v6 supercharge and the v8 tweaks have given new life to my Hero. Screen responsiveness is definitely better, and apps load and run quicker. Overall, the phone feels snappier and 3g surfing and downloading run smoother. If you're gonna keep your Hero for much longer you should give it a go.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fredrick1213:
I've used the v6 supercharge (w/o v8 tweaks) about a month ago on CM7 but in my experience it made apps load quicker but sacrificed performance in day to day use. This is why I am hesitant to try it out again with the v8 tweaks on my current OMGB ROM
[Hero CDMA Android Development] genuser:
Anyone seen the new market (V3.0.27)? At least I think it's new. I setup my phone on JB724 last night. Twice because I screwed up the a new Google Voice question and didn't realize that I had to log in to fix it (changed my phone to always be GV#) :eek: The second time I setup, ~45min later I get this new market even though I flashed the same 6-13 gapps. I assume it was the updater that did it, but pretty darn fast.

Downloads really quick, but hate the UI. Now loads painfully slow, has a books, apps and games sections...:mad:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] JeffW8:
Thanks for the warning! I'll definitely try to avoid it for as long as I have my Hero.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] JeffW8:
Ok, I set up V6 Supercharger. I'll try it for a couple of days and see how it goes.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] fredrick1213:
It will not update to the new WP7-like market for me. Only way I can get it is to install it manually.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 24601:
I've not noticed any lag in day-to-day use, just the opposite. But, everyone's device is different, especially with the Hero. YMMV.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] waqasr:
+1, My hero is much more responsive and snappy!! I recommend V6 script!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fredrick1213:
Okay, I'll do a backup and give it another go then. Hopefully my experience is better this time around.

EDIT: I just installed the scripts and all seems to be well. I do, however, have one question. Can I uninstall busybox and script manager now that I have the scripts installed?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] JeffW8:
You can definitely uninstall script manager, but I'm a little fuzzier on the details for busybox.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] JeffW8:
Found out a few hours ago that mine updated automatically. During lunch, it was the old Market, and after I got off the train, it was the new Market. I had no idea when it upgraded.

So far, I don't seem to mind it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 24601:
Congrats on taking the plunge. For added performance, check out the v8 tweaks at post 1125 and some new mods at post 1780. You can uninstall script manager and busybox if you want, they are not necessary once the script has taken. However, if you ever want to change your settings, or verify that your settings are still in place, or have to reinstall the script, you will need these apps again (at least you'll need script manager). You are better off leaving them, they don't take up much room . . . but to each their own. Lemme know if you notice improved performance. I've noticed a dramatic increase.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fredrick1213:
Thanks for the advice. After installing these additional tweaks I've actually noticed a performance increase this time around :eek:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ch1naski:
Do not uninstall busybox.. It gives you extended commands in terminal emulator. It's also used by Titanium Backup. If you have firerat or plan to do the mod, you'll need busybox to check partition sizes (df -h ).

Hey all I think im running a really old PRL and I need to update but I cannot find a step by step as to how to do it.

I have the prl file.

Does anyone know how to update a PRL?

Thanks in advance
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dastin1015:
The best way is to backup what you have now, wipe, flash a stock ROM or a ROM based on stock, them update your PRL, then restore your backup. There is a way to do it with a dialer code somewhere in the Heroc General Forum.

1) Get yourself on a Sprint/Sense ROM PRE 2.31.651.7 (this is key...as Sprint removed the manual PRL update option. FWIW, I used Fresh)

2) Download the XXXXX PRL file

3) Copy the downloaded PRL file to the root of your SD card

4) Dial ##775# and enter your MSL code when prompted for password (if you don't know yours, get MSL Reader from the Market)

5) Press "Update PRL"

6) The PRL file should be listed in the bottom half of the screen (you may have to scroll up)

7) Select the XXXXX PRL and press OK

8) Press MENU and then Commit Modifications

9) Phone reboots and you should be updated.

Super Circle Battery Mod

I'm having problems getting into the Kitchen right now, I was looking to cook up a Circle Battery for this ROM. Looking to make the move from aospCMod over to here, but I really like having the circle battery. If anyone has one great, if not and I'm able to get into the Kitchen at some point I'll post mine.

