i got that warm up impression as well, haha! so how's your camera w/ your settings + v6? also, can you send the link to that... I'm going to check it now now and seemed to have lost it... i def. wanna use noop, as i did previously when running colins batt tweak. i'm inclinded to use colines again, but what you are using, as least if i remember correct, seems more optimized.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PRGUY85:
What's the easiest way to edit build.prop and then confirm changes are in place? I find it difficult to do from the phone.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Freeroot:
I use root explorer. It's on the market. It's a paid app, but it is very much worth the cash. Another reliable, but free solution is to use es file manager (also on market). Be sure r/w (read and write) is activated and not r/o (read only). Let me know if you have any questions on either of these apps.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Drunkpilot:
Root Explorer! Reboot, then check it out with root explorer. It will back up the previous build.prop too.

You don’t need that for the governor and cpu stuff though. That's in the performance part of the cyanogenmod heading in settings.

You think Meth is bad? Try being a flash whore with a Gingerbread habit and a legacy device! It ain't pretty.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Drunkpilot:
I don't, but it's v6 supercharger by zeppelinrox (there might be 2 xx). No difference in camera (still buggy for me- no better, no worse). I'm using the. 29 right now and it is so much faster than it ever has been.

You think Meth is bad? Try being a flash whore with a Gingerbread habit and a legacy device! It ain't pretty.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PRGUY85:
Is there a need to edit build.prop after the V6 supercharge update 9 release?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hakujin:
I loved .29 too. but w/o working gps, it is like cutting the nuts off my Hero. I NEED navi w/o problems. Why it is so GD difficult to combine the best of both worlds in a new kernel is beyond me.

p.s. Camera 360 aesthetically is pretty, but in function, it sucks arse. Too slow, and res is too low. But... at least it's a camera!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PRGUY85:
A week ago, I flashed this ROM after full wipe and applied the V6 supercharger tweaks with V8 tweaks as well. However, after full battery calibration and some day usage, I was noticing my battery was draining. On Spare Parts, the phone had the Running bar on 99.9%. Yet, Battery Usage showed no rogue app keeping phone awake or no app on Partial Wake Usage on Spare Parts. This made me switch to OMGB. Yet, I wanted to try this ROM again so I flashed it two days ago, applying V6 supercharger tweaks (update 9 I believe with 3G and Kernel Tweaks).

Now after calibration (and normal Running state during calibration), the phone is at it again. I unplugged it 3 hours ago, haven't used it much (no more than 10 minutes) and it's Running 99.9% on Spare Parts. Again there are no rogue apps showing on Partial Wake Usage. This didn't happen on OMGB. So, what's the story with this ROM? Any ideas?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PRGUY85:
Update:

Battery use from 100% to 37% in 5h 46m. Display has been on only 29m39s.

In Spare Parts, it appears Running 99.9% since Boot, Time Spent without sleeping 4h 31m. Curiously, Battery use graph doesn't show much awake time, if at all. So, I can't find any rogue app. Also, this didn't occur during first flash and battery calibration. It's now occurring after booting the phone after full recharge from 100% to 0% in calibration.

Any ideas?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ohbuckeyeman:
Prguy, I believe the excessive battery drain started at the same time jaybob synced with cm sources. In the nightlies forum, someone said that became a problem after #144. If you look at the dates for that, I think the 7-22 build of this rom is good to go. It predates the battery problems in cm. as a side note, I experienced the same battery drain you described and reverted to 7-22 and an setting great battery life. I've been off the charger for 14 hours and I'm at 65%. YMMV... Good luck!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PRGUY85:
What will we lose by using that previous ROM? I'm guessing it won't be 2.3.5. What else?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] JeffW8:
Nothing that I can tell, based on the changes list for 2.3.5.

(Posted while sitting on the train or on the... well, you know.)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PRGUY85:
So we should flash the 7-24 build?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ohbuckeyeman:
I did and am loving it. Also, don't know if you have experimented with the v6 tweaks others have talked about on here, but it makes it super smooth.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] JeffW8:
I probably will. I want to do a little more testing, but I think I lost some stability. Google Nav is having trouble again as well.

