I doubt it's the tweaks, but give it a shot and report back your results. To remove the tweaks, you should use root explorer. Make sure you have build.prop.un3g in /system. This is your old build.prop. Delete the tweaked build.prop and rename build.prop.un3g > build.prop. (You will need to mount /system as R/W before you can rename.) Go to /system/etc/init.d/ and you should see a file with the name 98kickasskernel, or 99. Delete this file. Reboot, and you are back to your old system. If you encounter any issues, you can always reinstall JB's rom, this will wipe out the build.props and get you back to scratch (you may still have to delete the 98kickasskernel).

*EDIT* BTW, you can edit your build.prop using root explorer. Mount /system as R/W, then long press build.prop. Choose the option to Open in Text Editor. Edit your changes, click menu, then choose save and exit. It will save your changes and create a backup of your old build.prop named build.prop.bak. Reboot for changes to take effect.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Drunkpilot:
Are you running the "null" tweaks or did you go "false" on those build.prop edits? Did you do the bitmask edit as well?

Is there an issue with flashing 2.3.5 over 2.3.4 as far as just doing a cache wipe or restoring data in the advanced restore section of clockwork recovery. I will give it a try, but I was just wondering if there were any fc issues because of the change. Thanks.

I'm like a deer in the headlights with so many offerings in the Realm of the Hero.

Firerat's?

Does this ROM work with Firerat's mod? Also sorry if I'm missing this but is the camera/gps working. I've read through most the pages but couldn't find anything as to if they are.

Looks like a great ROM and I'm glad to see people are still working hard on our old HERO!

I applied tweakes v6/v8 and kernel but noticing having issues making calls I wonder if it's the tweaks any guesses?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Majin101:
I've installed those tweaks and have no call problem
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bravo1565:
Really mine only happens making calls only occasionally
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 24601:
My calls are working fine, too. You may want to post the issue in the supercharger thread to see if anyone else has the issue. The v6 tweaks are memory management tweaks, and should not effect call service.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] JeffW8:
I'm using Firerat's mod with this rom, and it's wonderful. My settings are 110 18, but people may be using lower numbers than that.

I actually can't use the stock still camera (video works), but I hear it works for others. I use Camera360 instead. Everything else works.

I just installed it, running great so far with the .29 kernel. One difference that i've noticed, is my market downloading more than 1 app now. The past roms that I ran always installed by 1's, I thought it was a new thing for sprint but apparently not.. =P
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Drunkpilot:
I an pretty sure that you could use firerat's on any rom since you are just partitioning your internal storage. I use mtd 110 2 and I still have about 14mb left in system. I do pullout a few things.

I am using Aug. 14th with the. 35 kernal and v6 tweaks and it is running great. Guess I'll have to see how my phone handles 2.3.5. The switch from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4 was a little rocky for some reason. Took the use of fixflash on about a month of mightly's back in Feb.

Just moved to Jaybob's builds recently and feels smoother.

Anyways, here are the issues I have encountered so far:

1. Stock camera and/or Retro camera does not work (known issue)

2. Doodle fit game does not work. When I start the game, the screen gets all messy and then it says cannot connect to Amazon appstore and just gets stuck. I have to kill the app to get back. Yes, I installed this game from Amazon appstore

Running:

Jaybob's build from Aug 14th

Ondemand 352 710

Firerat's 105 2

No other tweaks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] andythegreenguy:
Problem 1 solved, min frequency was low... Set it to 352.

Update: Spoke too soon, I think the reboot fixed it for a bit, but it's back to not working again. Anyways, as this is a known issue... I'll just wait :).

Anyone know of a Google Voice for Dummies thread you can point me to? I swear everytime I setup from scratch, the GVoice setup is different! :eek: I just want to use GVoice for voicemail, but it insists on taking the text messages too. So I have eliminated the notifications and such so that the phone doesn't show them in two places, but the GVoice inbox is still filling up with copies of the texts.

This was not the case the last time I set it up.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PRGUY85:
Currently recallibrating battery after full wipe and flash. Snce aug13 build I've been noticing shorter battery life. During recallibration while I was sleeping my phone went from 70 to 0 without it being touched one single time. After charging it up again I'm noticing same trend. Spare parts and battery use do not display any rogue app keeping it awake. However spare parts do show the phone as running 99% of time after unplugging it. In that time I have uses the phone two times for less than two minutes. So what gives?

Could it be that one of the tweaks is still present on my system? Perhaps the kernel tweak?

[Hero CDMA Android Development] Freeroot:
I'm actually somewhat in the mood to convert another user to the firerat clan :) it's really quite a simple process. Ahem, you do not need a computer for this, BUT it does make it a bit easier.. I must warn you, there is nearly no risk to doing this other than the risks present every time you boot to recovery also, you are going to be soo happy when you are finished :) Phew, now I'll start by saying that I am one of the few people who has actually read the entire OP by Firerat and it is truly genius. Foo_Blyat gave a wonderful explanation of what the mod does:

"Pretend your phone is a pizza cut into 3 even pieces. Each piece is memory for /cache, /system, /data. Your aneroxic sister "aka cache" doesnt eat a lot so most of her slice will always be left, your fat obese brother "/data" always eats his whole slice and is left wanting more. You are healthy "/system" and only eat what you need and never less never more.

