[Hero CDMA Android Development] Flagmax:
Anyone noticed that some times the icons on the statusbar would change colors? Between green and white? I think it happens when toggling WIFI.

Also, can anyone recommend a different status bar? I remember liking the status bar from ASOP 0.9.9.2, it looked cleaner imo.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dastin1015:
White = not connected to Google

Green = connected
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Flagmax:
Thanks, learned something new.

Its a feature of Android 2.3.4 and I thought it was some weird bug. :o
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cheyennemtn:
Everytime I get ready to get rid of my Hero or throw it against the wall a new rom comes out ! Craziest thing ever-It just won't die quietly. Thanks Jacob.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cheyennemtn:
Got it installed yesterday and all my apps back up and running. I've noticed it being very responsive. Connectivity all good. I thought the battery drain was about what I usually get for this phone depending on what I'm doing. I don't think any Mod is going to solve the ridiculous battery drain of this phone. I also have the worst time on my phone when I press down on an app to move to a different screen, it often times like this morning won't do anything or the app opens up. I think its my fingers being cold. Great MOD really like it. Thanks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Freeroot:
For all who are interested

I have made a circle battery mod for this rom and figured I'd be a nice guy and share it <3 have a nice day. Flashable from recovery.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alonsoarellano:
Awesome! do i need to wipe data? or just cache?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Freeroot:
I had a relatively fresh flash, so I didn't actually wipe anything. I'm actually not sure though, I really wish I could provide more information, but every time I do a mod like this, or alter something in the rom, I actually do a full wipe and reinstall. It's just second nature by now and I've has SHTF so much that I see it better as the alternative. I'm curious about this though, if a more advanced dev wouldn't mind providing some input..?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mehta35:
Few Questions.

I've read through a lot of the pages (not ALL of them like I did with ASOP's GB rom) but I'm still not sure about a few things.

First off, which GAPPS should I use with the rom? Is the Universal GAPPS package the best one? Here is the link I got from the OP in CM Nightlies: http://goo-inside.me/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip

Second, If I remove the additional themes, and maybe add a few mods using UOT, what would be a good estimate for my partition size? I see a lot of people using 105 2, 110 18 or 120 18. I'll be using FR 1.5.8. Also, I shouldn't have to do SOBE's or any other market fix right?

Third, what are your opinions on the V6 Supercharger script. Is it needed, if not, is it useful? Are there any downsides? Any info would be appreciated.

**EDIT** Fourth, I know that Android added support for Hindi script in 2.3.5. Will I be able to view that with this ROM? When I was on AOSP 2.3.4, I couldn't view any characters other than our standard ABCs in the Google translate app. I really need to be able to view characters in Hindi and Chinese. Also could I remove languages like Hebrew, Arabic and Thai if I don't need them?

Last and most important, Jaybob, you are truly awesome!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ahecht:
I'm getting weird rendering errors with the most recent version of Google Maps and this ROM. Route numbers and Exit numbers show up as white squares, text is garbled, and various features flash on and off. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, clearing caches, etc.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thanku7:
I tested GPS and Navi on Zero Hero Sense rom. I got same problem. white small boxes are on screen.... Why the same problem on different rom? because of same kernel? or same app?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Majin101:
i believe the problem is the updated maps
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mehta35:
So I've tried flashing this ROM a few times, but have yet to be fully successful.. Never had a problem flashing ROMs before, but this one seems to hate me!

I got the ROM flashed, but both the 3-25 and 8-28 GApps did not flash correctly and resulted in no market. I asked a few questions the other day also.. does anybody have some input that may help? Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Freeroot:
I'd love to help. Is there anyway you could provide me with more information? Like the steps you used to be more specific. Also, were you able to actually boot into the rom, but the problem lies in getting gapps to flash?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dawgz:
Yeah, i got the white squares too, so uninstalled the new updated maps and went back to 5.8 and no white boxes and GPS better. I got older versions here: http://www.freewarelovers.com/android/app/google-maps I am currently using 5.8 and there's no white squares and GPS is good.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mehta35:
I'm coming from AOSP 2.3.4 w/ MTD 82 18. CW 3.0.0.5

Cleared Data/Factory Reset

Cleared Cache

Format Boot, System, Data, Cache

Wipe Dalvik Cache

Flash ROM

Flash GApps

Restart System

I did nothing with MTD, so I thought that it would not be applied.. however now that I think about it I might have to completely remove it using the 1.5.8 remove zip.. or I guess I could just use firerats with roughly 110 18?

