Hi, this is my first post at this great forum..
Is it possible to have Android firmware 1.6 on the HTC Hero, without HTC Sense (essentially the 1.6 you would find on a G1)?
If so, can someone point me in the right direction to find out how to do this.
Much thanks - Sorry if there is already a thread like this, I searched but didn't find anything matching.
This question has been answered several times. Please use the search tool on the forum?
Could you please post a link to a thread answering my question.
As stated above, I used to search tool to no avail.
Thanks.
Edit: I have found it after a lot of searching.

For sure.

- This thread essentially asks the same question I am asking, it seems impossible for the moment other than disabling the sense home screen and some other random hacks to remove HTC applications.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=567672
- This thread is the development page for developing a clean 1.6 for Heroes.
Its pretty much impossible at the moment to maintain all functionality while removing the Sense interface which is a real shame. That is, unless I have missed something.
Hope this helps.

It is more that in order to get everything working (hardware wise), the kernel source is pretty much required and we don't have it (yet!).

Hey I was wondering if there any Devs out there who would mind helping me develop a rom based on assassins creed 2 the game. I had an idea. A red colored rom with the Animated custom boot screen and shut down screen. If anyone has ideas please let me know. I will be in the.process of making this tonight.
How exactly is this a ROM? What you're proprosing is simply a "theme," you don't have to make a ROM to change the boot screen and shut down. That doesn't fall under the definition of a ROM.
Interesting idea, though I haven't played the game in a while and don't remember what animation you're referring to. As the other poster politely mentioned, it wouldn't be a rom, but could probably be a fairly simple metamorph theme.
As for the animations, if they're part of videos from the game, there's a good chance they're stored as bink files somewhere so you could download the bink player and pull frames to use for the phone animations.

i think he meant theme... you should not be so condescending - especially as a sr. member.
ask clarifying questions rather than be snippy with a "definition"

You shouldn't assume anything based on a person's amount of post counts. The number of post counts doesn't change how a person thinks. I don't need to CLARIFY questions because I'm stating it since it is pretty obvious that it isn't a ROM.
@ajftl: You're just upset because I criticized on your thread about Angry Birds.

No. We need to be as condescending as possible to people that don't understand the difference between a 'rom' and a theme' and scare them out of the Developer's section. This topic does NOT belong here, and their topics don't belong here.

Then why does XDA has a successful forum and you dont?
my only point was that even if it is the wrong section - if someone can help, then be helpful if not, then don't.
we were all new once and if someone hadn't gone beyond the normal flame and redirect then we wouldn't be here contributing or helping.
just saying, we should help first then redirect and not be rude and condescending.
Yes OP this is the wrong section for development - True, OP what you are asking is not considered a rom.
i was a sr member once and before changing my handle and i used to try to help as much as i could regardless of whether the question was in the wrong place.

Thats all I ask
No you do not have to be as condesending as possible. I know the difference between a rom, and a theme. I making a rom, with a whloe new gui. The reason I wanted to make the rom instead of just the theme was to test the vibrants HD graphics. The type of gui I want to make can not just be apllied by a simple visual style change. I love this fourm and I have been here for the last 3 years. This fourm has taught me alot of the knowladge about phones and rom development I know today. Im sorry I dont post much or develop anything frankly, because I just dont have the time. Please dont ever assume that because someone doesnt elaborate what they mean that their "stupid" or dont know what their talking about. Anyway, as for the rom, I have made some progress. I was wondering if anyone could help me find a couple of boot animations I could put in my rom, I was thinking one that would show Ezio behind a target and then leaping in to the air with his hidden blade and stab the person in the neck, then the next screen show the assassins creed logo and ad assassins creed rom. I have already made my gui and used an custom kernal to OC my rom to 1.2 gigaherz. Battery life is still a very big problem. Anyone have any ideas ?
Hey dady says, I love your pictire bro, that sould be googles logo. Lol.
sounds awesome, hope it works out for ya! i wish i could help with boot anims but i dont know how to make them. good luck~

All I gotta say is good luck hacking those .qmg files. They are what hold and run the boot sequence, and they have yet to be cracked which means you can't replace them.
The thread was moved to Q&A.
@all,
Wouldn't it be simpler to just tell the OP that what he wants to do is theme a rom and not make an actual rom, instead of a 2 page bashing?