What this mod is doing is taking that original pizza and RECUTTING the slices to better fit whos eating them, so since your aneroxic sister barely eats and your obese brother is always hungry it takes all the extra pizza "aka memory" from your sister and gives it to your brother. As for you "aka /system" you only eat exactly what you need "aka the size of the rom and files it install" so it resizes your own slice to exactly the number it needs to install the rom and its gapps/files and leaves you with just a little wiggle room."

there are three main files you need. I suggest version 1.5.8 as you have to do less work and it is the latest stable release.

for this, you will need a file called "recovery-v1.5.8-CustomMTD_S.zip", "boot-v1.5.8-CustomMTD_S.zip", and you will need to make a text file with the name "mtdpartmap.txt" inside of this file, type "mtd 110 15". IT MUST BE WORDED AND SPACED EXACTLY AS SHOWN. the first number is the size being allocated to system and the second is being allocated to cache. The remainder will be data. These sizes will be different for different roms. All three files must be on the root of your sdcard. The downloadable files can be tricky to find, so I found them for you: http://www.mediafire.com/?lifib6a9ptj5j#1pcwmbdd9kqpc,1

if you have any questions as to what to do when flashing, ask, if you are cusious to learn more, here is the original post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=717874

and here is the post by Foo_Blyat: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=754805

It's honestly totally bomb and you can download the files straight to your phone as they are very small files. (345 kb a piece). I have also attached the necessary .txt file and it is the exact size of my current partitions on this rom. Let anyone of us know if you have questions, hope this helps all who are curious about it <3

Some have found that the only fix ( besides rebooting ) is to install the .29 kernel.

Tweaks aren't there and still phone is running 99% of time with battery draining like crazy. Again, there is no rogue app keeping it awake, at least not evident in Battery Status or Spare Parts. Any ideas?

I could test OMGB/OMFGB roms to compare yet VVM does not work on those phones. At least, not that I'm aware off.

Okay, what recovery are you using? are you using clockwork mod?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fredrick1213:
Can I do the Firerats thing while I have my apps installed and will it erase anything? Or do I have to wipe and reflash the ROM to do it? Sorry I'm still trying to find out the benefits of doing this =P
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Freeroot:
Hmmm.. I don't mean to offend you, but you should really consider reading about this stuff. You will need to wipe everything for it to work. If you are worried about losing stuff, titanium backup is free on the market and it will make it much easier.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ch1naski:
You can do a nandroid and restore it after flashing fr-recovery and before fr-boot. Just do a df -h command in Terminal emulator first to see what system should be set at.....

And, yea, the answers are all there in the fr thread
[Hero CDMA Android Development] JeffW8:
I hear Titanium Backup is great, but I never got on board. After the last full wipe, I just went to the Android Market website and clicked on the install button for all the apps I wanted back on my phone. Works really well.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] 24601:
I know I should let this go, but so much floundering makes me queasy. Fredrick, go back to foo_blyat's thread and read everything again . . . 3 times. Pay particular attention to when he says if you don't understand what this does or how to do it, then don't do it. If after heeding that warning you still want to go forward, follow these steps:

Make sure FR-recovery-v1.5.8-CustomMTD_S.zip and FR-boot-v1.5.8-CustomMTD_S.zip are on the root of your sdcard.

1.	Create a txt file (you can use root explorer) named mtdpartmap.txt, and place it on the root of your sdcard. Open the mtdpartmap file and add this line to the top: mtd 120 18. Save the file.

2.	Boot into Recovery Using CWM

3.	Perform a Nandroid Backup

4.	mounts and storage Menu:

a.	Format Boot

b.	Format System

c.	Format Data

d.	Format Cache​

- go back to main CWM menu.

5.	Advanced Menu > Wipe Dalvik Cache

- go back to main CWM menu.

6.	Flash FR-recovery-v1.5.8-CustomMTD_S.zip

7.	mounts and storage Menu:

a.	Format Boot

b.	Format System

c.	Format Data

d.	Format Cache​

8.	Advanced Menu > Wipe Dalvik Cache

9.	Advanced Menu > Reboot Recovery

10.	mounts and storage Menu:

a.	Format Boot

b.	Format System

c.	Format Data

d.	Format Cache​

- go back to main CWM menu.

11.	Advanced Menu > Wipe Dalvik Cache

- back to main CWM menu.

