Yes I've not been able to install firerat, I do the first steps and reboot recovery, try to install rom and I get:

E:Can't symlink /system/xbin/su

E:Failure at line 74:

symlink /system/bin/su SYSTEM:xbin/su

Installation aborted.

After the first failure I increased mtdpartmap.txt to 225 100, still fails. so I don't think its that.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
Hmm. Thats a root error. Maybe try reflashing your recovery (wipes out firerat) and then flash cm7 (contains many things for root) and then set up firerat with that rom. If you still get errors I would suggest you ruu and root using the adb method, there are links for those in my q+a links thread.

EDIT: It seems oostah had the same root issues *I think* so try following his suggestions below, using clockwork recovery, THEN try my suggestions here if you still get errors.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oostah:
what recovery are you using.

and are you wiping data/cache/delvikcache

flash FR recovery

wipe it agian reboot recovery

from advance when you wipe dalvik reboot recovery is at the top

flash rom

flash FR boot

reboot

i use to flash boot and recovery back words alot.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
and wipe /system.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oostah:
im going to be come Duce's stalker!!! i learn a lot from you and get to laugh my a$$ off at some of the things you say.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Bierce22:
in the future is there anychance of getting tmos theme chooser to work on this sense its gingerbread because that would be pretty sweet lol.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Houndog101:
Right now cwm v2.5.0.7 , but I have the issues with v3.0.2.4 also..

I always wipe, like the instructions say, I even tried formatting boot,system,date,cache etc. I've tried rebooting recovery from the advance menu and also from adb reboot recovery. results are the same.. I'll ruu etc and adb root and try again..No problem, I love this stuff...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oostah:
i use 2.5.0.7 two. and i no what you mean.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
I would say probably not. AFAIK the frameworks (that get themed by TC) between AOSP and sense are very very different. So getting that to work would take a god-like level of coding knowledge if I'm correct. Also afaik TC is built to theme AOSP, not sense. BUT, there are these things in sense 2.1 called "skins" that are sort of the same idea. I have seen about 5 total around xda. I dunno where you could get them, or if you install them whether they would work, but it's a similar idea. Also, the next ROM will be odexed, which means faster, but not themeable (unless you use a "skin"). So I think for a little while you'll have to be happy with basic customization like the 2 skins in the ROM, wallpapers, widgets, etc.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oostah:
have you seen they got 3.0 sense Rom working.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] pstevep:
I'm going to be honest and say I have no clue I have never used the dev tools on here..

Sent from my... wait.. what..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
ok so do it then :p open the app, click media scanner, then scan, what's the command line say?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] XDA-Dev-Knowledge:
POSSIBLE BOOT TIME/MINOR LAG FIX

Note:

This is still the OP's kernel, just changed things a bit (removed unnecessary things from init files, changed init files so that their contents are more along the lines of what the heroc needs).

(Worked for myself & Sharing is Caring)

- Replace OP's boot.img with attached, in the OP's .zip

- Re-zip

- Wipe & Firerat's

- Flash

[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
I thought you said you were done posting in this thread
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
@ ALL - ^^^ that is kifno. Most of you know this already. Mostly I am just letting you all know. I think since his "fall from grace" I would suggest against flashing his work. It may work, but it would literally HINDER the development of this ROM since we don't know where the work came from originally or what is hacked, and since he is NOT part of the "team" so to speak. Most importantly, see below:

We do not need a faster boot time hack, the new version in testing is odexed (as nfinite said earlier in the thread) and boots like a champ. There are still other bugs being squashed by nfinite so it isn't ready for primtime yet.

Be patient, the sexy is coming :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pstevep:
When I open dev tools and click media scanner this is everything it says..

Sent ACTION_MEDIA_MOUNTED to trigger the media scanner

Media scanner started scanning /mnt/sdcard

Media scanner finished scanning /mnt/sdcard

Does that help? Or is there something I'm missing??

Sent from my... wait.. what..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
hmm, nope that didn't work. I tried:

su

ACTION_MEDIA_MOUNTED

and it said no.

I guess that app "media scan root" will have to suffice. It wasn't for me, oostah was looking for a fix, thanks bro.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pstevep:
No problem..

Sent from my... wait.. what..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pstevep:
Honestly I thought boot speeds were rather good and wasn't that laggy really.. i'm going to dl and take a look at this to see what's different file wise, not flashing..

Sent from my... wait.. what..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
Yea why would he list what he did then he would have to explain where he got it all from. Odexing will make boot times alot better
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Bierce22:
yea the boot seemed about on par with every other rom it just didnt have a boot animation witch freaked me out at first lol.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
I put in a bootanim made by "cypis" which is pretty sweet, it's in v3 on the first post.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pstevep:
Truth.. it looks good.

