Today i downloaded the newest version of Babbler for Android. i use Babble as my main facebook app because the official one is still lacking a bit. i do infact use the widget that comes with the official app though because its very nice. the newest version of babbler is pretty lame and a lot of the functions dont work as well as they did on the last version. is there anyway to revert back? i looked at the developers website but i couldnt find anything useful there. any help would be great!
More than likely if you weren't able to make a back up of the older version your out of luck. IMO the best thing to do is let the developer of the app know what problems you're having with it. Most of the android app devs are pretty quick to respond to issues with their apps. If it affects you it probably affects others.
Make a comment in the market or even better if available send them an email with as many details as possible.
go to the website cyanogen provided for the adp 1.6 image and download the 1.5 image
im not trying to go from donut back to cupcake. i am using a hero rom so im on cupcake by default. i want to downgrade to an older version of an application (babbler).
Alright, I've been meaning to do this a while;
Jamezelle asked me to port his Sense Hero build over to the new installation method a while back but I've been really caught up with my personal build. Now that I'm at a level I'm comfortable with I had some time to do this for James.
Bear in mind this is a cupcake based build, so alot of the new work we've done to tweak android won't work here. But it was good then and it's just as good now
Please don't use the 'orange' launcher on setup. I just realized now after uploading 100MB that I put in a donut launcher that won't work in cupcake. so just use rosie.
I've tweaked it a little, including userinit on boot etc.
It is nandable. Boot up is slow because it isn't odexed however once up and running it runs as good as.. well as good as it did before.. lol

Installed to NAND just now waiting at the Hero bootscreen. Will get back to you with more information once it had loaded and had a chance to play with this build.

i have been able to download just fine from the market,
did you do a clean wipe or try to keep stuff from your last build when installing?

also you dont need to format your card for donut and above. so if you had started out with donut or eclair and didnt format your card thats probably why. cause i had to format my sdcard when i was using cupcake but then i had got a new sdcard and immediately switched to donut but never formatted my sdcard and it worked. just throwing out some possibilities

I love the Hero, thanks so much! I think it's running even faster than the tatoo, but since it's cupcake, all the wifi updates I have for donut and eclair don't work for the cupcake (I tried and with no luck), it would be perfect for daily use if the wifi is working, anyway, appreciate for your work!
Thanks for all the info guys. I love the senseui in this SenseHero build…but I honestly miss Myn's Warm Donut. It is the most fast and reliable build I have tried for the vogue. Even with the Market working in the SenseHero build, it lags to much to me. I will really miss using the mail, sms, album, and calendar widgets that are in this build. Does any one know if I could just take the apk's of the widgets out of the data/apps to insert into the ported Hero theme in Myn's Warm Dount?

Okay. Well I have the CDMA Hero from Sprint. I'm new to the whole rooting thing.
I was on build 1.56, but re-ran the 1.55 build, and now I'm on the 1.55 build with successful root. Super Permissions and all.
My question is, what can and should I do now? I want the lock screen like the Samsung Moment has stock. With both sides working. Unlock and sound. Also want the text and time. All of it working like it came stock on the phone.
Anything special I should install, or good roms that look professional (not sports or weed ones.).
Welcome to the world of HTC Hero CDMA modding
1) If you want a ROM made with speed, stability, and classic HTC look as its priorities then check out nfinitefx45's Sprint 2.27.651.6 STOCK Deoxed
If you want another stable and speedy ROM but with the classic vanilla Android look, take a look at Darchdroid
Fresh Rom is another popular favorite.
2) You can remove Stocks, Nascar and other useless apps...
3) Run wireless tether. Pick 1.6.0 as that has been reported to be the most stable version for our specific phone
4) If you get Fresh or nfinitefx's ROM, get Darchkernel for fixes in call receiving, wireless tether, overclock, and optional undervolt for better battery life
5) Get SetCPU to control CPU speed and tweak for better battery life
6) Regarding the vanilla lock screen: Darchdroid comes with vanilla lock screen just the way you want, not sure if the background is transparent or not though. Fresh Rom also has the vanilla lock screen with text and time, but I'm pretty sure the background is transparent. If you use nfinitefx45's rom the only way I know of to get vanilla lockscreen is a transparent version without text and time.
Hope this helps!
Thank you. Helped a lot.
I look forward to learning more about modding, and more that I can do with Rooting.
Danger bro no love huh lmao

I used Fresh's rom. Everything is running smoothly.
I have the Vanilla lock, but it's incomplete for me. I'm missing the text. There is no Sprint, No Time, No Date, and it's Transparent.
I'd like to have a background and all that text. Other than that, everything is working smoothly.
Also as for a Recovery, anything special I should have? I took a Nandroid back up (with fresh installed) before I installed the vanilla lock screen.
I just rooted a few weeks ago. If you want a rom that looks awesome and is already under/overclocked Buufed from crunchysoft is pretty kool and it has the lock screen your referring to with and the data on it.

IMO Buufed's themed-out look won't meet his requirement of "looking professional."

