Hi guys n gals,
I just received 2.1 OTA. Very nice but I expected Car Home, Friendstream and Live Wallpapers and got nothing...
Ive been searching my butt off but didnt find these apps. Can any one of you help me or point me to the right direction. If that direction by any chance involves .apk files, could you please point me to an explanation on how to use these aswell?
TIA!
Bart

You think so?
They never bothered with the Sprint Hero update..
No they won't make an update 3... They said that they will give us only 2 updates.. So for now those options will be in custom rom
For me this version of 2.1 can't be considered as definitive, there are to much bugs and missing things.
What sounds strange to me is that in the firmware version is set as 2.1-update1 and not as 2.1.
Does it means that we can hope about a 2.1-update2 or a definitive 2.1 version ?
Wait before you call me fool. I don't believe and don't wait for another version or some patches from HTC.
I was juste asking to myself why the firmare is called 2.1-update1 and not simply 2.1
IT just means, that it's based on 2.1-update1 which was a version released by Google shortly after 2.1 I think the main feature of that update was multitouch, which was not in the first 2.1.
So, no, this doesn't say anything about possible future upgrades.
But yeah I agree... There are new bugs... they fixed some old bugs and introduced new ones, including minor annoyances e.g. the download bar in the browser will just hover over some text instead of being properly displayed in the correct row, sometimes graphic glitches when transitioning landscape<->portrait, leap<->shome, desk clock... etc.
I mean, come on. It's not exactly rocket science to fix them, so HTC I expect remedies for the bugs. There's a list of bugs/issues the Sprint Hero has somewhere on the net. Most of it applies to our GSM Heroes... and it's a looong list.

anyone seen this on the PCD website, an MR2 upgrade? whats it do? any ideas?
http://www.pcdphones.com/phone_downloads.aspx?bid=89&cid=1&mid=287&carrier=Verizon Wireless
Changes from MR1 to MR2:
Radio:
3.37.75 to 3.37.78
Imgfs:
OEMDrivers\msm7500usbfn.dll
OEMDrivers\gpsid_qct.dll
OEMDrivers\oemgpsone.dll
OEMApps\62d9d90d-ce88-4d26-80bf-501516399504.rgu
XIP:
OEMXIPKernel\nk.exe\S000
The XIP change just updates the build date. The rgu change adds this:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\PhoneInfo]
"FixedERIDestination"="ERI/00004"
DCD, I may have it wrong but you don't seem to be a guy who appreciates the 'mushy' moments. Warning, mushy moment ahead...
Welcome back DCD! We missed you!
...end mushy moment.
Did you get your computer fixed then?

I appreciate the help DCD, now can you please explain in slightly simpler terms whether you think I should install this or not? currently on the MR1 rom and the GPS unlock, and I have been pretty happy with my 3.37.75. I dont know what the imgfs stuff you said is about. Thanks and im honored you repsonded to a post of MINE!!!! LOL THANKS.

I think the radio gets updated from 3.37.75 to 3.37.78 and there are three newer files, msm7500usbfn.dll, gpsid_qct.dll and oemgpsone.dll. He says the XIP change just updates the build date and the .rgu file changes the registry key
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\PhoneInfo]
"FixedERIDestination"="ERI/00004"
Looking at the new files, msm7500 is the chipset so it looks like this might be an updated usb driver. The other two files deal with the GPS chipset. The registry change though I'm not sure what the FixedERIDestination key does but it looks like it has to do with the phone.
This is mostly speculation though and if I'm wrong, I apologize for the misinformation.
I do wonder if the MR2 has to do with Verizon's change of stance on locking out 3rd party GPS apps. Anyone try this update?
I tried it (getting a new 6800 tomorrow as the slider is dead on this one). 24.6 meg at start up. NO GPS. Will use DCD on my new one tomorrow.
The 'readme' included with the update says:
Some of the primary enhancements with this upgrade are:
• Enhancement to VZNavigator performance.
• Voice calls performance improvement on Motorola network.
Too bad they did not provide any other information....
I'm tempted to install this to see if I can get better call quality at home. Is there any way to determine if a particular location is 'on Mototola network'?
can't get GPS work with tomtom 7 after upgrade to MR2
wet back to dcd 4.1.2 cuz no GPS lock
I'm running the MR2 ROM and my impression is that it feels and works very similar to the MR1 ROM (no real surprise given the tiny change log) The GPS fixes I'd been using on MR1 work just fine on MR2.
I dont use many programs, but the stuff I run seems to work great
* BAF's GPSToggle
* Skywing's GPSServer
* Live Search
* Mochasoft 5250
* Outlook
* Internet Explorer
* ArcSoft MMS
* Cyberon Voice Recognition
Memory at boot:
Total: 46.92
Used: 22.20
Free: 24.72
FYI, .NET 3.5 will not install on this new ROM.
I contacted Verizon, waiting for a response
i recently have the MR2 on my tp2 but im gettin a notification when i send a mm message. the message i get is" Connect- in order to send/download MM messages, the currentactive connectionmay be closed (this may affect other applicationsin use). do you want to continue" and it will not send unless i select yes and it get the same notification when receiving MM messages also. does anyone know how to get this thing off, anyone else gettin this notification on there screen. im with verizon

