SD card can't be used for storage??

I have the same issue with the sd card.

I uploaded and installed Sensible Salsa on Tuesday. Everything worked good until I decided to put another file on my Hero. When I plugged in the Hero to the usb on the computer, none of the choices to connect except charge worked. Even when I select usb storage or tethering, nothing happens.

I turned off the phone, and restored CM7 and everything was on my sd card and could be utilized???? No lost data, except when in Sensible Salsa?

I like this rom, and want to use it for my daily as I miss the Sense! :(

Any ideas?

*****missed this from "FIRST" post ):<< -Borked -Usb mass storage (if you flash a .35 kernel it starts working again, its weird but i dont have the time or know how to look into it.)

going to try that kernal.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alex_camacho:
So I did a nandbkup , but after going back to cyanogen I can't restore sensible nandbkup.

Does anyone know where i can find sense skins for use on this rom?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ch1naski:
Once you install the rom, there is an app called "HTC Hub" . open it, make an account, and from that app you d/l skins, etc..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rizdog23:
I did that but i was dissapointed at the fact that only 4 skins were available. Could you point into the direction of where i can find user developed ones?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dastin1015:
Make sure to do a few complete wipes. Sometimes you get dingleberries left over and some dingleberries don't play nice. I get that sometimes going from Sense to aosp

Sent from my Hero that never dies! ;D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ch1naski:
I wouldn't know where else to find them, I never use 'em ( i like to keep it minimal)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
@ alex_camacho - I literally NEVER got a restore to work from either aosp-sense OR sense-aosp UNLESS my recovery was reflashed, then it worked every time.

@ people looking for skins - search xda for sense 2.1 skins, there's a thread with a zillion of them. They are HDPI so they would have to ported by someone, but seriously, there's a zillion.

Ive been trying to get the phone to recognize the carrier for the past few days by comparing the eri.xml with the one from other gsm to cdma rom ports from various phones that had it working but have been stumped.

Is there any other file that also deals with the phone's communication process?

I know my way around xml code as well as hex workshop ( I know it doesn't seem as much, but I thought I'd contribute as much as I could with what I know) basically I figured as long as I don't have to mess with the drivers I should be okay. If anyone wants to take a crack at getting this fixed I think that's the place to start.

Location:

System/framework/framework-res.apk/xml/eri.xml

That's really the only "big" thing that needs fixing.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alex_camacho:
1st thing, thanks to everyone who responded.

LOL dingleberries!!!! thats hilarious. what ive done is install CWM 3.0.2.8 and wiped several times, but no luck. I really want to restore my last sense nand backup, because my dumb self, knowing this might happen, put a lot of effort in to that rom. I added a lot of apps... Im such a dork i should have just left it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alex_camacho:
So on CWM 3.0.2.8 did about 5 full wipes (just to be sure) from CM 7.1.0 RC1 to restore my sensible rom... no dice. I get white and green htc, and the color screen, but then i get a boot loop. But i won't delete in hopes someone figures this restore mess out.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ch1naski:
If you have adb, download or copy the recovery you want to use onto your computer. go into fastboot usb, type

fastboot erase system -w

Then

fastboot flash recovery xxxxx.img

(xxxxx.img being the recovery img of your choice)

Then

fastboot reboot-bootloader

Them go back into recovery and try it. Ymmv, it may not even be a recovery problem, ya know?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alex_camacho:
I'm sure itsnot the recovery it works fine with my other backups, but this Sense backup refuses to restore no matter which trcovery I use

[Hero CDMA Android Development] flashinglights:
I don't know if anyone is following the sensiblesalsa thread in the herog forums, but they have RC2.5 out.

They also have some neat zips in the OP like the slate and herring skin zip as well as one with the default lockscreen. I flashed the lockscreen zip and it worked but not perfectly, if someone could port those apps to work with our hero that would be great.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] GeezyAF:
I flashed the Slate zip, but it didn't appear under skins for some reason. I really want that skin back, as its my favorite, and doesn't appear under the HTC Hub.

