Help! Hero ROM on magic issue

Hi everyone, I need help!
I bought a new HTC magic from ebay, all the guy did was open it and add the hero ROM, but it is running really slowly.
I tried to use the overclocking widget but it didn't work as it says it needs a rooted phone.
How can the phone have the hero rom n it without being rooted?!
Also, how can I now increase the speed etc and stop it reloading the homepage everytime I press home (30 seconds odd!).
It's a Google branded Vodafone.

Welcome to forums
Perhaps try to disable some of the today UI´s
or reinstall another ROM
Have a deep read in the Wiki:

Hope it helped and good luck,

Thanks Orb.
Sorry but i'm a complete noob!
Do you know why it appears its not rooted even though its using the hero rom?!
Just looking at the system info it says...
Model number: HTC Hero
Firmware version: 1.5
Baseband version: 62.50s.20.17h_2.22.19.261
Kernal version: [email protected] )
Build number: 1.76.405.6 146733 cl#47214 release-keys
Software version: 1.0.0.a6288

Ok, I've managed to install the drivers for vista but I still can't access the phone through the pc (not even the windows mobile program), any ideas?
Also, my phone IS rooted.
When I download a ROM, the wiki guide says run the .exe but they don't have executable files!
Confused!

[Question]

Hello there,
Like you can see this is my first post, so I start with saying I am happy to find this place and to be here.
Just a little while now, I am a proud owner of a HTC Desire aka HTC Bravo.
Now i am a little into programming with languages like java c c++ c# and some other strange ones.
So you can feel where I'm going to maby... I wanna start of developing my own APP on my HTC Desire.
Now I have a strange feeling that it's different to develop for a Nexus One as for a HTC Desire, like maby the way drivers are installed etc.
So can anyone point me in the right direction to start off?
Thanks in advanced! DesireDroid

I found this article very informative: http://www.vogella.de/articles/Android/article.html
And you develop an app for Android, not for a specific phone.

Thnxs for your reply petz, I'm going to study that page carefully
I understand that you dev for Android, but there are allot of stories about apps only working on 1.5 or 1.6 , 2.1 etc.
Also the point to use the HTC Desire as a developers phone. Are there differences between developing (connecting the htc desire to the pc, and test your self made apps on it, so you need propper drivers etc... or are these the same as from the htc sync.exe ?) on the HTC Desire and a Nexus One for example?

I've only begun developing apps yesterday
As I understand it, you only use the functions provided by the Android SDK, so you don't need to use specific drivers. One app should work on every phone, as long as the phone has the appropriate functions (GPS, Wifi...). You can develop an app for a specific version of Android (1.5, 1.6, 2.1,...) If you use 2.1, older versions of Android won't be able to use the app.

[Q] Confused noob seeks enlightenment

Hi there,
I have a Motorola Defy on Vodafone UK, that has just had the Vodafone Froyo update. I have tried to find an answer to my question, but no joy.
I would like to get rid of the Vodafone software and use the UK retail version, as then my phone would work as advertised. Unfortunately I get confused by all the different software identifiers on my phone, and wondered if someone would be kind enough to explain what bits could/should be updated.
When I look at Settings/About Phone I see the following
System Version: Details removed to allow posting
Firmware version: 2.2.2
Baseband Version: EPU93_U_00.59.02
Kernel Version: Details removed to allow posting
BPflex version: UCAJRDNEMARAB1B80AA03A.0R
APflex version: GAS_EMEA_USAJRDNFRYOVFGB_P021
I had to remove the software file identifiers to be able to post this, but the phone has just had the latest Vodafone Froyo update applied. Hopefully someone will still be able to help by explaining what the titles mean.
I have successfully rooted my phone with SuperOneClick, but am just trying to get a bit more more understanding before I do anything stupid. I quite like the idea of CM7, but think that may be a bit advanced for me, so will perhaps stick with the UK retail Motorola Froyo once I am sure I know what I'm doing.
Thanks

As you have rooted it yet you could delete app with titanium backup from the market.
I can say i have installed custom roms on my defy a few days after i got it, just follow the faq and how to post and you won't damage anything.
Btw, if something goes wrong you'll find help on this forum anyway...

CyanogenMod 7.2 HTC WildFire S Keyboard Repeating Letters Intermittently

Hello everybody! I'm new to this forum. I hope I've posted in the right place.
I've been using CyanogenMod 7.2 (2.3.7) (Unofficial - CyanogenMod-7-20120717-UNOFFICIAL-marvel) for a couple of days now and I must say that it's pretty darn stable, only receiving a few minor bugs and forced crashes (probably caused by me because I went to town with the settings). But after using the mod, I've come across a really annoying bug that seems to have been around since Android 2.3.2 came into existence.
It's to do with the keyboard. Intermittently when typing, the keyboard would often repeat the first letter (or two) or the last letter, even between words. For example, if you were to type the word good at average typing speed, often it would turn out as "ggame" or "gagame".
What I have tried:
-Reflashing the ROM
-Trying an alternate Android Gingerbread keyboard
-Restarting the device
-Factory reset from CyanogenMod
All of the above does not fix my problem. I've searched everywhere to find a fix for this problem or a possible workaround (without switching to another keyboard) and have had no success. I'm wondering if people here can help me out. Is this a problem with all CyanogenMod 7 devices or did something go wrong with the port by alquez? I've used CyanogenMod 9 on my device and that problem doesn't occur with its keyboard which leads me to believe that this is a CyanogenMod 7 problem.
For any help offered, I'll appreciate it greatly. I will be able to provide any information requied. Thanks a lot!

Mod version: CyanogenMod-7-20120717-UNOFFICIAL-marvel

Never mind! The problem can be resolved by turning off "touch to correct" within the keyboard settings. I'll leave this post up for those who need to see it that experience the same issue.

Help with Android version/problem update on "HTC Test" one m8 please

Hi all,
Please forgive any noob errors!
So, i've enjoyed my HTC One m8 for a few years.
I admit i got it eBay (fleaBay!!) from what turns out to be a tester. Hence the "test phone/device" status.
Unbeknown to me, this would appear to have meant that my Android OS has not been updating at all over my ownership.
Not a huge problem until i developed exactly this problem:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/general/white-dot-mouse-pointer-m8-t3524318
and set about looking into fixing things,

I dont know if being able to update Android would help with above problem, but im sure it'd be a good start.
Installed was
HTC SSD Test Tool App, Ver 5.2.14.6 - anything i can do with this?!
PVS Info App, Ver 2.3
RxD Test QMI App, Ver 1.12
Any advice as to how i can solve either or both of the issues of the white dot/cursor issue - tried all suggested int he other thread, and Android update unlocking would be gratefully received!
Cheers
Dave

The GPS issue and Google Maps problem seems to be a common issue with our device. I experienced it on lineage os and fixed it by flashing the rom linked below. Also, it appears that your bootloader is locked. That needs to be addressed first.

Also, on googling "HTC test" you may want to investigate that further. There may be an XDA thread related to it as well. It is definitely nothing I am familiar with.

Thanks for the reply AR.
Its looking increasingly like the only way to get anywhere with this might be to unlock. Do you think this would enable updating, or would it then be a question of manually updating?
I'm just a little reluctant becuase i dont want to end up bricking my phone. But i guess it's getting to the point where its becoming increasingly frustrating it might be time to upgrade if nothing else can be done.
As far as the "HTC Test" thing goes there are a few other threads on here and elsewhere, but none with a resolution. Looks like mostly people have been in a position to hand them back and ask for a legit device. Dangers of eBay!