Also I was wondering what is making this ROM so much larger than AOSP 2.3.4. My system is using ~77mB with that. :confused:

I had some other important questions in my last post if you wanted to look at that too. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20471429&postcount=1239

Thanks for the help!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Freeroot:
You may want to go with something like mtd 120 15 or something like that. If you are unsure, go into terminal emulator and type df -h

press enter and that should tell you the size of system, data, etc.

Now, how many times did you wipe data and cache? I generally do it like 4 or 5 time consecutively. This may fix it. As for the version of gapps. I also use the august 28th version (20110828).

EDIT: Also, in reference to the difference in size between the AOSP rom and Jaybob's, I remember AOSP was really focused on trimming up bloat and optimizing for firerat users. Really, you are still given lots of room with this rom compared to RU. Past that, I really don't know. I know this is a MUCH more updated version of GB, but we're talking an additional 40mb of system..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mehta35:
Yeah I mean I've wiped plenty of times, and I was able to boot into the ROM, just the GApps didn't work. I tried 3 25 and 8-28.. I guess I'll have to keep trying. I think I'll try doing MTD 120 and then check partition usage like you suggested. Do you know why this is so much larger than AOSP 2.3.4? I'm at 76.3M for system there..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Freeroot:
Sorry, I edited my previous post, but this is what I added. Not sure if you'd notice it or not. "Also, in reference to the difference in size between the AOSP rom and Jaybob's, I remember AOSP was really focused on trimming up bloat and optimizing for firerat users.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] mehta35:
Yeah, that's what I figured. Sadly, I have wayyyyy too many apps for our mighty Hero. :mad: I need to upgrade (I'm eligible) but I just don't see any phones that I really want. The SGS2 is nice, but it's already getting out of date.. Sprint's Android outlook isn't looking great either *sigh*

Thanks for your help anyways!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] genuser:
I've got this running on two phones. The 8-28 gapps didn't work for me either. I went back to the 6-13 gapps I have and they worked fine.

Attempting to compile a HeroC nightly so maybe someone can update TeamHeroC with CM7 tip... its 20Gb~ on my hdd for total source... such a pita...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Ebaum1:
Anyone know if there is a way to tweak the notifications in this ROM? There is only one sound for everything instead of having separate for each. Also....what about a weather widget/digital clock for home screen...are there apk's that I can just add,or must they be cooked in?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Hippie459MN:
Set the notification sound in the app. Works perfect here. My text/mms is one sound and I set it in Handcent, My facebook notification sounds are something else and I set that in the facebook/friendscaster app, etc...

As for clock/weather widget, I use Beautiful Widgets. Just look in the market for clock/weather widgets.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Ebaum1:
Yeah....thought about that after I hit send! thanks though...we all have our moments.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Ebaum1:
Video issues

Anyone know what might cause very distorted video ? My settings are normal, nothing special. Not overclocked, no firerats....

It was like when there is a bad storm and your direct TV gets all digitally distorted and chunky.....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ch99tj:
What are you using the play video? Check and see if you are using hardware decoding or software decoding? I can't remember if it was this phone or my NC but software decoding worked much better. Also, have you flashed a different kernel? if so, flash the rom back over it as see if that helps.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Ebaum1:
I think it was a digital auto zoom issue....I was trying to take video at the gatorbowl....normal distance seems to be fine, but when I played back the footage from the game it was all junked up. Thanks though.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Hammerfest:
jaybob, its not much, but I had the dev who does the ROM for my HD2 build/compile the HeroC nightly into a zip (since the CM team wont fix the buildbot), its from the 16th, would you update this ROM if I gave you the link?

Please/thanks...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaybob413:
I will post an update to this based on the current github sources in the next day or two. I need to do a clean build to clean up some stuff I added for testing.

I will not be able to test it as my HeroC is not functional atm. :(

When I am done, I will post a link for testing before updating the OP.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Hammerfest:
thats where it was built from :P the CM7 source's... but if your going to pull/build it yourself, thats a different matter :D

What happened to your HeroC?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaybob413:
Here is a normal full build TeamHeroC-7.2.X-19JAN.zip

I have some problems with my phone charging, so I can't easily test atm. If there are no issues, I will add it to the OP.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Hammerfest:
ill give it a go when i get home tonight

also, at this point, calling it 7.2.0 RC0 is a bit misleading and confusing :P just call it 7.2.X :P because the actual RC0 build was bugged to all hell (on my Evo Shift and HD2 at least...)

EDIT: charging issue? like if you move the cable it does/doesnt start charging? I had that on my HD2 and my friends i fixed, i just reheated then hot glued over my USB port and been working like a charm for the last year :P
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaybob413:
That sounds reasonable, as the RC0 will probably be the last version tag, regardless of any updates. It is at least a cleaner fade than CM6 was, and the few ongoing mods pull cleanly.