Sent from my... wait.. what..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
No more bottom lights :)

OK so this might benefit *some* users like me. I literally HATE the button lights on the bottom of the screen, escpecially the trackball. Thanks do good 'ol aospCMod (from when the lights did NOT work) I remembered the "LEDs hack (root only)" app on the market, just grabbed it, allowed SU, selected phone (HTC Hero Sprint 2.2), selected TURN OFF, and boom, no lights :) Hell, it might even fix the notification light .... hmmmm ....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] XDA-Dev-Knowledge:
Its pretty simple if you have a kitchen. Extract the boot.img then changed the led permissions a bit, bluetooth permissions, and the kernel's latency values to 0.6ms and 0.3ms.

I'd like to make it clear that the source of the changes came from cyanogenmod 7 official. The latencies values came from my knowledge of the linux kernel. I just posted something simple that I knew wouldn't cause any bootloops, fc's or any problem of some sort, that could help with getting LED's to work and bluetooth to work as well, IF AND ONLY IF when nfinitefx45, il Duce, and thoughtlesskyle couldn't get the LED & bluetooth working even if they did go through the long process of pushing and pulling different library & binary files. So I just eliminated the boot.img from being the source of the LED & Bluetooth not working. But not that I doubt they couldn't of figured that out themselves because they are more than fully capable of doing so and I have full faith that when sexiness gets here, you'll all be amazed. Once sexiness is here, please don't use that boot.img from before that is just for the time being. Just trying to and will help where I can in the heroc forums, I'll mostly be checking q n a every now and then, but other than that, I'm on the search for a new phone.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] Bierce22:
dude can u please just stop causing drama enough is enough man come on.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Bierce22:
enough of that... back on topic.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Yes please,even tho I know where you are comin from.:cool:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oohaylima:
Good catch. Another program that has this built in while also giving you complete number adjustment of your brightness level, is called ''AdjBrightness'' (Root Required)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
see this is why you cause problems, and nobody wants you around. You make it sound like the community did not exist before you even though we were getting along just fine, instead these are MY custom tweaks when they are not yours, you make yourself sound like the best dev we have here when all you have done is KANG everything. Also apparently your words and promises mean nothing since you have hopped into this thread twice now after promising you would not. and then when questioned on what your tweaks actually were even you had no idea it took jaybob in your "kifno"gen mod thread to tell you what you actually did and then everything turned out to be removing apps, pulling out ringtones, putting in somebody elses battery tweak, and putting in a hardware driver that is the same as the one that was already in the build

your name is mudd around here, if you would stop posting and making yourself sound like a real developer on a high horse maybe people would like you a bit more. when you made your "gingersense" rom you lead people to believe that you had actually done something major and you didnt. leave this thread to people who are trying to help further this ROM

I'm not a Dev i am i guy who reads a lot and got lucky that this worked, i will tell anyone that. But if you were in my shoes you would say that you bent the laws of physics to make it work on our phones which is simply not the case.

In some cases i havent found you to be that much of a pain like others but as of late its really gotten on my nerves. I try not to make a scene about things like this but lets be real here, and when even i am saying something about how much of an annoying pain you are it really speaks volumes. STICK TO YOUR WORD THAT YOU WOULDN'T POST IN THIS THREAD AGAIN. you have started enough problems in your own thread and i dont need to take time out of my day in order to post a message like this. YOU PM'd me asking what i found so annoying about you and this explains all of it. Also since in your signature you said you don't want PM's i am saying this here.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Houndog101:
What is the right recovery to use with this rom?I've ruu'ed and adbed root..:)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Bierce22:
the current cmr from rom manager works fine for me.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Houndog101:
After all that, started from stock, i still get the same error with firerat when i try to flash the rom,

E:Can't symlink /system/xbin/su

E:Failure at line 74:

symlink /system/bin/su SYSTEM:xbin/su

Installation aborted.

maybe its my phone..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
I wonder if you flashed the binary somebody else uses if it will fix it
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Houndog101:
Well,I try anything, but I was not able to use firerat with other roms as well. BTW,this all started because I was not able to su when I had this rom installed w/o firerat.. It looked as if I was'nt rooted.. other then that, the rom ran fine..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oostah:
thanks guys still no luck. ugh
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oostah:
mine did the same thing i have a update su binary on my sdcard that su put on there becouse it could not update its self. if that would help.

do you have a backup of this rom. if so i got firerat working and it fixed the no root issues i flashed the firerat then restored my backup flash the boot. it kinda acted stupid so i rebooted from adb. and its been good sense except the music file.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Houndog101:
Hmmmm, thats worth a try, I have a backup,, thanks man.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oostah:
be back in 20min to see if we can find out some thing.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
Edit on my assumed success with button lights. It failed.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Houndog101:
I'll install fr and backup..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oostah:
did it work?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Houndog101:
just finished, when I booted after some time it came back to recovery and said

