darchdroid mms fix? - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there any kind of fix for mms on darchdroid? I don't care how complicated it is.
I would really like to use darchdroid but I need to be able to download pictures from all my friends. I'm on fresh 2.0b right now with just the vanilla lockscreen and I really like it, but i would like to have the full vanilla environment.
I guess there's always Ic3rome but from what I've read darchdroid seems like its a lot better.
I'm sorry if there is already a thread about this i tried to search for it but I didn't really know how to word the search terms.

No MMS yet sadly.

i'm sure he is working on it, that is all that is left "not working"
EDIT: good first post, welcome to xda

Do you think this will be fixed in future updates? I believe Darchstar is one of the ones not leaving for the evo.

He's not at this moment, but he did say something about 2.2 possibly fixing MMS

I had issues *sending* MMS and fixed that myself, but receiving MMS is another ball of wax. It's pretty low level and will require some coding most likely.

Is it worth

Is it worth me taking a new dream from Tmobile UK and rooting it to get a Hero ROM so I can have the new UI ??
Are there any problems with the ROM ?? that would stop it being used day to day ? also is it worth trading googlemail push for Microsoft Active Sync for Exchange which I used before on my WM device. ??
Hero is a port from a device with higher specs so to run on a g1, there will be a noticeble inherit slowness. I believe you will still have gmail on a hero rom though. For day to day use I would use a cyanogen rom. If you do want to run hero, you will need to partion your sd card into 3 partions, hero also has problems missing text, no bluetooth and no led notiifacations
Thankyou
Sounds pretty much like its not worth it then shame cause i love the dream QWERTy keyboard trying to type emails with on screen keyboard is a nightmare.
are there any screen shots of this ROM you mentioned ? What is good about this ROM ?
I just got the Dream yesterday it was supposed to be a Hero but they sent the wrong phone and offered me line rental discount if i kept it.
I just not sure if I should send it back and get hero.

it depends on how much you want the physical keyboard. personally i wouldn't be able to give it up. the cyanogen rom he mention looks like a stock rom unless you theme. sorry don't know where i can get stock screen shot right now. you can probably google it though.
Go over the devolpment sub-forum and go into cyanogenmod thread, you can see screnshots there, go witht the stable version which is 4.04, basiclly the feel and look of a stock rom but optimize for performance, it is the top rom for speed and stabilty at the moment. You can also download the cm updater from the market to stay on top of updates and a easy way to flash for now on. But make sure you make a nandroid backup for a just in case cause every once in a while you can get a bad download. Highly suggest also flashing cyanogen's pimped out recovery 1.4
Thanks for the info I might just hold off for a while and see how I go with stock ROM although I suspect I need to do something cause i am struggling to find any widgets that I want to use on the phone as standard

im pretty sure you could find a g1/dream on ebay or somewhere fairly cheap so if you can i would get the hero and have the g1 i mean i am buying a practically brand new g1 from a friend that is rooted with the 1.33.2005 spl for $100 maybe i just got really lucky.
You got lucky, I just got mine from t-mobile for 150 with a new 2 year contract, so hopefully my g1 won't be extremely out of date and unsupported by then. At least by then there should be a new android phone with a snapdragon or tegra processor with 500mb ram and a pyshical keyboard which will blow away the g1 and even hero. Who knows by then we might have full graphic support with some cool ass games. Just hope we can get some better battery life by then

actually gridlock is pretty much wrong.
bluetooth doesnt work but i dont need it so i can live without it. LEDs dont fully work. it shines green whenever i get something new,but it doesnt blink.
missing text only exist is some hero roms... in JACs 1.6r2a , sms works fine. there is a slowness when compared to other cupcake builds, but hero runs pretty fast in my opinion. just cyanogens cupcake builds run faster.
i really like the sense ui and included widgets. multitouch is nice. and watching youtube in High quality over a 3g network is wonderful.
i love using the twitter widget. its soo useful. i only use twitter to follow devs,android news,tmonews, and new ROM news. so its easy to keep track of what the devs are doing and releasing
also i enjoy using my phone as a wifi access point, so i can use my laptop anywhere i go.
there is lag at times,but its not like SUPER SLOW. and you cant open the keyboard while at the homescreen. u just cant yet. but in apps u can.
isn't there hero free from tmobile uk with a contract? or was that only for a while back? i remember seeing it when it was released. i would definitely get the hero then just buy a g1 off ebay or something. then just alternate between the 2. also it would take a large discount for me to keep the g1.
don't get me wrong i love my g1 but it would be easier to buy a g1 that it would be to buy a hero, just my opinion.
Ok so how do you figure I am wrong, you just backed up what I said, ok so you get your led to shine but it is still not correctly working, you backed up what I said about it being slower, I was saying hardware wise, and you backed up saying that some hero roms miss texts. Can you run your hero without swap or compchace without having a significant difference, I don't think so. Yes hero roms are getting better but in all reality how was I pretty much wrong when you said the same thing in nicer terms. Just out of curiosity. I think it just comes down to a matter of opinion

