New Hero coming tomorrow. What should I do first??!?

Ok so my new Hero will be here tomorrow, what should I do first? I know I should probably get rid of that horrid stock ROM, but which do I get? Modaco, LoX 2.1 (Eclair) or what? What should I install? Should I erase and partition my SD card? What what what??? I'm so excited and I just can't hide it!!! What should I do first?

Use MoDaCo if you want to use your phone as a phone - 2.1 is still bleeding edge and isn't based on a final release build by HTC.
But first you will need to create a goldcard from your SD card - follow the instructions here and free it from ROM lock-in. Once you've got through that, re-format your SD card to have a FAT32 partition as the first and a EXT3 partition as the second (I'd suggest a larger SD card than the standard 2 GB card supplied with the phone - and a class 6 for read speed). I would also install the latest Amon RA recovery image on the phone rather than the one suggested - although that works as well. Then finally install the MoDaCo ROM as per the installation instructions.

Just an FYI, but if you've got a Hero with a 2.73 build, the stock ROM isn't horrid. It all depends on what you want to do with your phone - e.g. if you want to use Apps2SD, you will need to have a rooted ROM, but if you have no need for root the stock ROM is fine.
That being said, I'd advise all GSM Hero owners to install a Modaco build!

Dave

Any good SD cards you'd recommend that I could pick up from a local best buy?

I can't tell of any any specific SD cards that you could get in Best Buy, but since you are shopping at Best Buy I take it you are in the US? If so, you are probably buying either the Sprint Hero or Verizon Droid Eris. Be aware that these are different to GSM Hero's as they use CDMA, and you should *not* try to install a GSM ROM on a CDMA Hero.

Dave

I actually ordered the Telus one which is GSM and I've confirmed that the other GSM ROMS should work fine. Thanks though Dave

Best Buy are the last place I'd buy SD cards from! They are generally unlabeled as to their specs which is my only gripe with the ones sold at Best Buy. I've got an A-Date Turbo 16 GB (class 6) card. It works fine and fast.

Well I just said Best Buy because I didn't want to have to wait by ordering online. I'd like to pick something up in a store so I can play with it over the weekend. Is this a class 6:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/SanDisk...Card/9016968.p?id=1218013808149&skuId=9016968
Or this one?

They both are. but the class only points at the minimum speed of a card.
For example there are some class 4 or 5 cards that are faster than a cheap class 6 card.
@pauliusba
I think he means the original rom shipped with the first hero's. It is kinda sluggish and lags a lot compared to htc latest rom. (also modaco 3.0 seems to be even faster)

except you need micro sd

Stock rom is anything but horrid

Yeah. To be precise, microSDHC. Sorry used to talking short hand. Class spec gives you a minimum transfer rate guarantee. Some lower spec'd microSDHC cards might give you faster transfer rates than a class 6, but you won't know until you buy and test - which is fine if you want to waste time doing so.
You'll want something with this form factor:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/SanDisk...12520281&skuId=9054337&st=microsdhc&cp=1&lp=4
Note this is class 2 at a cost of $99 - I got my A-Data Turbo 16 GB (class 6) for $67 CDN before tax. I'd go to any smaller computer place and see what deal they can do for you.

Hmmm... For some reason downloads from the market has stopped working... I haven't been able to download anything from the market in the last hour... The download just sits at 'Starting Download' but never starts... I heard that you have to hack/root your phone to download market apps if you're using a European or Telus Hero in the states but when i first got the phone I was downloading apps just fine so I figured that was false... any idea how to go about finding out what's wrong? I'm on WiFi...

Not sure why but sometimes Market downloads take ages to start... It's annoying, but patience seems to be the key at the moment... they'll get there eventually

Ok this is turning into a serious problem... I still can't get a download. Not last night, and not today and I've tried many many times... 20+
Something is obviously wrong. Any ideas?

This is so freaking ODD! Ok so I did a search and found a HUGE thread with hundreds of people having the same issue... one of the suggestions was to start the google talk app as this seems to remedy it but the guy said he had to do this each time he wanted to install an app... I tried it and sure enough AS SOON as I started google talk, I got a bazillion alerts in my notification bar saying all the previous apps I was trying to download were downloading and then completed... There has to be a way to fix this. I do not want to have to start google talk every time I want to download something...

