Levi, I just bought my HERO last saturday and plan to flash WWE rom as per your instruction so that I can access to android market. I'm sure you might do some back up earlier. What type of app u used for back up? Is it NANDROID? I downloaded Nandroid but dont understand how to use it. I'm new to android. Do you know how to use nandroid? What should I do? install it on PC or phone? if phone, why no *.apk in it?

I found this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=459830 but dont know how to install.... Please advice.

Is it true that eventhough after flash to WWE rom and you can only access to free app only? Any idea why?

Many thanks!

Need sifu's help on digi setting. I know that digi setting can be google over internet. In traditional hp, setting for internet and MMS is set under different name, i.e. DIGINET for internet and DIGI MMS for MMS. But in HERO, it looks like that internet and mms setting is set up using one setting under one APN. So how do you set up internet + mms setting for Digi? I already flash the firmware to WWE, so all APN setting disappeared. Please help. sad.gif

No sir ry.

You can have different APN. I have my Maxis 3G Internet, Maxis 3G MMS and Maxis 3G WAP in different APN. I can surf Internet, send MMS and whatever as expected.

Just create a new APN for each settings.

Anyway, I'm ultra tempted to have Eclair now. However I think I'll wait for incoming 2.1 which Lox is working on it :-)

LEVI, seriously? I dont know why, I created separate APN for internet and MMS but only can use intenet. My MMS can neither received or send. Is it that I have to set somewhere in HERO telling it to use APN MMS for MMS or it will automatically know which APN to use?

6. Select HTTP and enter it and then you will find proxy address and proxy port. These are the most important part of setting up this GPRS/MMS.

Digi
Proxy address : 203.092.128.188
Proxy port : 80
Bonanno, I dont get it with your instruction No. 6. Where should I select HTTP (in my HERO) and enter to find proxy address and proxy port?


QUOTE(bonanno @ Dec 5 2009, 06:18 AM)
7. Now for MMS, navigate to the MMS messaging area and you will find MMS Settings. Select Server Profile and edit any of those with these settings :
DiGi

Profile : DiGi MMS
Homepage : http://mms.digi.com.my/servlets/mms
Data Account : DiGi MMS
Connection Type : HTTP ( Please refer no. 6 to input the proxies)
Proxy address : 203.92.128.160
Proxy Port : 80
User : mms
Password : mms

*
As for no. 7, could you please give detail instruction on how to find MMS settings (in my HERO) in order to select server profilew? I've been using HERO for 2 and half months and cannot send MMS after rooting.... sad.gif

Thank You!

i myself haven't try on the new Custom Rom MCR3.0 which are claimed to be faster and smoother than the old version by some forumer here. They are very happy with it!

Furthermore the new HTC sense 2.1 is coming very soon for us to upgrade our phone. This is really an exciting news for most users but so far no review available yet.

From the experience i have with this phone, Yes, the touch might not be as smooth as my fren iphone 3GS. but i'm running on MCR2.8. it's acceptable and doesn't causing much issue. If you are a heavy gamer, i think u should go for iphone instead of Hero. because iPhone should have more application at the moment. But who knows in the future what will happend. I believe Iphone do have it's own problem and i would say both phone would have pros and cons.

I will try out the new MCR3.0 and provide some feedback later. For now, need to wait for the others comment.

I'm a noob here. Could you share with us the link for MCR 3.0? Thanks!

I bought magic, just going to update to official ROM with sense ui, will post it back here if I manage to get the APN settings properly. The pdaexpert asked me to get the screen protector from digital mall, so I still don't dare to use the magic too much yet. hehe...

Download link for MCR 3.0 is http://is.gd/5eDUo :-)

Levi,

I already downloaded MCR 3.0 and Amon Ra Recovery Image ver. 1.3.2. Based on your previous instruction in this forum dated 24 Sept 2009, I need to install flashrec first, then Amon Ra ver 1.2.3. Do I need to install flashrec for Amon Ra ver 1.3.2 as well? If Yes, can I use the same flashrec version 1.12-20090909.apk or there is new flashrec? Or did you use Amon Ra Ver 1.2.3 to update to MCR3.0?

About the latest the radio ROM, I shall install it after flash MCR 3.0 right?

There are so many instruction on internet, and not sure which one to follow. Maybe you could share a link that u use to update using MCR that I can follow. I fully understand that I shall held own responsibility when flashing my HERO using MCR ROM.

For your info, I already rooted my HERO to European Generic ROM to enable market in October.

Google Android uses the ADB (Android Debug Bridge) to connect your Hero to your preferred OS.

Please see Shahaz'z thread...

At last, I managed to flash MCR 3.0 into my HERO. I was too excited until I forgot to perform NANDROID backup. Luckily everything run smoothly. I also did not perform wipe before flash ROM and that might explained why all my contacts, email, sms and applications were still there after I flash MCR ROM.

Thank you Bonanno and Levi! rclxm9.gif

Bonanno, TQ!

On top of new features, what I like the most about MCR3.0 is the type response during SMS, way much smoother than the generic ROM. (or maybe its too early to conclude! biggrin.gif )

Ok I assume you know how to get into APN settings, I have 3 settings there:


All these comes with my ori magic without rooting, so it should be correct. The digi internet is working though, MMS haven't tried yet.

I am interested to get something like that for my magic.

Are you still putting the phone in a pouch (I am not sure if hero comes with a pouch like magic) after you use this capdase casing?

Somehow I felt a bit insecure to expose the whole front out like that in my pocket. :|
*
no pouch since day one, only use screen protector and capdase silicon case. No scratch so far, maybe because I didn't put my phone together with any metallic object in same pocket! biggrin.gif

Elmi,

How was the camera performance in android 2.0? I read somewhere that 2.0 improve camera performance.

Did you manage to transfer file through bluetooth without third party software?

HTC tweet that HERO will be receiving update 2.1 early next year, so I suspect February 2010.
