so whats next for our hero's?

are we waiting on the official 2.1 to be released to get more fully functioning roms?
do you guys see more apps and themes being made for our cdma heros in the near future?
id love one day to see as many options on the cdma versions as they have for gsm.
any thoughts or input on this guys? what would you like to see?
maybe even the possibility of porting webos or maybe even winmo to our phones? i don't see why not as winmo can port android. it's not on the top of my list but it would be cool to play with.

Dude. You start a lot of threads man lol. But yeah, Android 1.5 was made for GSM, and HTC had to do some crazy wackjob stuff to make it work for CDMA. Android 1.6 started including CDMA support, and Android will continue to support CDMA from 1.6 on out. So basically, once 2.1 comes out officially, I believe we will be in business. You should just chill out a little bit about the whole being bored and what's gonna happen stuff, and just enjoy your device. The HERO is a great phone, and it's only gonna get better!

yeah but i like to discuss, hence why we are on a forum.

Haha.. Yeah think it would be kinda cool to have WinMo on our phones, too; although I doubt I would use it for more than a day or two. Our Devs are seriously working hard getting the DEV-ROMs working and they're doing a ****ing great job. I can't wait to see what comes after the official update!!!

So... this might be a stupid question, but exactly what are we looking to see in the 2.1? I don't have any problems with my phone now, a little laggy and short battery life but I plan to get a new battery on payday. So, what is so great that people are actually talking about unrooting to go to the Official 2.1? I wouldn't unroot for anything they could possibly put in there. What if I'm at a friends and need internet and he doesn't have any? I gotta be able to tether. i can always use PDAnet, but its just not the same. And no longer being able to control the CPU, etc. And I love flashing all the new roms that come out and experimenting with the awesome stuff the Devs crank out, so really what is gonna be so awesome about 2.1?

i actually saw a guy on here with a pic of his hero with winmob 7 on his hero...don't know if it was legit or not, but nice to see

i debunked that this morning. it was a photoshop job. wm7 cannot run on any current device out there let alone an android phone.

smh @ that guy tricking people
still would be pretty cool to see it ported over

Because when Sprint releases 2.1, then our devs will be able to take all the amazing-ness from 2.1 and combine it with the amazing-ness of having root access! Until then, we're just using hacks and leaks to get what we can get.

And we'll have the actual kernel instead of stuff with backported drivers.

well to me 2.1 was the holy grail until today.
The Dream rom has Flash 10.1, so its my new holy grail.

Oh, I agree totally that it will be awesome when the devs get their hands on all the 2.1 stuff, but what about the people talking about unrooting for the official upgrade? I guess what I'm really asking is...what amazing-ness? What are we waiting for? Will the phone make us breakfast in the morning and grab beer for us once we get 2.1? I'm in here every day like the rest, checking for updates on 2.1 status and waiting impatiently for the release, but again I ask..what am I waiting for? More speed? Less bloatware? Bug fixes? I'm just curious, I know that going from 1.29 to 1.56 fixed the massive lag when going from portrait to landscape and the original MMS issue, etc. But I really didn't notcie a diff in my phone after the upgrade. Seriously, what are we looking for in this new update?

Official .29 kernel or not. I bet once camera is backported most devs will use the modded .27 kernel to optimise their builds until .29 source is released. The main things we will get from the official release is the frameworks, a few and apks to allow for all of Sprints stuff to work. And I've almost managed that already but yeah other advantages of 2.1 are vwp, better frameworks, better opengl, better apps, UIs, and a better os all together. I know ill make sure the build is ready for all the root users on day one. If its not already leaked by then.

let's hope for a HERO200 leak then!
come on single unruly mischevious HTC employee....if you do this, then we promise we won't bother you like we did to get the source code..