"hero also has problems missing text, no bluetooth and no led notiifacations"
jacs hero 1.6r2a has no sms issues. the ones that have sms issues are the one thats older and outdated, or the new hero roms that hasnt been optimized.
LED notifications exist. just not as good as cupcake, but they are there.
its late and i dont feel like arguing with u. hero does have lag compared to cupcakes builds,but its not major
i say get the hero and than get a g1 i got one from craigslist practically new without contract for 130=D
Just been looking down the specs
The Dream and Hero are pratically the same apart from the memory and camera.
Not really to bothered by the camera anyways I got a 12mp camera if i want a photo. The video on the Hero is poor anyways. The only thing id be paying for is widgets at the expense of a full keyboard of the dream.
I suspect the increase in ROM and RAM is only to allow the Hero to run the Sense UI interface.
I think im going to stick with the dream.....

New Motorola MOTOBlur UI

Does anyone know if there is a leak of the new MotoBlur UI or rom? or if it's even possible to port to the G1? ... I know it was just annouced but there isn't a section for it and i wouldn't mind having some of the widgets and or features that have already been shown. Does anyone have any additional info on this besides what's already been released my motorola today?

i figured it would work in either section but it is development based b/c it is a new UI that hasn't been seen ... I was more or less tryin to spark interest into this.
Just in case someone didn't know, here some info http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/live-from-motorolas-android-announcement-at-mobilize-09/
Looks awesome, but i think the device only has the qualcomm ~550MHz cpu..
Waiting for the Motorola Sholes with Snapdragon, whoooo
As long as it runs on the Qualcomm architecture that the Dream/Magic/Hero etc. run on, there's no reason why it could not be ported to the Dream. Once it comes out, that is.
this will probably take months before its leaked and weeks before its usable
ANY videos?

Hero STILL doesn't have bluetooth, based on past results, it's very very hard to port this stuff over in a usable manner. The devs are the best, but if we still don't have Hero working, what are the odds of us getting this one anytime soon?

I'd say there's a high chance of getting a full working version of "MOTOBLUR" on the G1 before a working version of Sense UI.
Of course nobody can comment before the phone/rom is released but at first glance it doesn't look like the core of android has been edited much, if at all. It's simply the stock android home screen with 2 extra shortcuts at the bottom and some new widgets.
Even the calendar app has remained the same.
http://www.t-mobile.com/promotions/GenericRegular.aspx?PAsset=Pro_Pro_MotoCliqLaunch&WT.mc_id=637m3
go to this page and click on the MotoBlur Demo link on the right hand side to get
a full demo of the UI.
I like the fact that your "inbox" contains messages/gmails/fbook messages all in one list.
And it has the same screen res and 528mhz processor as the g1 so it shouldn't be too much work to get it on there. This is way more exciting than hero, cuz the hero roms are so slow

agreed i love the universal inbox as well as the Happenings screen/widget. even if that was all we got, i would be happy lol
what people need to realize is that its not about what official rom we want.. its what from each rom we want.. cause with the way devs keep taking things from all the new roms and putting into current ones.. all we need is to take the best from each and make one bomb rom..lol

devs havent got bluetooth to work cuz the hero source code is closed source. if motorola keeps the source code for the blur UI open, then devs have
all around access to not only port the build but framework, bluetooth, led's,etc.
i hope we get a system dump soon this UI looks real good.. i dont like all the colors but im sure manups work'll take care of all that

cyan might be getting a system dump sometime very soon.
Don't play with my emotions jc....lol. I'm hoping we can get this ported because all I really want from Hero is the HTC Music (got it) and the integrated social apps. This would be gold and for cyan to work his magic...

Android 2.0 Dream Development

Hi guys, I haven't frequented the forums in a while.
Good to be back.
I was curious about if any attempts have been made to update to 2.0.
How did it go?
This thread is what got me curious.
It appears that the only constraint is storage, which most of us rooted folks have plenty of.
A T-Mo rep says it will definitely happen.
So somebody fill me in
There are sync and camera driver issues, and the fact that HTC themselves haven't released an update yet really limits development, unfortunately.

i think its only camera now sync has been fixed it all good but 3d games dont work all that well JFYI
I see, it would be nice to see some future support.
I'm not too big on the camera anyway.
As long as its fast/faster.
If its slower then ill stick with 1.6.
I just wanted to get an idea of where things were at the moment.
If you really don't care about the camera (I mean really don't care because you won't have scanning or any of that) you should try manups eclair build. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=598973 I really liked it but the no camera turned into something I could not deal with. Lots of neato stuff in there.

