That's pretty much exactly what I have experienced. I had to remove FR last week to get back to my 2.1 build. Just flashed the 5/22, and it worked! That's probably not a good thing, though - now I'm gonna be playing with it instead of working. :)

Glad the downanim thing worked for you.

EDIT: Just took a picture! I know, I'm late to the party, but it's pretty shweet. Off to the kitchen... :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
Yeah it was the wierdest, I couldn't even nand restore 0.9.x using FR. The only things I could do was nand with FR my aospCMod, and no rat flash the 5/22. I don't get it. Maybe it's something in the ROM that needs to "allow" FR and it isn't in the test builds?

@thoughtlesskyle - I sent a PM to signals23 about his old 5x5 rosie, no response yet :) Also, do you know how one could modify the lockscreen clock or OS in general to NOT show a.m./p.m. ? Or maybe even take the lock clock away? I remember way long ago that was thought to be tied to the system clock and so deleting it killed the lockscreen and time in general, but that was long ago. Any ideas?

witch one is the best rom for me to try and us as a update. whats the most stable can some one drop a link please i think i can get my phone even closer to pair. got wifi working and it rebooted once with out the black screen:D im getting there.

EDIT if theres still trouble with MMS use mmszap thats what i did before and i use it on all roms sense im on alltel. i got this from the V8 sensefroyo thread

Next delete the http://mms.orange.co/uk from the MMSC box and add this: http://mms.sprintpcs.com leave the password and username blank then delete everything out of MMS Proxy and also the MMS Port Click the back button or hit Home and it will save the settings reboot then open Mmszap again to check if your settings stuck.

mms-sign.zip

MmsZap-2.0.apk

i dont use the mm-sign.zip just the mmszap.apk

[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
still working on it still have to select english i might just give up on it soon (going to try a few more things)

put the camera back the way it was i might need to move some libs over but i dont want to run the risk of borking it worse trying to fix it.

i likely will have something up before the night is out
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oostah:
cool thanks il duce
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Dynastes:
I'm not able to get the newest version of the Chinese rom to boot.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
So, I dunno if it's just my work comp, but the bootsound link keeps asking me to validate my windows? WTF...

Also, I could not even attach a picture using stock mms, it kept failing, must be the 300kb max in the settings :( So I am now trying with go sms pro, we shall see. I am using the mmszap.apk and instructions.

EDIT: sent out fine with gosms, cannot recieve...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
more info please... Like what ROM you were on, what recovery, FR, etc?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Dynastes:
I was Running one of the CM7 nightlies, I'm currently on CWM 3.0.2.8 recovery, and I was using fr, but used the removal zip before attempting to install this rom.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
uploading it now no luck with the camcorder (sense does stuff a stupid way)

or getting it english by default (weird it shows english then changes to chinese only to go to the language screen its really weird)

here are the changes i made

-removed bloat

-changed VM heap size to 32m

- JIT to fast

- wifi scan to 45

- added new bootanimation

- added facebook.apk and sense facebook from il duce post

- probably some other stuff i missed

did not put in the bootup sound (i test late at night so loud noises are not good :( sadly )

this port has pushed me way further than i thought, i wish i knew how to fix more things.

i might have a look at mms at somepoint i feel like it has something to do with the apn's in the framework (just a guess)

is everyone in on moving this to beta?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
Thanks for your continued work on this :) I think it is beta where actual ROM stability is concerned. But then not having mms, 3D, BT, and other stuff makes it more alpha-ish. I really wish nfinite would come back and pwn the code, that would be really cool. I will flashover whatever you put up just to see what happens, and again thank you.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
So you:

wiped data/cache/system

flash fr remove

wiped data/cache/system

rebooted recovery

wiped data/cache/system

flashed idogxx 5/22 build

rebooted?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Dynastes:
Yeah. It reboots to the boot screen then reboots to the recovery.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
here it is guys

download

give it some testing if i didnt bork anything into the OP is goes

also no FR is needed but you can use it if you want
[Hero CDMA Android Development] n33sirgp:
sweet! bout to flash from AOSP and try it out. Nice title on the .zip btw :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
I'm on 1x :( will grab it tonight though...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oostah:
do you still need FR,MTD with these?

thanks to you all involved.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] n33sirgp:
Thoughtlesskyle said no FR was necessary in his post w/ the update.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
not with the one i just posted, i slimed it down as far as i could

also everyone do me a favor, like HTC on Facebook and twitter and let them know how you feel about the lockdown measures they put in place. there is a big outcry on them now also if you are going to do it please don't spam it, just tell them how you feel.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TJinWV:
The removal zip didn't work for me. I ended up partmapping "mtd 170 130".

