Hello guys ! First, excuse me for my poor English and sorry if this problem have already been solved I searched before but didn't find exactly my problem.
I tried to boot Android (dcordes one) yesterday and my HD2 couldn't reboot.
So I flashed Artemis v22 and it booted, but my HD2 was very long to boot. So I imported my contact & cie and then play around whit it (installing CHT, Themes...)
But like 1 hour after, many apps stop to function and force me to reboot my device.
I reboot it and it takes like 5 minutes to boot... Once it's done, my HD2 show me again the tutorial about how to type, and to configure my email, facebook, twitter & cie.
I tried to flash Artemis v15 or v18 but I get the same problem...
And this problem happened right after I tried Android.
Did I screw my processor ? Or is it just one app that cause the problem ?
If anyone have a solution, i'm listening .
Thank you for reading me and again, sorry for my English. ;-)

Orrrrr... realize that this is still heavily in development and that it cannot, I repeat, C A N N O T be used yet.
Task29 your HD2, flash a new rom and leave Android alone until we have a stable port.

Yeah, I understand that... Believe me, as both a Windows Mobile & Android developer, I would love nothing more than to have both on my phone (for testing, of course... ). However, this is still really early in development and until a stable build comes out, there is too much risk and seriously bricking your device... Just a word of caution.

You are so right Dotnetguyaz. The idea of running Android and WinMo together is really exciting but till the stability of port is not achieved, caution is our friend.

EVO8
It's based on 18508 wm6 rom
I'm just testing right now
One first impression is that I do not like the mix of fonts. Feels snappy though.
I miss the Network config tool. Feels kind of oldfashioned to edit the settings manually or by a cabfile.

Hi, Gullum, how about flash it from the very wm6 operating in your device now^^?
I'm not so sure, but according to Youzii, EVO8 can be flash from WM6 roms directly...^^ (for me, EVO's series never required me to downgread first for flashing it...)
Have you tried toflash in bootloader mode?

what is the problem ?! I haven't tried this rom yet, but I don't understand what happened to your prophet ?! do you mean no matter what you always get to bootloader ?

Yes I've tried but I just get the bootloader again when finished flashing WM5
I'm trying NVID now and hope it works I will figur it out hopefully
Edit: Got my phone working again
waiting for your new notices about your prophet. Cross wour fingers
EVO's cooking utinity is somewhat different, so users who cannot flash EVO8 please re-flash it again with the "how-to" below:
------------------------------------------------------------
1.Flash PV_TEMP (download PV_Temp http://tom-love.net/Rom/Prophet/WM6....et_PV_Temp.zip )
2.Install Cert_SPCS.cab、EnableRapi.cab to the wm5 PVTEMP (your ppc). (donwload the two files at the same EVO site)
3.Execute EVO7.part1.exe >> choose upgrade method 3 (No bother to try part 2, double click EVO7.1 Part 1 will do the tricks)
Note: Part 1 and Part 2 are the same file devided into two parts. The former is a self-decompressing file which associates the latter by itself)
4.Wait for 20 mins or so. (or you may like to check PdocWrite out in your PC for time's saving.)
5. 1st device configuration (the first time)
6.Hard-reset (type 1234 on Clear Storage, rather than hold two buttons + the tiny hole pricking, is strongly recommanded).
7. 2nd device configuration (the second time)
8. Start enjoying your "brand-new" device!

I hate to say this, but almost every version of EVO series was and still is the fastest, if not also the most reliable rom comtemporarily....
If it were not true, I shouldn't have endured some Chinese EVOs long before ^^"
Believe it or not -- it only takes 3/4 round to open the Windows file (Resco Explorer, all options of browser crossed off), with its HTCHome installed, Chinese IM settled, dozens of applications activated by shourtcuts created from the SD, and an overclocked 264HMz CPU.
However, every rom shared here are great. Some are good at creativeness, while others richness with a lot of apps.
Many many thinks to Youzii and all rom masters!! Thanks for your sharing!!
Can't wait to flash it tonight!