Thanks.

so exactly what steps did u guys do for this "v6 script" ? I've tried it and I don't notice anything o_O maybe im not doing it right lolz
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Drunkpilot:
The v6 supercharger makes this already great Rom that much better. I went to try a new build of the ginger sense variety, but when I got stuck in a boot loop trying to apply the tweaks, I said screw it and came back to JB. I still can't tear myself away from this rom for more than a few hours. J haven't done any nav experiments yet.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] silberj:
+1 Drunkpilot, I am not on JUL 24 yet, everytime I flash that, the market won't work, but I do have the V6 applied to the prior release and love it. I tried the 3g and kernel script, but then lost connectivity (calls would just go to my voicemail), so I need to figure that out, but otherwise, love the V6.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 24601:
Have you tried the 7/24 build with the 6/13 gapps (bottom of the page)? Since JB synced with the latest cm settings, I have tried to use the most current gapps. My market has worked fine. YMMV.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] silberj:
I've tried with a couple of different gapps including 6-13, it may just be me. Still working on it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Drunkpilot:
Are you using firerat's? It sounds like a firerat's gingerbread problem. I'd you are, use version 1.5.8 and either bump your cache up to at least 18 or do the s0be market fix that can be found in the " read me" section of the aosp/cm7 thread if not other places.

Battery life nothing, 3g is much faster.

Super Circle Battery

Here it is for anyone who is interested. I'm using the .29 kernel, so not sure if it will work with the .35.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] silberj:
Not using firerats, but thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PRGUY85:
Can it hurt battery life due to increased 3G performance?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 24601:
I've been running it for a couple weeks now and battery life has been about the same, if not better. We've goosed our heros so much, I'm not sure any 2 will be the same. I strongly encourage you to try the tweaks. If they don't work you can always delete them.

Sent From my Transformer TF101, tethered with my Jim Thorpe Hero.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Tibson:
If anything it'd be better, the increased performance means there's a decrease in time loading pages and content, so less time spent draining the battery. I just meant there's no inherent tweaks in the script for battery life. It's entirely possible it could positively affect battery life though, as 24601 said.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bravo1565:
I am trying the 3g tweak but has anyone tried the Kernal
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PRGUY85:
What settings did you use? Currently stuck on the 1-17 choice.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 24601:
Other Hero users report benefits with either 6 or 7. I tried 7, but seemed choppy to me. 6 was good. Try them both for an hour or so and see what you like.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] youdug:
6 is what i use too. i use the 3g mods too and i definitely noticed its faster. if anyones using the kernal mod please post on here your results.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bravo1565:
I choose 7 I think because when I choose 6 it would say oops try again
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 24601:
youdug, I am using the kernel tweaks found at 1125, along with the U9 tweaks found at post 2050. All is well.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] silberj:
Everytime I apply the 3g tweak with this rom, it knocks out my calls, i.e. My phone won't ring anymore. All I get is a missed call notification. Eliminate that tweak, calls come in as normal. I have no idea why.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] youdug:
You see any improvement? Didnt read too much into it yet so im not sure what it all does. Also, im using wildheroc right now, does the stock sms still keep the phone from sleeping like the old sense roms?

Won't boot

Hey all, I've searched and nothing comes up for my particular situation.

I'm on AOSP's 5-23 build. I used to flash a bunch, everytime he updated, but since he stopped devleoping for the Hero I stopped, plus with school and other things I lost intrest. Now that I'm bored again, I wanted to try the newest thing. I tried this, but it won't boot for me. I tried the CM7 nightlies, same thing. Goes to the HTC screen and gets stuck.

I had firerat's mod on here. Before I flashed anything else I used the remove zip he has and deleted my mtd txt file. I then procceded to flash after completly wiping the phone. It won't boot. Thought maybe it was the download, tired again, same thing. Thought that maybe this might not be compatiable with my Hero, so I tried the CM nightlies. Same thing. I thought I broke my phone, until I was able to go back to AOSP's 5-23 build, which flashes and boots. I also nandroid which it'll go back to.

