[Hero CDMA Android Development] Drunkpilot:
That's what I was trying to say really. The op .29 kernel is closer to CM, while the jasonmaloney is closer to the aosp/cm7 kernel. I've always liked deca's #589 uncapped but you can't use the built in cmparts to tweak the governor. I like to switch around.

Jaybob's EXTBLUE 2.2 rom was my daily for about 6 months until I got AOSP GB. I've been out of pocket as of late since work has been so hectic, I didn't even realize he had a GB mod! As soon as I have time I'm going to full wipe and flash this thing, I can't wait.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ch1naski:
You won't be disappointed. If stock camera gives you a hard time, try the miui camera 1.7 posted in themes and apps.

Up and running well on my phone.

I took a hiatus from GB for several months due to GPS rebooting issues. With several trips lately I really needed it to be solid so I went back to a Froyo ROM. I should be able to determine if the recent fix resolves the issue. My phone can reboot on GB navigating to the end of the block. :(

What's the latest thinking on JIT? ON or OFF?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] JeffW8:
I've never seen a definitive answer - some have said they see a benefit, but I think most can't tell. I tried it for a while, and haven't noticed a thing.

Doesn't apply to everyone but has anyone been running the ram booster script on this rom? I've been trying it but after a few days I start getting some serious random reboots.

Like last weekend I was trying to get home from a camping trip using Google navigation and it started rebooting every 5 minutes or less lol, not fun.... I'm pretty sure its the script not the rom but I just wanted to see if anyone else had the same result. This was after 2 days of running the script

Edit: This was using jmalonies .29 kernel with the last 2 rom builds with fr 1.5.8 on 110 15

New convert to jaybob

Hello,

I decided to try this ROM as the GPS issues on aospCMod finally took its toll on my patience and not much progress.

I get SO tired of ppl going "wow" to trying a new ROM but all I can say is WOW!

So far this thing just rocks: beside being quite snappy all around, the GPS stuff so far has not failed. Installing was a standard breeze, reset FR to 110/10, TB recovered apps and life is great so far.

Only thing which I am missing is a numerical option for battery remaining next to signal icon at top. I looked through Zeam, settings, and CMsettings and can not seem to find it. I am using the numerical battery option in sense analog glass clock to show on clock. Any ideas?

Other than that this ROM is 200%
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rast4man:
I literally can't see a difference with JIT on or off so I just keep it off. I ran with it on for a long time on other ROMS but couldn't see anything great as for a benefit. I don't game on my phone so perhaps JIT, as mentioned, works best with gaming? *shrug*
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rast4man:
CM Settings > Interface > Status Bar Tweaks tick battery percentage twice and it will show the mini battery icon and the percentage next to it. HTH.

Thanks. I must have looked right over it as I did scan that pane but missed it.

OK. Hero on jaybob ROM is smokin' 300% now! :-)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ch1naski:
That is an issue on some phones with the .35 kernel. Jaybob has a kernel thread, and in the op of that thread there is a version that is supposed to fix usb connection. You will trade off for headset control, tho.

Or, flash the .29 kernel in the op of this thread. Should solve the problem.....

Well I must have the bum Hero out here. Two reboots in two days. Just flashed the. 29 kernel. Hope that does it.

No offense to Jaybob and team... but having spent the past several months back on Froyo my phone runs way smoother on Froyo than GB. I have tried asopCMod, CM7, and this. I love the features in GB, but my hardware just ain't got the stuff. :-(

Many thanks to the devs! I genuinely appreciate all your hard work! You have made an outstanding phone last an eternity.

I will keep playing with performance settings to see if I can get there. Otherwise I'll just nurse my HeroC on Froyo until I get the urge to cough up the 2bills for a 3VO.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ch1naski:
Gingerbread wasn't supposed to be able to be run on our phones. It took quite a bit of dev skills to make it happen, and it's still a work in progress. Froyo was a lot closer to home for our heros, hence the smoothness....

