I think what he's trying to say is that while your posts offer the correct direction, they lack in clarity and readability. I certainly wouldn't know that you meant "dalvik-cache" by "dev-cache", as "dev-cache" sounds more like "/dev/cache" (the mount-point of your true cache partition when using cMTD's bind-cache script) than what you intended.

Your posts would be more valuable if they were more succinct. You state that the user should boot to recovery, create a nandroid backup, reboot, and once again boot to recovery before flashing the kernel, as well as wipe cache and dalvik-cache. Duce was pointing out that the two aforementioned reboots are unnecessary: All the user needs to do is boot to recovery, create a nandroid backup, optionally wipe dalvik/cache, and flash the kernel.

Once again, it's obvious you know what you're doing, so please don't take this critique as an attack on your information or character. But from the eyes of an inexperienced user, your posts may be more confusing than helpful sometimes.

I have been trying the Wild_Salsa sporadically and had a weird thing where I basically lost my super user permissions. It started after messing with Titanium Backup and the drop box issues. I couldn't even switch to R/W in Root Explorer.

I have had a random reboot that stuck on the bootscreen and bootlooped. That was a couple of days ago. The above happened this morning. Maybe I need to check the partition totals.

Reflashed "Green Lantern" recovery (3.0.2.4 CWM) and no Firerat's for this trip. I think I'll try it out once again tonight and see what happens. It might just be my phone.

This Rom is fun Sense
[Hero CDMA Android Development] laie1472:
The boot into recovery and prefom a nand and then reboot is good practice for making a nandroid. I've on more than one occasion have had trouble restoring nands made without rebooting vs nands made with a reboot. Usually a good sigh of this is one or more app force closing or apps missing from the app drawer but still being present in the application manger list. This is based off my personal experience so that's what I give advice on. Its true the steps are not needed to have a successful flash but they in no way can cause a problem either. As for the dev-cache I've used this abbreviation for quite some time when I give advice to new members and I've had not one ask me what it meant. As a matter of fact duce and you are the first to comment about it. You state if you were a new user you would not know what dev-cache meant you would think it was dev/cache/ the mount point of the true cache partition. I ask you how would a new user know that??? If you were a new user and you new that I would have to say you would not be a new user. Although your point is relevant its without merit because I've had not one user I've helped ever ask me what it meant. And I fail to see how such and advanced user as yourself can see thew the eyes of a new user?? I mean understand yes because we've all been there but its pointless to speak on what a new user will or will not understand especially with the massive amount of information available for the user here on xda. And I take no offense my information is true and if something is true, it is just that. My advice is always given from experience and I always steer the user I'm trying to help in the safest route and I always monitor the thread incase there is confusion about my advice. Take no offense Jm to my post I ask, this is just my opinion.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
False. It does nothing. This would ONLY be necessary if DURING the recovery session you are in you have flashed something new, or modified something in your last booted ROM session prior to your current recovery session, and without a reboot inbetween to lock it into the partition.

I was really trying to do 2 things, one was help YOU (even though you are obviously no noob), the other was to clarify for noobs. I have been meaning to tell you about dev cache for a LONG time and I keep forgetting, but yesterday I remembered. No offense was meant, you are a big help in the q+a section, so I figured I'd try to help you help others :) All is well. XDA FTW, see new sig :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] laie1472:
Duce my fellow xda member this does does not help me at all. What were you trying to help me with??? Im aware of what dev-cache means. I believe you were more posting for the new users. But as I've posted prior to this you and jm are the only two members to comment on this. I've also searched the xda threads for quite some time after your post and jm's post. And I fail to find even one member who has ever posted any kind of questions,topics or threads related to what the meaning of dev-cache was. Also to what you posted "false" to. Is not flashing a kernel something new??? I fail to see what a user may or may not have changed prior to the current recovery session has anything to do with flashing a kernel. If you will share with me your take on this I would appreciate it. Because I posted my advice with the fact in mind that user just asked how to flash a kernel. Not lock anything into a data partition. Your offer to "help me" although a kind intention indeed is just that, an intention. Youve helped more than enough users and are a great benefit to the hero community. But your advice will be asked from me directly if I ever needed it. As I have done before.

I've been running my modified version of wild_salsa_jm for about 24 hours now with no issues (calls, camera, google voice & talk, web browsing, FB), and it's still holding carrier. Oh happy day.