(Posted while sitting on the train or on the... well, you know.)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Adhem323:
so i flashed this rom about 3 days ago after using aospCMod 5-23 and its much faster to say the least lol.

i had the same problem that some of you are with the battery drain without really using it, and i have not applied the V6 tweaks. today tho i wanted to see if there was an app keeping it on so i kept an eye on watchdog and nothing was out of the ordinary and by the end of the day with moderate use i was at 54%. im gonna go another day to see what happens

what are the benefits of using those tweaks? im gonna make a backup just in case but i want to use them
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chuckwigwam:
I have been running this rom for about a week now. I ran it for a few days on the .35 kernel but found the rom sluggish and unresponsive at times. Then I flashed the .29 kernel and my Hero responded just as it did when I was using jaybob's froyo redglass rom. I recalibrated battery stats and deleted a few apps that I never use or didn't want. After a full discharge of the battery and then a full recharge over night with the phone off I got 34hrs. on battery before recharging. However, I did use Sprint navi. yesterday and it seemed to loose gps signal frequently. However, this is by far the best gingerbread rom I have tried.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PRGUY85:
Do you guys really notice much difference between the .29 and .35 kernel?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] JeffW8:
Yes, but it's mostly just due to what our phones can handle, I think. 29 isn't as stable on my phone.

(Posted while sitting on the train or on the... well, you know.)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] genuser:
I've got 2 HeroCs in the house running 7/24 with the .29 kernel. They are running outstanding. Camera didn't work well on the .35 otherwise they work great on either. GPS doesn't work for anything, but they have become the kids phones and they don't need nav.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Drunkpilot:
Root explorer! I don't know how I got along without it. Make sure you mount r/w to make changes or you will be prompted about it, and save changes. Reboot and it should stick.

You think Meth is bad? Try being a flash whore with a Gingerbread habit and a legacy device! It ain't pretty.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Drunkpilot:
I really don't. I know on the sense gb people say that it does. I need a camera though ( kids), and I always ends up with issues with the .35. I have stock, miui, fx camera, and another one all loaded and they inevitably will crash. I'm not a big multi tasker though and I use #6 for the v6 with kernel and 3g (all of the updated versions) and I'm super snappy.

I haven't noticed severe battery drain. I haven't calibrated my battery in months though.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] NineInchNails:
+1000 for root explorer. Love that app
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ohbuckeyeman:
I know it's not as powerful, but ES File Explorer duress a fantastic job in a pinch fit being a free app as well. It also has the option to mount system as r/w. You probably already knew this, butt thought I should throw it out there for PRGUY.

Nandroids are for sissies.

Bang.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] genuser:
If there is one, I haven't found it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] waqasr:
This is very strange but all the GB rom's I have tried I never had

gps issues with any one. At the moment I can confirm that I used

GPS with no issues on CM7, asopCM7 and HeroDeck if my memory

serves me right.

I did not try GPS on jaybobs aosp since my headset was not working

on .35 kernel so I went back to my daily rom.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] genuser:
There seems to be people who don't have issues. Wonder if HTC changed GPS chips along the way.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] waqasr:
Yup there is a good chance they did.

I see your sig says you use 691/691 ondemand, how

long your battery last with that setting?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] genuser:
An outstanding question! I totally doubted the setting when others suggested it. But the battery life is same as when it was 265/691, but the performance has been much better.

All along I have been suspicious of the governors in GB. I think a lot of the gps hangs, black screen on calls, Pandora taking over phone, etc are caused by the governor not ramping cpu speed back up properly.

691/691 has worked with out battery penalty. Running this way on two HeroCs.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hakujin:
well, i don't appear to have the battery drain issue; upgraded to 2.3.5 over 2.3.4 (no full wipe, just cache and davlik). and as has been reported, gps is fixable on .35 (though camera is sketchy) with the aforementioned tweaks on previous pages.

regarding v6 supercharger beta 9 or V8, which is it (wouldn't think both)?

