Hi everyone,
just picked up my HTC Droid Eris.
Made the switch from my 3G iPhone.
So happy I did too!
Looking forward to being a part of the forum.
If anyone could reply w/ the link to the Eris forum section that would be much appreciated.
I cant figure out which name it falls under

The codename is the HTC Desire according to pdadb.net, but there doesn't appear to be a forum for it on XDA. Just give the moderators some time to suggest the addition of the forum and the admins will get around to it eventually (assuming it's not just a minor variation of another device, like the Imagio is a varation of the Diamond2). Hope that helps

I've also been hearing from places like Engadget, and BGR, that its essentially just a re-cased Hero.
I'll just crawl around and see what I find
Thanks

Welcome to forums
You made a great move!
Read, Search, Respect and Enjoy!

Welcome to htc xda, read, have fun and happy flashing!

I'll third that -- welcome, and congrats on your choice of the move to a "real" phone
Hopefully someone will bid on your iPhone -- I never had much use for it, and to this day love how store-based AT&T hounds (aka employees) will fall all over themselves to sell someone an iPhone, but practically yawn when someone passes the massive iPhone display to play with WinMo devices... geez... it must be the commission, huh?
Again, welcome & enjoy!

Glad you moved away from that Junk worth iPhone !
Welcome to XDA !
Flash Flash Flash !
Enjoy !
But be careful !
Read and follow inststructions very well !

welcome to this forum
enjoy.....what ever phone you have and use

Welcome!

Yeah, The HTC Droid Eris is just a CDMA Hero with in a new case.

I'm going to get flak for this: rant about the current state of TBolt and XDA

I've written a blog post about my thoughts about Thunderbolt development and XDA forums. It's somewhat inflammatory, but I offer a few suggestions on how things can be better.
Full disclosure: I'm a sysadmin and an OSS developer. I haven't contributed to Android development but I do contribute in several OSS projects.

I personally like Xda and the community it has. The devs put in alot of hard work for free to the rest of us.

I do too - however, it can be made better for aspiring developers. My perception is that if you want to contribute code to these ROM projects, it's nearly impossible to get started, ignoring everything that anyone would have to learn about the Linux kernel and Android SDK.

No flames from me. While I like xda, all your points are valid and if anything you ignored some of the worst parts...e.g. Flaming, lack of respect, and other things that I see more often than I'd like when they aren't really warrented.
That said, ive seen much worse on other foss mailing lists, but at least in those cases its about code, not people.

So you want ROM threads to have a few posts only by the developer and have developers respond to emails to help users? Some developers enjoy helping others hence why they distribute their work for free and spend the time to make posts. The other questions are answered by other members who know how to resolve issues to a point. The fact you use that as a reason this site "sucks" is simply ridiculous. But that's just my opinion just like you gave your opinion.
I do agree with the CM7 issue to an extent. It shouldn't be on one man who has a job and a big family. Others should be helping and the code for everything should be available for others in the community to help get it finished and ready for final release. But with that said he is doing quite a lot and for one man he has done quite well IMO.

Seriously?
You try to start an intentional flame war with a hot topic that's been beaten like a dead horse and then write a blog post (presumably on your own blog because I'm not giving you traffic by clicking on it) so you can get free traffic by link baiting and most likely free ad revenue from it. Pathetic.

Archive Dead/Unsupported/Discontinued ROM

I think it's time for mods/admin to look out old rom like i said in above title, archive it, so that everything sorted again.
Forumers can start list out any known roms that have been discontinued/dead/unsupported.
PM any dev, ask for their developing status is a good start.

What are you talking about?
Each ROM thread in Development has a last released/updated date in the title and the threads are ordered by activity so its very easy to see which are current.
The INDEX thread orders all ROMs by date so its clear?
If you think this forum is messy don't consider getting a device like HOX or GSS3

So true...

yeah, I was so unclear. I dont realize that from this page to this page are all updated and undead.
So sorry.

