Ok.... so, I tried another nand backup. same thing. it's been stuck on "backing up data..." for over five minutes now. Has anyone else tried to do a nand with the latest salsa?

It's a fresh flash of CWM recovery 2.5.0.7, shouldn't be a problem. I backed up my last rom last night (jaybob's aosp), and flash cwm recovery to erase firerat. Then flashed format-all.zip, and installed FR with appropriate settings. Not sure how the backup process works, other than that it stores the final product on the sdcard. Maybe it has a temp cache that it writes to first, before writing to the sd? And maybe it's running out of that cache ? Hell, I dunno......

EDIT:

Huh. the data image in the nand backup shows 2.5 GIGABYTES. something is awry here....

EDIT #2...

Yup, it used up every last inch of space on my sdcard.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flashinglights:
@chinaski: Have you tried backing up using rom manager instead? I just backed up the rom using the backup feature in the app to see if it would work, and I have a 309mb backup folder sitting on my memory card which seems about right. Haven't tried restoring it though..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ch1naski:
yes, the same results. Also went into recovery and then ran adb shell, and saw 3 dalvik-cache folders, all same size, same contents, same time/date stamp. from recovery, i wiped dalvik, and one folder was erased. so i did it again, next folder erased, same for the third.

Then I wiped cache, and rebooted from recovery while running logcat. now it's bootlooping around the part where it's dealing with audio.....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
so what do you guys think do we have beta material here?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ch1naski:
Definitely beta. Runs smooth. I have been taking it thru the paces all day, everything seems kosher. Might want to tell people that are app junkies that they will want to look into a2sd or FR. ( i'm running it with FR set at 165 -pushing it close- and 100.) Dude, I love this rom. It really is like having a new phone.It makes Sense fun again.

USB connection menu doen't pop up (maybe a setting i've missed?), but it will still connect to my win xp pc.

Easily Beta. You ( and Tazz, and anyone else that help bring this together) should be proud. It's an awesome achievement that has flown under the radar.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flashinglights:
Agreed, this is beta..

Like ch1naski said this rom runs great, only issues I've had are the weather fc's and system fc's after reboot but I'm sure those will get sorted out later on.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
atleast if nothing else the bulk of the work is done, just somebody with a little more know how than i needs to fix the few remaining issues.

unfortunately there are very few resources on how to patch those issues and i am limited experienced so as it is
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ch1naski:
Pretty awesome for a guy without an active heroc. This will be my daily. any little quirks are worth it.

Anyone who wants to see what a challenge this beast must be to port over, watch a logcat as it boots. I have a hard time believing it runs at all. :eek:

Hey, TK, this rom doesn't have an init.d folder ( that I can find...). Did you get the ramscript to work on this build? ( i know you didn't incorporate it)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flashinglights:
Somebody in the sense thread over on the euro hero forums said they were having the same problems with the weather animations so if someone doesn't find a fix for it here hopefully they'll find one over there. Either way good job kyle.

they were working perfectly on tazz4.1 maybe a little apk swapping action might work?

P.S: I still need to get around to donating to you..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
The init.d folder is probably part of the reason why USB doesn't mount just a guess and no I didn't flash it
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ch1naski:
No big. my guess is that autokiller will deal with the memory issues just fine.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
Like I said there is some spring cleaning and a few other little things yet but I wanted to get something out for you guys right in time for the holiday weekend
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ch1naski:
This would be it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flashinglights:
After some snooping around I found this:

this should fix the weather animations crashing. :]
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ch1naski:
thanks for the info, flash.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jurellz:
For some reason I just wanna cry. Good job you people.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] GeezyAF:
Definitely beta material. The little things like "no service" can be over looked.

Just needs a speed boost, is all.

Might look into data2ext for that.

Thank you weather is working great now with sound off.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] JieeHD:
@thoughtlesskyle Sorry I haven't been reading my PM's, been getting too many from people wanting a fix for some issue or another. If you want PM me with your talk address and I'll help you as best as I can.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
Actually I think a large chunk of issues are fixed, and I know how those pm's go. Thank you for the base btw, the only issues to my knowledge are the weather animations that we have a work around for, and the carrier label which is different since most gsm phones pull the label off the sim.