For Some reason GB has been very smooth for me.

I tried CM7 for the first time and everything went smooth with

everything working and no reboots ever (keeping my finger crossed).

I did have some minor issues with some other roms trying to satisfy my

flashing habbits so It wasnt a big issue but i kept going back to CM7 for

my daily rom.

I do appreciate the hard work all the good people like Mr Jaybob are putting in.

Thank you and God bless
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Drizzzle01:
The one thing that I quickly found missing on this rom was the option for Affiliated Networks setting within Wireless & networks > Mobile networks > System Select. I need this option for whenever I need switch the setting in a roaming area because it is better than sprints network. Could this be an option for the next release?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] waqasr:
Need Some help!!!

My usb handsfree dont work with .35 kernel.

Any suggestions?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jamega2f:
Two things I notice other than the USB don't work for me, I haven't flashed the .29 kernel as yet so hopfully it fixes the following. Since 7am this morning and 1pm my phone rebooted twice and once yesterday on it's own.

2nd I realize when im typing long text messages I can only see the first few sentences, I can't see the indicator or the words im typing unless I close the on screen keyboard and scroll down to check the sentences.

I don't know if im the only person having these issues, I just figure that I would report in, other than that the Rom is great.

HUNGRY HERO EATING GINGERBREAD COOKIES
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rubyknight:
The first issue I'm also experiencing rarely on an alternate .29 kernel, I may try Jay's .29 on my next wipe. As for the keyboard issue, that's simply a problem with the stock SMS app, not the rom. Lots of apps have that issue on our small screens. The best alternative is the Go SMS Pro app because it comes with a much larger text input field option that fixed that issue for me.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jamega2f:
So even though I use Google voice for my texts, I would still have that issue?

HUNGRY HERO EATING GINGERBREAD COOKIES
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rubyknight:
Yup, as long as the keyboard is open it will block part of a long text. It's just how the app is laid out. The Facebook app does it too sometimes. Go SMS has a larger text editor that you can open that fills more of the screen so you can type larger messages
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jamega2f:
oh damn i kinda like google voice, ill give it a try though just test it, preciate it man
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rubyknight:
Google voice works with Go SMS to ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ch1naski:
I wish it didn't. I hate GV for text.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rubyknight:
You mean on your keyboard right? Go in to your keyboard settings and it will let you move the voice key to the symbols keyboard or remove it altogether
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ch1naski:
Actually, I meant using GV for sms. Hate it. I hate that I have to go and delete all my texts (one by one, mind you) from GV after I delete them from GoSMS, or the stock app....

Not sure if this is the proper place to ask this so here goes:

How hard would it be to make a program to "dual-boot" 2 ROMS? I'd like to possibly have have this ROM installed and also another one and be able to switch back and forth. Remember on WinMo when Android was first released via haret.exe and we were able to choose WinMo or Android? This is kind of what I'm talking about.

Anyways, how difficult would it be to program something like that? TIA.

Regards,

rast4man
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rubyknight:
There is a method for this, try searching the dev forum, I believe its here somewhere. It involved partitioning your SD card and putting one of the roms in the partition I think. It was more trouble than it was worth if I remember right but it probably still works

Edit : Did a quick search for it on my phone and couldn't find it. Its from the 2.1 - early 2.2 days so its probably pretty outdated if it is around here somewhere
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rast4man:
Thanks for checking it out for me, I appreciate it. It IS probably more trouble than it's worth but I was just looking at doing another "project" on my ol' faithful Hero. It was worth a shot lol. Cheers man.

getting really psyched by all the positive feedback. gonna give it a go since the gps/navi problems in aospcmod is debilitating to me at this point; 2nd biggest thing I do w/ my phone after phone calls.

question: coming from 5.23 aospcmod, is it advise to do full wipe (cache, system, boot, data)?

also, do any CM apps remain or can they be added? all i care about are the custom screen lock action (have a shortcut to camera from lock screen), DSPManager/EQ (because stock sounds like a tin can compared to my Sansa Clip), and long press volume key (because w/o hard key/tactile feedback, this phone is a novelty while running).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] windtrader:
check your email hakujin.

