Might want to check to see if your GPS is stuck on. That's the only thing I've noticed about this combo...once on... it tends to stay on. I've had to reboot a couple of times over the past 2 days to get the GPS off once its been started.

I notice it most with Google homepage in the browser and Facebook.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaybob413:
I would guess you have some app/widget running that is causing the drain, as I am getting pretty good battery life (as shown below). A couple of things to consider:

Turn off automatic brightness and lower the display setting

Set End Key to sleep and turn off the display instead of letting it time out.

Minimize use of frequently updating widgets on your home screens

Turn off LED notifications for mail and texts (I only enable the LED for missing a call). The endless flashing does not help battery life.

If GPS is not turning off by itself, trying turning GPS off then on with the Notification power widget.

Here's a representative screenshot of my battery use at 75% after 14+ hours:

Ringtones

Ok - I feel dumb. I don't have any ringtones available for selection. How does one go about fixing this? Didn't see anyone else in the thread mentioning this problem.

NEVERMIND - after a reboot it worked normally. My phone was going apey apparently and that was the first sign of trouble.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cyburke:
thanks.. will try these tips.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jmocherman:
I've tried using the notification widget and the power control widget. Once its on, its on. Not a big deal. I'll put up with it, this ROM is too smooth to worry about little things :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jmoch2:
missing apps

Anyone else not able to find some apps in the market? Wireless tether for example will not show up.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] src182:
I've noticed also. By the way on youdug's ics the cm lockscreen Widgets force close . Other than that its awesome.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] src182:
Jaybob's with some love from youdug's ics and fancy widgets.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] youdug:
Yeah when i flashed it before modding it thats what it did. Idk. Thanks though man

I tried installing zip from SD threw cwm recovery but it fails the signature verification. Any ideas?

Current: Kyocera Echo 2.3.4 Rooted

Previous Devices: HTC Hero 2.1 Rooted, HTC Hero 1.5 No Root, Sanyo Zio 2.2 Rooted, Blackberry Curve 8330m.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] youdug:
Boot recovery, go to install from zip, select toggle signature verification, flash zip.

You the man!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ch1naski:
That's bad Ass, youdug. Thanks for posting.normally I leave jaybob's room as is, but this looks really nice.

nandroids are for

sissies
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bravo1565:
@youdug another great job on jaybobs rom with ics I'm loving it and I see you took the calander app out I having a hard time trying to add in this rom any ideas
[Hero CDMA Android Development] youdug:
Using root explorer:

move the calenderprovider.apk and calender.apk to your sd card

open root explorer, find calender.apk, press and hold it, select Copy

navigate to system

::VERY IMPORTANT OR WILL NOT WORK::

go to system/media, in the top right hand corner theres a button that says "mount r/w" press that button and it will say "mount r/o"

paste file inside system/media

press and hold the file, select Permissions

check only these boxes:

Owner - Read, Write

Group - Read

Others - Read

Uncheck all other boxes

click OK

press and hold the file, select copy, go to system/app, paste

Do same steps for calenderprovider.apk

reboot.

Ive never actually had to push a file to system/app after flashing but this should work. Thanks for the compliments bravo and ch1naski i appreciate you guys. Just trying to give somethin back for everything ive got from here.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bravo1565:
Is there any other way doing I don't have root explorer
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sippi4x4man:
Do you have or know how to use adb?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] youdug:
Us es file explorer, its free. Just follow the same steps.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thanku7:
Why don't u put another rom with no removed apps or media. I also have a problem with sime apps that you removed but I use frequently. Anyway, thanks for your effort.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] waqasr:
Hey Youdug, I wanted to ask you. What is your daily rom?

I have a request, The next mod you do can you please include

the V6 script in it?

Regards and Thank you :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] youdug:
i included all the apps in a zip. just add them in with 7zip before you flash it. download the removed apps and media zip i posted, right click on the rom, go to 7-zip/open archive, select all the apps you need from the zip and drag them into system/app, if you want the sounds i removed go to system/media and add them into their appropriate folders, close 7-zip, flash rom.

yeah no problem man. when i used it i didnt really notice much of a difference but it didnt hurt anything either so i dont see any problem adding it. i did add the sdcardfix script and another script that zipaligns data/app when youre booting so the programs you download run a little faster.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] waqasr:
Yah brother I noticed you included the SD card script

in your last release =)

That's kool I hope you are able to figure it out and add it soon.

