Hi

Just wanted to say hi, I registered not too long ago and have been reading for a few weeks. Still have soo much to learn. I just got a G2 to use on Wind Mobile. My goal is to root it when I've learned enough from the information on here. This site is like an android Bible to me, thanks guys

Welcome!
Excellent choice of phone btw, this is a very good forum and there are a lot of bright people here. As always, and i'm assuming you know, the search button is your best friend! The G2 has come a long way from it's root kit days (looolool) and i'm sure it's ride of fame wont end for a while.
Enjoy your stay dude!

Hi.

Howdy. Welcome to the club pal.

Shaka brah.. \m/

Well it's official, The Hero is now a Legacy Device

We have finally been relegated....
sad, but still neat to know that there is still awesome active development going on.

Been wondering when this was going to happen. Thought it would have happened long ago imho.

Ouch... I think the Legend is next then...

And to think, the G1 still has its own forum =o

problem is that I can't find our forum on the XDA app any longer. Anyone know how to find it?

Cool.. now its just a few more mouse clicks to get to this forum. Development will never stop!

Very sad...how can a device 1) less than 2 years old, and 2) Sprint's still selling, be considered a legacy device?
Gotta be honest....felling a bit betrayed. I love my Hero, but it looks like everyone's just leaving it behind (I get it, the technology's moving forward fast, but still...).
Oh well, I suppose I'll try out GB then wait for December when I can upgrade...
Much love Hero owners (echos in the hall getting emptier)

Thanks to Aosp we were pretty much in the first elite few on Android 2.3.2 Oh the irony I've got a long ways to go before I upgrade, I'm loving this phone too much.

not only are they still selling it, but they're still selling it at nearly the same cost as when it launched. with my upgrade discount, i could get a shift or a hero for the same price right now.

How do you get to hero forums on xda app now? I have them favorited, but I looked for a friend, and can't figure it out...

I have spent like an hour trying to find this forum in the xda app. I have tried looking for it by name and category with no luck. I uninstalled and reinstalled and still no forum. There is no legacy devices or hero cdma.

Just favorite the forum in a browser, open the XDA app, there ya go.

Wow, my Hero doesn't feel that old...thanks to xda!

Well, this is pure crap...why does the G1 still get a dedicated forum in the non-legacy section?
That's bull****...yeah I know our phone is old, but the oldest Android phone isn't even on here....
WHAT
THE
HELL???
Also, can't find us on the xda app anymore, guess I'll have to un-install...

Yeah, you would think they would put a section that will lead to our new location in the XDA app. I almost spend an hour looking through the app until I found the announcement in the Hero G1 section.
*sigh* A ''Legacy Template'' section on the app would be nice. Now off to the browser so I can favorite our forum.

I would love to know how to "favorite" a forum from a browser and it show up in the app for me. The only "sync" that occurs between my app and a browser is with topic subscriptions, but never with forum subscriptions.

Here is the admin that posted the announcement:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=2235607
Send him a PM. Be nice, remind him that not only is Sprint still selling the hero, they sell it for MORE than the evo shift.
Unless our forums just don't get as much traffic as the G1, or other old phones... I don't get it.

Its sad considering the Hero and the Droid Eris still have their own dedicated forum and even four older devices still have their own forum.

The Nexus S I saw at Best Buy was running 2.3.1, my Eris runs 2.3.2.

[Q] i'm back...

You should always think 10 times before promising something like this. Now I hope you are ready to play 24x7 customer support for your friend if the custom ROM you intend to use has bugs. (Assuming you get that far, but, looking at your basic skills like searching a forum, it looks unlikely)

Really?!?!?! ALL chicks?
Damnnn... I must visit the ace forums some time.

ICS on NS4G

I noticed that even though the ICS source code is now available Google only has Android 2.3.7 drivers for the Nexus S 4G's internal hardware (CDMA/WiMAX, Orientation Sensor, etc) available currently. Is it possible to compile a working version of ICS using the Android 2.3.7 drivers for the Nexus S 4G? Also, if I follow Google's compile instructions to the letter is there an easy way to backup my current stock ROM? Google's official stock ROM's for the Nexus S 4G phone has a script called "install-recovery.sh" that runs on boot removing Clockwork. Am I correct in assuming that ICS would do this if I compiled it myself per Google's instructions and flashed it to my phone?

My goodness ics is making people bonkers.

This isn't dev section material... And there are already working builds of ics if you don't want to go through the hassle of doing it yourself...
Although! If you do compile your own, then post it in our lovely dev section.
Follow the leader @corythug

I'd rather compile my own. As stated in my original post I just need a couple of questions answered first. Otherwise there won't be any new ROM's from me in your so-called lovely dev section.

This will be moved once a mod sees it, but, next time know this. People will be more apt to help you out if you put a thread like this in q& a or even maybe general instead of mucking up dev forum with a non dev thread.
Follow the leader @corythug

Haha. That's so funny. ICS is making people mental.... you should see the Evo 3D section lol. We're pissed over there! Straight up riot.

OP, I apologize for the others lack of decorum on this site. I am afraid that I am not much help, but I have a couple of suggestions:
As far as the backup, you can make a nandroid and once you are done playing around you can reboot into the boot loader and use the fastboot to reload the recovery onto the phone. From there you can re-install the nandroid backup. Keep in mind that you might want to copy the backup off of the SD card just in case you need to lock/unlock the phone. (This erases the sd card.)

I hope this helps.

regardless of if its easy to locate or not, with alittle effort, its not impossible.
i check both the NS and NS4G forums daily. I do not complain..
what makes you the OP and every one else showing ignorance in these forums, so goddamn special that you cannot post threads like these in the general section?
and not clutter up the dev sections with BS threads?
are you stupid or dumb??
i mean really.

Wow people on xda really take things up the aSs.
We ALL were noobs at one point so why call people names.?
Some people don't know better. I'm not saying I'm a pro bcuz I only have like a year Modding/rooting phones but my point is why go so hard on somebody for making a mistake or not knowing??
Sheesh

Well then you and Math Kid are the exception. Probably more mature than many men on here.
Anyhoo, OP, post another in the general and proceed. Best of luck. Lock this and bin it please.

I had an awesome time with you all

I had an awesome time with you all.
Learned a lot, and helped a lot of people.
Thnx to all of you, this was such a fun amazing forum! I made friends and was a lot of fun over all.
Also the mods in this forum are pretty chill.. no insane mods taking actions just cuz they got powers.
I will now be moving on to the "Samsung Galaxy S2" forum (here in xda).
Hope to see ya'll there, so get a SGS2!
thnx all
cya

Thanks to you also, if not for your noob proof rooting, I never would have rooted my slide. I am the ultra noob you know, LOL. I also had moved on to the Amaze, too bad you didn't go that way as we could use more developers for it. Good luck to you.

My s2 somehow bricked itself this morning but when I get my replacement ill be back in the s2 forums