The OP was told this and he still wants to make a ROM.
OP, its going to be hard to get someone to help you on such a ROM, since most people probably have never played AC or are not big fans. Good luck.
Could someone explain to me why in Desire HD Rom on HD2 does not work the camera?
because the source for the phone hasnt been released by htc yet.
thanks for the quick response ... :-(
I hope will be resolved soon ... I love having a good android on my HD2!
i always wanted to know this also so like when would the release comes?
there's the same problem on other devices such as htc desire, no camera with desire hd rom too, no?

I'm normally not one to flame newbs but it HAS been explained ad nauseum and is easily found in ANY Desire HD rom thread within the first or second page. it doesn't even take a thorough search or drudging through a 50 plus page thread to find the answer to this question.
Mods - please close
Mods.
Please close - another thread that should not have been started wasting more bandwidth.
OP - Please take the time to search the forums first. Whilst XDA members are here to help it does get a bit frustrating when questions such as this are asked time and time again.

I really hate when a member who has alotta posts', always has something smart to say when a "newbie" asks a question. It's not necessary! While the post may be a waste of "space", the question is still relevant. Don't forget, "YOU" was once a newbie also!!! A simple answer could've ended this thread already. Many of us aren't as tech savvy as others, thats why forums like this was created. If it wasn't for "newbies" these forums wouldn't continue to exist. Show some respect to all, whether ur a "moderate" "senior member" or a "newbie". Thank you!
we had the same issue back in the G1 days when eclair was first ported. someone took the time to reverse engineer the camera driver to get it to work in eclair. either we get the source for it, or someone has to take good chunk of time to figure it out.

Just curious, is there some reason why a camera driver from another build won't work in the Desire HD ROM?
Ditto, I agree. Let's be accommodating and helpful.

Because its not a camera "App" issue. More of a driver issue.

What prevents the use of the camera driver from a working Android build? Is it not a ko module?
If it were that easy, dont you think darkstone would have just included in the first beta itself

No, people are not getting mad just because he asked a question. Its the fact that he did not do any research at all (Which is a huge rule on this site). The answer to this question has been answered in just about every Desire HD-2 thread. Also because this particular forum "HD2 Android Development" is not for Q&A. I've seen a thread about this exact question start like once a week, and it always gets moved.

Hello, i just have a galaxy ace phone. I must say i am a complete noob in terms of smartphones and android thing.
So, i have some nasty lag on my galaxy ace phone. I know the cpu isn't big only 800mhz, but that one can't handle android ?
If you know something to help me get rid of the lag problems, it will be very nice.
Here is my phone info:
Android version: 2.3.5
Baseband version: S5830XWKS2
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-perf-CL706042 [email protected] #1
Build number: GINGERBREAD.XWKR2
Hope it helps.
And i must say, i got the phone from Orange network, and i use Vodafone, and i went to some guys to "unlock" it to let me use the Vodafone network.
Thanks, i hope you can give me some advice, in getting rid of that stupid lag.
PS: And please get pass the stereotypes like, search the forum, or read posts. I don't have much time available to read all the forum and learning how to...
Root phone,flash cyanogenmod,overclock cpu,use chainfire 3D. Still cant get the performance you need? I guess,you should get another phone
The max. frequency my phone runs on is 480mhz, but lag is near zero though....you might want to root your phone and delete some bloatware...
---------- Post added at 10:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:17 PM ----------
wait! i re-read your last statement. It seems to be pretty contrary to what this post says. <forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2031989&postcount=45>
I don't want performance, just want to get rid of the phone menu lag.
I don't know anything about flash, root, and what you told me there, so it's useless to put some bunch of words just for purpose of posting. If you want to help me, in other matter, ok if you don't thanks, and bye !