Cable wiggling does not start charging. Probably a loose connection, as there is no apparent physical damage. I will have to disassemble and see what the story is.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jasonmaloney:
Guys, Sprint sells no-contact refurbished Heroes pretty cheaply right now (less than $50). If we all put in a few dollars, jaybob could get a fully-functional testing device.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaybob413:
Thanks for the thought, but I think I should be able to get it working once I get some time. I am not sure how much I will be continuing to work on HeroC development anyway, due to time constraints and hardware limitations, but I do appreciate the gesture.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Drunkpilot:
And we appreciate you! I have been on a jobless jag or I would love to get a you, and a couple others a hero.

I was going to write about how well this rom is running for me. I quit using the v6 tweaks awhile ago and it performs just as well, of not better. I think the tweaks helped in the early stages of builds with some things, but this thing is so smooth and snappy- it always does its job. I can't wait to test the new build.

I've been trying out some different ones lately, but I always come back to this one when I know I need a consistently working phone in all aspects. Thanks JB, I really appreciate your efforts. It seems to have rubbed off on some others as well and that is appreciated too.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Drunkpilot:
I've been using the new build and it's worked like every other one... great! Only haven't used Bluetooth yet. Flashed over last with a dalvik wipe.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ohbuckeyeman:
So if I can send you my retired hero can I use it to bribe you to jump ship to evo 3d? I'm missing the quality work you put out there for everyone....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Majin101:
runnin that build u just posted jaybob, its running very nicely! It seems faster than the old one imo.. and usually after a day or so it would get little laggy but this one is still going well.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] waqasr:
Keep up the good work!!!

I am using the 19th Jan version so far everything works.

I did not use the GPS for long but it connects okay at the moment.

I will report if I have any issues but I doubt I will have any issues

(God Willing) since all JayBob's versions are very stable.

Thanks a lot JayBob for all the wonderful work you have done!!!

God Bless

I just have 2 questions, I have a Battery Mod for your previous

version (30th Nov). Will it work for your 19th Jan release ?

Do I need to recalibrate my battery when I flash your latest version

over the previous one ? (I cleared only Dalvik Cache when I flashed)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaybob413:
Sorry, no 3vo for me. I will likely go with the Photon or wait for the Galaxy Nexus.

Update Posted - 19-JAN-2012

After no reports of issues, I have updated the OP with the test version I posted a couple of days ago. This is the same as the previous post. Only the names have been changed to protect the guilty.

I was thinking about the Galaxy also... Imo it'd be the more cutting edge device

Just updated, and for some reason, my gapps are gone, and all my settings for every app are reset.

Anything I can give you, like logcats? Didn't make a nandroid.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Hippie459MN:
If you did a full wipe all that will be gone.

Time to update my old retired Hero just for the heck of it. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Nilxchaos:
Only Dalvik and regular cache. It's odd.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] clutterking:
Using the 19 Jan version without any problems. Thanks to everyone on xda for continuing to give life into my old hero!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Majin101:
only problem i noticed was when i swipe a notification it freezes my notification and can't touch anything on it. only happened twice though
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ohbuckeyeman:
Oh well. I almost got the photon too...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Hammerfest:
OnTopic: I hear theres supposed to be a handful of CM7 updates this week

OffTopic: I wanted to get the photon, but I wanted the GSM to be unlocked so I could use it with TMo or SimpleMobile (yes i know, it would be edge only if it where even possible), but thats never going to happen, great looking phone tho... Galaxy Note is my next stop after my HD2 dies

Does anyone know if Firerats settings of 110 18 still work with this build?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tutone:
I'm currently running the November 19th version of TeamHeroC rom and I want to know what steps I would have to take to flash my phone to the newest rom..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] drlzanej:
Wipe data, cashe , dalvic and flash away. Wat more is there to know....:)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ajrty33:
Or just cache and dalvik and keep all your data :/
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Hammerfest:
Right, so i was doing some testing with my HD2 for WiFi, and found something wonky!

Is this Kernel still from Oct22nd? Or is it the CM7 built one? I ask because they did some WiFi fix's (at least it was mentioned in the core to HD2 changelog of my HD2 kernel) and I notice my HD2's WiFi much snappier to respond from screen power off them my HeroC, but I do remember my HD2 used to behave the same!

Just curious... as its nothing other then my @Home phone, its not a huge issue, just wanted to know because of what I noticed while messin with my HD2...

Thanks again

Latest Update

I flashed the latest update yesterday and it seems that the same issue with losing audio on a call after a couple minutes that is in ICS, has now been introduced into this latest build as well. Just a heads up.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chiill:
GPS?

