Installing CIME into Hero

Guys, I just found this CIME at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=512530&highlight=hero+cime
Was wondering if:
a. it will install onto a rooted Hero
b. if a rooted Hero will still be able to detect, download and install OTA updates
Advice is much appreciated, thanks!

I just rooted my Hero using this technique and confirm that it works:
http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/08/how-to-gain-root-access-on-your-htc-hero/
The new CIME is nicely installed, and that works well too. Now I'm just not sure if the phone will receive OTA updates. The only thing different is the fact that the phone is rooted.
Gulp.

Right. Thinking logically, since I rooted my phone by following these steps:
15. If the serial number and the word fastboot next to it popped up, then go back to the command prompt on the computer and type
fastboot boot cm-hero-recovery.img
16. Once the phone boots up into the recovery screen type the following in the command prompt on the computer:
adb shell mount /system
adb push su /system/bin/
adb shell chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
adb push Superuser.apk /system/app/
adb shell reboot
17. Once the phone reboots, click the Menu button and click Settings.
18. Goto Applications > Development and check the USB debugging on.
19. While the phone is still plugged in, goto the Command Prompt still up on your computer and type:
adb devices
You should see a serial number, which means the computer is seeing the device.
20. Then type:
adb shell
su
The phone should pop up an su request. Click Always Allow on the phone.
21. Type:
reboot
Logically, I haven't really changed anything else on the phone aside from:
a. copying in 2 APKs, one SU and one Superuser.
b. Setting permissions.
hmmm?

It does work, but with the IME I can only type simplified Chinese in Stroke input though (traditional Chinese is okay for Cangjie)
Now I'd be appreciated if I can get help of getting the attached "default.xml" into /system/customize/CID for displaying Chinese.

That is strange. Did you set TouchInput Chinese settings to use Pinyin?

I actually used the other method to did mine... but I think both ways works ^^

I installed the CIME on my rooted Hero with the method described in the linked thread, and it works like a charm.

[HOW-TO] Setting up ADB - The Tutorial For WINDOWS USERS...

SETTING UP ADB FOR WINDOWS USERS
The example shown in the video tutorial is running Windows 7. XP, Vista should run the same way.
1) Download the SDK program for your OS Here..
2) Download the latest Java Platform if you don’t have an updated version.
3) The SDK program will download in a .zip file. Extract that file somewhere easily accessible [like your desktop!]
4) You should now have a folder on your desktop with a name: android-sdk-windows
5) Drag that folder into the root of your HD…
The pathway should be something like: Computer > Local Disk ( C: ) > android-sdk-windows
6) make SURE to install the USB driver package in SDK... this way your device will be recognized when running adb commands later on...
Now that you have placed the SDK program there you can run ADB commands. But you need to run them Manually. Most people go into the tools folder and click adb and expect it to work its magic… you can stare all you want, but all it’s going to do it open a command prompt, run commands, and disappear. Now, don’t go “ZOMG I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO! IT WONT WORK!” …. Trust me, it will work..
6) Open a command prompt, go to windows start menu and click “search” or “run…” and in the box type: cmd and then press enter. This will execute the command prompt [terminal]
7) Now connect your Eris via USB. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE USB DEBUGGING ON!! If you don’t, go to settings < applications < development and check the box: usb debugging
8) Don’t mount your SD card yet.
9) Now you are almost ready to execute your first adb command. But first you must re-direct the path in command prompt to be your tools folder in SDK… this is what command should look like before:
C:\Users\YourUserName>
Now type in command: cd
But DON’T press enter… drag and drop the path from your SDK tools into that command line, so it should look like this:
C:\Users\YourUserName> cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
Now press enter. NOW your command prompt should say:
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
Ok, last part… to test adb type in command: adb devices
Now it should return something like:
List of devices attached
HT9ANXXXXX Device
Ok so now you can execute Adb commands. Make sure you always have your command prompt pathway set to SDK tools or it WILL NOT WORK! You can now also execute adb commands directly to your device from it’s shell by typing: adb shell followed by your command.
For Visual people here is my short Youtube video explain it all again... and here is my screen shot to show you what it should look like, pay attention to my command prompt.
Another example: Custom boot animation for NON-ROOT USERS.
1) Find / create a boot animation that works with the Eris
2) name the Zip file bootanimation.zip
3) place .zip file in SDK tools folder
4) Follow above instructions to set path in CMD to tools folder and connect your device
5) execute this command:
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
Feel free to PM if you have any questions... I hope this helps

adb
Could someone sticky this please?... and I think themes and apps is a good place for it..unless you think it belongs in general..

Help
I followed your instructions to the "T" everything worked but when I tried to push abd bootanimation command it says access denied is this because I don't have root? I am running on the 2.1 leak Version 2 OTA . Seems to be working fine for me. Although I wish I would have waited for root!! C'mon DEVS I'm pulling for you. Any suggestions?

You probably don't have the .apk file in the same directory as sdk tool folder
try moving it there and see if that works.

Prevent the Bloatware install during the Initial Setup

So we have all done a factory reset and watched in horror as the Setup Wizard loads up all the crapware that Lenovo packed in. Well now that you have Root and CWR, go ahead and do a Wipe Data and Wipe Cache, then Advanced ->Wipe Dalvik Cache.
Then when it reboots, go through all the initial setup steps until you get to that last screen that has the "Done" button in the bottom right.
Instead, touch the bottom-right corner of the screen to bring up the settings and go into Applications -> Development and enable Debugging.
Now:
Code:
adb shell
su
#mount -o rw,remount /system
#cd /system/app
# mv PreInstall.apk PreInstall.apk.bak
# mv PreInstall.odex PreInstall.odex.bak
Now feel free to touch that Done button and the wizard will close out without installing all that Bloat!
YMMV

This is a wonderful tip! Thanks
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

you can top it off a notch by going to /system/build.prop and change the setup wizard to optional
now, no more cheezy lenovo install screen and just the standard android setup wizard

explain how, I'm new...!

They just did.
Read the first post.
If you still do not understand then be more specific, what is that you do not understand.
What is missing from the first post is that after you enable Debugging in Applications -> Development, you have to connect your tablet to the computer, and you must have adb on the computer.(but this is kind of obvious for most people).
then from the shell you enter those commands.
In windows you open the command prompt by holding the shift key in your adb folder then right click with the mouse and choose open command prompt here.
than enter the commands from post 1.

Can we get a few screenshots?

1. This requires Android 4.4 - Samsung's Android version wasn't 4.4 and f0mey's null is 4.2.2 so it can not be installed
2. This is old. Dates back to March
3. It's only a launcher, so likely will not have any of the features everyone wants from Wear (Voice, etc)
I think you got too excited and posted this without doing it yourself.

Wearable widgets looks like a cool concept, too bad its only for Tizen for now.

simple solution is downgrade back to android, install null23, then install google launcher with now and you have android wear lmao very simple im running it now and everything works

Help
I did as you said, cmd keeps giving the error: protocol fault <no status>. after i enter in adb devices. any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

This will work with gear 2 Neo? I liked have a wear launcher

tizen