SalsaSense RC2.5 supposedly has the SMS issues fixed and other performance optimizations, so hopefully TK is working on a port as we speak.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ch1naski:
sonofagun, the sms issue fixed? hell, that would definitely make it RC material. I hate using GV for text. I even hate using GV for VM.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] GeezyAF:
The dev for SalsaSense put "hopefully." As there's no way to really tell, unless a bunch of users report that they aren't missing any texts.

GV for text is stupid, but it's pretty necessary if you're going to use this ROM the way it is right now.

I like it for VM actually, but to each their own.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Coolaaron88:
Why is Google voice for text stupid? I use it for text all the time. It's a one stop shop for all of my texts and from the computer its a god send.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ch1naski:
The interface/ui for it sucks. no batch operations, no customization, no nothing. It's very underdeveloped as far as options. It's okay for vm, and for texting from a computer, I guess....

[Hero CDMA Android Development] flashinglights:
I extracted the slate.apk from the zip file and installed it like a regular app, and it shows up in the skins chooser after a reboot but after applying it the regular htc skin shows up. :/

I'm going to try using the ones from tazz4.1 and see if they work correctly. I really want that regular lockscreen though, the ring lockscreen locks up on me at least once a day and at the worst time possible (when receiving calls). I end up having to wait a couple of minutes before it decides to work again.

Edit: I seem to have deleted my copy of tazz4.1 anyone have a link for it? Or better yet if someone could extract the slate.apk from the zip and upload it that would be great.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
I hate that the text messages make a new thread everyday regardless, its standard Google fair great idea ****ty interface
[Hero CDMA Android Development] GeezyAF:
Ch1n and tk took the words outta my mouth. Not to mention that most people already use a third party apply, and we don't need to dedicate memory to 3 sms apps.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] GeezyAF:
I'm glad I'm not the only one that wants Slate back. I've been sad that it wasn't in the last couple releaseS.

Please let me know if you get it to work!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Coolaaron88:
I dont like the UI either and it needs an overhaul really bad. The whole batch thing pisses me off. Hopefully that is the next thing they attack next
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
this is google we are talking about, **** the biggest UI change they made to gmail in the past 5 years has been to take beta away from under the name. they do seem to be getting better though music's UI is much more thought out

and with Matias Duarte (im pretty sure that is how you spell his name) doing the creative direction on android i expect it to look more competent going forward
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rizdog23:
Can i change prl with this rom?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
this may or may not be a port of RC 2.5

whats borked from the first post is still borked

whatever fixes were made to the original build should still apply

changes i made

-HTC_IME MOD instead of the reg keyboard (put it in /system this time so i dont have to hear all the moaning about the keyboard being missing)

-removed some of the gsm apps

-put in the mms fixes along with size fixes

download is here
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flashinglights:
After some flashing, it looks like the extras from the salsa thread in the hero(g2) forums work. Only problem is that the gps and signal strength icons in the notification bar have the "sense" gradient in the background when using the slate or herring skin. Also when using the regular screen lock instead of the ring one the "hint" background doesn't fit right. Here's some screenies in case you don't get my jibberish:

As you can see in the first image some of the notification icons still have the black background gradient behind them, I tried looking for them in the apk's but didn't find them, my thought is that they're being called from somewhere else?

In the second image you can see that the semi-transparent background overlaps the pull down bar, *HINT* however when using the slate or herring skin it works perfectly.;)

The following links are from the "other" sensiblesalsa thread and I take no credit for them, just posting links here for easier access.

Ring Lockscreen

Original Lockscreen

Skins

Edit: if you flash the "original lockscreen" zip it will mess up your phone.apk and you won't be able to send or receive calls.

To make it work either remove the phone.apk included in the zip and flash that or extract the htclockscreen.apk from the zip file and push it with adb or root explorer ( make sure to change permissions if using root explorer to replace the file).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
the sense gradient happened with slate every time. the reason it occurs is because the theme was never meant for CDMA so it gets all balls confused and throws up the default icons. its probably an easy fix but i really dont feel like digging through HTC's loads of nonsense to find it and fix it
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flashinglights:
Tazz4.1 had the skins working nicely so I'll try flashing those after I flash rc2.5, and report back if they work.Thanks again for the update! :]

Edit: Nope, t4.1 skins still are screwed up. Maybe someone with theming skills would care to give us a fix,..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oostah:
cool man i was getting board needed some thing to flash thanks kyle :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ch1naski:
Hey, Thanks TK. Gonna flash this when I'm un-drunk. Just got in from a TSOL show....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flashinglights:
Just a heads up if you flash the original lockscreen I linked to, it borks phone.apk. :/

Probably because the phone.apk in the zip isn't for our hero..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] GeezyAF:
Thanks for the effort. I know Slate worked perfectly in ports of Tazz's build.