Has anyone tested the GPS functionality with Maps/Navigation?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jmocherman:
I have used TeamHeroC since it was first released and have never had an audio issue. I've been on the latest update since the day it was released and have had zero issues of any kind.

Your audio issue during calls must be isolated to your phone. What other settings are you using? Firerats, etc...???
[Hero CDMA Android Development] laie1472:
Flashed the latest on my wifes hero and I must say this is nothing short of a master piece. Data2ext 2048ext2 partition installed with no problems at all, reads just under 2gb of internal mem under setting/sd & phone storage. Data,mms,text,wifi, gps all perform smooth as butter. Scrolling, opening/closing apps,app switching,phone calls,audio, and bluetooth all function as they should. No shutdown,rebooting or call loss. Battery life is astonishing on stock kernel. Thanks for all the hard work and a great rom.

My best time on this rom!!

This is with 2 hours talk time probably my best time so far!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pfrederickjr:
I am using firerats 130 4, I guess it could be specific to my phone but it only started immediately after flashing to the latest update. I just ended up wiping it and flashing CM 7.1.0.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Drunkpilot:
That's crazy! Do you have wifi and data turned off and use only 1 screen? I get about 12-18 hours.

I don't care if we have returned to legacy device status anymore, this phone still is worthy. of course, it is only worthy because of the great Dev's that keep this phone relevant or we would still be at 2.1 update 1 and be stoked to get 8 hours out of our batteries. We have a good cast of forum characters too that are all willing to test and help to take the Hero to the limit.

Glad to see some of you back in Hero Land!

---------- Post added at 11:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:42 AM ----------

I have never had that issue on any of the builds since the beginning. Only on the update? Maybe try formatting everything to clean everything out and make sure there are no left over dingleberries stuck in one of the partitions. Good wiping leads to good rom behavior. I wipe/format 3x (system, data, cache, dalvik, and boot) just out of habit, but I have seen wallpapers show up from the previous rom when I don't on more than 1 occasion.

I use firerat's as well: 105 2.

Do you have everything updated (radio, PRL, etc)? I have never heard about the sound going out on a call. Not even back when Gingerbread was in it's infancy on the hero (like last February).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] waqasr:
I have 3 screens, I only turn on data/wifi when needed I use widgets for them. I also use extended batteries 1900mhs. I mostly use my phone for talking not for listening to music or playing games or browsing.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MECHAnized:
I'm having a bootloop issue. Coming from CM7.1 I wiped data, and cache and flashed the rom. Booted up fine but I forgot to flash gapps. After flashing the gapps I get to the first screen where it says to touch the android, then it just keeps alternating between this screen and the bootup screen. Where did I go wrong?

EDIT: After trying a handful of different gapps version I finally got it working. But now it seems I cant receive SMS messages..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NineInchNails:
Rewipe everything. Flash ROM then gapps and don't forget it this time :) then boot.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chiill:
Just an update:

I tried the using Maps, Navigation, Telenav, and Runkeeper with no luck on getting the GPS to work properly. All the apps get my position at the beginning but don't seem to track/update as I move along or cause the phone to reboot. I have another Hero with the same issue and this has been an ongoing problem since the release of CM7.1. and the Nov build of this ROM.

Before going back to a previous version of CM, I'm just wondering if anyone has a suggestion to try other than using the GPS Status app. I also tried clearing the cache and doing fresh installs.

P.S.

Other than the GPS problem this ROM has been working great. Thanks Jaybob!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MECHAnized:
Does the Google Voice and Youtube app forceclose for anyone else?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jmocherman:
I have no problem with either of these force closing. What settings are you using? Firerats? Are you overclocked?

I would try a permissions fix in rom manager if you haven't already. If that doesn't work try clearing cache and delvik and reflashing the zip.

Good luck!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dawgz:
Has anyone experienced a frozen notification panel/window? I have it happen to me twice, each time I tried to swipe a notification away, it only goes half-way and got stuck, and I can't use the notification window/panel again, ie. none funtional notification power widget, can't scroll the notification list, can't swipe to clear. I haven't find anyway to reset this except to restart the phone.....

I'm running the latest version Jan19th with firerats at 105/20 no JIT, CPU 710/325

also one tiny thing, has anyone else notice the GPS icon once activated doesn't go away from the notification bar?

Thanks in advance!

[Hero CDMA Android Development] ajrty33:
can somebody please merge my pull request?

please?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NineInchNails:
I'll try to see if I can get JB or pstevep to merge it, I don't have access to TeamHeroC repo. JB might change that if I ask. The change will stay on your side unless you git pull again. So if your doing a build your fine. It will just matter to the master side of the repo.
