Hi Nattan,

i've done nothing with the hero yet. no market etc.
i'm going through the forum for the rooting.

personally which rom that you used?
if you used modaco, do it needed to update the radio rom too?
do the contacts or saved data lost during the process?

cheers.

I first used the generic pre-rooted rom. But currently change to Modaco, since he has been doing a bit more with the kernel and speeding up the ROM. Other then that, because i prefer to have my roms running out of the memory card which cannot be done with a generic pre-rooted rom.

I still have not upgraded my radio, since i find that i get good signals with it, and some people especially in the UK prefer to use other radios since they claim that it has better connection.
I would say this is a matter of trial and error, if you find there is nothing wrong with the radio, then stay with it, if you find a problem then try changing.

My contacts are all synced with my google hence i don't worry much about it, but i did use MyBackup Pro to save my sms and call logs.

Hope that helps.

Try clearing you cache, especially browser and stuff. Those are still left in the main memory.

turning off wifi really work? hope they fix this with the 2.0 updates

I heard that it is a more serious problem then that. Apparently this happens mainly when you jump from one cell tower to another. I myself don't use bt so won't know, but apperently it happens when you go from one cell tower to another.

Anybody here know how to backup places in Footprint? I made several footprints and would like to have them in safe. I personally use Sprite's and I don't know if it backs the footprints.

i am sure the save the files on the SD, try making a nandroid back up, wiping and open back footprints. I actually don't use it much and just delete the apk.

You might want to directly ask Celcom/Maxis/DiGi is you wanted to know about data plan & rates. I believe that's the best way to educate ourself about those things.

naTTan,

I removed (according to Paul's features list):
1. Jbed Java
2. Notes app from Dragon
3. android-wifi-tether 1.60 pre3
4. Andrew Schwimmer's WiFi Status indicator

All HTC default apps are intact. I might go another round and replace Peep with TwitterRide. Mostly because Peep's bland interface and icon.

Edit: OK I removed Peep completely by adb shell rm /system/app/*Twit* as suggested by Paul.

Update: OK this maybe just a placebo. I feel my Hero is faster without Peep and its widget. And I saw this

That seems about right,

I have removed,

HTC Stock.apk
Android Stock.apk
HTC PC Sync.apk
Peep and Peep Widget apk
Andrew Schwimmers Wifi.apk
Teeter.apk (since i have the full labyrinth)

Haven't remove Jbed and Notes and since i am using tether, won't be removing that. What does Jbed do?

I was wondering if it was possible to remove the launcher.apk since we have rosie running on top.

In regards to the Celcom/Maxis/Digi discussion.

Digi is offering great prices, but 3G connection is limited someone right? Unless you are planning on light usage then i guess this is the way to go.
Celcom has great coverage, and for some time i was thinking of jumping over, but since i am a Maxis user i rather stay on this telco.
Maxis data packages has several variety for data, and rather then limiting the speed like Celcom, you get 3G speed with all packages with different badwidth cap.

The only biggest drawback is Maxis is an ass for not having any Android phones.

naTTan,

About the Stock, do you remove DCSStock.apk too?

Edit: JAC at XDA suggested this http://is.gd/4X9wr. And http://is.gd/4X9QR and this http://is.gd/4X9So

Edit: Well I removed Stock with adb shell rm /system/app/*Stock*
*
Yeah removed both stock and the widget as well. What does the java app do?

Hmm most of them had no problems removing the launcher apk. How come we don't have odex file?

Hey guys, i am using villain rom 6.1 currently.

@bonano

Did you disable or uninstall rosie to get launcher pro working or you just have it as your default home?
If so why not install superdroid ?

@Levi

does the stock android have nice facebook integration?