I don't have a text plan. I use Google Voice - only SMS, no MMS. I would guess it would be the same as the original wild_salsa.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
If this is of any use, I did try the mmszap.apk that oostah posted, and followed his instructions. I then also filled in using TK's instructions from a few pages back. Neither worked for incoming, but outgoing worked on all versions of tweaking.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
Well specifically a kernel when flashed (at least ever since zen made anykernel) actually rebuilds the boot.img during the flash so no reboot in necessary. And whoa cranky. PM me if you wish for further discussion, sorry kyle :o
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
its alright i was going to tell you 2 to knock it off but looks like that sorted itself out
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
alright guys did some digging and used an evo shift GB rom as a base, and i have attempted to fix mms

there might be more work needed this was just a quick throw together before work

THIS IS ONLY FOR MILD_SALSA or the version TJinWV posted a few posts above.

attached is a flashable zip

1. BEFORE YOU FLASH IT NANDROID, no complaining if something gets borked and you didnt make a backup

2. report your findings, i am unable to test it as my hero is completely dead (low batt kind) and i couldnt test mms if i wanted to because my phone isnt active
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Drunkpilot:
Kyle, is this for the Wild_Salsa buildor any of the lot couple floating around? Sorry, no coffee yet.

Edit: meant mild salsa. 1st sip.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
Hey sprint came back after a reboot, then went away again :confused: WTF. Also, after that google voice is working.

I changed the build prop VM heap to 48m and everything seems to run much smoother, and so far without side affects, we shall see.

Also, I remember when I was booting this up I was watching the log in ddms, and it kept giving me a CDMA error incorrect value (or something like that). I am sure that has something to do with this whole sprint/no service deal. I can't adb at work, so if someone felt like rebooting while running the log in ddms and then putting up a pastebin, it would help determine if we can fix it, otherwise we're "throwing spitballs" as pstevep put it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jurellz:
OMFG It seems like theres nothing wrong with this it run so smoothly and chrisp ! Havent Seen Any "No Service" (cellular south) very good. shows (cs) on lock and dropdown.

EDIT: i stand corrected it says no service but there is.

if im late or not figured out how to change from military to 12-hr

Clock--->Local Time Settings---->check "Use 24-hour format
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pstevep:
All i did was take out and change a few things concerning WiFi in the build.prop.. I think like you said with the cdma errors that there is some gsm crap in there screwing with us.. I have seen some littered about, I'm going to search through and try changing/removing some of it.. I will let you know what I see/do.. I will be away from a computer for a while..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] shortarm:
Here are some more screenshots for those interested. I really like the update sense look and the notification dropdown.

Everything was fine for me making calls and sending text messages.

I tried the Market and it worked fine.

I couldn't get wi-fi to work.

I tried wireless tethering and USB tethering with no success.

Has anyone tried restarting? My Hero was getting all laggy and well, Sense-y, so I went to reboot and it totally failed. Got a black screen for a while. Pulled the battery and re-booted.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
try mtd 200 100 and see if it boots better. The /system is almost exactly 170mb, so she fits in there really tight, give her some space.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] shortarm:
I was on 200 100, based on your previous post.

If I go back to this rom (I am back on aosp right now -- need the camera), I might boost it some more.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Nilxchaos:
Jeez the "sprint" seems like aosp's screen on and off animations... Could it be more finicky?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
Not necessary, 200 100 is plenty. I wonder what the issue was.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pstevep:
I am giving up for the night. I have been searching through files and adding lines here and there.. so far nothing has really changed but will evaluate again tomorrow..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
Yeah I'm getting frustrated too. In logcat it gives incorrect cdma level over and over. Also had some repetitive surface finger errors, some repetitive warnings for a sim card, and some repetitive warnings for other stuff. But those three are the ones I think causing the carrier issues. Also when you try to start wifi it always gives the same errors. Something about tiwlan0, and cannot start supplicant daemon. I can't remember but there ready to see. I have been using an app called catlog, and set the log level to warn. We should get kyouko in on this, I'll pm him.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TJinWV:
I ran this for about 30 minutes with the correct service provider (nTelos) displaying. Then I received a call. After the call, it now shows No Service. I also noticed when the call came in, it said 'null' in the upper left of the incoming call widget where it usually has the provider. So it looks like that is the point when the service name changes.

Also, a couple things I found:

/system/customize/MNS/default.xml contains defaultTimeFormatSetting and defaultTimeFormatSettingShort, so you can change it to month/day rather than day/month.

/sustem/customize/CID/default.xml contains defaultTime1224 so you can remove military time. It also contains deviceData/device_name (currently HTC Magic) that you can change to alter the value shown in About Phone->Phone Identity->Model Number.

A couple things I noticed in build.prop:

ro.product.board=sapphire <- this has been heroc in all ROMs I have paid attention to.