I just re-flashed recovery, which killed the rats.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Dynastes:
Thanks. I was able to boot it after re-flashing the recovery.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
OK this is weird, I guess at some point one of those edits worked, my market now shows "my apps" and not "HTC"... Oddly it is STILL version 2.3.4 and not 2.3.6 - weird.

@ TK - did you get market 2.3.6 in the update?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
No I did change some build prop lines that likely made the change for the my apps
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
I haven't DL'd the update, it just started working on mine, weird indeed. I'll flash the new one tonight or tomorrow AM. I work late :(

EDIT: found some unknown open wifi :) trying to DL as we speak, maybe I can flash before I get home :) DL complete, nanding now! Man I am a flash junkie. I think "mild_salsa" is funny, but "spicy_hero" would be funnier lol.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Coolaaron88:
This might be just me but is any one having issues making calls to anyone. Like you try to dial and then you see the "Call is lost" message. Every time Ive tried dialing I get the same thing. I can receive calls but making them gets me this error. I tried calling a few number in the 702 area code; same issue, tried calling a number long distance; same issue but I called someone who did have a 702 area code and it connected. The only difference is that they are on a GSM network and all of the other numbers I tried calling were CDMA numbers. It is the strangest thing.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
What build are you on?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
Ok so I'm running the update. I would only recommend you OP this if you cook in jm's kernel, and change the build number in the prop so it shows something other than idogx in about phone, lol. Also you said you didn't like the boot sound which is fine, but if you reboot with the phone on vibrate it won't play, just fyi. I'll keep running this and let you know what else I can come up with. I did already change the bp to 48 vm heap and flashed the kernel and font lol, among other things. Same stuff I posted about a couple days ago is working, same stuff is broken. Thanks again kyle.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Coolaaron88:
I am on Mild Salsa. Haha still an interesting build name
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
Well thats weird, I'll test calls tomorrow, it's past my bedtime lol.

Also, had anyone tested tether from the os on the latest, I'll test with the jm kernel tomorrow...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Coolaaron88:
Ok thanks il Duce, also thank you and all other Devs for your continued work on this. Night Night? xD
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TJinWV:
Downloading Wild Salsa now! Thanks again thoughtlesskyle! Work? What work? :)

Edit: Anyone else have trouble getting into recovery by powering off and using Home + Power?

After about 10 minutes, my 3G connection dropped to 1x. Could be a local network issue, I guess.

Still holding the carrier value (nTelos!).

No busybox?

Going to flash jm's kernel now.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
It has a reboot recovery option now, long press power, restart now gives a menu. I have busybox 1.19?

As for ev/1x, im pretty sure thats fine. Afaik most other roms only show 1x at really really low signal and sense roms show it at a higher signal. Nfx said something like that when he fixed it to show 3g on the last build he made.

Other stuff: wireless hotspot errors when checked on, and settings fc when trying to get in to hotspot. wired tether in OS is greyed out, I will try an app later.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TJinWV:
I bootlooped after installing JM's kernel, and of course I was cocky and didn't nandroid before (argh). If I get any free time this afternoon and my battery gets charged back up, I'll just cook it into the ROM and flash it that way.

I don't know why I didn't try restart. I think I just expected the reboot into recovery option on the main long press menu. *hangs head in shame*

I noticed when I went back to my 2.1, I still had 1x for a while, but now it's back to Ev (==nTelos 3G), so it musta just been a local network hiccup.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
Hmm, my calls work fine for cdma, gsm, or landline - incoming or outgoing... I would say rewipe and reflash.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
All versions of tether fail. Wired and wireless, OS or app.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ubnub82:
Looking forward to flash when I get home.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Coolaaron88:
Ok will do
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
updates from my post:

updates...

#4) all forms of tether fail, OS and apps

the list...

#3) mms outgoing works w/3rd party apps, incoming fails

newly found issue - needs confirmation...

I have been having weird sms issues, like I'll get a text and it shows up in the status bar with the text preview, and then goes away, and I can't find it in stock sms, or go sms. Anybody else see this? It could be the mms tweaking I've been doing, just want to confirm. TIA.

still needed (imho) and thoughts

-jasonmaloney #21 kernel

-optional bootsound DL link

-optional link to instructions for disabling downanimation

-install htc_ime_mod by jonas26? (5mb) into /data as part of ROM flash?

-delete the KB in /system to free up about 10mb?