The only time I've had the issue is when I've lost WiFi (either signal dropped out and then came back on or I had the idle WiFi kill issue). I've only had the issue after Y5 was installed, when the WiFi had dropped and come back on a few times. Curing the problem, I just switched WiFi off for a minute and then back on again.

no matter what roms you choose, and no matter what sd card you have to use, be ready to enjoy your phone, and enjoy the fun the hero brings to you

[Q] What's in the box?

Would someone please tell me what is supposed to be included in the Elocity 7 box when purchased?
Is it supposed to include a USB to USB cable? If not, how is it supposed to be connected to our computer (if necessary)?
I saw the following and wonder if if is correct (it doesn't mention a USB cable):
What is in the box:
eLocity™ 7-Inch Internet, Tablet with 4GB internal memory, rechargeable lithium polymer battery, user manual and safety guide, warranty card and AC adaptor with power cord.
Thank you.
Bobby

That's all folks!!!
Yup, that was all that was in the box. I actually had a screen protector in my box, but it got ruined when I tried to remove the tape from it. It was taped to the A7 to hold it.
I bought 5 bluetooth dongles from eBay - only 2 bucks each - and plugged them into my computers. I can easily transfer files now between all computers and the A7 - and my phones now - and each other.
Really there was nothing else in there.
I did buy a case....the USAGear neoprene black one. Bought it on Amazon. On sale now for about 13 bucks. Fits almost perfect. It could be just a touch longer, but looks good.
Make sure you do the upgrade to latest firmware from website, then Dexters mod 1.41 - makes it a great machine!
I have a bluetooth gps receiver coming - have heard they work with the A7.

Thanks.
What firmware update are you referring to?
I already have PBJ8000.2.0.0133.
(I'm personally not too 'fond' of the updates because they keep replacing apps I previous removed. And I understand every future update will do the same.)

The A7 need a dedicated dev to work on it, thanks Dexter but your legion is to motorola, was using Dexter mod but went back to the stock rom, have less issue with stock than with Dexter mod..don't have to reinsert SD or USB and It show the correct SD card size ..

Firmware update
I believe the latest firmware update is 2.2
It was out in February - i think the 24th, but not sure.
Anyway, i did install the latest firmware, then in order to get the Market place app, I "upgraded" to Dexters mod 1.41 so I could install almost any app from marketplace.

i never seen sdcard (external) reported in stock rom reported correctly or even found? i know it mounts it at /storage/sdcard-disk0 but thats it, for previous releases.. can you tell me how you see it better or do you actually mean internal storage, because "correct sdcard size" is fine here too?
btw(little OT),
for those using stock and want all the new gameloft HD games running, you cannot use stock, as /storage is not supported, it reports "no free space".
if you want to use the usb cable, you still need to be able to switch between host/device, which is not working in our firmware...
you can manually switch but the OS do not acknowledge it correctly.

The newbie on his grandmothers account is right.
He is naming the fw version
2.2 is the android OS version.
Not directly related.

Guess with dextermod were running android 1.41 ? Lol

Ya im looking forward to dexterbread 2.3 and maybe if were lucky even
dextercomb 3.0 LOL!
And in back to the topic,you only received the other accessories if you ordered
your tablet off of Amazon back when it first came out.It was a bonus package,
the only items in the box now are tablet with battery,power cord screen protector
and the paper work.

as no folio owners read here, i can tell you i seen 3.0 on my toshiba folio, very bad for now(soft egl), but its work in progress. but of course, its because we had part of the kernel source available, and im not alone on this at all. but kernel source helps when board changes are needed...

I can remember having some of the same problems with the droid 1 in the beginning but it got worked out and I am still using it as my main phone running gingerbread and can do anything that the newer phones can do and a lot of the things they cant.The ones of us that love this tablet for what it is and can understand even the basics will get a long and happy life out of the A7.

checked it already and its not complete, for compile.. and no details on how to actually making it compile..
tried to copy it on top of 2.6.36.3 but some scripts were missing, so its nice, but not really useful.
anyways A7 has different hardware, and is similar to the Harmony board (called naz10) where Asus the much newer Whistler board for their kit, which has more video mem and some other functions on the board we dont have here..
similar but not quite the same when you get technical.