Froyo 2.2

When do yall think we will have a working port of froyo?
I just got back into the android game. ive been using an HD2 which is beautiful, but winmo poses too many problems for my liking. So im back on with the slide.
sorry i felt the explaination lol
anyway ne info about froyo would be greatly accepted

Supposedly the slide (and full mytouch line) is getting Froyo fairly soon... I just wish I knew when >.>

but itll have that bloatation of sense in it! no good v.v

Well it will bloat the system but A2SD will help with the data. Plus, JIT will help with speed and a2sd will allow you pick and choose which apks to store on data or sdcard unlike the usual custom rom scripts...

Yea thats awesome, was reading this on engadget somewhere n new orleans just got hspa+!!
i really cant wait till some good speedy roms come out here.
All those screamin fast g1 roms need to b put on here

This phone lacks vs. G1... for now

I came from using G1 but now bricked due to deathspl... and actually waited for this phone to come. Ran into several problems I picked up on over the months since launch..
Bluetooth seems to be configured depending on headset. For example, using my motorola s9 hd works perfect.. but my jawbone only picks up calls no media support. Where as on G1 it will have full support.. I have another stereo bluetooth but only plays media and no phone support.
Majority of the time I download from youtube.. tubedroid favorite. But I found the hardware plays downloaded videos off sync.. the visual plays then sound comes on half sec or so later. I tested this on other youtube apps and found similar results. Yxplayer seems to play the videos correctly however.
One thing I notice is multi touch seems to support no more than 2 spots.. zoom on browser works but I noticed problems when playing megaman zero on gameboid. Cannot charge shot/jump/dash at same time. I already informed the dev but they say its the hardware..
My 2 questions are. Will future custom roms. Be able to fix these problems. And if so, will I be flamed for posting this in the android development section?

I have had my g1 from before it offically came out and man this phone is 20x better then the g1. Do u know how buggy the g1 was when it first came out especially with the bluetooth. I have no problems using icon bluetooth headset or my moto h690

Most of the problems you list, multi touch and bluetooth, could have probably been improved by developers and included into the rom you used. As for tubedroid, if it is an app that doesn't have anymore updates, it's likely that the application was made for use on a G1 and the development was stopped, so of course it would be perfectly compatible for the G1. You have to take in consideration that the G1 has a big group of developers improving it where the slide was released just a bit over a month ago.

Ok lemmie give you a low down :l have you noticed android has been shipping out new phones like its a christmas sale well they dont have time to fix all the kinks so they fix what they seem like is what most people would use and update the frameware later to fix the other problems. And many slide roms improve on the MTS

You're an idiot, Android is the product of the Android Open Source Project. They do not make the phones. Legally any manufacturer can ship an Android non-Google branded device without Google's consent (albeit, lack of gapps).
Froyo, as every Android release, is coming with updated Bluetooth drivers and will fix many bugs found in Eclair and Donut. Gingerbread most likely will as well.

I came in late with the G1 so i was able to pick up on roms that fixed much of the problems. I remember I flashed a rom and was upset the bluetooth wasn't working properly. Stupid me didn't realize the rom was still in beta. I just find it so weird all 3 of my bluetooths have different support for this phone.

I understand this, i just thought it was a good time to point out these flaws for devs to be aware of.... i contacted sirius via email and they told me they'd get on to fixing it... i have no idea if it was automated or something.

to put it in perspective. The G1 was Marilyn Monroe, The Slide is Khloe Kardashian (Kim with her Big Ole Kadunkadunk would have to be the mighty Galaxy S Variant dropping tomorrow).
They both have they're place and are hot in their own ways, but just like the comparison women the slide is is great underneath its outer shell with revamped cpu, room to grow and nice and trim in all the right places.

HOW DARE YOU COMPARE OUR BEAUTIFUL MTS TO THAT UGLY SLUT! Lol!
seriously though, our taste in women must differ greatly. Marilyn had a nice shapely butt, imo.
I guess I have a thing for the old school women. Anyways... when we get an update for the MTS... the kernel can be hacked and the CPU can be amped up more like it should be. My old G1 is dead even in linpack scores at 3.5 MF with my MTS running slide Mr1 v4. I'm sure the froyo beta would put it ahead at around 4.5-6 MF. I heard of some folks getting like 7-8mf but I'm not sure if I believe that...