Worked fine for me, I used the same CAB that I'd used on the MR1 ROM. I think GPS Weather Radar and maybe WiFiFoFum use .NET, both work just fine.

I'm getting this too, I found a CAB that claims to disable this but it makes a whole lot of other "tweaks" that I don't want. I suspect there's a registry setting but don't know what or where. Hopefully somebody will come up with a fix.
i known every body is asking this, but now developer never answer is somebody building a Donut Build to Hero, cant somebody port over a Dream build of 1.6 i known 1.6 is still beta but i known im not the only 1 ho wants to haw 1.6
what i im missing on 1.5 is
pptp
Full MultiTouch
Universal Quick Search Box
I believe that the issue here is that HTC have not released the kernel source code for the Hero yet, and without it making a working Donut ROM would be exceedingly hard.
Regards,
Dave
I may have missed something here too, but I dont think Donut is necessarily coming with full multi-touch support? Wouldn't this be partly an application restraint anyway?? Multi touch works in the browser so I'm guessing its not solely a hardware or Operating System restriction?

Multitouch is a pure software restriction due to Google don't want to step on Apples toes and risk getting a flock of layers asking Google to bend over...
HTC (and every other device manufacturer) on the other hand has the liberty to implement whatever feature they see fit on top of Android themselfes.
Ah, of course, which explains its inclusion into the Hero. Sorry about that!
Latest news from Twitter - Drizzy is working on porting the ROM from HTC Tattoo to the Hero. That's 1.6
I think he's working out few kinks now before it's ready.
Follow him on twitter for more news etc @heartbreakdrake

Bluetooth OBEX file transfer. Can somebody see whether this is supported?
Due to illness and being TDY for a couple of weeks, this project was on hold, but now I'm back like a vertebrae. Test up Ninjas!
Ladies and gentlemen, I need your help. I've tried to work on this ROM and need some feedback. There is only so much that I can test on until I need some feedback from outside sources. So, please give it a shot.
As the title states, this is a Manila 2.5 ROM. I've tried to tidy things up as much as possible before publicizing it. I decided to go with the older UI because, #1 it's more stable and #2, it works well with the qilin dialer.
Features:
MS Core 21885 SYS/XIP
HTC Manila 2.5
Opera 9.7 35541
Advancedconfig
hTorch
PHM Reg editor
X2 Taskbar
Camera 6.4
FM Radio
.977 Radio
Office 2010
Qilin Dialer
added animated winter wallpaper by devision
...and a few other odds and ends
WARNING: This ROM is GSM only! Do NOT try to flash if you have a CDMA phone. Don't know which phone you have? RTFW!!!

As long as your TP is GSM you'll be ok, it's just a warning to CDMA users
Why is it a COM1 Build ?
I think till COM3 the builds are very stable.
Some chefs out there are building COM8 !!
And one more question, chef why is the TP Keyboard selector baked in the ROM many people use Raphael and that should be necessary asin all other ROMs please try and include in net release
Keep up the good work !
Will try your ROM.

I can give you an answer on this topic. COM1 is official, which means stable, COM3 is experimental, which means buggy.

Thanks for answering that for me. Plus, as I mentioned earlier, the old UI plays well with Sense 2.5 and the Qilin dialer. If you use the dialer in a COM3 or the new WMD branch, basically any branch that has the larger taskbar and buttons at the bottom, the dialer sticks out like a sore thumb. Plus, like pilgrim said, it's stable.

Where is this selector? I searched and didn't come up with anything. EDIT... found it!!!
Hey, I'll give this a shot. I'll use and abuse it tonight and tomorrow and share my findings.
BTW, first actual post after lingering for months. I feel special.