Please check the sms thing y'all and report back. I need sms really bad so I gotta go back to aospCMod for now.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Coolaaron88:
Just reflashed and the call issue I was having before has been fixed so thank you for that. I can receive sms, I get the notification in the status bar and the sms is still in the sms application when I go to look at it so I'm thinking it might be because of some tweaking you did do. Hope that helps at all.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] alexthearmo:
Everything works fine when I first set it up, but after I reboot I get stuck in boot-loop land. Tried it twice with fresh wipes and fresh flashes....same thing. Will have to wait till this rom becomes stable. I'm excited for it. Good work everybody...hopefully the kinks get worked out soon.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Dynastes:
If you were using fr try re-flashing your recovery. it worked for me.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
what? I was about to ask what you changed and try to DL, and then POOF - it's gone... ??? :confused:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] danbula:
Same here. What happened? :confused:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TJinWV:
Sorry.

JM's kernel is cooked in. Also added back the boot sound. Changed a few values in the system/customize/XXX/default.xml files to default to en_US rather than, uh, whatever the chinese code is - basically just compared values with the values in infinite's 0.9.2 build. But something's screwy and I don't have time to figure out what. I rebooted into recovery to make a nandroid, and it looked like it was hanging up on data. I pulled the battery, and saw that the data partition in my nandroid was around 800MB, so it was looping on something. Then I rebooted back into the ROM, and the Sense lockscreen was gone. So I pulled my original post 'til I have time to look at it (probably tomorrow).

You have been warned. :D Here's the link: http://www.mediafire.com/?e0224oucoao3cl4
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Coolaaron88:
I wanted to know if you guys could put the news.apk in to this ROM? I love HTCs rss reader.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
It won't fit, the ROM sits right on 170, any more apps makes it too big. If it's an apk though you should be able to just install it like any apk, in /data. Try pulling it from whatever ROM you have it in, and then put the apk on your sd, try to install = success?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Coolaaron88:
Hmm well I try doing that. Also there is a Mirror.apk that can be removed at as well considering we dont have FFCs on our phones and it is just taking on space.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Dubbin_Irie:
Hey TK I get a random process.Android.acore force close will report other errors as I play with it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
you cant remove it on its own its part of the camera.apk, putting a different one in borked camcorder though so i left it in

Flashed Wild Salsa but gets stuck at the htc screen. Any idea why?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oostah:
i had that in other builds would run

adb devices

adb shell

su

fix_permissions

and it would boot up before it was done running

hope this helps

make sure you wipe good to first
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Dubbin_Irie:
No mms in handcent. Hopefully we can get it working would love more functionality.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
Outgoing works using go sms, just not incoming, what exactly didn't work with hand cent, is it the same as go sms?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Dubbin_Irie:
Yeah I believe so. I haven't tried outgoing but the incoming just hangs like it is trying to download and never does download.

OH btw decafuct kernal doesn't seem to wanna load up past the initial splash screen. tried that earlier cuz I would like to be able to jump to 729 like my phone can handle.

and also is anyone else having issues with maps? Mine won't even load at all just pops up with the whats new and then goes back to app list. =o\ really need gps working hope it does cuz I am still learning my way around the seattle area and have to get used to streets and stuff lol.

oh and where is ringtone delay? isn't it in build prop cuz i didn't see it there. wifi seems to be working better than CM7 for me. I'm connecting to a 802.11N router

and I do love how this gives me about 60MB of memory available :)

going through the processes now to find out what all is going on. OH autokiller notes quite a few new processes that I haven't seen before.

com.htc.cs:remote

com.htc.sdm:remote

com.google.android.apps.maps:networklocationservice

com.htc.cspeoplesync

these are service processes and I have no idea about them, though i haven't googled them yet to see what they are but maybe someone here can enlighten :)

anyways theres a bit about it. so far pandora can play and i have no issues there.

Haven't messed with BT, tethering, or benchmarking(wont be doing that either)

This phone does seem to respond better to this than 2.2 sense that was ported. Thank you for getting it this far. If you need any simple tasks on this done by all means PM me and I would be happy to do some edits.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tazzpatriot:
hey guys , i ported this rom to the eris also,,, not sure if anyone said anything but, if ur camera recording dont work,,,, adjust video quality,,we have to set it to 320-240 for it to work,,,

also , a question to whomever is working this rom ,, i see a few in this thread as im looking for answers lol op says led charge light fixed ,, ive tried a bunch of things,, any help ? mine still wont work in my port :confused:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
First, which version of the ROM are you on? Here's some info:

Decafuct #589 does NOT boot at 691, that's why you're splashlooping. You either need the 691 capped #589, the uncapped deca #43 (boots at 691 scales to 768) or jasonmaloney's fork (newer) of the #589 which boots at 691 and scales to 768, it's his #21, and I linked it in the thread recently. If you are on the build in the OP do NOT flash a different kernel, it already contains s0be AP5, and it needs to. Maps and GPS should work fine, but do NOT update them in the market (as stated in the OP), since this ROM does not have 3D textures the apps that require them will error (i.e. maps 5.4.0 or nav). Leave your processes be, the phone knows what it's doing. BT is broken, tethering is "iffy" on the OP build, and broken on the test build.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
Well, we don't have a for real "ROM dev" so to speak - unless nfinitefx45 comes back to help us, but there some experienced "tinkerers" around. We keep messing with stuff lol. The OP build is the most "stable" but the latest test build is a version of the salsa port from China made by "idogxx" and most things work well. Lights were intermittent for me on the OP build, but solid on the test build. We tried a direct port of sfm's sapphire ROM and kept getting cdma errors, that's when idogxx came in from China and helped out (China uses CDMA Hero) with translation help from old.ghost. We are now "further" so to speak. Since you are actually a "dev" (yes I am a supertroll) maybe you can help out? Using the latest port most things are further along than the OP, but some stuff needs attention. Like: MMS, 3D, tethering (both), BT, etc. Let us know how/if you can help. I can PM you links of the various builds and probably answer most questions, but I am by no means the most experienced one on here. If you want to talk with more "advanced" types, they would be: thoughtlesskyle (OP), TJinWV (knows kitchen), UnCoRrUpTeD (code freak), nfinitefx45 (ROM dev - helped a lot, but working on a diff. phone atm - evo shift).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tazzpatriot:
i fixed mms by adding apn to xml folder of framework res...also added eri.xml to same folder (replacing old one) to get it to say verizon ,, i think thats what fixed the no service lol ,, but try adding them to framework res xml folder

i have trackball light working softkeys ,, its the charge light thats not working
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TJinWV:
I think my problems were caused by my cache partition being too small. I had it set at 65 (for my 2.1 ROM), and bumped it up to 130. Cache is sitting at 74.9M right now. So my question is, how can I trim that down?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TJinWV:
Cool! I'll tear into framework res after lunch if I get some free time. I've been wanting to do a circle batt anyway, just been putting it off. :)

I know the charge light works (I'm looking at it now), but I don't know if the notification flash works? I don't really pay enough attention to the trackball light to know when it is supposed to work. :)

EDIT: Notification flash works too. Cool. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
So my guess is you're on a direct port of sebastian fm's ??? You gotta try the idgoxx ROM, there's a lot of stuff that just worked of the bat with NO adjustment. Like charge/notify/keypad lights (no trackball :)), camera, carrier, PRI, etc. Like I said though, a lot still needs work.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Dubbin_Irie:
@duce

I'm on kyles latest build. I'll scan for the kernal. Is there any way we could bump the boot speed to 729? Thanks for any help.

con greats man way to go all that hard work payed of man:D:):D:):D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
No, nfinite did that on the 0.8 build (maybe 0.9) and some people splash looped, there's a reason they all boot at 691.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Dubbin_Irie:
Yeah I understand. I can't complain this boots up so fast lol.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] scataldo721:
im kinda new how do i flash a kernel? does that go right after the rom? also any kernel sugestions?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] laie1472:
You flash a kernel threw recovery and yes after you flash the rom is recommend. But if your already running a rom and you want to flash a different kernel just boot into recovery make a nand then reboot. Then boot back into recovery and wipe cache and dev-cache and flash the kernel then reboot. The wipe of cache and dev-cache is just my opinion, but its not a mandatory thing. If your running mods like data2ext or firerats it differs on how to flash the kernel. And as far as a kernel to flash I believe I saw duce posted that he was using jm's 691 kernel and I think he left the link up a few pages back. Look for it dl it make a nandroid and flash away. Hope this helps.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
required otherwise the ROM will overwrite the kernel, because it has a kernel in it already.

bolded items unneeded, "dev-cache" should be "dalvik cache"

See my earlier note on dalvik, and true, this is agreed. Technically in most setups wiping cache wipes dalvik fyi.

FO SHO!

True.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] laie1472:
Its a short way of posting it the average user should able to understand it "dev-cache" and what it means. And I use ra so I always wipe cache and dev-cache oops my bad dalvik cache " roll eyes" And why would I need to see your notes on wiping??? And no in most setups cache and davlik cache are way different that's why its two different options. And I've flashed dec's kernel and jm's kernel without any kind of wipe and have had no problems at all. And what do you "bolded items unneeded" what's up duce????