I'm getting 8's on linpack every time you should try it its fast as hell

Eeeek! That's fast! JIT is doing it's job. Man, I wish we could figure out a way to enable JIT on 2.1! I've been working on it tonight with no luck so far.
I tried the old libdvm.so file but just bootloops, lol! That's what's making froyo so damn fast. Plus, built in a2sd isn't working on froyo yet nor camera/camcorder right? I really need stability and the froyo tease won't do anything but make me angry, lol! I know folks are saying it's stable for everyday use but I don't know...

Its pretty stable been about a week for me no random fc's only thing that bugs me is that I can't get flash to work when I take a picture.just do a nandroid and give it a shot I promises you the speed will make you stock with it.

Yeah, the camera drivers definatly are perfected yet. I tried it last night and wow its fast! Even with lwp running with all my widgets. Yep, its twice as fast as slidemr1 v4.... the only bummer is that I couldn't get a2sd to work. I formatted the whole SD to fat32 and still nothing. No partitions either. I guess I could play with it more... flashed back last night because I ran out of time. I might just wait a bit longer for a more stable Rom. But it was fun for sure...

Roman I was talkin about android phones and you don't have to critisize every person in here dude.

So, with the slow down in rom releases and updates due to stable builds that require nothing more. I thought I'd share the rom that I will be using for more then a day or too...I'm thinking long term here. I've found that I really enjoy ACS roms, Jaimie, King and settling on Koni III. I really like the stability, speed and options for customizing. I've found Koni III provides everything that other ACS roms have, except I really like the coloring and icons. They are smooth and everything functions normally. So i'm kind of freaking out, because now I have to use my phone like a normal person am I alone?

I'm not sure what everyone means by 'slowdown in rom releases'. I can't keep up with the new releases! Just off the top of my head, in the past few days, we have seen new releases of : salvage mod. Savaged Zen. MIuI. Dark cocoa. Elite III. Virus airbourne. Destroyer sequel. Evervolv nightlies. Cm nightlies. King cocoa. Unleashed R3. Kings gingerbread rom. And there are more. So, inform me how that equates to a shortage?! Haha, I literally can't keep up with trying g them all out!!!

There's even been recent sense releases, in the past couple days. There's konis elite III, dark cocoa, king cocoa, and Vaelpak 3.2 .
To answer your question, AOSP (android open source project) is straight android, no HTC sense, bloatware from sprint. Avg sense rom = 180-210mb. Avg AOSP rom = 60-80mb. AOSP doesn't have any of the HTC Widgets, and has different dialer, email, and contacts apps (among other differences throughout the rom) . I suggest trying it out if you're bored. You'll always just be a nandroid restore away from sense!

I've got so many Nandroids backed up on my computer that to pass the time I just restore one every day or two. I'm running KES III right now and I'm happy with it...we'll see how long that lasts lol!
Just imagine the flurry of ridiculous this forum is gonna be when we get Gingerbread w/Sense this summer.
Myn, Mik, Koni, King, Vael and all our other sense devs are gonna be blowing the place up. I can't wait!!!

SInce I've had my Evo, I haven't gone more than 3 days withuut flashing something new. And I'e had them all, sense, Miui, The various CM Roms, but I've also settled on Koni III aqs my daily, until something new enough to catch my eye comes out.

I hope you're right. I fear we may lose some devs to the Evo3D, or some other devices that are soon to be released. If the devs stay, so will I. If they go to Evo3d, I will follow. I love messing around with my phone, and need a strong dev community to fill my unsatiable flashing needs.

That's why I ditched my T-Mobile phones (G1 and MyTouch Slide). I wanted something with a little more options. There wasn't anything better than CM over there although I think they have Desire Z roms in the G1 forums now.
I hope we get some devs to stick around. My decision to get an Evo 3d will be based on who goes and who stays. I'm a huge fan of Aamikam (MikFroYo) and Konikub so if they split there's probably a good bet I will too. Unless they still develop for the Evo. I know many devs who did dev work for the G1 long after they upgraded so it's not out of the ordinary.
My fingers are crossed. If there's no one who can make that 2.3 w/sense update super sexy like they did 2.2 w/sense then it might be time to split.