Hey All,
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I'm tired of the version 2.1 stock ROM for the Sprint Hero. Even when its rooted and I clean out all the bloatware its still sluggish, buggy, and it has lately been aggravating me to no end. I want a nice lightweight ROM that has everything working (radio, wifi, data, etc.) but I don't want the HTC Sense UI if possible. Also, if it could have built in wifi tether (because all the apps I've used on the stock ROM tend to lock up or reboot the device) that would be great. Also, Apps2SD would also be nice but not a requirement.
Can someone recommend a good one?
Thanks in advance!

you are posting in the way wrong section this would have been better suited in general or Q&A
but my recommendation for you would be CM7 the official release for the HeroC, its stock android with some flavor. good battery life, apps2sd supported via built in manager (added in 2.2). built in tethering in the device settings menu (AOSP 2.3 feature) and last but not least it's AOSP based so SenseUI is nowhere to be found
I have tried all and in my mind the fastest has been hero deck. I even turned down my MHz to 691 when I use to have it at 768.

Deck's rom is fast....No doubt, but.....if you're looking for a blend of speed and stability I'd listen to ThoughtlessKyle and go with CM7. That is what I put back on my Hero for my son to use.

I'll definitely look into both ROMs. Thanks for the help!
My stock rom ran into issues the other day. Force close loop on senseui or something. Basically required a factory reset so while I was at it I decided to put a new rom on. I went with CM7. Had done a bunch of reading in the past and everyone was using CM6 then. Its nice. The one thing I didnt like is the voicemail. Getting it setup to download my voicemails to the phone was kinda a pain and the annoying texts from 9016 get old quick. Not sure why there is no solution for this. And running a separate program to block messages from 9016 isnt really a solution in my opinion.
I hear that deck rom has voicemail working with no additional installation/config necessary and none of the 9016 text messages so I plan to give it a try.
Hi, all!
I have a Dream/ G1 with Android 2.2.1 (Froyo). This was the latest stable ROM before Cyanogenmod stopped supporting this device (update-cm-6.1.0-DS-signed.zip).
I've recently started to find that Google Navigation 'freezes', whilst following a route. It seems that the voice commands/ directions continue to work, but the map freezes. I find the app really useful and need to get another 10 months out of my G1 before I can get a replacement.
Can anyone recommend a stable ROM that can run 'Navigation'? I don't care about most of the features, as long as it makes calls, sends (and receives) texts, pulls down my Gmail and runs Navigation...... I guess the problem could actually be with 'the 'Navigation' app, so maybe I need to try to identify when this problem started and then regress to an old version and not allow updates...hmmm (thinking aloud).
I've moved as many apps as I can to the SDCard, in order to free-up space.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Chris.
I think CM6 is the only ROM that has the navigation app...Of course CM7 does too, but it's unsupported for your device. And a lot of the unofficial Gingerbread ROMs that also have the navigation app are very unstable.
Thanks, xda<3. Looks like I may have to dig the TomTom out, again.
Chris.
Try biffmod. It's like cm6 but stripped down and optimized specifically for the g1.

if you want stable try a ezterry rom, im currently runniing ezgingerbread(link on my signature)and i havent had one single force close.
Thanks maximo360, I'll have a look at that link now. Biffmod looks interesting, but at the moment, the /swap partition thing looks a bit daunting. I've created a seperate post about the Biffmod installation. As I say, I'll have a look at your link.
Thanks for taking the time to reply.
cheers,
Chris.
I had a look at the link. Interestingly it talks about Google Maps being very resource intensive and to use 4.7. This could be the root of my Google Navigation problem.
Before I test another ROM, is it possible to download the 4.7 version of Maps and just use this instead of the currently installed one, i.e., downgrade? I guess if it's possible, I'll just not allow automatic updating of Maps.
### Just notice the reference to Brut maps, based on 4.6. I'll see if this is on Market.
Thanks,
Chris.

yes u can downgrade i think that is discussed in the thread or just post a reply asking for the most stable navigation app that they used.
Brut Maps downloaded and seems to work. Will need to do a longish journey to prove it properly. Suspect it will be fine, as I used to run this before Google maps, without any issues.
Cheers,
Chris.
Brut Maps is far more stable on my G1 than the native Navigation app; I've been using it for a couple years now.
I guess the downside of Brut is that as a static APK, it may not get map updates. If this is the case, I can live with it.
Cheers,
Chris.
Froyo by Lazslo with Igo-myway working fine for me hier in EU . Is not necessary to have data plan or messing with google maps.
If you are alright with upgrading to Gingerbread, use COS-DS by Roalex. It's a great ROM. Stable, fast, and just great
I looked at installing EzGingerbrea, but due to complications upgrading Radio and Spl, I think I may have to stick with the latest (quite old) Froyo ROM. Thanks for the suggestion. I just don't want to install the Android Dev (SDK, I think) software on my Linux box.
Cheers,
Chris

Well ... with your radio/spl combo it should be possible to install EzGingerbread on your phone. Not that I would suggest to do so, because you will have about 14MB less RAM, which is noticable on our phones, but principally it should run .
What sort of complications? And you shouldn't have to install anything onto your computer... unless of course, those are the complications you were talking about :/ (Sidenote, linux = awesome, what distro are you using? I love ubuntu myself...)
And no problem for the suggestion, let me know if you decide to upgrade. Gingerbread, while probably SLIGHTLY slower than Froyo, it brings so much wonderfulness with it :] haha

Slightly off-topic, but I generally prefer Debian based distros, but in the last 12 years of having a Windows free house, I've tried most of them, and particularly like Arch linux. Ubuntu seems to be heading in a direction I don't like, but if I ever use a Ubuntu-type distro, it's always Xubuntu, as it's lighter but still has a feature rich desktop.

Chris.

I'm now using Brut Maps (which is what I was using here in the UK, before Navigation was properly available). Things seem much more stable, now.