Alicez, you are right about the firmware. I was mistaken on that one. Looks like you have the latest.
By now you are probably trying to find a case to put it in? I found a great one that just barely fits at amazon.com. It is made by USAgear - neoprene black.

Wait a sec.. you can ROOT the Nook Color??

Wow!
Now that's amazing.
Question:
After rooting, what exactly all can I do with it?
I understand I can flash Roms, user Market, etc...
But does it work just like any OTHER Android device then (Tablet, phone, etc)?
As in, can I surf the web? Can I make phone calls? Can I?
CAN I???
=D
Your brief answer would be appreciated since I'm completely new to the Nook world. I have an oppotunity to pick one up for 189, and was wondering if I should.

You can use it just like any other non-honeycomb tablet. You can put Cyanogenmod on it. You can only make calls using a sip client, and only using a bluetooth headset, no 3.5" headphone mic.
Look around, there is a dedicated developer community around the nook, you will find you can do things you never thought possible with it.

I have not yet seen a workaround for the lack of audio input hardware. So at best you can text (using emulation software) and hear but not speak in and VOIP settings.

There are 2 major things that you, OP, need to understand
1. This little 7" device is an EREADER, not a tablet, so don't ask too much about it, don't jump and say it's suck 'cuz lack of hdmi or missing camera.
2. You must know what stock ROM has offered and what is their limitation. Understand it clearly, then rooting it and comparing back what after and before, have offered.
To answer your questions
Can you surf web? yes
Can you make call? 99% no (must use Google Voice with bluetooth headset with plus this and plus that and plus others, basically, it's painful.)

I didn't think you need to root stock to flash new roms... Just book CWM off a SD card, and flash the roms... they already have root access.

Just keep in mind, if you're flashing to internal memory... You're going to overwrite the stock rom. There's lots of threads here already detailing how to return to stock if you need to. You can also boot a new rom off the SDcard if you just want to check them out before taking the plunge. Again, plenty of threads about that too.

I see what your saying about booting off the SDcard, can you just leave it that way and boot off the the SD and then sometimes not off the SD and use the Nook firmware. Reason I'm asking is looking for a Reader for the wife that I can also "play" with and use as a tablet, but also leave it so she can use it as the way it was meant to be.

Absolutely, and this is how I've been using it. There are some problems for a couple of apps that expect to be in the internal memory, such as AdFree and ClockworkMod, but those are in the minority. However, I must remind you to choose your microSD card wisely. I use a 16GB class 4 SanDisk.

file manager with usb flash drive supoort?

Only one I know if is made by Toshiba, as a thrive system app. Anyone know of any others that actually let me access a flash drive, easily transfer files back and forth, ect?

Astro works for me. Once you understand the naming conventions.

I use root explorer and it recognizes it. Astro as well.

ES file explorer. Just go to favourites and you'll see external sd card and usb drives...

A couple of good favorites,
But, for the internal, root explorer. A paid app, but, de-facto standard for working on things in the internal memory.

File Manager HD works as well. You can also run that app as root if you were going to change system files. As long as you know where to look pretty much any file explorer app should be able to access your usb storage device.

confusion..
Are you trying to read a micro USB card thru a adaptor or card reader.
If so not all brands of USB to SD will work.
I have one s carry in my purse to read full size cards that we use at work for job images.my tablet will NOT Read the SD card using this one. I think its a pny brand.

Trade you my ruptured knee, for your shoulder. I'll toss in my walking stick Custom made from Romania. For 6 starbucks coffee's I'll toss in the shattered plastic knee cap. Slightly used, 14yr old. But comes with accessories. Don't need it anymore.
No, you will get no sympathy, Just understanding. Life goes on.

ouch.
I was just short of needing joint replacement.and yes there are people far worse off then the both of us.
But with that said I will trade you some scar tissue and swelling for the coffee.hand deliveredfrom you.
Sorry for this in your thread op.
I will stop now.
I use root explorer and have always had astro.root explorer is not flashy or user friendly. Like a comand prompt it just works.

xD I don't mind at all. The websites I come from are close communities where people going on off topic tangents is the norm - I was starting to think that didnt exist much here in XDA. (It certainly doesn't in my phone's worthless forum. >_>
While everyones reading this thread, does anyone know any good calendar widgets? I'm looking for a full-month one that is at minimum 5x5.