I use the juwe's memory script at the moment, don't know if

v6 script is better or not. I used to use V6 script but to be honest

with you after some time you dont feel the difference any more. Not

sure if it's that you get used to it or if it was just a placebo effect

in the first place!!

Can you please upload the zipaligns data/app script for me

so I can add it in your verison of Hero Deck 1.3 rom because I

think you did not add it in that one. Thanks a lot.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] youdug:
i didnt notice any difference with either the v6 or juwe's. anyway, heres the data script.

zipalign data/app at boot
[Hero CDMA Android Development] waqasr:
Thanks bud, I will download it once I get home.

At work right now =)

So I just need to place it in the same folder as

the SD speed script is? Or just flash it?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] youdug:
same folder as sdspeed script (etc/init.d) then just reboot
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zwizzle:
I've gotta hand it to you jaybob... I've been using this kernel in nightly 229 for the past few days, and it is nothing short of awesome. Smoothest experience I've had on the Hero.

Really appreciate all the time you've dedicated to supporting our phones. :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bravo1565:
Ok well Im trying to figure out how to install calander apk and calander provider through es file but can't figure it out sorry youdug I'm trying to follow your directions but not working with es file
[Hero CDMA Android Development] xDragod:
in ES, instead of hitting the R/W button, you have to hit menu > options (or settings, I forget) and scroll to the bottom and select Root Explorer, then mount /system/ as R/W. Make sure you turn it off when you're done editing.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bravo1565:
@xDragod thanks for the tip I went to menu and check root and also mount system I already put calander apk and calander provider in system - media but what do I do from there
[Hero CDMA Android Development] youdug:
Sorry bravo i never used es i just know u can do it... I JUST KNOW U CAN DO IT!!! I BELIEVE IN YOU!!! lol jk (bored at work)

Edit: you have to change its permissions first then put it in system/app. Copy them both and put them in the media folder, change the permissions to this:

Owner: read, write

Group: read

Others: read

Copy and paste them back in system/app, reboot
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bravo1565:
Yes!!!!!! I finally did it I was able to synce my calander thanks youdug and xDragod
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fenghua520:
Downloading now. Glad to see another rom to try in Hero Land! Thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] moisaal:
After i followed ur instructions i tried to flash the .zip file i created but it wouldnt install. I toggled off the verification too. Did i miss something? Do i need to sign the zip file?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] BallZDeeP:
Mine installed, just seemed like it changed my current theme a little here and there. I will try again
[Hero CDMA Android Development] youdug:
You need to move the apps back into the rom using 7zip. Open the roms zip with 7zip, go to system/app, drag the apps from the removed apps folder into system/app, go to the media folder in the rom and move the sounds into the media folder if u want those also, close 7zip, flash rom.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] JeffW8:
Worked for me! It's so nice and smooth... And blue :-)

(Posted while sitting on the train or on the... well, you know.)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] moisaal:
got it. Thanks for your help
[Hero CDMA Android Development] waqasr:
Hey Youdug, Can you please tell me the folder where ring tones

are? In case I want to add or remove any.

Thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] youdug:
Media/ringtones :)

I put all the removed ones in the zip i included on my post, and theyre seperated in their own seperate folders (ringtones, notifications, ui)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] waqasr:
Thanks a lot Bud!!! :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] youdug:
Damn theyre gonna think were a legacy! Someone mess something up or somethin! Say somethin! Lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vecchp:
Hrm, it seems i consistently lose GPS in V1.1-22OCT. Maybe you need to turn off purging of assets?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Drunkpilot:
I never use purging assets and I've been using jit for a while.

You guys might want to try using Astro file manager for some things. It allows you to go inside of zips and add remove things or install apk's without extracting them like ES or root explorer. Root explorer is great though, especially for editing things like build. prop. Titanium backup is a great tool too and makes reinstalling apps very easy (and it deletes system apps). There's also an app called app extractor that will pull apps and data out of cwm backups...pretty cool that it pulls from an image file. It will get and data too if your into try sort of thing.

Jaybob does great work. I've been using his roms since cm 6.2 and there just getting better. I wish I had half of his knowledge of the android platform. Problem is, I've fried half my brain due to my musical background.

