I have organize all the music, ringtone...etc folder in the media folder.
i'm able to get all the music mp3 after i copy the mp3 files to the SDcard.

Hi, i have bought my Hero for about a week now... So far I love it... but still trying to explore the Max potential of this android device.

I check around the forum & I realise a lot of tips on how to root the Device... is all Very Technical for me!! it sounds to me..without rooting etc.. it will not works well.. Im not good with programming all those... so please bear with me I only know how to install/ unistall normal application. whatever Background things i really dont dare to touch.

I think i have no problem following instruction in flashing the rom.. BUT I DONT REALLY UNDERSTAND WHY DO I HAVE TO DO THAT?

what benefit can i get from doing that? so far im happy with the device... just that my phone doesnt come with the Android Market... the applications available in SLIDESE all kinda useless.. and very little.

Maybe I found a reason why I need to root my hero? can any1 give me more tips on this?

I added some question and answers that u guys asked as some more FAQs about PapagoX5

Added the following

Q: Will it connect to the internet when connected to a computer?
A: No, unlike WM, it does not do so. But you may set up a adhoc connection to your laptop.

Q: Does PapagoX5 works with MFM maps?
A: Yes, get the X5 version and paste it in the "maps" directory in the SD card

Q: How much does PapagoX5 cost?
A: Online shops sells for 2280 NTD or RM 200+ Rumored to cost around RM 150+ locally.

Q: What is a ROM?
A: A rom is an image, kinda like a photo that contains the necessary data to run phone. Also referred to as Firmware or OS

Q: So, why do people say I need to flash it?
A: Its like changing your phone's clothes and may gain abilities such as Root Access, Android Market, Cool themes and they are generally faster than the originals.

Q: What is flashing, it is dangerous?
A: It is not as dangerous as it used to be, there are now two to three layers of protection if something goes wrong. However there is still a chance that something will go wrong but that is like 1 in 100000 chance, if you followed the instructions correctly.

Q: How come I don’t have the Android Market?
A: Units from some countries such Malaysia, Vietnam are replaced SlideMe market, which is a inferior version the Android market. To get it refer below.

Q: What do I have to loose when flashing to a custom ROM?
A: A wipe is needed, means contacts, sms will be gone (you will need to backup and restore after flashing)
APN settings will not be inside, you will need to enter it yourself
When claiming warranty, you will need to flash it back which some people may consider a hassle.

Q: What is APN?
A: It is a set of settings that is used by the phone to connect to the Internet using 3G/HSPA via your telco (DiGi, Maxis, Celcom). Also need to make MMS work.

Is it really it will be faster than original ROM when you root android and put mod ROM inside ? How can that be ? Some people says that kinda lags when you scroll the screen after apply-ing the mod ROM.. And also how to install flashrec.apk into htc magic when malaysia htc magic does have market to install linda file manager like in the website http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/29/how-to-ro...c-in-one-click/ Any help to install it using other file manager ?

rooting won't make it faster, modded roms do. On why they are faster it is because they have some optimizations in the kernel and in the rom to speed it up. If that is so, regarding why HTC din't do the optimizations, I suspect they will not risk their reputation on non-matured (newer) software, plus the more stuff u add, maintainace will get more and more difficult.

Without the file manager, u can use the browser, refer to the htc hero rom tutorial on the 1st page

Thanks for the information...

The modded ROMs will make the device faster but if during the mod process something we did wrong then it will be laggy right. And not all ROMs are fast right.. some are a little laggy ??
I also wanna ask. This rooting tutorial http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/29/how-to-ro...c-in-one-click/ . Is it capable of rooting all HTC Magic SPLs ?
And also how do you unroot the rooted and modded ROM for HTC Magic ?
I also wanna ask what is pre-installed inside the HTC Magic when purchased ? Does it have youtube app ? Can the HTC Magic watch youtube ?
Can we update the HTC Magic from android 1.5 to 1.6 officially ?

i think we should start including APN settings in this FAQ for easy reference. Or is there somewhere in LYN forum that already has the list?

Hi, MaggieMee. I just want to know where to get the ROM which can support chinese(simplified).

All roms support the viewing of almost all languages(except hebrew,arabic), for the input method, you can download google pinyin from market.

If i upgrade to "3.0-update-hero-modacocustomrom-core-signed", do i need to apply the "2.8-update-hero-modacocustomrom-core-chinese-signed"? i am a chinese user. Another problem is, i never wipe my Hero during rooting, will it occurs some side effect after that?

the 2.8 will override the 3.0 stuff if you do so.

Thanks, MaggiMee. Now my build number is " MoDaCo Custom ROM 3.0" but i still feel laggy. The internal phone storage i left is 93MB. After rooting, suppose all application will install into my SD card, yet, why my internal phone storage is that low?

I don't feel laggy with it though, no, it will still install on the device, to install on the sd card, you will need to format ur card to ext3

hi MaggieMee, may i know is there any setting for digi 3g or edge for htc magic to surf net using 3g or edge?

Regards.

hi devil86,
u may go to digi web site www.digi.com.my and look for the setting there by going into the support.

Hi,

I wanna ask that Htc Magic only have original by SIS warranty right.. there is no AP set right ? lets say my htc magic is from with ROM Version: 3.03.728.4, can i like download the HTC sense rom from http://www.htc.com/sea/SupportDownload.asp...cat=2&dl_id=757 using my serial number to have the rom with market ? or only if you have singapore htc magic ROM Version: 3.03.707.5 only you can download htc sense rom from htc singapore .. serial number and IMEI is different right... what is the difference between htc magic original ( SIS warranty) and htc magic AP ?

The hardware is identical. The only real difference is warranty this assumes that you flash into a custom rom (which is generally better).

Under APN set these...........