As I have yet to find a magical file manager that does everything I need, I keep ES File Explorer, File Manager HD, and Astro installed. Between those, nothing I haven't been able to do. I do know I have used a 2gb thumb drive from Swiss Army and ES File Explorer showed it fine once I opened the favorites section.
Edit: After reading all the posts, I fear I may have misunderstood the question and repeated the same thing others have said.

s'ok. Actually, as I mentioned in my first post, the Toshiba thrive file manager is really nice. While it doesn't do root, maybe it could be ported over to the A500? It doesn't do root (unless there's a hack I haven't heard of) but it seems to do everything else very well.
(I was really looking at getting a thrive before I got gifted my a500. Turns out I like this one better anyways )

Thrive
I to actually like the look of the thrive tablet.. I Bought my acer when they were pre released.So it was not available.. Just like the ports on the thrive.. the ability to swap out the battery . and can put a CUTE PINK COVER ON THE Changeable back..
it feels very solid in your hand as well. with all the above said.. i do think the iconia is best.. unless the thrive gets totally unlocked...

When I first got my tablet, I was able to read some files from a USB flash drive as well as a 2tb external drive. Somewhere something went wrong and I was not able to read anything USB.
THEN
I did a factory reset and all is well.
Stock, not rooted. Came with 3.0 then updated to 3.1 then 3.2

Something Strange Has Happened To My GED WiFi Xoom

For some odd reason I can NOW Move, Delete, Copy, Paste etc. etc. on my SD Card from SDCARDXD. I did NOT sign up for the ICS update. I am NOT Rooted & I am still running Stock. I have NO idea what has happened. Does anyone know what may have happened. I DON'T have EOS ICS. Nothing has changed since the day I bought my GED WiFi Xoom (Day 1).
Right now I am using SDCARDXD and moving Movies from the MNT/External1 Folder to MNT/SDCard/Movies, then Deleting the Movies from External1 I can't believe it. It is Amazing. I have NOT used my Xoom in about a Month because I could NOT do these functions without the use of my PC. I wanted to do it Internally and I decided to pick up my Xoom today and started to play with it and I can do what I could NOT do a Month ago. I am just wondering what HAPPENED?

All I'm going to say is...great! I'm really glad it's working for you, and better late than never!

All I EVER wanted from my GED Xoom was to be able to work on my SD Card Internally WITHOUT Root. That's why I got a GED Pure Android Device
Thanks Bro.

If you wouldn't have been so busy ranting about how terrible the Xoom is, maybe you would have seen this app months ago when gmanapps released it. It was the talk of the town on the Motorola users forum.
As gmanapps has said many times, the API calls are there, but developers are not using them. So he made use of them and wrote the app.
It must suck to not be able to see the forest for the trees.

It looks like it would work for you, but it's a paid app. Are you on HC 3.2.1? The level of update seems to be required for non-US Xoom.
Good luck.

Weird, market search on xoom doesn't find it. Market search on laptop finds it, lets me by it and loads it on xoom

If you wouldn't have been so busy ranting about how terrible the Xoom is, maybe you would have seen this app months ago when gmanapps released it. It was the talk of the town on the Motorola users forum.
As gmanapps has said many times, the API calls are there, but developers are not using them. So he made use of them and wrote the app.
It must suck to not be able to see the forest for the trees.

You know what, you TALK ALOT OF **** and ASSUME wayyyyy too much. I bought GmanApps (SDCARDXD) the day it was released for $1.49. I remember when he released that App and I bought it day 1. I also commented on Nov 7th under (Ghodzilla5150 or BigFame) OH SNAP, LOL At that time he had not put in Delete Mode yet or Move & Paste. He also wrote a long synopsis on why he thought GED was holding BACK US Xoom's and how he thought ICS was NOT going to HELP with the SD Card issue.
Instead of stalking ME, maybe YOU should read the Moto Forum's a little more. He talked about this BEFORE they changed the Forum format. He did NOT want to post his beliefs believing he would get Banned because that's what they do on the Moto Forums. Ban anyone who Negatively speaks ill about their Precious GED Xoom.
It must SUCK when you ASS U ME, you know me and what I have done.