Pocket Informant
Great ROM! that is going to be my choose for a long time... But i've found a little problem: Installing Pocket Informant as default PIM cause to change poutlook.lnk at \Windows\Startup. If you then soft-reset, Pocket Informant runs at beggining and my prophet hangs!

which hardspl are you using???
did you hard reset after flash???
the memory card shouldnt be a problem since the shortcuts are all in device!
Did you flash it from memory card or from pc??
Thats strange...but if the fault is mine i´m sorry, i´ve been using this rom for a months now and havent had any errors or bugs!

newest hard-spl...
no hard reset... couldn't open anything with sd card inside..
flashed it from pc... like all my roms..
but got it to work with active sync after i removed the sd card and doing a soft reset..
then i flashed a new one..
No problems here
I just had to verify that it couldn't be as bad as the above stated..
HardSPL 2.51 flashed from SDCARD.. worked like a charm.. quick and fast.
Will take the opportunity to go through this rom later.
I am at the moment very satisfied with the Energy Rom from 11 June

Well if you´re signal improved must be related with the radio you´re using and in combination with the version of the packs in the rom, cause i´ve done minimal tweaks, the normal that almost everyone does!
Wow that was fast! Thank you! Downloading now and will give it a try. Your work is greatly appreciated.
Hello!
Downloading now,looking forward to try it.I like the appearance,
so keep on with the good work..

you are right seems to be a problem with youtube app, i´ll chek it out later!
if u don´t want to use Androkkid, there are two ways, go to "\\program files\"
delete folder Androkkid, next go to \\windows\startup\ , and \\windows\start menu\programs\ and delete Androkkid.lnk !
The other way is just to delete the \\windows\startup\Androkkid.lnk , it will prevent the program to run on start up!

Yes!. I flash the phone. Sorry kara but the rom is still too green. In the first hour, the phone reboot one time and freez two times. It is more fast than the official KD4. Very smooth. Recently freez when i copying my music to the phone.Anyway...the phone run like forrest.I feel sorry return to the previous rom but the phone reboot and freez too much.
I hope new versions guys!. Tell me where i can help. Cheers.
OK .But you were too hasty to revert back . **** I wanted to run some tests .Do you have Set CPU .Change governor to Conservative that fixes the reboot cycle.
USB transfer has hitches you say .Hmm very interesting ,but it's a start and we need people to point out bugs .
How you can help : --
1.)Just use this ROM for four hours .
2.)Use SetCPU,Ti backup , and any other busybox based app together .
3.)Shut down the phone and check whether the screen switches off.
4.)Use Link2SD/dta2SD on ext4 partition of SD card
Ok!. I will use the rom more time in the name of justice!!!. Let me install the setcpu and test the "conservative" setting. Thank Kara!!

I will not try it yet ! But i got to say thanks to put your work into this im sure i will use a stable version! Try making a tutorial on how to flash our phone! Once again
Tks a lot for the effort
yup. been using it for a day. many thanks.
aside from bluetooth, ive experienced d phone resetting itself after uninstalling a system app thru ti-b. didnt do that before the switch. the same thing goes when i do a group install using easy installer. you also hve to install setcpu first before running easy installer since the phone will hang and reset if you dont.
will give more updates once available.

I specifically created it for people who know to use Odin.
I can post a tutorial but there are serious legal issues involved in publishing the tutorial without the permit of samsung.
Odin is used as Level 1 repair tool in samsung !!!
You can head to samfirmware.com and they have flash guide specifically for 551.
We cant make a stable version if dont know what makes this version unstable.

Does easy installer use busybox ?

Double post
Im not sure if Easy Installer uses busybox, sorry.
On the other hand, system apps would include Market, Bookmark and Messaging apps. I normally remove TW and exchange it with ADW Launcher EX.
Hope we can resolve the bluetooth issue soon. Im still stress testing ur rom. Will upd8 1s I see more. I really like the 667 feature.
What freq did u uas default? It seems a little unstable imho.
Thanks again and regards.

