I would like to update my daughter's Sprint hero to Froyo.
I would like to have back Sprint UI and and Sprint functions including PRL etc.
Which distribution should I use?
By Sprint UI do you mean HTC Sense like what came with the phone originally?
There aren't any fully functional Sense Roms running 2.2 that I know of. You can try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846493 which I used for awhile, but the camera doesn't work which is a pretty big draw back for me..
I think the main problem getting a 2.2 rom running Sense is that there isn't any CDMA 2.2 HTC Android phones out there yet.
Hope that helps.
OK, except the Sprint UI, wil everything else function correctly if I use the different rom?
I heard there are some problems with PRL updates.
If there package that contains the sprint stuff ,like Navigation, TV etc?
I haven't had any issues. You can find install packages for the sprint navigation and the sprint tv just fine. Only things that won't work are things specific to the HTC Sense like the clock/weather widget on the desktop. But there are alternatives!
I prefer the 2.2 AOSP personally....
and FYI, I think Google navigation > sprint navigation.

When trying to download onto my phone from the Market, I get an error message 'Package file was not signed correctly.'
I'm running Cyanogen 4.2.5 on my Rogers Magic 32A.
Doesn't work for me in denmark
I think this is only US.
It's been released for the Market on all devices, but I think it has something to do with our devices using test-keys and not release-keys...
Thoughts?
Same problem in Belgium with 32A using CyanogenMod 4.2.5 with Kernel 2.6.29bfs.
Very sad
working fantastic on my MT3G running Dwang 1.13. Didn't get an 'update available' notification, but installing it from the market worked flawlessly. I gotta say, navigation with google layers is freakin' awesome

I have the same phone and ROM version and it updated just fine from the Market. However, I did push the software to my phone, following the instructions here. Not sure if that's why it works without issue.
So i guess its confirmed that this is still US only. BAH
"Some features of Android 2.0 are not available on Android 1.6, for example, the ability to use the "navigate to" voice command as shown in our demo video. However, you can still create a shortcut that will allow you to launch Navigation and start getting directions to a specific place from your current location with just a single touch from your home screen."

ugh...
If it is US only, why did they not restrict it to the US on the market ? Or maybe that's technically not possible with the current market configuration ?

Or you can search the Market for 'Nav Launcher' and it will enable these features through an external application. Works fine for me.
Same issue on a Mytouch 3G (32B,) in the US and also running Cyanogen 4.2.5.
This is a fresh install of cyanogen as well (literally nothing more than the 1.6 base image and then the cyanogen update.)
I'm also getting the "package not signed" error. Not sure what the problem is. Running CyanogenMod Android 1.6, but I honestly don't remember what version of Cyanogen it is.
This official update no different than the 1.6 hacked Maps w/Navigation that was pulled from the Droid dump.
Even if you can get it installed, you still need to use either Directions shortcuts or the Nav Launcher to get it working outside the US.
I keep getting errors cannont remove / no such file or directory
on cyan 4.2.5 seams like nothing different from 2.0 droid nav
I sure do wish that people stop giving apps 1 start because it doesn't work on cyanogenmod..... these are precisely the people that bring down heat on developers with their crying. God forbid they have to do a search on the net... and, dare I say, read 3 lines of text.
People need to realize we are not flashing official software here, and so we have no right to b*tch if something that's made for official software doesn't work on our hacked ones. There is not one dev here that I can remember who doesn't clearly say that if you break your phone it's your responsibility, not his, or the manufacturers. That's why we have this community here, if you're having problems most members here will help you out however they can because that's what this place is about tweaking our equipment as much as possible and fixing it when we mess up. I would say most people here enjoy helping others out with tech related stuff, I know I do in whatever way possible, but I have no sympathy for those that can't be a$$ed to read a few lines and just want to flash their phones with total disregard of what could happen.
How do you think google feels everytime they see a one star rating on one of their apps, or any other app, that works perfectly fine on official images when the person comments "DIS SUXXORS, IT B NOT WORKING ON C.M 4.2.5"? It's a miracle they didn't crack down on cyanogen much sooner than they did. PLEASE, PLEASE PRETTY PLEASE if you have issues with something you downloaded from XDA or any other site on the net that deals with this kind of stuff, don't go complaining to your mobile carrier, or whoever developed your mobile's official software; come here and ask for help... besides 99% of the time I'm fairly sure that we'll do a much better job of helping than anybody you can contact from your mobile carrier, or official developers. Also, if you brick you're phone be responsible for you're mistake; don't try to be sly and send it in because it's not working to your dev because again this only attracts unnecessary attention to this site. I'm fairly sure that cease & desist that xda received from MS a few years back was due to precisely this.
I've customized windows mobile, palm, symbian, android phones, plus ps1, ps2, ps3, psp, wii, and so far I've never brick anything, or at least not to the point I can't bring it back, so does this mean I'm super lucky? or super smart? Not really, it's quite simple really my secret is this: READ, Read like your equipment depended on it because quite frankly IT DOES.
Sorry for the rant guys, it's not directed at any one of you, but maybe just maybe one of these "people" will find it and correct themselves. I'd actually wish the mods would post something on the main page, but then again who am I kidding the problem originally arises from them not reading in the first place.
I agree.
Also not working on my phone (32a Magic). Currently looking for a work around.
I have searched for:
Google
Google Maps
Google Maps Navigation
Navigation
Etc, Etc, Etc...
and can NOT find this version in the market???
I updated to the latest "Google Maps" from the market, but it does not have the NAV Features.
AHA!
Redownloaded and now get the "Package Not Signed" error as well.
CyanogenMod-4.2.5
I have hardly seen anyone who uses Desire ROMS as their default day to day ROM. I'm debating doing this to get flash on the browser, but I'm not sure about how battery life is compared to enom.