Anytime you make a major ROM change always best to clear everything out and start fresh. updating point releases usually gets by with just overlaying ROM.

If you use FR then you may need to adjust the size so account for that as well.

Check out what comes with it and then you can always add stuff back in to ROM zip if you miss something.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] JeffW8:
To respond to one of my earlier questions about Google Nav, it seems my Map cache got too big - 25 MB. Once I cleared that out, things got much better. I think I've seen the last of my map freezes.

For those that don't know, you can clear the cache by opening Google Maps, Menu, More, Cache Settings. Press the "Clear map tile cache" box and you're good to go.

Probably a good idea to clear the cache after long trips, especially with our weak little heros.

(Posted while sitting on the train or on the... well, you know.)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hakujin:
that raises an interesting point. I think these map/navigation issues started with offline caching, and with the opengles hack no longer being necessary in buld.prop, it begs the question of whether devices w/ the hero specs undershoot the minimum requirements on subsequent map releases.

Anyone know which version of maps was just before offline caching? I'll try to find it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] JeffW8:
Yes - my thoughts exactly. There comes a point where you just can't squeeze more blood from turnip.

If you can locate and install an earlier version, let me know :-)

[Hero CDMA Android Development] chromiumleaf:
Been reading quite a bit lately about the Navigation freezes with the new AOSP 2.3.4 / CM7 builds. I too am experiencing this (I'm on the Evervolv rom which is from a similar build, but still on the .29 kernel).

I've seen a couple people say that simply setting your cpu min at 480 or higher is enough to fix the Navigation FCs....can anyone confirm this? I'm going to try it on my way home from work this evening.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] windtrader:
GPS field trial

My experience yesterday using Navigon, a massive app, was not so good. While on AOSP ROM it would run smoothly until it locked up. Using this mod it ran longer but ran very choppy, indicating lack of CPU. I did not try to increase the minumum CPU or change CPU from ondemand, but I suspect the combination created the lag to kick up the CPU faster.

So far Google Maps and Navigation seem good on longer trips.

The Hero has never locked up and rebooted like it did on AOSP. Worst case is a FC but often it just loses GPS signal and the app does not even FC. In these cases KillAll Tasks and go back and the app starts up and GPS gets a lock again. Not perfect but certainly more graceful than FC or rebooting.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hakujin:
Is it just me or does it have plenty of CyanogenMod flavoring as well? I still see CyanogenMod settings, which is great because I LOVE it.

Strangely enough, I did a full wipe and still have mp3 ringtones that I created w/ a ringtone app from 05.23 herocmod. listed in Sounds With this ROM (And TB app restoration), came the same flaky GPS/Google Navi issues that led me to this ROM in the 1st place. So I wiped again, then twice, then 3 times (boot, system, cache, davlik, factory reset), and I STILL have those ringtones present in my settings --> sounds, but haven't tried Google Navi yet. But shouldn't those ringtones be MIA (not they are not on SD card).

I just want working Google Navi, this is driving me nuts, especially because it was not always so! Beginning to think I should attempt to find an earlier Maps w/o opengles 1.1 - pre Offline caching, as never seemed to have the myriad or problems I now experience since GB going back to March of this year.:eek: Heck, I remember one long road trip where I used Navi all the way while shuffling music, taking phone calls, texting etc. and nary a hiccup. Nowadays it's a different story, yet progressive upgrades of android since Eclair seem smooth. It just doesn't follow...

Yup! I've gotten to where I don't a crap anymore about new features, if I don't have basic functionality. Currently we are on 5.7.0, and 5.6.0 was problematic for me as well, probably the last 3 version at least. I put in an arbitrary 4.6.0 in google search and DLed a build from Oct of last year. We'll see! Would love to pinpoint exactly the build just before offline caching. That shouldn't be too difficult, stand by.

