understand is :
- if i update : i'm not root anymore and won't be able to do it with the 2.1
- if i want to be 2.1+root i have to use a full rom (rooted) to have both but i have to wipe my phone.
Is that right ?
Is there or will it be a way to have an update (not wiping phone), in 2.1, and with root maintained from my 1.5 ??
Thanx for help.. i don't what to do with this ota update...
Ciao

Can anyone help, I've been trying to update mine but to no avail. I have an un-rooted generic Hero from Malaysia. I tried changing the date and restarting the phone but I still didn't receive any notification asking me to update.
Is there any way to update the phone aside from the OTA?

Hello,Ive got problem with android market,it wont show me my apps I bought. It showing me some of them but not all. Thank You.

Overall I'm really happy, coming from stock 1.5 it to the official Sense 2.1 update it seems a lot quicker. The Android devs talked about introducing lower priority for garbage collection in 2.1, and it seems to help, less judders when scrolling lists etc.
I'm loving the new weather animations when you unlock your homescreen. The wispy floating clouds are awesome!
And of course, there is the major improvement to the colour support, no more dithering or banding, the colours are sharp and clear.
One major pain, though, I swear the the volume rocker used to change the System volume when on the homescreen. Now it only changes the Ringer volume, so I have to lower the ringer, the notifications, etc, individually rather than all in one go. There doesnt seem to be a way to override what the volume rocker controls.
A new bug, when you open an sms message conversion and click in the new message area, the messages above dont shift up enough. Hence the keyboard is obscuring the last message, you cant see what you are replying to. If you cancel that, then click again to write a new message it correctly shifts the messages so the last one can be seen. This is a new bug, it used to shift them correctly in all cases.
Battery was seriously killed yesterday after the update (which understandably required a LOT of processing) and trying out all the new features, but today the drain seems just the same as 1.5.
I would also like to know if there is an APK for friendstream, live wallpapers, 3d gallery etc..

I always have my Hero set to show only phone contacts in the people app.
Why does 2.1 show phone contacts AND sim contacts in the phone app? Is there any way to fix this?
Thanks

Re: the SIM and Phone Contacts, in what part of the Phone app are you seeing them both? In the people list, or the dialer when you start typing a name, or where?
Re: animations, I thought it was in Settings->Sound and Display->Animations.
But playing around with it, it seems to be on permanently.
Just switch the screen off making sure your home screen with the weather clock is visible, switch it back on , slide down to unlock, and after about a second you get a full screen weather animation over your entire homescreen. Very cool..

Hello, another noob here...
So, if I got this correctly,I can in a Hero that does not have root, flash the oficial NOT rooted 2.1 that is available in zip format, through recovery.
Am I correct? I just rename the Hero_HTC_WWE_3.32.405.1_R-signed.zip to update.zip, send it to memory card, run the recovery and install it?
thanks

I'm seeing the sim contacts in the dialer. I never used to see them in 1.5.
All animations are switched on so I don't know what's going on there.

No, but you can flash the new cyanogen once it is stable in a couple days it has full 1.6. I played with doughnut today and cyanogen has most of it in 4.04.

Is A New Android Sense ROM coming out Tomorrow?

gamesquare dot co dot uk/desire.htm
has listed that a new v5 update is coming on the 21st of July that has a bunch of fixes. But there is no way to download it . anyone have any idea where I can get a ROM that i can use daily. PREFERABLY stock 2.1 or 2.2 but whatever is stable and ready for daily use will do. Thank you all for your answers ahead of time. REALLY want to get rid of my iPhone and get an HD2
I have read something that there is an Energy Droid ROM that NRGZ28 dropped but cant find it or his directions. There is way too many posts and threads here to find things sometimes.

Just scroll down. The link is in the V4 section. It says "download"...
Well I should have asked, are the UK dl and the twitter Dl links just SD run roms or do they fully take over the hd2 and run alone wiping winmo? I'm not interested in dual boot. serves no purpose in my opinion.
None wipe WinMO at this point. The twitter links are generally patches for developers or anyone who wants to experiment with the version theyve downloaded. Best you can do at this point is donate to the developers suport, time, and money and they will be done soon.