667 Mhz since three days . Never crashed and lets be honest .I have a standard 30 app test(I use only 30-40 apps regularly ).If those 30 apps work then the phone seems to work for me.I cant test all 100000 apps on the phone you know !!!
As a matter of fact I just uninstalled Twlauncher and Samsung apps .No hitch noticed !!!
Understood.
I wonder why mine occasionally resets when I perform those I mentioned earlier.
Overall, I'm happy and satisfied save for the bluetooth feature. Thanks again

Hello Guy's,
this is my first post after spending _hours_ with searching and trying to flash my 2 Year Old HTC Hero.
I want to give it a second live. Especialy my dad lost his old phone...
I'm very frustrated and I need maybe a suggestion from you to get startet.
Here are some fact's I tried:
Installed Rom:
HTC-Sense Android 1.6 preInstalled bei "Deutsche Telekom D1" (They told me!).
But Firmware say's "Firmware Version 1.5). So which Information counts?
Personally I guess I have 1.5 because your Device Database tells it's a T-Mobile G2 Touch (GSM i think)
SD-Card:
2GB with 1,6GB free
Tried to do flashing like mentioned in your wiki. And tried the CM-Wiki for the Hero
wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Hero_%28GSM%29:_Full_Update_Guide
But flash_image tells:
Illegal Instruction...
ROM Manager is not found in the market.
Tried to download it and install it via ./adb install <image>.apk
This tells:
OLD_VERSION..
Guess I'm dealing with wrong App-Versions. Now I'm a little bit "confused" what exactly to do.
I thought about reset the whole phone an do some fresh install.
But all instrctions I can find on google or here is doing the things with "Rom Manager" or doing it with other Android versions than mine...
I'm not the guy who wants a step by step help and wasting other peoples time.
But I'm at a point, i need some link and/or small advice how to start the right way...
Thanks a lot

Here is my feedback:
All works wonderful!
This is by far the best HowTo I dealed with, the last days!
Installed elelinux froyo 6.2.0. It looks nice.
Two last questions:
Where kann I "thank you"? Didn't found a button (guess i'm blind *G*) ?!
Can anyone suggest a ROM with focus on long battery life and easy/intuitive phoning/contact management?
My dad is no power user ;-) ;-) All he needs are the above mentioned. Very old school *G*
Have a nice day!

Sent from my Hero using XDA App
I can share with you a simple and minimal Android rom that could make the ace completely usable in 2018... Would you be interested?
I think that the best idea is to use Android 2.3 as base (no bloatware, no TouchWiz, and no Android 4.4 that just crazily drains battery)
I' ve tested less known apps that can still run on 2.3 (and found them very fast too). I will replace old system apps with them
I also thought that a good way to push the Ace beyond it's limit is to take a look at the Sony Xperia Play threads on xda. This phone has the same cpu/gpu and it has been supported a lot through the years (being a gaming phone, Devs has done their best to optimize performance instead of themes and useless functions)
Let me know what you want to see in this rom and I'll try to do it!
Just leave a comment with an advice :fingers-crossed:

Hi tiger! Thank you!
Would you also be interested in testing the first release of the rom?
If the project will be appreciated I' ll work on next releases even more (I could recompile the rom from source, we could change the kernel, choose more in depth oprimizations ecc)
P.S. Which are the best and last roms you installed on your ace?
New rom? Great!
Would you be interested?

Hello.
I'm interested too. I recover from dust my old Galaxy Ace II (GT-S5839i), but it is very limited in memory right now. There is no easy way to extend memory with an SD card.
Some apps are not supported on the old Gigerbread 2.3.6 (Whatsapp will not have any update anymore). I was not aware of the "4.4 draining battery probelm"

