2.1 Update - ask your newbie questions here

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
Fred

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.

You actually think the people here are jobless enough to make a ROM customized to meet your demands?
For the time being, flash a Custom ROM (Kyrillos' or Indroid or something) and check This Thread after a couple of weeks. By then Kyrillos would've released v6.0 based on JPQ.
Well, I'm not sure if it'll meet all your demands. But still...

Dude you just got me wrong ..........actually the problem is i'm not able to root my phone on any of the stock ROMs so wanted a rooted XXJPQ so had asked ...............
i tried to root it with almost all stock ROMs using SuperOneClick but it always was on "waiting for phone"

yes you can root it with SuperOneClickv1.9.5-ShortFuse, because i rooted mine. do the boot method, you turn on the phone while the rooting process is running on your pc, while it is on "waiting for a device". enable debug mode.
than to enable live wallpapers, use this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=793823

and remember to put it into debug mode.
To remove the sounds when unblocking the phone go to settings>sounds

Please see that Cyanogen Mod is currently in Alpha stage and some modules are not working.
If you want to install it any way for testing purpose follow the link below then you download the ZIP File. After download completes extract the zip to obtain a TAR file. Fire up ODIN and Select the OPS as you and Flash as one package with the TAR image. After phone flashes up and boot. Wipe Data and Cache from the Recovery and reboot. You would be able to use CM7 Alpha5 Fix1.
Please See- You cant install CM7 without flashing and also see that you have a backup of your whole phone. Use titanium backup from market.
CM7 Download link- http://www.multiupload.com/Y3GTH2QN56
If you dont know how to flash please inform i will help you with the links.
If your problem is still not solved. Kindly quote my answer and tell me.

Quote Wikipedia, "BusyBox provides several stripped-down Unix tools in a single executable. It runs on top of the Linux kernel just as does Gnu/Linux. It is ideally suited to run in embedded devices. It has been self-dubbed "The Swiss Army Knife of Embedded Linux".".
Basically it is a tool which allows you to perform certain functions.

Anything for i815 (Verizon LTE edition)?

Hi. I've got the Verizon LTE version of this tablet (model i815.04 to be exact).
I've rooted following the guide here. This has enabled me to install Titanium, and play around with some other tools.
However, to my knowledge there's no custom recovery or ROMs for this device yet. I'm hopeful that it'll get a Clockworkmod recover soon, along with Cyanogenmod 9, but I have not seen anything yet.
Anyone aware of ongoing efforts in this regard?

Since it's brand new it might be a while still. There still no custom ROM to speak of for the P6800 and it been out for a few months. Just sit back and enjoy it for now , personally I am just waiting for ics to come out no need for custom ROM with this baby.

We also don't have the kernel source for the i815 yet -- so any device specific stuff (like lte), will be much harder to get working.

[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.

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?