Thanks. I just can't see dual booting. I'll wait like everyone else. Thanks for the reply.
If anybody would bother reading, what NRGZ28 has posted, or the readme in the download ..
From Readme By NRGZ28
This package is a combination of a minimal WM ROM made by me (NRGZ28) and the latest "Desire" V4 Android build for the HD2 made by Cotulla! More info can be found here http://gamesquare.co.uk/desire.html
In order to run this on your HD2, you have to copy THREE files to the root folder of a storage card and insert it in the device. YOU CANNOT RUN THIS WITHOUT A STORAGE CARD. If the OS detect no storage card, it will shut down automatically. Now...
Copy "data.img","rootfs.img" and "system.sqsh" found in the 7z archive, to the ROOT of your storage card.
These files require about 400 MBytes, so make sure you have at least that much available on the card. A class 4 or Class 6 card is recommended for best performance.
If you find that you don't like this ROM and want to get back to your regular Windows Mobile ROM, turn the phone off (press the End key inside Android or simply pull the battery) and hold the "Volume Down" key on the side of the phone, as you're turning it on with the red power key. It will bring you to the multi colored bootloader screen, where you can plug in your cable and flash your favorite ROM.
1. Sugggestions
- Choose the HTC Sense interface on startup when you're asked what you want to run. It runs better.
- Go to Settings / Wireless & Networks / Mobile Networks / Access Point Names and push the "windows" key on the device to get the menu to pop out. Here you can add the access point for your provider. For example, it's "wap.voicestream.com" for TMobile USA. You can look this up easily on XDA. This is a required step to get DATA services in Android.
- The "windows" key is your menu key in android.
Enjoy and be sure to thank Cotulla for his hard work on this !!

Ya thats all I could find, what you just posted.
Don't expect to see a stable daily use ROM any time soon. Try looking around at the other devices that have Android ported for the last year. Do they have a flashable ROM ? Nope........! Don't expect one for the HD2 anytime soon. If you want Droid as an every day OS go get an Android phone. That's really your only solution.
Does the new Desire build have to have the newest zImage also?
Also, there doesn't seem to be a way to connect your phone to your PC in Desire v5. You don't get the "Mount phone" option in the notification area.
Also, native camera app doesn't work, as it forces you to use the optical trackball to take a pic, but HD2 doesn't have optical trackpad. CameraMagic works fine though.

Here we go. I DL'ed the zip, and unzipped it. I do not see a ROM to install? I was under the impression that this would install a basic ROM + Everything needed to run Android (except I have to copy the 3 files to the SD). Does it not. Do I have to install a basic ROM myself first, and if so, how do I then make this Android work on boot?
Anyone? Maybe fast help? (I'm leaving work soon and wanted to do it before)...

Good Jobs Thanks.........
updated! seems a little faster than previous leak... maybe a new version will be out ASAP looking at the forum
Sadly, I cannot install either leak on my Liquid. I keep getting "E:Verification Failed" with both (downloaded this one three times).
I have no problems installing the Liquid Galaxy 2.1 ROM though.
i installed it with Acer download tool today on my acer liquid - everything went fine
I don't like new UI - you don't have multiple desktops anymore. It can be started as a separate widget, but it's very inconvenient not to always be able to have access to all your widgets immediately.
For the rest it seems to work fine. Flash and multi-touch zoom work in the browser. Wifi AP works too.

Guys, do I need to install a signed European ROM and then update the FroYo leak through the Acer updater?
Since I have the Rogers version, I obviously cannot update without Malez, which is giving me "verification" and "no script" errors. I've unmounted FS like I'm told to do but to no avail.
I really want to try this ROM. Unlike some folks, I see the potential in Acer's new UI.
Nevermind, I was using the wrong Acer updater.

I have Rogers version - too... in previous Thread i wrote how to install it and how much problems i have. I try to install this Rom 6 times before i was successful. Every time device give me different error and i use Update mode. Later i made it.
Sorry for my English.. just try to install it more times. (and if you need- use Recovery mode)
I finally managed to install it with the official Acer updater tool.
The new interface looks really nice to me. Unfortunately, the History and Gallery shortcuts are too laggy, but otherwise, it looks slick, and I love the pop-up menus when you click on the task bar.
Also, there is a second delay when waking the phone up from standby.
no 3g issues

[Q] A question regarding 4.2.2 upgrade and native dialer

I have enabled native dialer by modifying framework-res.apk in my Nexus 7 3G with JB 4.2.1.
Now my question is, will the native dialer stay if i upgrade to 4.2.2? Did anybody try? Pls share. Thanks a lot.
Are you on a custom ROM?
No, I simply downloaded a dialer-enabled framework-res in this forum and replaced the original one.
btw, is there any place to download dialer-enabled 4.2.2 framework? I had trouble doing this myself
thanks in advance!
Can you post up your framework-res? I will make the small edit for you. As I understand it, it is just a bool edit "<bool name="config_voice_capable">false</bool>", where you change false to true.

