I bought two black FlexiShield. Hard to get item must buy extra XD. Waited for two weeks already.

Edit: My FREE apps list

Aldiko - E-book reader. Awesome. Downloaded Sherlock Holmes novels. No need to buy from Kinokuniya haha.
APNdroid - Disable 2G/3G on the fly. Battery supersaver.
Astrid - Beautiful todo app.
aTrackDog - Check apps updates.
Automatic Task Killer - Kill apps at sleep.
ES File Manager - Beautiful file manager. The best UI.
Facebook for Android - Official Fb app.

Err. Will update later. Time to play some sports.

Hey Levi, i saw a post on xda-developers on you (Geochelone) advising how to enable to Android Market. You did mention that before flashing it a backup must be made. What software you recommend to backup with? Have you tried MyBackupPro?

Also, my current phone details are as follow:
Firware Version 1.5

Baseband Version 63.18.55.06EU_6.35.06.18

Kernel Version 2.6.27

Build Number 2.73.728.5

Software Version 1.0.0.A6288

Based on your post on xda-developers, would that backup be better than what i have above? Besides enabling Android Market, how about speed wise? The current one i have above is all good except that there are not many applications available. Please advise and thank you in advance.

Damn if you got an extra, do you mind if i buy it from you? I am worried about it as well, but i have so far never done any transaction with Ebay. Will pay modestly!!

My FlexiShield is yet to arrive :-(

naTTan, if you want mine I can consider :-) And congrats on rooting your Hero. Hoho welcome to the club.

pcwei, is Power Manager's UI nice?

Nvm when u got it just post some SS pls. The power manager UI just very normal but the function is very good and suit for me. this app got different power profile for u to choose. i mean when ur battery bar in yellow colour the app will auto turn to low battery profile. I tested this app...for normal use (call, sms, and gmail) at least can stay for 2.5 days.

i got 1 question, sometime i sms someone. i will received 1 alert msg, said the receiver unable to receive my msg.

pcwei, have you try hold the msg and click retry? And how to buy Power Manager full license?

I did reply many time.....still cant...dont know what happen. anyway not always, 10 times sms around 2 times is unable to send. I have no idea how to purchase full version, i only use for free version

I just emailed them. I asked if I can get the full version of Power Manager with PayPal instead :-) Hope to hear from them soon.

power manager is a VERY good apps!!! using it with my G1 now

I installed Power Manager, but the ads spoil the feel. And by quick glance the settings are pretty extensive. I was overwhelmed on my first visit to the settings lol.

The trial lasts for 30 days isn't? Or if I'm not mistaken for our Market (no access to paid apps) the app has no expiry date but comes with ads instead.

I am not sure this is 30days trial or what so. Hmm..i have been used for 1 weeks++ with no problem and feel very nice. Anyway, Levi, if u purchased for full version can u share with us, what is the different between free and full.

From its official website, http://www.xphonesoftware.com/pm.html#FAQ

What are the terms of the trial version? The terms are different depending on the country you are located in:
1. In countries were paid apps are supported the trial version has the profiles locked and the number of initial profiles has been reduced
2. In countries were paid apps are not supported, it is a fully functioning application that is supported by advertising. NOTE: the application will expire once a month and needs to be updated.

So if you are running Power Manager with ads, basically that's a full program, except that it'll expires every month and with ads of course :-) I don't know if uninstalling - reinstalling the software will reset the 30-day trial or not.

nyquil, sorry I missed your post :-(

You should backup with Nandroid when dealing with flashing and stuff. I found that MyBackup Pro doesn't fit my needs.

The only reason I flashed is the Market. I don't really care about the speed as I use original ROM for only two days :-) I don't really know the difference.

But so far coming from the g1 the only good backup program for me. was my backup pro. I just needed my calls and sms to be restored and it did a marvelous job. For full recovery i suggest nandroid still. With amon. ra recovery its easy.

i made a small bannerm feel free to add this to ur sig..

Nice sig.

I think we should request a subforum for android. And we should organiza the thread a bit by putting some relevent info up front such as users of the phone or OS and rooting method and tips and tricks.

I am using the generic rom with herp and wish i can have a2sd without flashing modacp rom. This is just like g1 all over again. Lol.

anyone hero here got ota 1.6 firmware? mine G1 updated oledi but the contacts got some bug.... eg. i have stored the number without the +6... when the call came in, it doesnt retreive the contacts that i saved....

Regarding of purchasing Power Manager with PayPal, this is their reply



Yay PM will be in my purchase list :-) Another paid app in my Hero.

Yeah if you can consider it, i would be mighty please. As of now i am holding it in a pouch.

Will you be putting the HTC with flexishield in a pouch also? Or are you confident lugging it around with the flexishield alone?

I was thinking of getting an invisbleshield instead with a nice protective cover if you can't spare the flexishield. But i never tested this invisbleshield before so won't know how good is it on the screen. Anyone have any ideas?

This looks classy, but too rich for my skin i guess. Haha

HTC one has a Android logo, but the volume rockers seems to be covered. =(

This site has a lot of Hero accessories.

I use IS on my NDSL. And I'd say it's pretty good. However, the skin/screen protector tends to catch dust. You'll end up with white-ish dust at its edges.

My last phone I put a screen protector, a silicone and I put it in a pouch. Well I guess I'll put my Hero in a pouch too :-) Maybe in a soft cloth pouch.

The one with Android logo is very nice.