I will pm you my gtalk and see what we can do but the bulk of the stuff I pmed you for is fixed
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Houndog101:
How do I change themes ? or can I ? Theme chooser is not on this market.. I'd really like Dark Horse theme on this rom.. Other then that everything's working on this build (haven't had any rain yet so not sure about weather, but its working as is).. Thanks Kyle..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] igtheactt1:
I love this rom, it's incredible! Only problem im having is my phone never sleeps... I mean "Never"
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Drunkpilot:
I'm so glad it's the weekend so that I can flash this rom now. Thanks Kyle, I have been having a lot of fun with this and I have always been amazed at how well they run and how much faster (yes, I said faster) some of my "kill time" games play. I have also started to understand the lag issues that Liquid Sense has talked about before. I've never run a sense rom with an oc'd kernal before, but going back to aosp/cm7+ I do notice more of a lag after using the Gin and Tonic or Mild_Salsa. So, great job guys (all the porters, tweakers, and testers), now I can throw firecrackers at drunk bike riders while holding a Gin and Salsa in my other hand. Hopefully, the Hero will be sleeping at times too. Thanks for the heads up Mr. Cat ^^^^. Watch out for the falling bullets in the LBC man!

Stay safe everybody. It's hard to flash without fingers!:D

Thanks oostah, I'll give it a try...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
Themes for sense can be found in the hub, as far as using darkhorse since HTC uses its own framework all of the image calls would be different so even if the theme Chooser was ported over it wouldnt change the appearance like it does on cm or AOSP
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Houndog101:
OK, I understand, thanks Kyle for your continued support on this rom , especially for those of us staying with the hero...:)

Loving this ROM, but us there any chance of Facebook for HTC Sense being included at some point?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
Pretty confident it is in there I tested friend stream with it and it also had me authorize the Facebook button
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jurellz:
edit: question? Remap Seach Key For Facebook button also? and add fb chat
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Coolaaron88:
Facebook chat is already there
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Coolaaron88:
I didnt see it in the account settings, just Twitter for HTC Sense. Maybe Im mistaken
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ch1naski:
That's weird. I didn't see twitter, just facebook (htc) and fb chat

[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jurellz:
I'm finnaa flash this, I've been using the china salsa rom posted in the other forum for the longest, so sorry for asking that question.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] igtheactt1:
Twitter is actually inside peep... There's little lag and a few things like phone always staying awake that's keeing me from running this. But I love this rom especially all of the sense customizations
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flashinglights:
What do you'll mean by never sleeping?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Bierce22:
his phone just needs a shot of wiski thatll put it to sleep lmao.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jurellz:
Can someone recommend what to setcpu to? it autoset me 19-691 is tht good?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Bierce22:
i would do 352-691 ondemand and battery will last forever or at least it does on cm7 lol. Anything below 352 i have music streaming issues.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jurellz:
Thankss.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ch1naski:
I would suggest 352 min 691 max, ondemand. A lower min can make it seem laggy opening the lockscreen (even with ondemand.) It's a very demanding rom , no pun intended. And also dont forget to take advantage of the POWER settings. You can set different features to save power when the battery level gets below a certain percentage. Nice.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Bierce22:
sorry but i beat you to it on that one lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ch1naski:
Curses, foiled again!

[Hero CDMA Android Development] igtheactt1:
Sleep as in awake time... It kills the battery when your phone is constantly awake. When you hit that power button its supposed to sleep which helps to conserve battery
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fredrick1213:
So you're saying your screen doesn't go off or your lockscreen doesn't show up?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ch1naski:
Install a program to see what is causing the wake lock (something like spare parts....) I haven't noticed any problems like that, and yours is the first I've heard of it happening. Maybe we can narrow it down to an app or process....

Gin and Salsa.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flashinglights:
From my understanding the phone is always "awake", by hitting the power button all you're doing is putting the phone in standby mode..

If you want the phone to "sleep" enable fastboot under the "power" category in settings and turn the phone off, this will turn off the phone completely. Once you're ready to use it again just turn it back on it'll load in a matter of seconds. :]
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bmxrider4444:
He is correct the phone will seem like it is sleeping, but not actually be asleep, this could be due to a number of things, the method you describe is more of a hibernation, with the sleep you get by using the power button should put the phone into a mode where most things shut down other than phone messages that sort of thing. Now I can't say I am experiencing this wake lock issue (what it has been dubbed on the EVO forums) as I haven't tested this on my Hero, but I know the issue can be quite common due to apps and even radio level stuff (such as on the EVO). Try using spare parts to help find the cause, or wipe the phone and reinstall the ROM, don't restore anything and see if you get the issues, if not start restoring apps until you figure it out.

One more tester cannot hurt.

I flashed this last night, and will be testing it out. I can't do much, but I can

certainly post results and, if needed, logcats. Seems like everything is well in

hand. This rom ran fine from square one, at least the rom that was available for

download as of 7/2/11 (last night). I tested this with the supplied Deca kernel,

and with the WIP 2.6.35 kernel, both seem to run about the same for me.