frankly i'm pissed abit reading this.
its not stereotype, its the right thing to do.
no one gonna spoonfed bits by bits if u yourself dont bother to read. good luck getting somewhere with that attitude.
What a noob !! you should really take time to read forum rules and TUT's...it'll be for your own good.
Ok, so then what is the purpose of a forum, if you don't want to help me ? I really don't have your unlimited time available to start to read every thread and post in this phone section. At least give me something to read, about how to root the phone and flash the firmware, or whatever it's called, and to overclock the cpu.
And please stop with that childish and boring attitude with what a noob, you were a noob too, don't forget.It doesn't help me and you either.
I didn't created the account today to start a fight now, but you really don't know to handle a complete and absolute noob in terms of smartphones and android software, how wants to solve a simple issue - get rid of the phone lag menu.
Thanks !
really you think that people here have lost jobs and are just trolling here and there ??
i agree you can't read every thread but searching do not involve reading 100000 threads..
simple google can help you with that.. all were noob but not so agressive.. if you wan't some work to be done then give it proper time and if you can't then pay someone at shop to get work done
Thanks, i will try my own to solve the issue.
ok then.
this is a simplest u can do to eliminate the lags.
1. root the phone. read this thread, especially the "E" section.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1034145
2. install any tools that can freeze bloatware that always running in background like titanium backup and just freeze any unused app.
yea I was a noob, but I didn't pester other people with my questions. All that I needed to know to get out of the 'noob' club was already here, so searching and reading was all that was required.
btw, here's everything you'd need.

!! Chainfire3D is for 1ghz+ devices only !!

Or do you mean overclock to 1ghz ( if that is possible ) and then install Chainfire3D?

Hello,
i want to flash my Samsung device. It says at boot Samsung Galaxy S3 l9300 so i guess its an international with no branding.
But i am not sure and i wont do anything wrong. As far i could check for myself rooting+flashing is pretty easy i just want to make sure everything is good to go.
So please tell me how to check and thing.
Secondly, i dont ask you for the best rom/kernel but i ask you for some Roms with less preinstalled as possible but as much installed as needed.
e.g. its very subjectiv whats needed and what not so
i wont use google maps, video hub, mp3 hub and those social/sharing/web application.
The main goal why i want to flash my sgs3 is to maximize the battery as much as possible.
what i use daily:
Phone / E-mail / sms/mms / messenger / social networks (such as facebook, twitter but right now only fb) / Calendar / Contact / Weather / Alarm / Camera / file explorer / mp3 / cloudservice (such as dropbox) and but not so often this time but maybe more often in the future / news apps /
thats it. I really dont want to have all those ebooks/videohub/mp3/hub/flipboard and whatsoever. There are toooo much custom application i never would touch and some of them cant be deinstalled either.
Setting up the sgs3 with samsung and googlemail account should work properly...
Also i am not sure if i need the gmail application preinstalled. I want to use k-9 mail and i never touch gmail but i cant deinstall it.
I am unfortunately newb to it and i cant customize it myself that much but i am willing to install a less bloated Rom
Those are the two question:
What SGS3 do i have
What Rom could you suggest for as much as possible battery improvement/less consumption but still nice to have (i wont have an text base sgs3 like we know from linux itself not sure if that is even possible but i guess so xD)
Thank you for the time
regards

Please use google next time you have a question.
Anyway, doesn't "Modellnummer" tell you something?
If you are looking for a ROM less bloated browse through the forum and look for one yourself and see which one fits you better.

Re: [Q] from Newb | What SGS3 do i have and
Ok, I'm going to be gentle on you......
Firstly, any help you get will be from people like me, ordinary users that have taken time to learn and then share knowledge.
The forum operates in various principals.
One of the fundamentals is that people read, read, read and learn...
Further to that using either Google or the forum search facility should preceed any posting of questions, as they have almost certainly been asked before.
Questions asking advice about Roms are nearly always considered as best Rom threads, which aren't allowed. The reasons for this are that every users needs are individual and also, from a developers point of view, it is no fun having your Rom compared to other people's Roms.
Just as an additional note, no one earns money from what they do here, it is just people sharing work they have done (in the same spirit as the principal of "open source"
So reread my first post to you, and follow the steps I advised, and you will become a good XDA user, as opposed to a bad one!

Read the rom descriptions yourself otherwise it is a what rom best rom post .
You are better to understand the basics before flashing or you may brick your phone .