"E:Error in Cache:recovery/log

(no space left on device)

mtd 225 100 is the setting.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oostah:
are you S-OFF?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Houndog101:
No, Im pised off ,,,,LoL,, Not really
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oostah:
i understand that. i use to get them errors alot. do you have a recovery you can flash. or a backup that you can go to rom manger and flash your recovery again.

hold one sec i want to see some thing
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Houndog101:
This was a backup of this rom.. I ruu'ed , rerooted, and reinstalled recovery,,reinstalled firerat, etc.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] unCoRrUpTeD:
Do this..

adb shell reboot recovery
adb shell
mount /sdcard
echo "mtd 225 50" > /sdcard/mtdpartmap.txt
exit

Wipe data/factory reset

Wipe dalvik

Flash fr-recovery

wipe data/factory reset

wipe dalvik

adb shell reboot recovery

Flash gingersense

Flash fr-boot

Reboot
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oostah:
lol the calvary. hay UC he has had this with all roms he tries firerats on
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Houndog101:
will do uncorupted..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
@oostah this is just grasping at straws, but have you pulled all your music off your sd card to your computer,then made a new music folder then opened the file you put on you computer and copy your music then put it in the new folder on you card and see if that works? Sorry for the bad grammar and punctuation but in kinda of a hurry(wife's gonna give me a massage,WOOOOOHOOO)bye:D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oostah:
im taking notes lol some day i hope to growup to be the gingerbread man with some sense.:p
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oostah:
cool info fdx will give it a go. i had this with pics on the V8.5 sense i just renamed the folder and it worked.

but your idea should do it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] unCoRrUpTeD:
Something must not be working right.

After flashing fr-recovery do

adb shell mount /system
adb shell mount /data
adb shell busybox df -h

Check and see if everything has been changed.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ssojyeti2:
Fight!Fight!Fight!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] unCoRrUpTeD:
Sorry I'm quoting myself. Hit the wrong button.

I had issues when the mod first came out. You have to make sure everything is wiped. Also, just flashed fr-recovery and fr-boot 1.7 with this rom last night. Been running it since last night, but really need some of the functioning back.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Houndog101:
My laptop just quit, no sdk tools,, I need to fix this now,, I'll do what you said as soon as I get adb working again,, Thanks a million guys...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oostah:
houndog did it work what happend?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Houndog101:
fr-recovery-v1.5.3-customMTD-s.zip ?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] unCoRrUpTeD:
Yeah, It should work too. Actually, just looked. It was 1.5.8, but a lot of the updates are on adding more support for more phones.

You should check partition sizes before flashing a rom, but after flashing the fr-recovery zip.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oostah:
i hooked phone to usb and got a message asking if i want to cheek sdcard for errors so im running it wounder if this could be some of my problems.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaybob413:
This is a simple request to please stop posting things that make changes for the sake of making changes, and provide clear definition and explanation of any changes so that they can be vetted by others in the community.

The boot.img that you posted is clearly not entirely aligned with "what the heroc needs", as it tries to work with things that do not exist on this ROM. What "the heroc needs" is thoughtfully and carefully designed and tested changes before posting. When someone posts "The Answer" without understanding what "The Problem" is, we are depending on chance and coincidence for our solutions. Some people know enough be careful and prudent, but others do not. Proliferating cruft is not really "sharing" and certainly not "caring".

It would also help the mood and tone of the community if you would not make claims that indicate that you have done what others couldn't, when there is no grounding or background for those claims.

Perhaps now that you no longer have a heroc you can refrain from posting "improvements" that are not.

When someone needs gas for their car, and you run up with a container you found in the garage that looks a bit like gas, and you tell them this is "the best gas ever", they may be disappointed to find out that it was really old cider. Particularly if they put it in their car.

I would explain what is not aligned with "what the heroc needs", but I am certain that your "Knowledge" already covers those areas.

To the rest of the community, I apologize for the interruption to meaningful conversation.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Houndog101:
I had to reinstall sdk on my laptop.. working now.. I'll try what was posted..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Houndog101:
Yes cache, system and data changed..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] unCoRrUpTeD:
Wipe again then flash Rom and fr-boot.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Houndog101:
Ok,doing now
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TJinWV:
This is set in /system/customize/CID/default.xml - I noticed it in infinite's first release.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Houndog101:
That worked, first time out of many tries,, booting now.. WOW, HFC...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Houndog101:
Booted fine and have 2X's the free mem. also root access works now, thanks

unCoRrUpTeD , oostah and duce.. hope I did'nt forget anyone...:)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
I reminder changing that at some point lol. I forgot where it was, damn xmls. Thanks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] unCoRrUpTeD:
No problem. Glad you got it working finally. Now its a waiting game.

