HTC Hero on Sprint - General Questions and Answers

I am a little confused about asking questions concerning the HTC Hero on Sprint in part because there are so many different versions of it and also because there is nowhere to post for the phone period. My question concerns rooting the device that I plan on buying today and whether or not that is a smart move considering all the talk about updates to 2.0. If I root the device will the same firmware be available through this site or will I be stuck with 1.5? Either way there is also many guides to rooting and I am wondering if anyone has suggestions perhaps the best one? thank you for your time

Welcome aboard
This is the section for your CDMA Hero:

Titan Section Please

The HTC Titan (PPC6800) is out in Canada already on the carrier Telus and soon will be with Sprint and other carriers in the United States. As some may know, over at ppcgeeks, we have made great strides with the 3.x roms that Helmi_c and others from this forum have been gracious enough to help us with. Aside from getting WM6 on the Apache (6700), which any help there is greatly appreciated, we are starting to move to the Titan.
Unfortunately, the Titan is causing us some issues as far as even getting a rom dump off of it. As you would suspect GrabIt and mtty do not work. We have had some progress using pdocread.exe, but it will not verify the partition sizes or dump the partitions. We are also trying to figure out if we are going to have to start dealing with the SPL and CID. Both of these are pretty foreign to us since we have never had to deal with them before.
Anyway, my point is that it would be nice to get a section for the Titan set up so that we may start development on that device. As always, the knowledge of the members of this forum is greatly appreciated and hopefully those that are willing to help can get us going in the right direction.
Thanks.
i may not know what to do but i do want to see a new device her and also because i will be switching to sprint and getting the titan
Yeah. It would be nice to get some more interaction between here and ppcgeeks.com. Not to steal members away from either site, but xda is more GSM and geeks is more CDMA.

I agree as well, I will be switching from fido to telus and therefore switching from a softbank x01ht TyTN to a telus htc p4000 TITAN. It would be great to have a separate forum and wiki section for the TITAN.
Although i do not have much experience with xda development, i have been taking apart and putting together computers and working with software since i was in grade 5. I can learn software langauges and i would like to contribute to development of the TITAN rom repertoire.
Also having a separate area to discuss possible roms, accessories like cases, and other such topics would be great instead of trying to post it or having to dig through the TyTN forums.

Any help on verizon htc pro?

I have been a hardcore samsung nut for years, But just picked up a HTC Pro from Verizon. I read about thirty articles on slow performance, and was wondering if any of you hardcore ROM people had come up with a faster more stable ROM for the Verizon Pro? ANy input would be appreciated, Thanks
Welcome to forums
Please have a deep read here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=440
There are many ROMĀ“s, there is not "best" one, try several till you get the one fits better for your needs. Read the comments from other users.
Good luck,
Thanks....But I thought there would be some
difference in ROMS for CDMA and GSM, like I said kinda new to HTC but thanks for info
I did not have the chance to know that your cell provider is cdma...
Here is the link for cdma devices

I just searched and foun it!

I'm confused...Help with my Fuze?

Hello, i apologize if these have already been asked but i searched and couldn't find an answer so i figured might as well post eh? I'm getting a Fuze within the next few days and had a few questions. How do you know if your phone has been Hard SPL? If you do it twice can it brick your phone? What is the best rom with sense 2.5. Defining best as fast, stable, etc. Are their any useful tips that i could use or should know that are essential? I've never had an HTC device before and this is a learning experience for me. Thanks for your help in advance!
Get phone into bootloader and you will see SPL\HSPL instructions how to in the Flashing your First GSM Raphael Rom (For Noobs) bear in mind this is for GSM if you have CDMA "no sim"
Take a good read of the stickys and the wiki is a valuable sauce of information.
Good luck and have fun
Alright, thanks for that info. Where can i find tweaks for screen sensativity and speed?

Htc maple (s522) dual boot android???

hello, new to the boards here, just managed to successfully flash a WIND Mobile HTC Maple to custom ROM, was wondering if there is currently any way to dual boot or install android onto this HTC Maple device?
Have searched the boards but still remain confused about whether or not this is possible. Online tutorials seem to specify this capability on Diamond, Exaclibur, etc, but nothing solidifying a working or available procedure for the HTC MAPLE. Any information to point in the right direction would be appreciated.
Thanks
Please search next time, it was on top of the DEV section
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=712890
Try to contact via PM the devs in the excalibur forums http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=560495 and see if they still pulling this project . Maybe they can give you some tips /advice from where to start .
alright just like to extend my gratitude for having reopened the thread.
and state if need be to have the thread moved please by all means.
the issue im having here is trying to dual boot ANDROID ON AN HTC MAPLE.
the confusing part of this procedure is ive looked everywhere for a suitable distribution specifically designed for the MAPLE but have had no luck.
even looking into WING-LINUX there seems to be no specific file for use with the HTC MAPLE. Exaclibur, vogue, diamond, hd2 i believe were the listed devices among others. but nothing referencing use with the maple. i can not seem to find any alternative methods to accomplish this, and my maple has already been flashed to a cooked rom and unlocked.
any tips leading in the right direction here would be much appreciated
thanks yet again for everyones time

You need to port wing linux to the mapple to do that, you will need a lot Development work to check compatibility and other things. I'm not quite familiar with this...that's why I redirect you to the devs in the excalibur, who are the ones closest to make more funtional this version. Also if you check the site on the chef central forums you can search there and get some "tips" of how you can do it though.
I hope that helps,
Ps I will keep this thread here for a while to see if there's someone who wants to adventure and start this project for the Maple.
Developments?
I'm curious if any developments have emerged for the HTC Maple? I've been playing around with a few other projects but I'd like to see if anyone here has gotten Excalibur working. I checked HTC-Linux.org but not much in terms of providing resources or files.
I'm eager to help get Android on the Maple. it will be a lifesaver for battery life and app development. Any contacts or resources are greatly appreciated.

[Q] Help Choosing Rom To Flash

I am new to this forum and apologize for my noobness in advance as i wasn't sure either to post this here or in the Android Software and Hacking General section and i appreciate any comments as i understand i am new here and have contributed nothing to this forum. Here is my dilemma, i recently purchased a t mobile g1 from a friend about two weeks ago because i was interested in the android OS. Being in the UK it is locked to the T-mobile network which my existing sim is orange. I understand that there was a developers ROM that was released (codenamed holiday (adp 1.1)) which allows other networks to be used on the g1 e.g orange etc as its a developer version. I was wondering what compatible ROMS for the g1 (htc dream) that would allow me to use my orange sim. Again i really do appreciate nay comments and help i receive and understand i have not contributed to this community and it is highly rude to ask for something when given nothing.
You're gonna get a LOT better answers if you ask around in the G1 forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=446
I haven't used the G1 for quite some time, so I can't help you that much, but the guys in the forum (plus the handy search button) should take care of anything you need to know.
