Am I right in saying that BT stack is built into 2.1?

[Guest Chris Jenx]

Am I right in saying that BT stack is built into 2.1?

From what i understand of Android is that the blue tooth, wireless, drivers etc is quite low down and is more attached to release version. 1.5 1.6 2.0 2.1 etc...

On that note, Blue tooth and WiFi in the 2.1 rom's are much better, but there isn't much Paul can really do in till HTC release an better 2.1 rom.

[Guest Bol2riz]

nOOb question but... I should rename to update.zip and apply update via the specific boot method (can't remember the name lol) right?

[Guest Paul]

You don't really need to rename nowadays, most recovery images let you apply zips of any name...

And no need to change .zip to .img too?

I have a few questions about apps2sd:

• The way to go is: boot to recovery, do nandroid backup, copy all files from sd card to computer, repartition card, copy files back from computer, reboot, modaco will do the rest, right?
  
• Will the currently installed apps move automaticly to sd card?
  
• If I do wipe, the apps will stay installed, right? But what about their configurations?
  

Thanks for answer.

[Guest onecino]

fast as a lightening! absolutely love it!! worth every penny!

[Guest bbawden]

Does anyone have firm info on when we can get Android 2.x for the Hero?

[Guest BandedHawk]

Am I right in saying that BT stack is built into 2.1?

The bluetooth stack is actually governed by the Linux kernel and low-level drivers inherent in the kernel. Android 1.5 was built on top of the 2.6.27 kernel which had the old bluetooth driver architecture - which limits the capabilities the application software can get out of the bluetooth hardware (limited bluetooth functions).

Android 2.x is built on a newer kernel which has the new bluetooth driver architecture (among other things). So be patient. :) Paul can only build a 2.x based ROM when HTC have something stable to work with.

I have a couple of questions: Will I loose my purchased apps on Market upgrading ROMs? Or are they tied to my google account so I can re-download at no cost?

Also I use Sygic Mobile Maps (car gps nav) and it generates a device id that needs to match the maps for activation. Will upgrading the ROM change my device id somehow?

[Guest Paul]

They're tied to your login.

re: sygic activation ID, i'm not sure!

[Guest Bol2riz]

Still can't download the new HTC Widgets. Still Install-Errors.

Any ideas?

BTW: since i tried Lox 2.0 Rom yesterday, some apps are missing from the marketplace. Seems to be the protected apps. Restoring a MCR3.0-Nandroid-Backup didn't fix it, MCR3.1beta also. Are these apps gone forever for me? Help via PN would be nice, don't wanna hijack this thread...

- thats the way to go.

- yes they will be moved.

- apps are kept, configs are gone.

[Guest franciswills]

Any chance you could explain a little about what your speed enhancements are? Purely out of interest. If it's been covered elsewhere please link me. Thanks a lot and fantastic work with these ROMs Paul.

[Guest Paul]

Duglin, did you wipe before installing MCR 3.1? I'm gonna put those widgets in the next ROM build...

Widgets install OK for me (whilst doing an upgrade from MCR 3.0 and from a clean install).

Strange about the protected apps. I had some go missing using MCR 3.0, I then tried Lox's 2.0 to see what it was like and they re-appeared. Now when I try MCR 3.1 they're still there. How weird

No, didn't wipe. Last wipe was on flashing MCR3.0.

[Guest Robert Davidson]

Everything working well, i'm still not able to install the HTC widgets either, last wipe was 3.0.

[Guest ritdaw]

Just subscribed, now downloading!

[Guest Paul]

Just building Beta 2 with a little more optimisation code and the HTC widgets in ROM since they seem to be giving some people issues too. I'm putting them on /data tho so they're easily overwritable with new versions!