Just rememeber that you need to either flash fr-boot after flashing a new Rom or flash the remove zip or flash your recovery again.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oostah:
way to go man. i would go back through the thread and copy every step down that you did for the future. it will come in handy.

now thats a community working together to solve a problem.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Drunkpilot:
I know there was a TE command that was used awhile ago that I believe jaybob had posted:

su

Killall media server

After that, I think people started going with the Rescan app after an aosp post. I still use Rescan from time to time. Dev tools has a scanner as well. I don't know which is the best fix. You have some options if you ever need to use them.

Osama Bin Laden wasn't S-off. Flashing IS a gateway drug!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] unCoRrUpTeD:
I can't check my xda pm's on the app with this rom. Haven't looked to much into, but wanted to put it out there.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oostah:
ok will try if moving all music off the card and making a new folder dont work.

EDIT i just had a first. i disconnected the usb and the phone went to sleep i hit menu went to drag down the lock screen and it was stuck i connected the usb back ans i could see the usb icon and debug icon at the top. so it was not froze i had to adb reboot to get in the phone i tried every button before i adb rebooted.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Houndog101:
Yes I will, what fun..You guys are the best.. Thanks again..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
The killall_mediaserver was to fix youtube issues with playback, not like media scanner at all, fyi.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oostah:
some how i lost all my music i open the file and the album art is in there but no mp3 mp4 no music. not sure what happened or when. i found my media player is not working on my vista ether its here but i cant open it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LiquidSolstice:
Anyone using this as a day-to-day yet? I'm talking about those of you who live on the edge ;)

I really, really want to use this day to day, but I think I'll hold myself back a little longer. Patience with NFinite's work ALWAYS pays off :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pstevep:
I was using it as my daily but I needed my camera for something so I am back to aospCMod until either the next release or I don't need the camera.. its reliable enough for daily use..

Sent from my... wait.. what..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Bierce22:
cm7 +adw sense theme will hold it together for me, for awhile lol. until a few more bugs gets worked out.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
I am. Since the op. I went back to aospCM for tether for a few hours, but I've been on it for a few days. I keep making system adjustment and breaking **** though lol. go check my what works yesterday post and see if your cool with it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TJinWV:
I've been running it as a daily since Thursday. I don't have all my apps reinstalled, but I have enough to keep me running. Daily phone calls, google voice texts, emails, internet browsing, facebook, and my wife played a few games. I put pandora back on it, but haven't listened to music at all.

Edit: Just fired up Pandora. The display was a little laggy, but it played fine.

The stock music player worked also, and found all my music.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wjason:
I have been using as my daily since early last week. Learning to live w/out bluetooth, camera, and navigation. I am really liking the overall sense experience and can't wait to see what is yet to come.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Bierce22:
i just love the new resised ppl widget.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] Brickster:
I guess Ima get on board with this as soon as I catch up with the thread.(I'm on page 5...LOL) I don't have many skills to offer but I can TEST and REPORT....

My name is Brickster, and I'm a Flashaholic..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] unCoRrUpTeD:
I've been running it since friday. Aside from what has been mentioned, like camera, Bluetooth, and navigation, it runs pretty smooth. I like some of the new features that HTC has added like when moving the cursor in a text field it pops up a magnified portion of the text. Battery hasn't been too terrible.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
Just an update

ok Gps is now functioning, working on bluetooth now. We shall see how it goes
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ssojyeti2:
I can also test
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Houndog101:
I've been using it since it was posted , No real problems and now am running firerat with it, thanks to corupTed , oosath and Duce. My Dad always said, "Give credit where credit is due"
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Houndog101:
Thats great news, as a lot of states now have hands free laws and I love this ROM, its a keeper.. Thanks nfinite..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ubnub82:
I know that HTC Hub is going to be in the stable Rom but what is it exactly?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Brickster:
Ok, so I assume all the build.props and the updates throughout the thread that worked have been compiled into 0.5.v3.zip? The one in the OP?

Nandroid

wipe all and flash accordingly w/FR

Firerats at 200/100

Anything else that I missed?

I'm fitna give it a test drive.....

EDIT: Dang! Amend Scripting!!! Forgot to downgrade CWM..............
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pstevep:
you got it.. all the updates to this are in the v3.. except what nifinites working on, its not ready for primetime yet.. but if you do firerats just like that you should be good.. give it run.. i think you will be pleasently surprised..:D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
The hub is like htcs combo of an app store and theme chooser in one it also allows you to use htcsense.com, download skins, wallpapers and sense apps
