DONUT available - need to update NOW? - Hero, G2 Touch Android Development

Hello devs,
I have red that Donut has been released.
HTC has released its update. I have already updated my Hero. Because there is no Java, I want to install Modaco's ROM.
My question is: can I expect a donut-release in a short time?
If so, then I will wait updating to Modaco, because of losing all data.

if you are just missing the java implementation i would recommend you this Thread or rather the way that worked for me Link

What update are you talking about from HTC? build 2.73.405.5 is still 1.5 (cupcake). I'm a little confused.

The sdk for donut has been released. Sure that the firmware is on course for its October release.

This is what confuses me. He says he already updated his Hero. The SDK is released, not the firmware..correct?

yes thats correct

He's just saying he installed the official HTC update that MoDaCo leaked a few weeks ago. Now he wants to go MoDaCo (perhaps because it's prerooted, installs apps on the sd and so on). He is just wondering whether it's a good idea, if 1.6 is released very soon.
No, 1.6 will not be released very soon (at least not as a HTC Hero Rom), so go ahead and flash with MoDaCo, if you feel you need it. Your phone won't get much faster than with the official update, but at least you'll have something to play around with.

just a quick question, i have MoDaCo rom installed on my hero and if i download the HTC official update would i lose root? and will android 1.6 can be download as a custom rom?

by the way:
what does leaked mean in this context? is it really some kind of "ripped" or how do we have to understand this?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'd assume someone working for HTC or testing the ROM put the files online.

That would be the definition of leaked, yes, which is probably how we got this ROM pre official release.

Sorry if this sounds very noobish, but how do you install apps to the SD card? I installed a couple of apps after moving to Modaco's Rom, but I do not know how to install them to the SD card instead of the phone's memory. Are they by default installed on the SD card with Modaco's Rom?
Thanks in advance for the clarification.

Dont really want to help you hijack this thread away from the intended purpose, but if you were specifically asking about modaco's rom, next time it might be wise to read or "SEARCH" his thread keywords so that you can find your answer. Indeed there are a few answers in that thread that help you to find out if your apps are installing to SD.
But to answer your question, if your card is partitioned (Fat32,swap,ext3) then your apps will be installed to your sd card by default from Modaco's rom.

Thank you and my apology if I've drifted from the thread subject. Next time, do not answer me if I'm drifting and I'll know where to look somewhere else.

Thanks for your info.

Can I get stock Froyo rom on Telus Desire ?
I have already rooted 2.1 that's on it, if that makes a difference.
I have no interest in running a custom rom since the stock (2.2) one has everything I need...
I'm also wondering the same thing actually.
I've been looking into upgrading to this ROM, since it's claimed to be 'stock':
[ROM] Rooted Official HTC Android 2.2 (FroYo) ROM [Market issue fixed]
It won't let me post a link, but its in the Desire Android Development page

I answered my own question.
Modaco (where I'm also premium) has more information on the subject... I rooted a week or so ago and modaco has the stock Froyo with radio and already rooted rom.
So I just downloaded that and applied update, I didn't even wipe before since I didn't want to lose my data.
Anyways problem solved.
also just picked up the desire , on rogers and was hoping to upgrade to 2.2, I had the hero before and it was a little more clear cut back then, but Im not sure to wait for official or just root and get stuff started,
NEed HELP

HTC Sense on TP2 Android ?

Hello Everyone,
First, sorry for my english cause i'm french
I've got a simple question: is it possible to have HTC sense (as on the desire) with Android (XDAndroid 2.2 Froyo FRX01 Final 2.2)
Thank's
The sense builds were abandoned, they were an atrocity to use.
But, they can be found on Reef's web page... I don't think they've had any work done on them recently - you can certainly upgrade the zImage/modules, rootfs etc but the system image won't be up-to-date...

I have installed "ProjectAndroid2.1Sense.061610" on my tp2. I then copied "zImage", "startup.txt" and "Modules-2.6.27.46-01149..." from the 30/08/10 release into my "ProjectAndroid2.1Sense.061610" "andboot" folder, having deleted the original "zImage", "startup.txt" and "Modules-2.6.27.46-01149..." files from "andboot".
In the end I have sense 2.1 running, with wifi, radio (network) and sound of course. The "startup.txt" from the 30/08/10 release has overclock, so it is not too bad for speed.
So, in a way, yes you can.
CREDITS: To someone somewhere on the forum who gave these tips, can't remember who.
Only the 'blazn' builds have an overclock statement in the startup.txt...
ive wonder the the samething know i know thanx

This project was abandoned for this device but not for the other phones ie. topaz, hd,etc..If you want to update your system image, just replace the old one with the new one that you will find all the updates on here

i got a simple answer.. find me a 2.2 froyo with sense that was made for a msm7k device and ill make it happen. So far Hero, Eris and Legend dont seem to have a 2.2 with sense so we cant modify it to run on the tp2.
The desire, incredible and other qsd devices have different libs we cant run those. So we must have one of the devices above (msm7k) for this to happen.
We could always try to use 2.1 libs but thats just barbarism and asking for a really unstable system.

sorry guys.. looks like the version that is out is some chinese release. Not even the Legend guys can get it working so its going to be harder for us. I'll wait till the official 2.2 is out for the wildpoop
I have got myself sense & froyo builds. Now I want sense with froyo improvements like speed wifi etc..can anyone suggest me how to do that?
?? where did you get a sense + froyo build that would run on the tp2?
Has'nt HTC Wildfire got it's official Froyo 2.2 update? If not can't we use one build from the HTC Wildfire froums?