Consensus on Froyo?

For those who have upgraded to 2.2, how do you feel about it? Has the speed noticeably improved? More stability? More better?!
Just curious as to what those of us with non-N1 phones have to look forward to as this version gets released for other handsets.
I am also wondering if this: "Apps can now send information to the Google server and have it send the info to the phone, wake it up and even load up whatever info they want" means that there will FINALLY be some decent mail clients with PUSH. That's the one thing which keeps me thinking about my old BB is the instant e-mail...
Thanks!
Honestly, the new stuff that they added in make 2.2 a great step up... enabling JIT is HUGE and I dont think people realize how big this is...
The whole foundation and innards of the Android OS have been upgraded and become more efficient which is great for all phones but there is a ton of lacking to the nexus one rom itself which is why many people are going back to their custom 2.1 roms...
personally, something as simple as having black text overlay a white background in the messaging app is EXTREMELY annoying let alone showing the persons picture next to each message is an incredible waste of space... same gripes go for trackball colors, trackball wake, number overlay on the battery icon (right now im using the battery indicator app but its pretty janky if you ask me), launchers not working right, themes not working yet, native 360 home screen rotation (which they REALLY should have put in)... the list goes on really...
however, i am sticking it out on froyo to get a feel for the new radio, battery life changes (if any, mine seems to have tanked), use more flash, ect... i wanna get used to the new features because when CM6 drops its going to be peace and harmony again
on a side note, my Bloo 1.5 beta app wigs out on me ALOT more than it did in 2.1 which is annoying as well since i love the app!

Push email is up to the email provider. If MS or Yahoo wanted to they would have done an email app with push already.
JCopernicus, when I had a Palm Pre, any POP mail account I set up on that thing got "pushed" instantly, just like a Blackberry. Only it was actually faster than a Blackberrry - all emails showed up in about 1 second after being sent!
I don't know if it was technically "push" or what, but instant e-mail without polling a server is what I am talking about.
That was build into the Pre's WebOS...(there was no need to add clients or such.) With the Pre: Just use the mail app, input your email and password, and it's all set up. Worked very well. I am hoping for this on Android ASAP!
thanks.
JHaste, I know there is the new JIT in there - but does it actually FEEL much faster in normal use ;-)

That's because palm worked with all those email providers to include push on palm devices.
I had no "provider", I have my own web site and POP off of that (server run by Bluehost), and it was instant email...
Do you mean they worked with every web site server company to implement push (there are thousands)? And Blackberry works with all of these companies individually too? (Anyway, if little ond Palm can do it, then Google should be able to figure it out ;-))
What ever they are doing I hope Google does the same. Getting email only every 15 or 30 minutes is a P.I.T.A., and the polling servers kills the battery on Android devices. Try setting it to every 5 minutes and your phone will not last half a day in my experience. Especially if you have several email accounts set up.
the browser is much much faster compared to before. i spend a lot of time browsing on my phone and every single site renders about twice as fast compared to before. other than the browser though, i have not used a single intensive application :/
For me froyo is fast in every way. I have problems with some 3rd party apps that need to be updated for froyo, but besides that, everything is great. I already updated 3 apps and waiting the update for 2 more. In the coming weeks we will see the apps being updated and the market access to paid apps will be there.
Can't imagine there will be consensus on Froyo, until sometime after it is officially released to the general population by Google. Sometime after OTA updates are widely occurring, when the broader community will have access to a genuinely official FROYO intended for and pushed to them by Google.
To expect consensus when we do not even know if it is THE official release to market, is jumping the gun. Judging by all the comments and issues around this forum....I am dearly hoping what the early adopters have, is NOT the official release.
In the mean time you will get plenty of Froyo Opinions, but little consensus I'd reckon.
I think once Cyanyogenmod comes out, we will have the best of both worlds, and my gripes will be eased.

hate to burst your bubble of hope but this is the release that we were waiting for... it has the framework for flash to run, JIT is enabled, ect, ect... and it obviously has all of the drivers meant for the N1 since our phones are running it fine...
I dont know why everyone was expecting a 1.6 to 2.0 leap... this is an incremental leap just like 2.0 to 2.1, it has some nice new features and cleaned up a few things but it is not ground breaking... like i said before it really just made the whole android os more efficient and snappier with JIT enabled and yes I can tell a difference on just about any app
this has everything google said it was going to have... not its up to our lovely devs to make it shine! and there might be other little goodies that the devs can now do that they couldnt on 2.1...
after all the hype surrounding this new release, it's not all that great. Don't get me wrong, I like some of the added features but there are people talking about how much faster it is ... thinking those people were coming from a junked up flash anyways. Anytime you wipe and reinstall everything always seems a little nicer.
Overall, I think it's nice but definitely not worth all the hype. Still on the fence about doing cyan or another rom ... they seem to have their share of issues as well and at present I am just fine with a rooted stock ROM. Shame no one has taken the time to come up with MetaMorphs for the stock ROMs.