2.3.7 on the hero is impossible, just ask HTC.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] youdug:
try bringing up your min cpu, or maybe set your gov to performance when you use it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] systemshock869:
Hey guys, I'm thinking about giving my evo to my dad and coming back to the good ol' hero.. I know aospCmod is solid as a rock but it's getting pretty old.. jaybob's 31DEC was pretty amazing so I'd like to check this out. Is this ROM pretty solid for most people? I've heard of GPS problems just scanning the last couple of pages. I have found though, that if only one or two people have a problem, it's usually them and not the ROM. So clue me in! Thanks =D

Hey one more thing. This is pretty minor.. I'm running decks on my hero and the latest update does not include the special messaging icon for the lockscreen. This is quite annoying to me because using the app icon looks retarded and so does the little CM logo. I didn't know if it was missing in CM, or just decks. Can anyone verify for me if it's in this one or not? Haha thanks guys
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hakujin:
if anyone wants a chuckle, look at the sunday circular from walmart (dunno if it's last week or this week, it's the one that I get midweek), and for the htc evo design 4g is a pic of the Heroc! Somebody messed up in the Wally-Illustrator dept, haha!

---------- Post added at 11:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:16 PM ----------

i stopped updating after finding Sept 1st GPS and ROM in general was solid... nothing I do makes it not work now, but I can say this: Interactive is a crappy governor for those that rely on gps and don't frequently tap screen, so def use default 'on demand'.

I just recently shut off compcache as swappy to test for lagginess improvement, changed vm heap down from 48 to 32 and turned off autokiller and laid off aggressive RAM presets in general because it's counter intuitive when apps are shut down to fast causing a reload everytime I one goes to the home screen then tries to come back... or in my case runs 9 miles, only for endomondo to lose fix and crap out at 3 because someone called me.. Asset purging seems a given to leave on though, due to our heroc being more of a pinnacle Froyo device anyway.

my .02. Google Navi might slow down once in a while but never misses a beat anymore. I dare not upgrade rom again (heroc has made me grow weary of problems and believer of 'if it ain't broke' mentality and in late Dec. upgrading to the Nexus Prime
[Hero CDMA Android Development] waqasr:
This rom is pretty solid, I didnt have any GPS issues, Tested the

10th sep .35 kernel for hours and across the states. I did not get

a chance to test the 22 oct .35 kernel for GPS issues yet but I am

sure that wont be an issue since it had only updates/improvements

from the previous version (I am assuming not 100% sure).

I would recommend this and Hero Deck 1.3 rom but make sure

to flash 22OCT .35 kernel on HeroDeck 1.3 since it comes with .29 kernel.

Best of luck and plz do share your experience with us once you try em out!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] l3alla:
Ive been running 22nd for a week now with no gps issues. This rom i would say has been 100% stable for day to day use.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theman10:
does anyone know if a circle battery mod has been made for this rom? I would do it myself but I am just being lazy about it right now. I flashed this a week ago and so far it's pretty damn smooth. also, what is the best mtd partition settings to use? I have mtd 110 18 right now and I am at 98% capacity for /system. Is that too little breathing room?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Drunkpilot:
Your fine unless you plan on throwing anything else in the system partition. I am mtd 105 2 and I have 5mb free in system. I delete some things like androidian and cyanobread themes, file manager, and a couple others. Then i well change boot animations too depending on my mood. Root explorer has been a great tool for that. You're fine though.

Update Posted - 03-NOV-2011 with 2.6.35.14 Kernel Update (22OCT v1.1)

Update posted to OP.

Sync with AOSP/CM sources; Updated to align with latest CM7 mods. This also includes the updated 2.6.35.14 kernel (22OCT V1.1).

As always, nandroid is your friend.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaybob413:
You might want to consider putting the image files into an installable theme, and other mods into a flashable zip to save some effort in applying to multiple ROMS. This would also let people use your mods on updates without waiting for you to rebuild.

Or, for use with ROMS that are available completely from source, you could create an overlay that allows it to be directly applied to the source and compiled into the ROM during build (like what I did for the ExtremelyBlue, Blackmod, Red Glass, ... series of CM6.2 ROMS)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] youdug:
Yeah i was gonna look into just making it into a theme chooser theme and the flashable zip for the mods is a good idea. Ive been doing this for myself just trying to learn and posting what i came up with. Havent had much time to do anything lately though. You deving for any other phones?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaybob413:
Certainly agree that time is a scarce and precious commodity. I also started for my personal use, then ended up posting my work to contribute something back to the community.

I am just working on this ROM and the .35 kernel atm. Still waiting to see what the holiday releases will bring, as I am well past the point of upgrade eligibility. For the right hardware, I could jump at any time.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Robbie_G:
Let's all agree to wait for the galaxy nexus, hold hands, and jump together.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] waqasr:
hey Jaybob can we flash this latest version over the previous

one with out formating? I used to do that with CM7 nightly builds!