How come not ready for gingerbread? It's basically the same **** except for the cool lockscreen and the dope keyboard. Coming from being afraid of flashing ANY rom, I flashed Fresh in December, found it to be kinda buggy, then made the leap to CM7 right when RC1 came out, been HOOKED on it ever since. I'm on nightly 30 now and it's pretty dang stable. Make the leap, man

I've tried a couple of Gingerbread roms and ran into the usual Sprint VVM problem. While it's no big deal to call voicemail instead of using the visual, the V30 error that pops up every so often is a pain in the butt. I don't suppose there is a rom out there that won't give me that problem? I've tried the fix's listed in different threads and they (for me) work for a few hours and then I'm right back to the error messages. I don't use most of the Sense stuff, so it seems pointless to stay on a rom full of it. I've flashed at least 1 new rom a day trying to find something....

I havent flashed a rom in almost 2 months now, think ill go flash CM7 this evening though just to change things up a bit.

i have the same exact problem, it seems as if there is always a good rom! Sense is good but battery consuming, CM is good but not flashy enough, everything else i flash is either a theme or an enhancement. It never ends!!!!

I've actually found one to stick with for a while. I haven't flashed in almost a whole day. Sense included and its not totally draining my battery. I'm on luv lol.

How did you manage to do that...is it your kernel, can you tell me which rom you are using because the only sense rom i like , myn warm two point two, is draining battery

Should I Root?

I'm comming from the HTC HD2 so I know about the whole process and how everything works. I love to mess around with my phone and see what it can do but the Evo is so fast already and runs smooth. Im not afraid of breaking the phone because I have insurance and I always take special precautions. Is it worth me to root? I love sense and would love to have GB + Sense 3.0.
Also Ive read into 4G keys, does CWM backup the WiMax partition automatically?
This is my first time working with a CDMA phone?
thanks for any input, also if anyone is using a GB+ Sense 3.0 build is it worth it?

You sorta answered your own question
You should just get amon ra recovery. No problems but you have to flash everything manually. Meaning you can't use the rom manager app that downloads and flashes automatically for you.
A drop of Chuck Norris's semen was placed on Android OS. We now have CyanogenMod.

Just go to the Development section, find a rom that fits your criteria (Virus comes to mind) and flash away!
Make sure you back up first, so if you are unhappy you can revert back. Only you can decide if it's "worth it"

I knew i couldnt stay away from the Development section long

i'd try cm7, mikfroyo, myn's warm twopointtwo, and a sense 3.0 build. if you decide you like aosp, try more aosp roms. if you decide you like sense, try koni's and other sense roms. have fun, and welcome to the forums (evo side at least)

Of course you should root and flash. Just realize that once you get started flashing ROMs, it can become real addictive.

Can you please post a link to a n00b's guide to flashing? I used to flash windows mobile, and im very new to this phone. I just used unrevoked to flash and nand unlock. I did a nandbackup, but I dont know what step to take next. Please help!
My battery life sucks with 4g/gps/bluetooth turned off i get about 4-6 hours of battery life, and sometimes text messages/voicemails are slow.
Thanks for all help guys

I'm comming from the HTC HD2 so I know about the whole process and how everything works. I love to mess around with my phone and see what it can do but the Evo is so fast already and runs smooth. Im not afraid of breaking the phone because I have insurance and I always take special precautions. Is it worth me to root? I love sense and would love to have GB + Sense 3.0.
Also Ive read into 4G keys, does CWM backup the WiMax partition automatically?
This is my first time working with a CDMA phone?
thanks for any input, also if anyone is using a GB+ Sense 3.0 build is it worth it?

Click to collapse
oh yea..... its definitely worth it

you already rooted, but really it depends on your needs. I am rooted but running stock and only needed root for wifitether otherwise.