With Adobe Flash installed browsing the web isn't fun anymore. It's painfully slow..also when using some multitouch gestures. In daily use (calendar, mail, todo's and web) I seriously can't tell which one is faster....2.2 or the latest CM. For me Froyo is a bit of a disappointment. After setting it up with all the programs I use on a daily basis there is very little difference (looks and speed) with prior versions. Adobe Flash was the first program I installed after flashing Froyo..and it was the first program I uninstalled after 15 minutes of use. Finally, I almost can't imagine this is a final release...too many little bugs.

Your a little off on this. I did not whipe when I flashed 2.2. I used motoco rom and there is a significant speed increase. Not just opening apps, but boot up time as well. I am missing a few fetures from CM6.0.7-T2 but I am happy to wait for them. While I wait for trackball wake and Notification, Ill entertain my time with some hulu lol.
Flash does slow down browsing, but it's better to have the option than...nothing, so for now, I set it as "On Demand" and it's more that I can ask for.
Nobody is mentioning:
- Active/Sync support with, finally exchange push without compromises, PIN/Remote wipe, GAL, Calendar.. no need for third party mail apps
- Office 2007 files now open with quickoffice
- Bluetooth Dial from headset
When the subtle MODS (full screen browser, music widget/controls, trackball..) make it into CMXX it will be great, but for now, I will stick with 2.2

My mistake, I just looked around some more. Palm os uses imap idle to push email. If your server supports it it works good.
On the android side you can use K-9 mail for the same function. Default email client doesn't (other than gmail).
Froyo is fine for me in the state it is. I still think it's just a pre-release just like a teaser or something. Either way we all know that once the source code it released and the devs get cracking on some roms then this will be forgotten.
Everyone has an opinion and it seems nobody will ever be happy with anything that is put out for our device. Honestly I dont think alot of us were supposed to have froyo yet, but paul and cy hooked us up and there is still complaints. Then when everyone officially gets froyo there will be complaints about that etc.
I'm not trying to turn this into an arguement or anything but I say the consensus should be Froyo is a nice little upgrade from 2.1. Heck i sold my x10 for the nexus one and they're still trying to root 1.6 on their devices. Other devices are still waiting for an upgrade to 2.1 and we got 2.2 even before the all so called powerful EVO? damn i'm more than happy about that!
People get exited and inquisitive when they see my Nexus One, and those that know about android go bananas when they see 2.2 on it! I love it ...ok bye now have a nice day lol

[Q] HORRIBLE camcorder quality!

Hey everyone. This is only my second post here (I usually use google to solve all of my problems) but I can't figure this out for the life of me. I rooted my phone a couple months back, and flashed Cyanogenmod 6. All was well, except I noticed the camcorder's quality went from OK to dreadful. I figured "okay, maybe it's the ROM. I'll flash AOSP 0.9.9.2."..... no luck, same problem. And in AOSP, the camera app also crashes sometimes. Does anyone have an idea of what could be going wrong? Thanks in advance!

This is because the working camera driver for custom builds is a hack at best. Until one of the later patches, it would cause the camera force-close on double-tap zoom. It's mostly stable on the camera side now (although picture quality still doesn't match the stock firmware), but the camcorder size has a lot of room for improvement.
Hopefully one day someone will step up and finish the job (or one day I'll stop being lazy and do it).

actually, my phone was so slow stock i couldn't send an sms message without keyboard lag.
i'm willing to sacrifice some stability for a major increase in performance.
did u ever do the software update because it fixed that

The latest OTA updates brought bugfixes and improvements in speed. I would highly recommend revisiting the stock firmware if you haven't used the latest updates.
If you're looking to make it snappier, I would suggest the ZenKernel or even the DecaFuct kernel if you don't mind it breaking your trackball backlight.
I was serious about the stock firmware being the most stable. I'm running it myself (albeit with an overclocked kernel), and the only issue I've found with it so far is that Facebook for HTC Sense is no longer able to sync contact photos (probably due to a Facebook API change). CM7 on the Hero still has many issues to be fixed.
