Okay, so I've been looking for a Japanese locale patch for my phone and I've found this patch but for some reason I can't get it to work on my phone but I have the Samsung Japanese keypad working that was posted in that thread, but I was just wondering if anyone has any insight on this, or knows of a different way to set the locale (and yes I know there are apps on the market that do it but I'd prefer to not use one of them). I'm running Superclean 2.9 right atm.
It doesn't work because that is meant for the i9000. Odds are, you aren't going to see a Japanese patch or ROM for the Fascinate unless you set it up yourself, or find someone else willing to do it. The phone is shipping with just English and Spanish afaik, so those are your choices if you don't want an app from the market.
Yes I realized that when I found it, but there have been a few people that posted in that thread saying they got it working on their HTC Evo 4g, and some seem to have it working on their Galaxy Tabs, and because of that I decided to try it out, ran into problems and wanted to see if anyone had gotten it to work.

ban me now.
i know i know, any hi! i'm new thread deserves beatings, and whilst i'm fully aware i'm tempting the wrath of you all by doing this....... but i don't know where else to look.
i got a htc hero 24hrs ago on orange (uk). upgrade from a sony k850i so i have never had a smartphone before. i have no idea what i'm doing with it.
i've looked but not found a RTFM page yet, or i am that retarded that i can't even find it. what i can find contradicts what i've previously read so i though i'd ask you lot....
anyway - grovelling apologies aside:
1) rooting - is there one simple way to do this, so far i have found 4 processes and don't know which ones to trust.
2) ROM's - finally found out how to get software for the phone-(shouldn't there have been a disk with the phone?) and have installed active sync. i have just downloaded:
RUU_Herrange_UK_2.73.61.5_release_signed_NoDriver
is that the best/most recent ROM? if not, what is?
i guess i dont know enough about the phone to know the differences and therefore where to start. does rooting your phone allow you to get access to other apps like cydia and icy for the iphone do for example? whats the point, apart from to enable read/write access on the SD card (whats the biggest SD Card a Hero will take by the way?)
3) radios? what difference does it make if i'm listening to queen or queens of the stone age lol. seriously, whats the score here and where do i look for noob info?
help me. people with iphones are telling me i did a bad thing getting a hero. make me wise in the ways of the droid.
please and thank you.
Hi mate,
I am no expert as I have only had my Hero a week and have come from winmo. But I have rooted my phone and installed a rom and it was dead easy.
1. Follow this video - http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/27/how-to-root-your-htc-hero-in-one-click/ where he says to unzip or extract the cm-hero-recovery.img file all he means is find it on your pc and just copy that file to the SDCard.
I would also recommend doing a backup after rooting your phone from that video. To do this turn ur phone off, then hold the home and power button together and that will get you into the recovery area, then just select the nandroid backup option.
2. I have used the Modaco rom and have had no problems at all with it, not sure if its better than the orange one though sorry.
3. When people talk about the radio file for the Hero they are talking about a file that enables the phone to recieve the mobile phone signal, it also enables the phone to recieve a wi fi signal etc. I even think it does GPS, basically these can be tweaked to get better reception, thus you can update them. I really hope that made sense lol and hope you get what i mean.
4. Oh and if you want to put a new ROM on ur phone then follow this video - http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/27/how-to-load-a-custom-rom-on-your-htc-hero/
If not just pm me lol.
brilliant - thank you.
is there a list of available ROM's for the hero anywhere and a list of what they do? ie benefits rather than a bunch of files names that have tweeked - they make no sence to me.
i dont know how you'd weigh one ROM up against another, to me it's like comparing chinese and japanese when you speak neither !
also is there an alternative marketplace, i know apple iphone has icy and cydia. i dont want warez just wondering if there's an alt. community as apple have out there (i'm thinking you guys are 'it' lol)
Don't think there is a list of ROM's as tbh the only good one around is the Modaco one. There is an Orange one out but I think people still rate the Modaco one as better, but I could be wrong in that. If you go for the Modaco one though you won't regret it.
As far as I know there is no other marketplace.
If you get into any problems in rooting and putting a ROM on ur Hero just pm me.
It was available on the G1. Don't remember if it was on the mt3g. Tmobile got rid of it. I can only access it through the web. And the phone doesn't support the website. Thanks in advance.
Wrong section. No, its no longer avaible. Tmo does not dye myfavs anymore. Only those who have had it kept it.

Sorry about the wrong location. I do have myfaves. You now have to sit at a real computer to access. Tmo no longer offers an app. I got left behind.
You just need to use your PC to change faves. Your faves still work just fine on your bill.
But, if you really want the app.. Give this a shot: http://androidcommunity.com/forums/f23/my-faves-for-g1-22397/
I seem to recall issues with compatibility during one of those upgrades ages ago, though - like around 1.6, so it may not work on 2.1.
I started a thread over in the app section, i attached the myfaves.apk, And I had that one working on CM 5.0.8 on my G1, and that is an elcair build. So Its compatible, only issue i had was they way to get it to work was commands that through terminal that dont work on the vibrant. So if someone with knowledge can help out it would be great.
Thread in other section so it in the right place so people will help us all out:

I was wondering if someone could help me with this question. I am considering buying one, but I want to know if you are able to install the navionics app? It didn't appear to be availabe on the flyer due to the resolution, but it is available on plenty of other HTC devices.
Any help would be greatly apreciated!