Or is this it?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15948434&postcount=1127

i'm kinda confused by all the versioning and options... just wanna change my scheduler like i did w/ colin's ph (but dont want 3 apps that control cpu speed [setCPU, CM, & colin] as that mucks with my OCD!) and to also see what what all the fuss is about.

Incidentally, starting using AudioGalaxy a lot more now that I have an AUX input in my car and it, coupled w/ Navi, and Runkeeper, has reinvigorated my interest in the Hero. Plus is I also just found the perfect armband (below; Chinese seller) for the hero on eBay for my runs, tested and works great, nice and snug though skin must come off....

I'm in it for as long as I can take it with this phone! Screw paying premium data fees and screw contract renewal which could adversely jeopardize longevity of monthly discounts; LONG LIVE THE HERO!

Update Posted - 01-SEP-2011 with 2.6.35.14 Kernel Update

The 01SEP version has been posted with a new kernel source base combining board files from the previous version with a new source base from the GSM Hero github of Riemer and Erasmux (big thanks). After 30 seconds of exhaustive testing, and a few updates, everything appears to be working with this version. Not a lot of mileage yet, so as always, nandroid is your friend.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] raz699:
Thank you, will try it now.

Hows the battery life with this rom and kernel combination?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Hippie459MN:
If both the camera and the GPS are working I just might have to change over to this ROM asap!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaybob413:
BTW, native USB tether (Wireless & network settings -> Tethering) should also be working on this version thanks to the tip posted by Erasmux in the GSM Hero thread.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PRGUY85:
Depends if CM fixed battery drainage.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MrDowntown12:
Looks like Wi-Fi is borked on the Sep 1 release. Just says error and wont turn on. I assume this is probably related to the new kernel modifications. Speaking of which...

I saw two new governor options in the list ineractiveX and smartassv2 (which is the default governor now it appears)

Could you explain the differences in these new ones for us jaybob?

Thanks for your continued hardwork by the way.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] cmason1015:
HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!...I laughed so hard at this milk came out my nose! And I was drinking Coke!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaybob413:
This was due to operator error. I still had the wlan.ko from the previous kernel build. This has been fixed, uploaded, and the link in the OP updated.

To fix the issue, you have three options.

Re-download and re-flash the updated ROM from the OP

Flash the updated kernel from my 2.6.35.14 kernel thread

Update the wlan.ko file in /system/lib/modules

For option 3, download the attached wlan-ko.zip file, extract the wlan.ko file, then use adb to replace the file:

adb remount
adb push wlan.ko /system/lib/modules/
adb shell chmod 644 /system/lib/modules/wlan.ko

Or any other method of your choice to change out the file.

My apologies for the inconvenience. :o

Can you run that buy me one more time. W/ the 01Sept11 JB build, what else (and in what order) will make this phone snappier? Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hakujin:
Both good for me so far!!!

I never had that problem. Then again, I've become pretty much desensitized to my battery longevity since the absence of circle battery mod (I assume it works for this ROM so I don't know why I stopped running it after aospCmod), and the addition of a functional car power outlet (woefully lacking in my previous temp hoop-tie). But if I remember correctly, we were talking in the league of a 50% battery loss in a matter of a few hours or more right? Never had that problem anyway.

Since I brought it up, no reason CircleBattery Mod shouldn't work with this right folks? Which is the latest release for this ROM? TY!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PRGUY85:
After last update Bluetooth is not working correctly with my car system. It keeps turning on an off, connecting and disconnecting.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Drunkpilot:
You can get the battery % showing if you go into CM Parts in the section with the status bar tweaks- can't remember which section- I'm using Wild Heroc today.

I'm looking the new smartass v2 at 264/710. Really snappy with animations set to fast in spare parts, jit on and asset purging off. V6 beta 9 update 2, KAK, and 3g tweaks. I'm liking the new kernel. No picture or headphone issues so far.