I think the general point is that if a ROM is 'dead' then it won't get any more posts and will naturally drop backwards. Why go to the effort of archiving them, which then leads to more effort required if somebody does want to use those ROMs?
You just went from page 2 back. That includes many, very current, articles;-
TouchRecovery
TWP
Reaper
GPS Tweaks
Eng HBOOT
Do I really need to go on?

one page back, nothing much outdated. but others? nevermind. Im just trying to sort out outdated, unsupported, maybe non stable/testing rom/etc.
for example, in this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1639065 . you replied to that thread also.
new comers didn't see this as something I call, in align or sorted out. That's why that guy open up that thread.
and well, forget about this, maybe the seniors influence are higher and what others think for someone like me, meh, im just trying to be like some kind of wanna be mods or wanna be the good guy greg. bleh.

I do appreciate what your saying, but the system that is in place exists across all forums on xda and it exists because it works.
Old threads that are possibly dead still contain valid posts, fixes and even active links which will be picked up if people were ever to use the search function so should always be left.

I'm not sure that sorting out these ROMs is your job. Or mine. Or, really, anybody else's.
What would be useful would be if genuinely dead ROMs had their title modified to reflect the fact and maybe the links from the OP removed, but that is the sort of thing that should, realistically, be down the the thread creator, not to another person - who is to judge when a ROM is dead?
I work in the EPoS (Electronic Point of Sale) business, and we have an application for wireless order-taking on Android. Unfortunately at the moment (and for the foreseeable future) it is only officially supported on v2.x (no support for v3 or v4). That's just a single example, but here are also many people out there who don't want to run a buggy version of ICS with the wrong kernel - for them the older GB stuff is essential (and they won't all choose to run Reaper or Endy either).
If that sort if stuff was to be archived, we would probably just get even more of the pointless threads than we already do.

well then, forget about this thread.
my bad.

[Project] Ready2root, How to root any Android phone

Hi everyone,
I just wanted to present you my latest project:
Ready2root

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Basically it's a webpage where I have reunited all the root methods for nearly all the actual android devices. I am currently the chief editor of El androide Libre, an spanish android blog, and I've been dealing with a lot of people who don't know how to root their devices. After repeating the same advices and giving the same links over and over again, I decided to create this little project with my developer friend, Roger Gros.
Since it's launch, we've added a lot of features:
Search Box
Report problems
Send devices requests
Vote system
Tutorials
Translations to French and Dutch in progress
Mobile version on the way
Of course we have a long way to go. We have to add a lot more of devices, add more translations and a lot more of things. I have posted this here with two main pourposes:
To let it be a little more popular
To receive a lot of feedback
So here we are people. Give me any kind of feedback, any help is welcomed.
I hope you like it

I think it'd be better if you linked to some up-to-date tutorials for the HTC phones.
I don't know if you're aware that HTC Dev released tools to unlock your bootloader, which means you can install CMR on your phone, which means you can install ROMs and root and whatnot, without having to deal with goldcards.
Just a suggestion!

If you tell me where to find this tutorials I'll be glad to do it. And yes, I'am aware of that also! Thanks for the suggestions!

this is a great idea and a great execution of it!

Just came across this thread. This a magnificent idea! Any update to the status of the site? I'd be interested in becoming a contributor to help maintain the site and ensure information quality!

HTC ONE | S-OFF Developement | SunBurn

Sunshine seemingly monopolized the s off game with outrageous prices. Let's just say I nearly lost my lifeline over this nonsense and have a hard on drive to annihilate the enemy efforts.

If people ever wondered what those abundant permissions included in sunshine were for, it is in fact to intentionally brick your phone, track your IP address, reset your device and change your wallpaper to a whole lot of balony saying how hard they worked to make hacking responsible and costly and that they will not hesitate to take your only lifeline while you sit there and accept the fate that you will have to spend your pizza money on them and starve for a week under a bridge while people look at you in awe because they've never seen a homeless, beerless, computer geek.
Back to my point.
I have a rooted HTC One m9. I am getting into development. Can people help me with understanding what all the s-on feature restricts besides the band partition and any info we can dig up on that and maybe some on the reverse engineering on how HTC implements this feature? Links, source code, feedback, relative topics, suggestions, and furthermore questions are encouraged. Let's start hacking.
My devices are an HTC One m9 and an HP zbook 15 running Zorin (Linux) OS.
What can we do.
Let's bring hacking back.
Let's be a team of developers in one thread.

Lol, sounds like my days in Alaska. xD.
The network band & the aboot partition bud.

My HTC got smashed so this is my reason for taking so long to update. I need to get it fixed.