I've been using Sense day-to-day exclusively for 2 months now.
I used it for the first month of owning the phone.
I would run it for like, 2 days at a time out of a given month and revert back to CM.
Maybe im slow, and they do in fact exist, but the Trackball wake mods are the deal breaker for me and Sense.
Untill they get the bluetooth worked out its not an option for me. Maybe add another option in the poll to something like "Im wanting to give it a spin but and will do so when its a little more ready for prime time". I suspect I am not the only one that is waiting because of the bluetooth issues.
How does everyone find the battery life, and and which desire ROM do you use?
I would love to use the Desire ROMs, but I get nothing but problems from them. They run slow, lag and **** up my text messaging. Otherwise I do like SenseUI a lot. Wish I could get it working flawlessly.
Used it went back to cm.. It just seems to cluttered

I used it for 3 hours. Don't really see how sense is better... The widgets are huge and there are far fewer mods/themes for it.
Was planning on keeping it for the exchange support, then that stopped working

Personally I find the whole 'Icons-plastered-all-over-the-place' that the iPhone and Stock Android do extremely ugly. And I find non-HTC widgets too dissimilar and all different sizes to look any good when trying to fill a lot of space.
I have 4 icons on my home screen; that's IT * (as you can see in my signature). The other 6 windows are Sense Widgets that I use on a daily basis.
If anything, I wish there were MORE good-looking full-screen (and useful) widgets!
* Hence your MoreRecent app
How do you launch apps other than the 4, Paul? Just curious as I don't like having icons all over the place either; I basically alternate between Gesture Search and Quick Search

I just use the launcher (bottom left arrow on Sense UI home screen).
More recently, I've been using britoso's MoreRecent app http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=676438
I have use it for about two weeks now tried cm and emon but I switch back.. I like the widgets and havent had a problem with with it the battery life is the same for me
Sent from my Nexus One using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
I use the Desire rom when i am at home, but this week i have used cyan to get better battery life on vacation. i really like the email app, camera, and the widgets.
the battery life isnt where i want it, but with a charger at the desk and at home, i can pull through.
I use to use Sense, but switched back to Cyanogen because I don't enjoy the fact that Desire ROMs are not as speedy as stock, or ROMs based off of stock. I love Sense more, but speed is also not to be forgotten, I can easily feel the difference.
There are also several quirks that can occur.
I probably would use Sense if bluetooth would work reliably but I have a feeling that shipped has sailed. So until Paul gets BT working and a few other bugs worked out I'm sticking to CM Roms and Pershoot's kernels

Well we all know HTC has to release the Desire kernel source eventually, which is how Paul said Bluetooth would be supposedly be fixed.
They have merely 60 days from the official release of the Desire to release the source before it becomes illegal. I'm sure they want to uphold their moral standards..