You think Meth is bad? Try being a flash whore with a Gingerbread habit and a legacy device! It ain't pretty.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hakujin:
Tried that one b4 but don't find it appealing. The power bar is too anorexic, better as circle batt mod, don't you think?

JIT has always been hit or miss for me, but I'm digging this new update period, and as is w/ 23000 sample rate 652/480, purge off, fast animations, rest default. GPS works great, camera works great.

JayBob, I have noticed that battery runs hot as compare to

drain. Any idea why the battery runs hotter on .35 kernel?

getting 48 hours on .29 kernel with same usage.

Any suggestions? Any one else is experiencing this issue?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] clutterking:
I am having the same problem.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Drunkpilot:
I use 6 (which is balanced 3 with Hard To Kill Launcher), and #17. I don't know what settings you mean for the 3g though because it just sets it up. 3G update_3_test_8. Remember that every phone is different as some of the hardware can be different as well as the apps that we run and different settings.

#6 seems to be well received by people that have low Ram such as ours.

It's just when I am on call the phone runs a lot hotter, Which

Other people are also reporting fast battery drain here
[Hero CDMA Android Development] clutterking:
Thanks but unfortunately the gapps from that post don't work for me on this rom either.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PRGUY85:
The battery life in the last update is much better to the previous. It's probably because CM updated to fix the reported battery drainage and thus we got that fixed now.

However, I'm still trying to get Bluetooth to consistently work with my car system. It used to work great with OMGB with .29 kernel. I can pair the phone with the car system but it then intermittently goes on and off trying to connect. It connects with the stereo, then disconnects, and keeps doing it. Very rarely does it stay put for me to use it. I also noticed it's more prone to happen if I select both Phone and Media for connection, instead of just Phone.

Again, doesn't happen with .29 kernel ROMs or past iterations of this ROM (I think).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Dynastes:
I used test 9, so it has multiple options.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] suckoos:
Constantly running

First of all, this new build has been the best for me in terms of everything working well, GPS has been working better than any other GB rom I've tried. I have been running into an issue where the phone is constantly running according to spare parts and the autosync icon is constantly present if there is internet access. I'm not sure what the problem is but it is resulting in heavy battery drain as some other users have reported. Thanks for your hard work on the development of the heroc.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] y24k:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] hakujin:
related to sync, here is my problem. the 3g icon and signal icon are always white, never green, and dually, the phone doesn't sync quickly as it should, sometimes not at all (case in point this morning). I did an upgrade from previous Jaybob ROM. I wonder if wipeing and doing a fresh install would help. Are any of you experiencing this problem w/ account sync?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] suckoos:
I am experiencing the same problem, however I installed fresh and am still having issues. I wonder if my cache size with FR is causing any problems, I haven't really tried doing it without.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hakujin:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] rast4man:
First off, this is one of my favorite ROMS for my Hero. That being said, the only issue I seem to have is that this tends to give me lower signal bars compared to any other ROM. I recently flashed over to NFX in order to update my radio and PRL and then went back to this one. On Sense based ROM's I get full bars everywhere and there are a few other ROM's I've flashed that are non-Sense and I get decent bars with those but this one seems to give me the lowest bars/reception out of all of them. Kind of strange eh? Any suggestions? Maybe a tweak/mod/script/etc that I don't know about?

Either way chime in and let me know if you know of anything I can try. Thanks!

Regards,

rast4man
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Robbie_G:
Are you able to see the actual signal number? Could be that the bars are "calibrated" differently.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rast4man:
Yes, whether I go by visual bars or actually have it displayed as decibels, it's the same.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Drunkpilot:
Yeah, i see. I just downloaded the newest. I will look and see which of them I have because I couldn't see everything on my phone.

Is anyone else having this Bluetooth issue that I've read about? If so, have you tried flashing the Rom again after wiping dalvik cache or even rebooting. Or, maybe going over to the kernel thread and downloading and flashing just the new kernel. I'm just trying to rethink of sine quick fixes. My Bluetooth works fine with the new kernel, i haven't flashed the latest build. I will tonight though.
