Very new to root and roms. I upgraded to 4.0.1 very soon after having 3.6.8.1.
What are some of the neat things you can do? What settings have you changed? I JUST found out that there was another keyboard other than the android touch.
I did not know where this was appropriate and did not want to junk up cyans rom thread. Hope this is okay and apologies if its not. Just want to know what other cool features I am missing out on, and to also see what settings people roll with.

Best way to get the whole story is to compare the changelog of 3.6.8.1 to 4.0.1 which is available in their respective threads. One thing that was cool was the global search function from donut but that go reverted in 4.0.1. It will probably make an appearance in the 4.x.x experimental series however.....
I should clarify, I did not have 3.6.8.1 long enough to find all the easter eggs either. What settings do you change or things do you use after flashing his rom?

Hey DirectMatrix is this going to be another thread like yesterday.
yeah i'd also like to know.. im also new to the art of the root.. i also have my own questions
i know the myfaves app doesnt work, in fact doesnt even appear lol, but the actual myfaves service still works right?
and do the im apps work? im talking about the native one. it doesnt seem to be working for me =/
also, i want my settings optimized for overall speed.. what do you guys use for this?

You don't want the mygayes app on your phone anyways, its just a hog. It still does work, if you need to set it up just go to your online account and do it.
What native im app are you talking about, its been to long since I had the factory rom installed. But I can vouch for aim and googletalk do work.
If you are on Cyanogens rom everything should be optimized to full speed.
yeah i never used the myfaves thing to begin with, thats why when i heard its gone if you root, i didnt really care lol. plus i was already planning on getting rid of the whole service anyway. but thanks!
im talking about the one that comes with the phone. has aim, msn, and yahoo. i try logging but it just endlessly keeps saying "signing in..". im not sure if i just have to wait, or if its not working.
awesome!

This is shaping up to be exactly like the thread from yesterday.
^ which was not the intention... I am fully aware of IM and MyFaves. I mean very literally, do you alter/change anything when loading cyans rom? I.E., turning off the android keyboard.

LOL, yessir. I'm trying to hold back. Who knows I might let one fly at anytime.
I guess I'll chime in. One of the reasons I flashed to this rom over an old roger's rom was for VPN. That and the sweet power widget.
Thanks again for the help yesterday guys.

Got start some where.
Direct and Supreme... you guys aren't really helping, so why post? I'm not asking how to root.... i've read the release notes.... I'm not asking anything I think is silly. I just want to know what settings you guys change and if there are any things you find particularly cool with his rom. I am embarrassed I just found out how to use the keyboard, so I guess you can pick on that... but please, do it over PM and not here.

Point taken...my appologies...Supreme and I like to keep things lighthearted and have some fun. I'm sure I speak for him when I say we both apologize for offending you.
To answer your question....I was pretty much being completely serious about reading the change logs and comparing. That's where I get most of my info but as far as settings go, I second someone else's poste about the badass power widget. I also like the 5 homescreen options, the logcollector app is nice for troubleshooting, the fact that the buld.prop file has been changed slightly means that the new version of "My Account" runs properly without any futzing around, and playing around with the text app is fun because of the mms enhancements courtesy of rgv151.
Many of the other enhancements that make cyan's ROMs awesome are behind the scenes that just make it run faster (kernel tweaks, CPU scaling etc). These have no options available to the user, they just are part of the build that contribute to cyanoganized awesomeness.

Just like Direct said we ain't tryna make fun or nothing. We do help out alot, but after a long boring day of programming at work we got to do something fun to help pass time away. And hey we really didn't even joke around unlike the other thread. Best thing to do is just play around with the phone, try out all the apps, play with the settings, and just explore. Like Direct said alot of things are behind the scenes.

Hi everyone im new here to XDA and just got a quick question
I flashed Cyanogen 4.0.4 rom and everything works amazing!
only odd problem I have is that when I lock screen I see Rogers (operator name)
twice! really odd....
example
ROGERS
ROGERS<-----------this one never changes
-----------
Time/Date
some help with this would be greatly appreciated!
guess no ones gives a flying F***.....thanks...
ill try another rom then....
I dont want to sound like a mean idiot but, youre gonna try a new rom just because of that? How often do you study your lockscreen? If your gonna change roms just flash again id say and see what happens

Honestly I had the same issue on my phone. I flashed 2 other phones the exact same way and they did not have the same issue. Pisses me off. Its the reason I moved to Hero ROMs that don't give me the issue.
Can any of these themes posted here work with the HTC Hero?
Who knows what is what right now. This subforum is a GIANT MESS right now. Every OP will have to go back and specify which theme is for which device. This was a foolish idea to mix everything up like this! BAD IDEA.....