Hi hlxanthus,
Attached is the framework-res.apk from 4.2.2. Really appreciate if you can help!
Thank you!
Here are some flashable packages, that will work for you within twrp or cwm recoveries. If you would rather you can just crack them open to pull the apk out. One has the one I modded and the other is the original you posted up. Please know that this will ONLY work with the rom you pulled the framework-res from. So if this is a stock apk, then that is all you can use this with.
Please note, that while this should give you access to the dialer, it will not magically enable phone calls on your device (that I know of atleast, let me know if I am wrong LOL). You will still have to use a VoIP service like GrooveIP for example to route said phone calls thru your wifi and 3G radios.
Download - 4.2.2.dialer_enabled.framework-res.tilapia.zip

I clicked the system update button and reboot....
But it didn't update successfully and stopped in the middle of the upgrade.
I was asked to reboot and I am still in 4.2.1.
Any idea why? The whole process took only a minute or so.
Is it because mine was rooted?

Might be. Other modifications have you made? You might need to flash a stock recovery back in place at the very least.
Native dialer

eXistenZ v10 port for locked bootloader, plus mods

Port is not my work. It's by @kavatzas7, originally posted here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69580000&postcount=214. That one only works on unlocked bootloader, so I swapped the boot img with stock Sony one, for use on locked. I also made many framework and system app mods, (shown in screensshot), including menus, toast, backgrounds and scrolling navbar, by @Ticklefish. If you want the rom and don't like my mods, just download both and replace boot img.
Notes...
- Flashing rom with stock boot img will remove your recovery, so you'll have to reflash recovery.
- Attempting to flash kavatsaz7's rom with locked bootloader will result in black screen, with no boot, even to recovery. You'll have to use Flashtool to get kernel/rom back on your phone.

Updated with some fixes. Not so messy looking anymore. Update does not include scrolling navigation bar. Let me know if you want it, and can't do it.

I didn't change anything in the build, but I worked out most of the visual bugs with 3rd-party apps, like black-on-black menus, etc. You can use Holo Themer per app if you need to. For fm radio, use a different app from Play Store. I tested out RadioFM, and it works fine.

I didn't change anything in the build, but I worked out most of the visual bugs with 3rd-party apps, like black-on-black menus, etc. You can use Holo Themer per app if you need to. For fm radio, use a different app from Play Store. I tested out RadioFM, and it works fine.

Which radio application you used and it's worked?

Radio Fm - https://play.google.com/store/apps/...app&pcampaignid=APPU_1_M6ZjWIibG4bXmAGN05PIBQ
Ah, ok...because i thought that you talking about a real "fm radio" app based on fm mobile antenna resever, not in an internet radio app...
I just installed the ROM and it already restarts a few times, the phone currently is installing all the apps from Google Play Store..
edit:
It happens randomly or if I open/select certain settings that provided..
BTW can I change the transparent notification off?

OK, I'll check it out. I've been messing with Dstrikers rom for a while now, so can't remember issues exactly. First question always did you do a full wipe, (data, system, and caches)?
I'll try to flash today and see...

It's been posted about this port that you will get reboots at first, but they will stop. I didn't port it, so can't help with technical stuff.
For notifications you can try LPThemer from Xposed, or replace your system ui with stock one, (you will also lose other systemui mods) or decompile systemui apk, and search xml files for color b32c3539, and change it to ff2c3539.
BTW, if anyone wants to try, I made a similar mod with some improvements for latest Dstrikersz1 build.

Ah, I see.. But it will start restart by itself if you click certain settings.
Thanks for answering. I found another problems tho, the internet speed seems so slow, it takes minutes to download small files from Play Store, even restoring things from WhatsApp took ages. And it seems killed app in the background because, once I open a messenger, it will flood by notifications.

It's a port, so not surprising to find bugs. The best part about eXistenZ is probably the customization, which is all there. Overall, it's a solid ROM, and the bugs are, for the most part, in the realm of extras, (although slow Internet is more of a real problem, but I haven't experienced that). If you want more of stability and less of extras, go for dstrikersZ1 ROM.
BTW - I never did quite finish modding this one, it's kind of messy looking. I got sidetracked with dstriker... I'll probably revamp this one and re-post.

So it is just me who have the problem with internet, is it because "doze" mode or something because I find that my phone will go to its deep sleep often, it does save battery but I don't quite like it, I keep missing phone calls or texts from people. Guess I will go back to DstrikersZ.