Hi jaymor,
Regarding 4.4 :
the 4.4. battery consuption problem is caused by Jellybean itself. Devs that made 4,4 roms made a wonderful job, but the the ace hardware doesn't have enough power to work on a so new new/heavy os.
Regarding Whatsapp :
I don't see any reason to don't use WA on Android 2.3
1) they stopped updating it just 4 months ago (I don't know if you have the latest version)
2) they aren't adding new features, and the most important one that is messages criptografy is supported on 2.3
3) WA does nothing else that increasing in size with each version, and you just tell us how limited storage could be annoying on old devices
Regarding GT-S5839i
I checked its specs, it seems to have 158mb of rom and support for micro-sds up to 32gb. Using a custom rom you shouldn't worry about memory.
Unfortunately you can't flash my rom (it's for s5830) I'll surely make a rom also for this device if I had a device for testing it, but first of all I have to complete this rom
Hi Mich-C.
I agree with you : Whatsapp work for now on 2.3, but they announced (I cant post link in XDA, but search Google for "WhatsApp-support-for-mobile-devices" ) it will not work anymore in 2020. Same for Symbian and iOS 6 (and old dino-smartphone).
Not a big deal, but if I could refurb this phone to my kids for free, it will be cool.

2) they aren't adding new features, and the most important one that is messages criptografy is supported on 2.3
3) WA does nothing else that increasing in size with each version, and you just tell us how limited storage could be annoying on old devices
Regarding GT-S5839i
I checked its specs, it seems to have 158mb of rom and support for micro-sds up to 32gb. Using a custom rom you shouldn't worry about memory.
Unfortunately you can't flash my rom (it's for s5830) I'll surely make a rom also for this device if I had a device for testing it, but first of all I have to complete this rom

ok thanks
but did you know that this is not an actual Lollipop rom? It's a rom themed to look like lollipop. It was posted here on the forum, if I'm not wrong it's based on cm7.1 (so Android 2.3)

Hi Mich-C.
I agree with you : Whatsapp work for now on 2.3, but they announced (I cant post link in XDA, but search Google for "WhatsApp-support-for-mobile-devices" ) it will not work anymore in 2020. Same for Symbian and iOS 6 (and old dino-smartphone).
Not a big deal, but if I could refurb this phone to my kids for free, it will be cool.

Ok, anyway we still have almost 2 year to keep using whatsapp. I hope that until then it will be replaced by something else.
I would also recompile those apks to make them working on 2.3, but apps like Whatsapp (or even Telegram) are not opensource...

Mmhh, not sure... "About Phone" shows 'Android 5.0' . I never used lollipop so I cannot verify whether it is a lookalike or a ROM. Here in the forums I did not find it, maybe you had " conceptL' in mind? That one was posted here indeed as far as I remember. And that one is a CM 7.1

The showed android version can be modified by the dev.
The name of the author is probably hidden in settings or in the easter egg (touch 7 times "about phone")
Last "actual" android version that was developed fo ace is kitkat

Thank you! So I was right

It's the first time I see this rom.
Do you mean that you like its non-lollipop look? Or that it's a real lollipop rom?

Ah ok I just finished watching the video, the guy said a lot of shareable things about planned obsolence and privacy!
Thanks for your opinion about the theme

What do you think about the ROM?

Well, it's a very nice rom but I find useless to fuse both the look of iOS and LineageOS on a CyanogenMod rom, it would be better If he just made a pure iOS or LineageOS looklike rom.
I like the fact that he didn't install GApps and the full Facebook app, I won't include them too in my rom too! (I'll try to do it without losing features)
My rom should also be faster than this one, or at the least I hope so
@Mich-C haven't you shared your ROM eventually? I'd be interested too.
Hi @Erpinoob
I'm sorry for making you and other users wait, the reasons are
1)I'm busy for the university
2)Recently I got a boot-loop I'm going to fix
3)I don't want to release 99999 versions of the rom
4)I'm including several "old" tools for android 2.3, often links are not working and so I'm still waiting for developers to provide me new links
4)I'm learning how to develop apps in Android Studio at the university, and I'm taking advantage of this creating 2-3 exclusive apps for my rom
I hope to finish the rom after christmas holidays, anyway I'll tag in the post all those who left a comment in this thread
Greetings