All sense ROMs I've seen have had the following lines in build.prop (even my stock nTelos ROM):

#Welly_Fang_01/05/2010
ro.cdma.home.operator.numeric = 310120
ro.cdma.home.operator.alpha = Sprint

gsm.sim.operator.numeric = 0
gsm.sim.operator.alpha = 0
gsm.sim.operator.iso-country = 0

Hope that helps a bit.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
Ha, I posted that recently. I went and changed all if those a couple days ago and it didn't work. I haven't added those last 3 lines though. I'll try that and see what happens.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TJinWV:
Sorry, completely forgot about your build.prop. Shoulda taken a look in it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pstevep:
thats some of the stuff that i am looking at currently.. and ironically i was looking in a 2.1 sense rom, and they have that line with the device name as the HTC Magic.. so thats weird..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
Yeah I even found and altered this same xmls too with no luck. I just put in those gsm=0 lines and will test.

For the wifi I also edited /etc/wifi/tiwlan.ini where it said adhoc=0 to say =1 and that didn't work. Then edited /etc/spn-conf.xml where it had spn override there was a carrier alpha and numeric, I put in sprint and 310120, which also didn't work. Whats really odd though is the xda app somehow knows I have a hero, even though about phone still shows a magic.

Back to testing.....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pstevep:
well i know, that we have changed it to hero in most everywhere that apps and things look for device labeling.. we just have to figure out where it is that the internal system looks.. because i know on the CM/aosp roms everything that we have changed i have changed to say random things for kicks just so it will show up in different places.. unfortunately i havent messed with sense to this extent before, so its like learning it all over.. there has to be some rhetarded file somewhere that changes all of this crap..

EDIT: also in the root of the phone its got some files that are init.goldfish.rc, init.sapphire.rc, and init.rc.. i tried replacing the init.sapphire.rc with the init.heroc.rc from another rom but it keeps deleting mine and creating it anew.. but the hero version seemed better suited to our phone..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TJinWV:
Not sure what they do, but in /etc/permissions there exists android.hardware.telephony.gsm.xml. In my hero ROMs, there is a corresponding cdma.xml file.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pstevep:
well i just moved that file over and its rebooting, so we will see if that helps..

EDIT: no change as of yet. still "no service". but it didnt replace the file so thats a plus..

So decadence helped me with some stuff for mms I will tinker with it when I get some time
[Hero CDMA Android Development] someonenewhere:
in the mean time if you use Go SMS Pro ..

Go into Settings>MMS Settings>

Set Maximum MMS Size to 1.2M

Fill APN Configuration manually: make sure it's checked

Then just fill in

MMSC: http://63.215.195.152/servlets/mms?X-SPRINT-MDN=(10 digit phone number)

MMS Port: 80

and there you have it, you'll be able to send attachments through Go SMS Pro (might work with Handcent and Chomp SMS)

Thanks ThoughtlessKyle for the fix! why? because it was a fix he used in another phone thread LOL...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
can you receive though? I was able to send mms as well, just not receive....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] someonenewhere:
well I wasn't able to send out at 1st, but after doing that it worked...

didn't test the receiving part.......*FAILED* lol

Possible MMS fix

@il Duce Don't wanna be a pest,but from what i've read with a couple of the mms fixes i've tried and worked,here they are. Sorry some of you guys are gonna have to test this because I've moved to a different phone and can't test myself.

These are the same fixes I applied to nfinite's v8 back when and just tried and worked on the OMGB rom before jaybob worked his magic.So if ya feel like givin it a go.lol

MMszap was created by hyriand over at htcpedia I take no credit at all, I just get lucky once in a while "like a blind squirell finding a acorn once in a while" lol

1.First copy this zip file below to your computer and extract it some where or you can copy it to your phone and extract it.(It is the proper APN's for the mms services.

if you copied it to your computer move it to your sd card.

2.Now with a file manager go to system>etc>apns-conf.xml(set to R/W because you are going to be moving files) and rename it to something like 1apns-conf.xml,now go back to the fxml file you extracted and copy and paste that apns-conf.xml file in system>etc . Now change back to R/O and back out.

Now install the mmszap.apk and change the settings in it to match these for which carrier you use.

<apn carrier="CDMA" mcc="310" mnc="120" apn="0" port="" mmsproxy="" mmsport="" mmsc="" type="default,supl" />

sweet i have the apns-conf file i needed now, i need to put that in the zip and a copy of it into the framework and make sure the apn level is set 8, i likely wont be able to put it out as an update it will need to be baked into a new ROM, and data will need to be wiped in order for the fix to be effective
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
initial tests are going well, i feel my next version will have a deccafuct kernel instead of the JM one, performance on the JM one is great but it seems to bork the camcorder (records part in normal color part in a pixelated purple and green)

but moving the mms stuff over went well ( i cant test sending and receiving but it did allow me to attach an image to a mock message)

just giving everyone a little update
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pstevep:
just my two cents.. but Deca's kernels have always been better camera wise IMHO.. not compared them to JM's that much, but in general they have always been more stable overall camera relation wise.. even in s0be's .35 the one that Deca posted when they first got the camera to work was more stable than s0be's version.. i dont know for sure what he did to them (never looked that far in), but they were always better..