12.	Flash ROM of choice; or Nandroid Restore (you probably want this option)

13.	{optional} Flash Kernel (if using special kernel)

14.	{optional} Flash Battery Tweak (if using a tweak)

15.	{optional} Flash Gapps (if you need Gapps for new ROM)

16.	Flash FR-boot-v1.5.8-CustomMTD_S.zip. Important, must do this or won’t boot.

17.	Reboot

Lemme know how it goes.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ch1naski:
I was assuming that he at least had read the formatting steps..... Guess that old saying about assuming is true. :)

Edit: Frederick, make sure you reboot RECOVERY, not system, on step 19. read carefully the steps he posted.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ch1naski:
Edit. Bad post......
[Hero CDMA Android Development] suckoos:
Completely agree, I started using FR back in January and have never looked back. Faster than a2sd, fewer bugs, apps run better on internal memory in my opinion. Few (if any) drawbacks.

Firerat's was my 1st tweak after rooting and some cm6.2. I have always used it since and it is 2nd nature now. Learn those steps. Screwing up did teach me a lot though.

Type "df -h" in terminal emulator and look at your system, data, and cache partion.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jamega2f:
when i do that i see system: 62% data: 69% cache:13%

what does that mean?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Freeroot:
hmm.. well /system should be at about 98%.. what were your steps? what is the sized of /cache? it should say something like:

....................................size ......... used ......... available....... used%.........mounted

/dev/block/mtdblock3.......110.0m ...... X .................blah ........blah% ........./system

/dev/block/mtdblock5........334.5m ...... Y ................blah......... blah% ........./data

/dev/block/mtdblock4........15.0m .........Z ............... blah ..........blah%........... /cache

the size of /system should be shown there and /cache there. if the sizes aren't like this, Firerat didn't work.

7.flash boot-v1.5.8-CustomMTD_S.zip

8.reboot

did i miss something??

>>my cache size is 130.0M
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Freeroot:
Yes, here are the steps you should follow:

1. Move appropriate files to the root of your sdcard.

2. Reboot Recovery.

3. Nandroid Backup.

4. Wipe /Cache and /Data (I will literally do this 4 times consecutively as it keeps errors from occurring due to leftover information that was unable to get wiped. Just to be certain.)

5. Go into mounts and storage and format /data, /system, /cache and /boot. IMPORTANT: only wipe these. If you wipe sdcard, you are in trouble.

6. Go to advanced and wipe Dalvik Cache.

7. Flash recovery-v1.5.8-CustomMTD_S.zip.

8. Go back into mounts and storage and format /data, /system, and /cache. You can format /boot if you want to, but I generally don't the second time.

9. Go into advanced and select reboot recovery.

10. Nandroid Restore.

11. Flash boot-v1.5.8-CustomMTD_S.zip.

12. Reboot and enjoy your 334.5 mb of /data :)

Let me know if you have any trouble. If you are using CWM 3.0.x.x or 4.0.x.x, to format /data, /system, /cache and /boot, you will need to go elsewhere, I don't remember where exactly. Good luck.

I ended up porting my number to GV because of some problems with GV voicemail and I figured it might be because I just used it as vm and never ported my number. Now I did and I have the same texting issues that I had read about. Stupid. I don't see why they don't let you turn it off. Now i just get all notifications through my sms app.

Is there anything that could make this rom any better? I can't think of anything. Thanks again Jaybob!

[Hero CDMA Android Development] cmason1015:
If you are referring to the fact that texts go to GV instead of your phone, this is part of the whole GV/Sprint number integration thing. Everytime I'd flash a rom and install GV from the market it would do this. I ended up just restoring a backup of GV instead.

To turn it off go to the GV website and in the Settings->Phones tab uncheck "Receive text messages on this phone."

You have to flash the rom first then the .29 kernel. Are you flashing the most recent version of gapps? You do this after you flash the kernel.

nice surprise! didn't realize 2.3.5 was out.. gonna flash right over 08July and see how that works... what is the lastest gapps and do any of you kind gentleman have a link to it? latest i have is 3.25.

incidentally,since i haven't chimed in awhile and wanted to let everyone know that gps/gmaps is still working strong, but camera is sh1te on .35 make no mistake. camera 360 is slow than molasses going up hill in the winter, unreliable, and the res is too low. was hoping to see an update to KERN .35 more than anything else, but beggars can't be choosers this late in the game i suppose. :)

thanks for the link! forgot about that!

meanwhile in gotham city.... Hero was behaving craptacular today... camera of course still doesn't work in any way shape or form on .35. I'm sure if I go back to .29 kernel, no way, shape, or form of customization will yield me proper gmaps consistent fix which is more of a deal breaker than a crappy camera.

Hmmm... wonder how I'll fare w/ the CM7 action will yield me; experiemental or stable.

The .35 kernel takes a while to warm up. The longer on your phone, the better it gets

(To a point obviously) . What are your CPU settings and governor? I go with 264/710 with ondemand. Mine will do 768, but I really didn't see an improvement over 710. Jaybob recommends a 352 min. And ondemand or interactive governors.

I also use the kernel tweaks from v6 which changes the scheduler from bfq to noop (with the I/o tweaks I use). I have also gone into spare parts and changed all animations to fast. Every phone reacts differently though. You could also download the. 29 kernel in the op to see how that works.