If I do that will all the new updates take effect and the new

.35 kernel as well? What is you take on that?

Really appreciate your hard work!! .35 kernel is rock solid!!

Thank you and God bless:)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaybob413:
Should be fine (worked for me). I also wipe dalvik by force of habit. I still recommend a backup just in case you have problems.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thanku7:
fully agree with u. this rom is 100% stable and so fast.

Thanks for your effort and contribution, Jaybob.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Drunkpilot:
I'm using 1.58, but I'm still using the s0be market fix to get me some more data. My data is 352 and you know that I needs alls I can gets on the trusty (and I do mean trusty, Hero) :D. It's recommended to use 18+ on the cache partition to exclude having to use the market fix. Funny thing, when I flashed the 22OCT 2.3.7 after only wiping cache/dalvik, I had market issues and had to reapply the fix (I haven't had to in a long time even if I do a full format/wipe and then reinstall data using the advanced restore in CWM (any version)).

Now we have a new one I see. Good ol' Jaybob keeping this thread up and the Hero on the cutting edge. Such a smooth rom and always blazing fast especially with all of the kernel work that has been done on the .35.

creating circle batt mod for TeamHeroC-03NOV.zip

I tried to follow the directions for creating a circle batt mod here: http://romrepo.info/wiki/index.php?title=Circle_Battery_Mod

I tried on the latest jaybob rom (nov 3rd). However, it didn't work. Does anyone have any successful steps for building a circle batt mod for this rom? I used the uot kitchen to cook up a mod but when I flashed it, my phone got stuck at the htc screen. Then I used the steps in the link above to directly modify the framework-res.apk but Apk Manager errored out: drawable\stat_sys_battery_charge.xml:1: error: Error parsing XML: not well-formed (invalid token)

Exception in thread "main" brut.androlib.AndrolibException: brut.common.BrutExce

any help would be appreciated.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Drunkpilot:
That was funny! I guess his pregnant wife can confirm this!

Flashed new rom with the customary dalvik/cache wipearoo and it works great. 18 hours on battery and at 55%. I had just recently wiped battery stats which I hadn't done in months too. So, or could drop to 15% at any moment.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Hammerfest:
Meh, I jump on the TeamHeroC train every once in a while to keep my HeroC up-to-date...

But I left Sprint a few months ago... not gonna stand for the $10 addon crap... 5 years for myself, 7 for my parents, and who knows for all the friends/co-workers/classmates I have convinced to dump Sprint over this $10 fee (monthly fee for the HARDWARE of your phone! doubledipping HOORAH!), I may have had to help them pick new phones on different carriers (and get the right plans for them), config/tweak/ZOOMZOOM their phones, but totally worth it! DIE SPRINT DIE!

Needless to say, I had switched to Cricket and was using my HeroC before I moved to my HD2 on SimpleMobile, so I thank you and I will keep updating my HeroC for as long as you cook :D (GPS, News, Home device, Controller, hell its got an extended battery, its a great multi tool for when I am home/driving!)

TYTY

EDIT: now if someone had a mod out for a GOOD Sense theme (icons, buttons, menus, ect, not the actual Sense UI) it would make my day! :P

Conference calling ?

Thanks for a Gr8t rom guys. One question. I am still unable to make a conference call using this rom. I've researched and left bug reports with Cyanogen as well as other forums. To the best of my knowledge this has been ongoing since last year on most of these custom roms.

Not a deal breaker because this thing is fast now.....makes holding out for a sucky Sprint upgrade less painful and unnecessary!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Drunkpilot:
Sounds like you have a good excuse not to have to make conference calls.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Freeroot:
Okay, I originally replied to this after not having read your entire post and said some stupid things that you have already known. I felt bad, so I went ahead and did it for you and anyone else who may want this for this version THIS IS JUST FOR THE NOV 3RD RELEASE. This is just the basic circle battery. Let me know if you have any troubles. Some things that ma be causing a problem are if you are not using recovery 3.x.x.x, it won't work, as stated on the UOT website. Also, since this is a gingerbread rom, you not only need the framework.apk from the zip, but also the system.ui from the zip. Anyways, the attached zip is flashable from recovery and was just tested by me. Enjoy (:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sippi4x4man:
Battery mod looks great, thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theman10:
many thanks freeroot, I appreaciate the flashable. I am running clockwork 3.x. couple of quick questions:

1. I'm using fireants so will I need to increase my system partition for this mod? right now I'm at mtd 120 18.

2. out of curiosity, how did you get this to work? did you just use the uot kitchen?

many thanks again.