I may just go ahead and flash it anyway, despite the fact the icons are mismatch the status bar.

You may wanna put that in the post with the links.

You could probably still use the lockscreen by first packing up the phone apk, then flashing, then replacing the phone.apk.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Majin101:
i hope this rom gets worked out! I really miss sense =P keep up the hard work appreciate what u doing
[Hero CDMA Android Development] GeezyAF:
Running RC2.5 and it's a lot faster and I haven't missed a text yet. :)

Running a .29 kernel with AK at Moderate.

EDIT: After running a bit longer, I've missed 2 text messages.

So, it's not completely fixed.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flashinglights:
Edited my post, ended up just flashing the htclockscreen.apk from the zip alone. I don't know if its just me but rc2.5 with slate skin and original lockscreen is so damn smooth and buttery now. :)

By the way, how are you'll able to tell if you missed a message? Is there an app that tells you you've missed a txt or something? Or does the person you are txting with actually call you up asking you if you've gotten their message? Reason I ask is because I don't txt as much, mostly just do calls. (my big ol hands have trouble typing on the hero's tiny screen). :(

But now it has me wondering if I'm missing texts as well. Everyone just ends up calling me either way but it would be nice to know that Im receiving my messages.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] GeezyAF:
When you say flashing the apk, did you just extract it from the zip and install it?

I was looking at my Google Voice and I had new text messages in there, but none in my actual inbox.

EDIT: Read your edited post.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ubnub82:
@flashinglights

Sprint recently stated that other phones are having trouble receiving texts so it's not your phone or the rom it's every Sprint phone.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] GeezyAF:
Can I have the source of this information?

You're technically getting the text, it just doesn't show up on this ROM's inbox for some reason.

If you're integrated with Google Voice, it's there.

SMS issues

Heads up to people on Sprint. The SMS issue may not be the rom, and i emfisize on the "may" part cause it can be, but Sprint has been having SMS issues on stock roms on many different phones. It may be the custom rom, but as of the last time i checked Sprint network has been having issues with the SMS since the 6th of july i believe.

Hey Kyle I was reading through the nexus one forums and in one of their sense rom one of the features is that you're able to choose between the 2.1 and 3.0 lockscreen. Any chance that option could be added to this rom?

Update: After using the rom for about 3 hours, I can send sms messages but don't receive any, continuous force closes on htc weather wallpaper and htc.phone. Attempted to fix by fixing permissions and wiping everything multiple times with reflash but to no avail. Also attempted to update PRL (*228) and got stuck in bootloop. Everything else seems to be working ok.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ch1naski:
you need a standard sense rom to update prl. Also, search the thread for a weather fix. There was a workaround for the fc issue. Not sure why phone fc's , are you using auto killer? If so, try setting it to optimum, I think that's what cured mine iirc.

So last night after work the lockscreen locked up on me again ( couldn't unlock it or do anything) only thing that fixed it was a reboot.

I thought that it was the ring lockscreen that was causing this and by using the original sense 2.1 lockscreen it would fix this but I guess I was wrong. Any ideas on what can be causing this? As I said before this is the only thing that bothers me, especially since it only happens in times I really need to use the phone. :/

I'm starting to think my hero knows its getting replaced in a couple of weeks. O.o

[Hero CDMA Android Development] flashinglights:
Actually I don't have any of those apps, I don't like messing with any kinds of system tweaks apps. But I got to thinking and maybe the system is killing off the lockscreen? Since it happens when I haven't used/woken up the phone in a couple of hours. My phone is left in a locker during work so its inactive for about 6-8 hours. So maybe since the lockscreen isn't being used its being killed off by the system?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ch1naski:
it's an app or service, right? I wonder what the oom value is for it....