Not seeing it come up in the market when I search. Sorry dude.
Thanks. I guess I'll be waiting a bit. I have heard there is a way to download it and force an install, but it would be easier just going through the market.
this is the one reason that app store is still surpassing android market. All apps work on their devices. Isn't android 3.2 supposed to fix this?
Does anyone know if there is a way to see what is available in the android market for a specific device? I have quite a few apps I like on the iphone that is keeping me from making the jump over to android. I would love nothing better than to get away from IOS, but as for the apps I commonly use, I would like to ensure being able to keep them.

The Jetstream is running 3.1, not 3.2
Also, I just installed 3.2 on my Xoom today and still no Netflix, although that might be due to the CPU type.
Would someone mind looking in the travel category on the jetstream andriod market place? I have read it doesn't always turn up in the search. It is supposed to be able to work on any Android OS greater than 1.6 with an SD card, but is just not certified on anything but the Samsung Galaxy Tab (which is because that doesn't have an SD card).
Thanks again for the help. I am itching to buy this thing, but I hate to have to return it if it doesn't work.
Checked the travel section, no go.
I assume you're talking about apps like this one from Navionics? If so, it's not available for the Jetstream, possibly not tablets in general.
On the possibly bright side, there's another marine mapping app called Marine Charts HD that is available for the Jetstream.

It's not showing in the market... Hopefully the support it soon as it's on my mandatory app list.
Sidenote: Love the Jetstream so far, would def. recommend.
I got a canned response from Navionics customer service. They still say that it is supposed to work on any device with 1.6 or greater that has an SD card.
I think you can download it onto your computer, but this will be my first android device, and I am not sure how you install apps from a PC onto the android OS. If you can load it on the SD card and install it on the device, it might be available.
Also, when does 3.2 come out? And when does the Jetstream get that upgrade? Isn't that supposed to fix the problem with apps working on varying screen resolutions?
There is a navionics apk file that supposedly works on some tablets. I don't know if it works on honeycomb, but if anyone wants to try it, I'd love to know if it works. I guess you just google navionics apk, and install it. If it works it will let you download the charts.
Post a link to the apk, I will install and let you know the process / results.

I don't know if this is a good torent link, but it is the first one that came up when I googled it. I was going to download it myself, but I still don't have anything to use it on.
I just downloaded an apk for the east coast. It loads, looks great, but doesn't seem to be pulling gps location, which basically renders it useless. I'll reboot and try again later when outside.
Note: I own this already, so downloading the apk isn't poaching.
Great! Hopefully the kinks will be worked out. I will be purchasing it shortly, but still waiting on a commission to come in before I committ. If this ends up working though, I would be very happy indeed.
I get the impression that Navionics is waiting for Ice Cream Sandwhich, which would lower their development costs. It is supposed to be out October/November. I just hope the jetsteam gets the update and sense doesn't slow it down too much.
Tested it again outside after reboot and can confirm that the gps function is not working.
I'm sure they'll roll it out soon. None of the other chart apps come even close.
Just got an email from Navionics that they now support Honecomb. Anyone care to check if it is available in the android market from the jetstream?
Thanks for the help!

Just did a search and there are 8 seperate apps for different locations.
Its there, and working. Gps locked pretty much immediately.
Please excuse my noob questions.
I've done a bit of google searching and I've looked on here as well and can't seem to find what I'm looking for. So I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
I just ordered a new T-Mobile myTouch (this phone).
I'm looking for info on how to root/hack it. I'm not entirely new to doing this. I changed my HD2 from Windows to Android, so I've got my feet wet in this a little in the past.
Any info available for this phone? Any help would be great.
Thanks!
Have you tried SuperOneClick?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
probably the easiest, and probably most likely way to do this
I rooted my Xperia Play yesterday with it
I actually haven't tried anything yet. I won't have the phone for a few more days (ordered online).
Rooting isn't my only concern. I guess I worded my original post wrong. I would like the option of loading custom roms as well as rooted.
I also like the HTC programs (e-mail app, etc). As far as I know, I will need a Sense build to get all of that. This is the reason I would like to load a custom rom.
As far as SuperOneClick goes, I've tried to use it in the past on other phones. Its success is kind of hit or miss with me. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
I have done a lot of searching on this and everything i have found suggests this is not possible but those posts are dated I just want to be sure nothing has changed recently.
I like the stock feel of the i717 with the samsung mms app and the samsung calendar app, touchwiz, etc. There are no official samsung updates after 4.1.2, but is it possible to get the samsung apps/framework working on cm11/cm10.2/AOSP somehow? It doesn't appear that anyone is too interested in doing this, maybe because the level of difficulty, but I would just like to know if it's possible. Maybe port a rom from a newer samsung phone? If its possible but not been done yet, i'm willing to do the work if someone will just point me in the right direction. Thanks.
P.S. This is a Q&A help section and I have done proper research before asking my question. No insults about my lack of knowledge please. I'm not asking anyone to do work for me, I just want advice. Thanks.
i think the problem is that you're one of the few people who like the samsung apps. a lot of people root their phones or install custom ROMs to have the ability to remove those apps.
good luck, though.

I'm always a minority lol. And I don't like all of them, just a few. Mainly the messaging app, samsung keyboard, and the gallery. And touchwiz with landscape mod is nice too. I just like the feel of a touchwiz rom but with samsung's 18 month support policy, the i717 is left hung out to dry...I wonder how hard it would be to just back-port a i747 rom? Thanks for the reply