EDIT: kick a$$ how effective google search is in this regard. Modifying search terms, you can sort of get a point by point release synopsis which really puts releases I'd previously took for granted into perspective. Got up to 5.5 and noticed that there was still support for devices running 1.6 or higher, which seems strange as I thought the opengles 1.1 features were for superior devices. Anyway; trying 5.1 which is when goog added latitude support check in a a main feature. I'll try it out today (after giving latest one more go at it) and post back results. If that doesn't work, I'll regress until I find a version that performs adequately. If that doesn't happen, then at least we know it's not a Gmaps issue (at least not more than it's a GB Cooked ROM on Hero issue).

EDIT: As an aside, would KERN help with the random unmounts on SD card on USB

Gmail issues

MOved over from aosp ROM to this one since I was reading about better performance with GPS and yes, GPS has been great and so is everything else except....Gmail..I don't know what's going on but I cannot send any emails. I can receive them, read them but it does not see that I have read my emails, so my Inbox says I have 10 unread emails when I have read all of them. When I send any message, it says 'sending' for the longest time. I found an email that I had composed 2 days ago still in my outbox. I checked the sync setting everything looks fine. Incidentally the gapps I used was the 0325 version from the aosp post. Is there another one which works better with this ROM, which BTW ROCKS!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rubyknight:
Ugh -.- I spent 2 hours last night setting up this rom to the best I've ever gotten it. I put a modded sense theme on it with a really good sense 3.0 themed launcher pro, metamoroph window transitions, oced to the perfect speed, a bunch of themed apps, etc. It was hawt, and the fastest my phone has ever run. Then this morning I dropped it and shattered the screen :'(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] JeffW8:
I had this issue, but I can't quite remember the path I took to fix it. I think all you need to do is go to Settings - Applications - Manage Applications - Gmail, and clear data and cache. It was definitely something simple like that.

The other thing to try, if that doesn't work, is to run fix_permissions in Android Terminal Emulator. Remember to type "su" and enter first.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] hakujin:
thx. sorry, so busy so difficult to get back yesterday. was able to try newest (5.7.0?) again on this ROM. Performed just as lousy as Herocmod 5.23.11, so went with 5.1.0 and KERN (was in a rush though I should have tried one at a time to isolate issue). Navi was far more responsive and less laggy, but strangely I started outright losing GPS fix which didn't seem to happen with 5.7.0. Going to give it another whirl today when I pick up my car from dealer. If it persists, I'll go back to Maps 4.x; and if problem persists at that point, I may just go back to AOSP 2.2.1 nandroid as that's the last time I can remember when Navi didn't aggravate me on a daily basis. I'll keep you posted of my results.

If you'd like to try any yourself feel free. Just search for major/minor releases via google in incremental order (e.g. google maps 4.6.0 apk, google maps 5.1.0 apk) and so on. You'll find just about any version online, as well as details of changes.

EDIT: Incidentally, can any of you speak of any issues w/ inc. kernel, that KERN fixes? I decided to just throw it on there after rebooting and losing all my contacts/gmail, etc. (needed to be resynced), but not sure if that's the inc. kernel or not. Was wondering what conclusive problems have been found w/ packaged dev one in this rom.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hakujin:
I'm in the same boat. I just bought a new ride, and with it, my insurance premium more than doubled. The last thing I want right now is a new phone, as If I can get my chief complaint fixed (Google Navigation/GPS!), the issue is really only that of marginal speed difference, and I'd *like* to say screw paying Sprint an extra $240 a year for 'premium data' as I don't give two $h1ts about mobile 4G, 5G, or 6G. I don't do any serious downloading except when home, and 12Mbps down is plenty for that purpose. For wireless tethering/basic browsing purposes on the go, 3G is more than adequate, IMO.
