Hi all,
i am very new to android. i need to add a custom module to the android kernal and recompile it and flash it to my htc hero cdma (Cellular South). can some one tell me where i can find guidelines for building android kernal and to install it in my htc hero. i tried to get the kernal source from developer.htc
but it has more than once htc hero source , can someone tell me which one to use
Thanks in advance. please forgive if these question are very basic or been already asked before, i did a fourm search and was not able get much out of it.
Thanks
VP
Well, normally I would say look in our Wiki there is a guide to getting a compiling source....BUT the wiki seems broked.
The Source you need is the Sprint HTC HERO. This is for all of the CDMA phones. Compiling be a-whole-nother ball game that I am not about to type up

i wanna try installing cyanogen modded rom onto my htc tattoo. if anyone has tried it or succeeded in ti or failed in it, please share your openions here.
i wanna know why i cant install it in my tattoo /what are the advantages of installing it/ from where do i get the information/guide to install it on tattoo....
if not possible, i wanna know the reason please... i am pretty sure, atleast someone must have tried doing this adventure... guys comeon please share your knowledge about this modded rom -cyanogen mod....
it's meant for a completely different hardware platform? unless you have a way of modifying it yourself to work with the tattoo's components, good luck!
i didnt get what you mean by completely different hardware platform... ????
because i have seen many HTC users with android on it, trying to install cyanogen mod ROM and most of them have succeeded in it....
its just a curiosity that i am asking here. even i dont know for sure why cyanogen mod doesnt work on tattoo or no one has tried installing/customizing for tattoo...
any input which helps us to install coocked rom/rooting tattoo would be highly appreciated.....
I'm not that much into this whole flashing thing, but as far as i know one of the main problems is that the screen resolution on the tattoo is different that on the hero, magic, etc.
This is the problem with all the apps on the market hero/magic. Those who work with hero, and magic, doesn't work on the tattoo. Not before the developer has modified the apps resolution on the app.
There is probably also other hardware in the phone, and therefore there has to be developed drivers that fit that hardware.
Hello!!!someone has proven to tutorials for the root htc hero or magic in the tattoo?
No. Not yet. If you don't know what 'root', 'superuser', or flashing means, I wouldn't recommend risking your phone doing the said activity. More for experienced people.
I am a newbie to android and in no way a developer...but am surely adventurous....I will also help in testing as long as step by step instructions are available...thanks so much for stirring up some interest in this...

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Exactly! As soon as step by step instructions are available, people who own the tattoo and want to flash roms will be able to. For now, we just have to wait for a breakthrough.
Hi everyone,
I've got a Legend for a moment, and i'm trying to write some code for this baby. however, either the official android sdk provides the dev driver for Legend nor the HTC dev site.
I found there is a discussion related to it
ht tp://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/2b54d2ce1202b04b/(i can't post links, plz fix it by yourself)
though it still doesn't work for me.
so are there anyone who know how to let it work as APD1&2&N1 under eclipse, could you please share your method, thanks a lot!
I;ve Had my Hero for almost & it's running stock Sprint 2.1. i want to root it but i dont know what i really have to do. i know i have to drivers & SDKs, but which ones. CAN ANYONE JUST GIVE ME LINKS WITHIN THE FORUMS TO HELP ME.
Keep in mind this will be my first time. i mainly want to customize & add ROMs to my phone. THANK YOU in advance!
Look at the stickies in this very forum. Search is your friend.

Sent from my CDMA Hero. I got some hot Gingerbread-on-Hero action here!
can you give me a specific link?
i found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=717416&highlight=Root+Sprint+Hero
But my phone runs 2.32.651.2
Z4Root works from my experience, Also super one click root works. Make sure you install busybox and superuser app from the market otherwise you won't know if you're really rooted and it wont seem you are. After that go and get ROM Manager and flash CWM (you'll know what im talking about when you get there). From there you can snoop around the development forums and grab tons of stuff with step by step guides to tweak and modify your phone to perfection
Hi, im new on this site.
I'm using HTC magic on android 1.6 an i would like to upgrade it to 2.2

Please, please, help meeeee.

first, post this in the right section. Your device has it's own sub-forum, located here
Now, look through the developmental section and you will find guides on how to root your phone, and how to install a custom ROM.
Hello devs! im trying to port a rom from the infuse, the zeus rom.i do not have permissions from the dev of the rom to port it so its only for personal use and for any one who can help port the rom. Unless dman the dev asks me to release publicly for the device. I googled how to do it follow step by step instructions and tried a few different base roms but i cant get it to boot(stays on i9000 screen) Ive tried to figure oet how to modify the updater script and whatnot but im kinda new to coding(I think this is where my problem is is in the script). right now its a learning process for me, I got a pretty good learning curve so i can catch on really quick. I really like the rom so i relly want to do it. I already sent dman a message asking for his expertice cause he built it so we might also get his help with the project. any help is great and you will be mentioned if it ever goes public.
Thanks!
bump cause i really want to use this rom