I'm not sure about the T-Mobile version of the ROM (not sure of any customizations they included), but you can download stock ROM's from the link below:
http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Ace
Obviously the best way would be to restore a ClockwordMod Backup of your original configuration, but I'm guessing such a backup was never done?
Just out of curiosity, why do you wish to return to a stock ROM?
Hope this helps

Here's a question. I'm a proud owner of a GT-i9000 SGSI and my sister has a HTC Desire HD.
She's recently been complaining about various issues with the phone itself. I haven't had a look at it yet but I'd like to know what the most current stable stock ROM is and how to install/flash.
That link that ashleyayling has supplied takes you to a page full of ROMs for something called ACE? Is that Galaxy Ace or is that a build version or something?
I've tried searching and ROM shows up plenty of times but nothing regarding stock ROMs. TBH, I haven't looked through all 39 pages of the search but I thought maybe someone will be able to help me?
To summarise:
1. Latest (stable) stock ROM
2. How to install/flash
Many thanks.

1. The link provided above is a full list of stock roms in RUU format. Ace was the codename for the Desire HD, so anything referring to Ace is usually the DHD
2. have a look in the development section, there's heaps of threads to help you out with this one, I don't think it would be an easy straightforward answer for someone to give you here (that's why there's whole threads dedicated to it)
Not to barge in on someone else needing help (Noob to the forums) but wondered if you can point me in the right direction! Desperately in need of help as I just killed My Rooted then OTA updated (killing the root) DHD. I was trying to root it again using the Ace Hack Tool and it's now stuck at the T-Mobile loading screen! I'm stumped as to what to do as no matter what I put on the SD it won't update it to work. And can't update via USB as it won't go into the OS. It does flash up quickly some writing while going into the bootloader but all I can make out is Image not Found... Please help! ATM its an expensive paperweight!
Sorry, I looked at the link given and there are loads of .exe downloads.
Can someone please say which one is the latest Stock RUU, I am selling my phone tomorrow and need to put it back to stock, if someone can just say which one I need to download.
Im guessing I just install it like I do with any custom rom through clockword mod.
Will I have root after the stock RUU has been installed? I dont think it matters if it is rooted or not so i'm not bothered too much about that, but i'm not sure they'll be happy if its on ICS MIUI which isn't 100% stable

Guide to GB ROMS?

Hello all,
I like many others, I have installed the new GB ROM from the RUU supplied by HTC and it is "OK". However, i would like something else.
I have seen many guide to install ROMS and it seems more or less clear.
My problem, and maybe the problem for other noobs if the fact that there are so many ROMs out there. It is difficult to know which one to take.
For example, I am looking for plain old stock android 2.3 for the desire. No sense, no extra HTC apps. Just what google would have on the nexus 1. But, I cant figure out which ROM fits that.
Any ideas?
What would be great is sticky which lists the ROMs and their main features for all us noobs. Unless there is one already and I didnt see it
Get Oxygen Rom mate its nice and basic , if u want to go too basic get DevNull
But for starters i think u shud go with oxygen
Pm me if u want to discuss any other details

Well, if you installed official Gingerbread 3.14.405.1 RUU, you can't get root (yet). No root means that you can't install custom rom.

watch the video tutorial too - but it sounds like you want an AOSP rom
Yup, you definitely wanna try Oxygen + it was recently updated to Android 2.3.5.
It's sense free, all bloatware removed, very fast & minimalistic.
http://forum.oxygen.im/viewtopic.php?id=149 (it wasn't updated on XDA yet, but you can download it from there)
CyanogenMod7 will also fit you.
Should have read into what you were doing before you updated. You can't root now, which means no custom ROMs for you. HTC updated HBOOT so no more rooting for the time being. You're stuck with it till someone cracks it. Unlucky dude.
My recommendation:
Sense (2.1+3.0) : InsertCoin 1.0.9
AOSP: Oxygen
no MIUI from me...sorry..
Thanks for all the replies. I am pretty sure it is only a matter of days or weeks at most until I can root. I recall the same situation last update.
It sounds like oxygen is the way to go. Once the root is available I will give it a shot. Thanks.

[Q] wheres the official ics build?

I've been unable to locate the OFFICIAL version of ics for the a100. I cant receive the ota because I have the leaked rom already. Well I've got flex so that should sum it up. Reverting back to HC was a failure and only led me to bricking my device. Long story short I'm using teamwin's recovery and I am fully rooted. Just looking for the official ota and not the leaked ics...
Is there such thing?
I have been reading dozens of posts here, and accoding to it I think there is no oficial ICS because what they're pushing is and update/upgrade, not a full ROM.
So, if you want to do it manually, try a newer leaked one, or a stock one. I don´t know which one will work for you since I´m in the process to try one after another myself. At the moment, I gave up of trying GEN2 and switched to GEN1.

um...that isn't exactly factual AT ALL...
The STOCK ROM posted in the devs section is the OTA that was delivered to some tablets earlier last week. Both build numbers and image numbers have matched up. Now i'm not sure what would make this a "complete" rom to you...but a couple of things are missing from the ACER ICS that some were looking for:
ie...facelock...acer ring (which isn't even ics related per se)...
The rom that everyone is using is THE STOCK rom....not a LEAKED INCOMPLETE rom...
Well I wanted the updated rom.. was hoping someone mined it from their device with everything already on it. I'll continue to wait I suppose. Flex rom is beautiful and would probably switch back right after anyways...since I got you guys here..know of any other custom roms?

.... Read Cheeb's response again. The version posted in the developer's section (and if you search for longer than a few minutes in the dev section, you can find multiple locations to download it from) IS the updated version, that came from people's tablets.
If you wanted an actual image to flash using fastboot, etc... I guess you could build yourself one. *shrug*

If I´m wrong, why every ROM I downloaded and/or captured from my OTA´s is different? Aren´t they giving us differential upgrades?
The only ROM we can so call official would be a full ROM.