Okay, here's a few quick things.
First of all, after I set up gmail with activesync, it downloaded my mail and I went in to open a few new messages, but I can't. No way to open the mail from inbox.
Second, no matter what I did, it kept wanting to finish my input for me. Even after I turned every input option off, and used advanced config, it keeps predicting everything. Not sure about that one.
Thirdly, there's something askew with the photo album. Fuze center scroll doesn't zoom, and the flip through the pics is really rough.
I do have some positives:
Overall feel is very stable. Ran smoothly and booted quicker than some other builds I've fussed with. Smooth motion.
I would probably try another build from you if you posted again, but for the mean time, I'll switch back to something slightly more user friendly, but unfortunately not as smooth and quick.

Understood, thanks. Like I said, this is a test ROM. After running it on my Fuze, I get used to any quirks it has so outside input is needed. Thanks again. Are you using a Fuze or TP? I know they are pretty much identical, but just for reference
I'm using an ATT Fuze, unlocked in every way possible.
Its always weird when something works wonderful for one person and not so great for another when their using the exact same hardware. It makes you wonder about the manufacturers sometimes.
same for me

hey, Ive flashed this ROM yester - Ive used a few ROMs and your has a lot of what Im after. Really enjoying the whole look and feel.
I'll flash the new rom tonight and get back to you with anything I find.
Thanks for your work and keep it up!
Thanks for the words of kindness. It's much appreciated.
Also, anyone maybe experience a bug with the weather? Maybe it's just me since I live in a fairly rural area, but I had a lot of problems updating my weather last night after my final flash. For simplicity, I removed all cities in the weather tab. No problems before last night, but it wouldn't update until I added an extra city. Again, maybe it's me since I live in the middle of nowhere, but just thought I'd throw that out there.
Right now i'm using VillianRom 12.0.0, but this problem seems to be in every ROM that i use the locale "Norwegian (bokmål)".
The 24 Hour clock shows just "12.03" instead of "12:03", on both the statusbar watch and the lockscreen watch. (Attached images).
It seems it's not only the "Norwegian" locale that has this problem, but also some Finnish locale?
Anyways, does anyone got a fix for this bug?, some simple setting or something?
Can't be that difficult?
Flashed the Official OTA 2.1 ROM.
The Problem is the same there, so this is a mistake from HTC (again.)
Have contacted the HTC Support (In Norway), and they just said that the new "OS" is full of bugs, and mistakes.
When i asked for when a OTA or a Manual update is rolled out, they simply closed my Ticket...
Anyways, seems this problem is going to exist for a long time..

Hmmm. Is it just the dot instead of the colon that's the issue?
Maybe I can try and find the localisation and fix it...
Yeah, that's the problem.
Would be awesome to fix it, since i see it everyday.
Offtopic, but where did you get that lock screen wallpaper?
I think it's a wallpaper i got from deviantart.com Should be somewhere at "Customation --> Wallpapers --> HD Wallpapers." And then the most popular, or something.

hi all,
I have looked up nokia lumia 800 rm 801 and found release 12460 but navifirm is not showing any variants today, I have cleared the local cache but still no variants any ideas
voith
quite a few have viewed this post but no replies, so asking in a different direction, can anyone test this and tell me if its my end or it is the same with them, if I try any of the earlier releases most supply variants so I know that at least some are working
same problem here...
navifirm shows the latest fw "number" to me, but "inside" i cannot see anything. empty...

thanks for that at least I know,I will just have to keep trying
Same here, and there seems to be somethign weird with the 710 list too, the version numbers are in the wrong order and UK or GB versions have disappeared from the latest update
I'm guessing because the original 7.8 update was buggy so until they add the fixes to the new images, they may have been removed
you could be right, I have seen this comment elsewhere, and it seemed to be backed up, but for the life of me I can't remember where, luckily I had the file on my lappy, so was able to use it to install on another phone, a couple of personal benefits is that so far my email in-box has not emptied as with the earlier windows and with the variant I used I was able to get the ease of access voice incoming call working
It looks like they've pulled the 7.8 ROMs from NaviFirm.
This makes sense as there are two very major bugs in these builds:
1. The live tile bug (it's a 7.8 build from before this was fixed)
2. The volume limit bug.
I'm sure they'll come out with new ROMs soon that address both of these issue.