What's working for me;

GPS - locked almost immediately, while indoors. Navigation seemed to work fine,

the maps were a bit laggy, but is completely useable.

MMS - Can send and receive texts, cannot attach pictures (not a big issue)

HTC Hub - Works fine for me, sometimes locks up, but does let me browse and

download widgets.

WIFI - Connects to my router fine, have no need to try tethering at the moment.

BT - Connects to my plantronics headset fine, can make and receive calls, seems

to revert to being turned off on reboots.

CAMERA - Seems to work fine, a touch slower than a stock rom, but functional,

and better than it works on some roms.

I will test the phone as it sits with the 2.6.35 kernel, and if it starts acting

strangely, I will pull some logs, but as it sits, everything I need works, and I

am quite surprised with the lack of random reboots, and other quirkiness that

I've experienced with other sense and non-sense based roms.

Wish I could do more to help, but I figured an extra tester cannot hurt.

Does 587e649ee62b50597bfd97cddf5f4af4 look right for the MD5 checksum? Couldn't find it anywhere....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flashinglights:
Kyle, just a heads up tazz has a new build up for the Eris. Maybe porting against that one helps with the no service banner?

BTW, I tried messing with the eri.xml in framework-res.apk to see if I could get the carrier to show but to no avail. I was comparing it with the one from pmgrands Rom since that's a port from a gsm phone as well and I did see some differences but I know next to nothing at what I was looking at so I stopped before I borked something up.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alex_camacho:
Ok so I flashed this. It rocks. I really like the sense UI, but weather is wreaking havock on my phone. I'm talking constant fc on anything weather. I tried flashing Mild salsa 2, which has working weather. Then I backed up with titanium andrestored on Sensible salsa... no luck. Any sugestions? Keep up the AWESOME work. I'm not a programed but anything I can do to help let me know.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flashinglights:
Read a few pages back, there's a fix for this.

Oh thanks I must have missed it. I've been going nuts looking to fix this.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ch1naski:
Still not getting some incoming texts. and my damn recovery (2.5.0.7) won't nand this rom correctly. gonna try a reflash of 2.5.0.7, which sucks, now I have to redo FR and reflash Salsa. Here's to hoping a flashover works.....:D

Edit:

Thank god for s-off and fastboot. My recovery totally took a dump on me, no boot, no recovery, just fastboot (usb). whew. booting Sensible up as we speak. *fingers crossed*
[Hero CDMA Android Development] igtheactt1:
I would get incoming text but not the notification... Anyways I didn't need for anybody to get technical I was only speaking about the wake lock... But maybe it is an app causing it to stay awake.

Huh. All of a sudden, my sdcard has become read only. I haven't taken it out, or done anything I can think of to cause it. But I can't delete files like old nands.

Were you using swapper at all lately? Because swap can cause SD card failure my old SD card died pretty much the same way
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alex_camacho:
Let me start by saying thanks to XDA, and everyone on these threads. If it wasn't for you all i probably would have junked my phone by now. Now on to my question.

Has anybody been able to successfully create a backup, and subsequently restored said backup.

I ask because i flashed CWM 3.x, and was able to backup, but (in a small childs voice) I'm ascared to try and restore.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Bierce22:
if your talking about doing a nand itll restore it just fine it works the same way as it does on your computer.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flashinglights:
It works for me, the only one that seems to be having problems is ch1naski but I don't think that's the roms fault, like Kyle said it might be because of swapper.

I never trusted that swapper app making my phone all slugish and all..

How does it cause sd card to fail ? If he can access it ,I don't think its dead,But I'm not sure..I'm curious.. Thanks..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
so here is the skinny on swap, it makes RAM by using space from your sd card as ram much the way virtual ram does on a desktop, but every time it wants to use that ram it reads or writes the sd card in order to use it. this means if you are running a lot your sd card is constantly being rewritten, and since most sd cards don't have "leveling" which means that the bits are being scrambled so the same place isn't being written twice the same spot basicly gets rewritten till it fails

in a nut shell that is how as far as if he can access it im pretty sure some companies put a protection on the sd that is designed to protect data in a case where the max number of writes has occured so the info is saved instead of wiped
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ch1naski:
No, never did run swapper. Btw, did it help with the messaging issue? For now I'm using google voice to make sure they get through to me, but I don't like it.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] ch1naski:
As a matter of fact, I don't even do a2sd. All my apps are on the internal a la firerat.