What I don't understand is why they're taking so long to release the Desire code, when the Incredible's code was already released -- less than a week since it's release??!!
I have to wonder if HTC is looking at Paul's work and not releasing it because of that haha Maybe they're trying to figure out a way to modify the code so it's not able to be ported to the N1
Love the Send-UI.
BT works fine, once you've paired the device.
i've been using Sense UI since R8. i tried R20 and R21, but those releases weren't as stable as R19, so i've been on R19 for the last 5 weeks. what i like most about the Sense UI ROM are the native features/functionality i use everyday. by native i mean out-of-the-box apps. these include:
Exchange functionality (mail, calendar and contacts); push email has worked flawlessly for me with the Sense UI ROM
mail app features - threaded email view, ability to resize fonts, view emails from/to contacts, signature for each email account
contacts features (screen to see txts, email and calls by contacts)
agenda calendar widget (60 day view via scrolling, ability to view my gmail and Exchange calendar on the same widget)
contact favorites widgets (one group for family one for work)
email widget (scroll/view for new mail, tap email to open directly)
i also prefer the native black task bar, so no need to install a task bar theme. i prefer a conservative look with access to the things i use most. i don't like icons on every screen, so i use the app drawer (?) to access and launch programs. i haven't used CM's ROM since 5.0.3, so i can't offer an opinion on speed, etc. navigational speed on R19 is great from my perspective. fyi, i'm using intersectRavens (4.29) kernel with R19 and am seeing a notable improvement in battery life. i'm using a Jabra BT device for music and calls and it connects every time i turn on Bluetooth and the headset. i suspect this is due to me using the custom kernel.
the only 3rd party customizations i've installed are morphs for the HTCClockWidget (custom font and no background), the mail icon and the message icon. the fact that all of us have customization options is a really a great thing! options like Sense ROMs, CM ROMs, etc, allows me to "make it (my N1) mine"!
hello everyone, i have my moto droid on a network called tbaytel and the only way i can get incoming texts is if i use the Zeusdroid Alpha 15 rom. so i think its something from within the Htc framework thats different than normal android. so is theere anyway it can be extracted and installed on any rom?
I've never heard of that network, but there shouldn't be anything in the sense framework affecting that by way of service, however, there may be other sense roms that would work better for you, also, does your service work with a regular froyo rom?
I have an AT&T HTC ONE and I constantly switch roms. It's annoying because I lose everything but I get bored easily because none of the roms are perfect.
I tried CyanogenMod and I didn't like it because I thought it was suppose to be stock android but it's not.
I tried AOKP, Paranoid Android, and PACMAN ROM all of which killed my battery and made it hot.
I even tried Stock Sense roms such as AndroidRevolution which is probably the best rom but I'm getting tired of Sense kind of. ViperOne Rom killed my battery so I didn't like that.
Then I tried MIUI because I love iPhone and hoping to go back when my contract ends because of how easy it is to use. The problem with android in my eyes is that it doesn't come with much support. On IOS you have your texts come in easily and you see them on your lockscreen, IOS has all kinds of apps like Weather, Clock which some Android Versions don't even come with. on android when I get a text all I see is a green light and it's annoying. It doesn't even light up my phone when I get a text, Android always makes like 5 different duplicates of a contact. MIUI did almost everything right. It provided you with many pre installed apps that you can use such as Weather, Calculator, Security, Calender, notes, etc. MIUI also had micloud which allowed me to text from my computer. The one problem with MIUI is that it doesn't support Group Messaging. And I know what everyone is thinking you can just download apps such as heads-up notifications and certain apps to change your lockscreen, hangouts that has support for Group Messaging. But that's the problem Id on't want to install 3rd Party apps that most of the time is laggy and doesn't work right. MIUI did lmost everthing right except minor stuff that is making me change again.
Now I know my post sort of became a rant on android and I'm sorry for that. All I want is a custom ROM that is different. If it's Stock sense that's fine. If it's like MIUI/IOS that's fine preferably no AOSP because AOSP has the least support of apps. I want a ROM that comes with many pre installed apps that the ROM creator made or that he partnered with an app on google play. So that When I get a text like the old Sense 5 where texts would appear on lockscreen(but it only worked with the provided Messaging app which was extremely laggy and disgusting) What i'm trying to say is I want a ROM that makes android SIMPLER, SO i'm not forced to close an app to read a text message or have unlck my phone just to read some notifications.
MY BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH ANDROID is that constantly everyday it lose connection to data. It ****** me of so much. I have to restart my phone just to get data again. It says I have 5 bars but it doesn't say LTE or 4g, and LTE is extremely slow on my android vs my moms iPhone 5.
Again i'm sorry that I went off-topic a alot. If no ROM has that simplicity I guess I'm forced to go to Android Revolution and download 3rd party apps. What apps do you guys recommend? I don't want it to look like IOS. I just want some of the features. What apps look the best(preferably material design) Like messaging apps or alternatives for Twitter or other apps.
Did I post this in the wrong forum?
I probably have terrible English in this post and once again i'm truly sorry!
Thread moved and closed.
"Best ROM" topics are not allowed. This is for a number of reasons, including the obvious huge variation in subjective opinions, which can quickly become out of hand.
As always, since you in the midst of a variety of choices, we suggest you try various ROMs yourself until you find one that suits you.
Thanks, and good luck in your quest.
I finally got around to installing the Lollipop OTA update yesterday and I've been going through some articles looking for new features. One awesome-looking feature is the guest user feature. The only problem is that I can't seem to find a menu item for this in the settings, nor is there the user icon next to the settings icon in the notification tray. Am I missing something or is this not a feature that is included in the Sprint version?
Perhaps a more relevant question would be, for those of you that have lollipop installed on your Sprint HTC One, do you have access to the guest users feature?
A simple yes by at least one person would let me know that it is a problem with my phone and not an oversight by Sprint.
Thanks!
I just talked to Sprint customer service and I was assured that the user account feature is supposed to be in this release. I was told to go to Settings -> Device -> Users. Unfortunately, there is no Device menu in Settings on my phone. Can some of you respond if you are seeing the same issue? Sprint is opening a ticket but I'd like to tell them that this isn't just affecting me, if that is the case.
I'll keep everyone updated.
Same deal here. I just installed the update and I can't find the multi-users feature anywhere. I have the M8 HK Edition
HTC does not include multiuser on any sense Rom. It's is included on the GE edition and u can use it in any lollipop Aosp and some KK Aosp toms.