I completely agree the three previous comments.
please put it back the way it was!
this is just a giant cluster f**k now (which will get worse once more android devices come out i imagine), even when/if all the OP are updated to specify which theme works for which ROM/phone itll still be a cluster ball and a lot to scroll through looking for ur specific ROM/phone
and im sure there will still be posts in the thread asking if this theme works with so and so phone/ROM or port to this phone or that phone because it is all mashed together.
wishfull thinking: please make themes again randum, ill give u my comp
not really but ur themes were my fav :]

Well, ROMs are device specific and all the themes list the ROMs which they are build for.
So why the need to list the device?
yeah man. its a real mess.

i was just thinking it might be easier for some people to just scan for HTC Hero (or whatever device) instead of glazing over the diff build numbers and names, but u do have a point
kinda redundant i guess huh lol
the thing that bugs me is that its just all lumped together
kinda lame to have to scroll through a buncha stuff that doesnt mean anything to me to pick out what does
p.s. just flashed android stock 2.0 *thumbs up*
WHere do I get HTC Hero themes??
Are there any out there... seems to me all the good themes are for the G1
Help Please 7 months later and it's still confusing..
it's impossible to porting this g1 themes on hero?
i really like a lot of themes for example darchstar but i can't morph it on my hero!!
I can't create themes but for me the images on framework-res are similiar on all devices
-sorry for my bad english-
It's only gotten worse for the hero. There is the gsm version and the cdma ones. There is also 1.5 and 2.1 out plus the custom roms such as Fresh and Modaco. Haven't seen a theme for this yet.
Go to the Themes subforum for the Hero. You are not going to find metamorph themes or very many flashable themes, but you'll have several options to apply ROMs with themes already in place.
If all else fails you can create your own by pulling files and packaging them up as a theme you like. Be sure to give credit where it's due.

This should definitely be closed. The OP never replied, and this is way off track..
But.. If you DO come back to check this thread..
The only ROMs that I know of that work with an overclocking app would be
Fresh Toast v1.1
DarchDroid v2.5.1.2 (not sure about this one though)
or maybe DarchLegend OC5.06 (He hasn't updated in a little while though, so I assume he is working on something big. )
If you come back with some actual info OP, we could help you.. otherwise..
Either way, this thread should be moved.

Well a simple question obviously causes a lot of frustration in people. If it bothers you so much tell someone who can move it, otherwise move along.
Yes this question should have been posted elsewhere, but obviously this person is fairly new to this whole "phone modding" thing... and forums.
So we can either ***** about it like we were never so inept, or we can be adults and try and help them. (also keep in mind the forum structure just kinda flipped recently)
Back on topic, everyone else has asked the right questions, what ROM you are using (if any) will determine the right answer. You gotta meet us all half-way, but Jugsy seems to put the best answer to the vague question.
Any current ROM other than those will not work with overclocking apps.
Did a *#checkin#* (just for shyts n giggles) now I get an update notification every 5 mins and it's getting very frustrating how do I stop/disable the notification... I am rooted therefore I can not update via the ota..... PLEASE HELP!!!!
I just go ahead let the phone go through the update. It will fail with those no signature message. Just reboot and it stopped bothering me for the update.
No need to apply, just reboot the phone.
I rebooted my phone and it's still nagging me. is there another way? thanks

Well if its asking you to update to 2.3.3, then lots of people here are waiting for the files so they can manually update, as Google haven't put them on their developers site to anyones knowledge. Plus people can then get cooking with the files you provide.
So be a dear, upload the files. Please!

You've got to give him some credit... I've never seen some one pretend to get an OTA, that everyone wants, in such a clever way. Normally it's more like this, "YAYY!!!!!

I can give some credit for that

sooo a guy with over 700 posts here doesn't realize that this isn't the g2 forum, somehow gets a g2 update, when I'm almost positive there are none being released currently (or ever for the g2) on the day that the n1 happens to have announced that is coming out and people are foaming at the mouths to get it?
and I'm supposed to feel bad for him reanimating a year old thread from the dead, with a vague non working solution to a problem he prior didn't have?
I'll stick with my thoughts on the matter, thanks though.