Maybe it is the kernel, I don't know. My phone is one of those "select few" (I heard) that can boot at 768 MHz, so I didn't suspect the kernel or the boot MHz...

What am I missing? Thanks ya'll
[Hero CDMA Android Development] anthony_s:
I make it a habit to reflash my recovery before wiping and flashing a new ROM. Reflashing your recovery will eliminate the firerat settings. You can give that a try.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vestaviajag:
Is there any benefit to flashing the newest Clockwork? Or should I stick with the version I have? I think it's 2.x something.

I want to make sure that my nandroid backups will work, and I think I remember reading a while back that if you upgrade Clockwork 3.0.0.x it won't read the old nandroid... of course I could be WAYYY off on this. Sorry to hijack the thread.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dastin1015:
The newest ones which are the 4.x ones have some commits in there to alleviate user frustration by showing you what you are wiping during confirmation, among other things. The newest ones I have compiled and posted have the nandroid problem fixed. Idk if it will restore a 2.x backup though.

Everyday I'm shufflin'!

OK trying the v6 script and the 3g Turbo and kernel big improvement but today notice that I couldn't play Pandora something about Java anyone have any clue how to fix this
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Drunkpilot:
What did it say about java? Could you read it?

I haven't tried the tweaks on 2050, but everything else works great. I tried some build.prop edits before that caused me some lag. My phone is running the best it has ever run. I don't even want to flash any new roms at this point.

There is a new build posted in the OP. This is a rebuild after sync with AOSP/CM sources, along with some minor cleanup.

Just when I get 2.3.3 running smooth, here comes this .4 bidness.

One other question... when I was running AOSP 2.2 I was able to still use Sprint VVM no problem. I tried installing that on .3.3 FAIL. I had to re-flash the whole thing, ROM, full wipe etc.

Thanks for all the hard work!

thanks Duce, I dont have issues with recovery (except some random md5 mismatches on restores) but if Im running FR and I do want to flash a new recovery (Im still on 3.0.0.5 :p) either in hboot or from adb, do I have to redo the FR process? If so what would be the order. If not, what? just flash and re-boot?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] raz699:
Yes, if you flash a new recovery you have to redo FR from step one. I had to at least.

Update Posted - 04JUN

Update posted to OP. Sources synced with AOSP/CM repos. Kernel updated to 2.6.35 variant based on a combination of CM/s0be/riemervdzee/aurora/... sources.

This may cause some issues with the camera, particularly if your minimum cpu frequency is set too low. I am currently using 352/710 and things have been working pretty well for me (then again, I never had the level of camera issues that others have reported).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ehiggins:
I was using the version prior to what was just posted, 5/30/2011. GPS on my tracks was good for a 30 minute hike with the dog screen off. Navigation resulted in GPS signal lost after ten minutes screen on.

Got home, enabled jit and compcache at 18% and disabled purging of assets.

I've had free caddie on with the screen off for twenty minutes and I've had no issues. I was going to try the new settings on for a drive later, but I'm going to flash the new one and leave it at its installed defaults.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ehiggins:
It says error underneath my Wi-fi enable box. It was that way after a wipe of cache and dalvik and then I did a full wipe and flash and still can't enable wi-fi.

I also sent you a PM with Hero GSM .35 kernel developer who said He can help you with porting the updated .35 kernel did you check it out?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaybob413:
I would need more info on the USB headset, including logcat/dmesg around the time of plugging the headset in. I don't use a USB headset, so don't really have much in the way of suggestions. I can take a quick look and see if anything obvious jumps out if you can capture and post to pastebin.

I will try to find the time to check out riemer's latest 2.6.35 kernel repo, but atm things are crazy at work, along with working on getting a native natty configuration going on my tablet, so it may be a little while before I get the chance.

Thank you for replying back, I am new to all of this so I will do some research on

how to get a logcat/dmesg when I plug in the USB headset. Normally when I plug

in the usb headset it gives me a small headphone icon on the top bar with .29 kernel but When I do it on .35 kernel it doesnt do anything but I will get back to you once I have the stuff you asked me for to troubleshoot. I do appreciate all the hard work you are doing!!!
