Can someone please respond to this? Does the usb tether work with lv 0.6.2? I can't afford to lose it cause I depend on it and can't test it at the moment.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
No idea. Never had any need for the facility. You're welcome.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] clarkey15:
Is this rom running LV now? I forgot lol, if it is then yes USB tethering works great
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sabers105:
This rom is running flykernel 13 and USB tethering works great.

I have tried LV but USB tethering is not working for me.:p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] aca89:
Thanks for response guys. Any way to enable it on LV?

Cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bharat_goku:
Try flashing the patched Lv kernel from ele 's thread
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
Aint is just an edit in the biuld.prop? also with it?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Pich78:
Nice!

I'm trying this rom and it's fast and ( at the moment ) without any bug.

I just miss the Italian language ( useful when composing messages )

Anyway, all the rest is pretty nice!

Thank you!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bharat_goku:
Update-NEED TESTERS!!!

Since this ROM is complete i decided to start working on some new ROMS but my problem is i cant test them

firstly i found a 2.1 ROM from cdma forums which is known as RegaWMOD

i got fond of the features so i thought i'll make a quick port of it

i have no clue if its running at all since i havent flashed it myself

hoping one of the flash junkies could test it n see if its working

RegaWMOD 2.1update-1 ROM

flash only if ur willing to test and give me feedback on it!

the second ROM i made was the TeamHeroc build of cm7 which very similair to decked up for life but untested.....it is AOSP GB as decked........i havent applied Gapps package so plz REMEMBER TO FLASH GAPPS WHEN TRYING THIS ROM!

Link to TeamHEROC 22OCT

TeamHeroC build

based on your feedback i'm hoping to pursue a future in these ROMs and get em to more stable states!

PLZ REMEMBER THESE ARE FOR TESTING ONLY AND NOT OFFICIAL RELEASES!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
This link is taking me to the Rose V3 download.

RegaWMOD 2.1update-1 ROM

Am I missing something or is the link wrong?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bharat_goku:
oops mixed up the links too many builds up tonight fixed it now!

better be off to bed now need sleep....college sucks on monday when your sleepy....zzzZZZzzz
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
Installed RegawMod rom.

At first it was pretty slow and laggy. I kept getting a FC stating OMADM was not working..... seems to have stopped after setting up.Seems to speed up a bit after 20 mins use. I have also clocked from the 518 up to my usual 652 and it made a big difference.

Wifi works, Camcorder and camera work. Market is old but works. No problems installing anything. Felt very much like my original stock 2.1..... I didnt keep that for long.

I would suggest Rose V2 feels faster and definitely looks a lot better.

Just installed Endomondo which has been an issue recently for me. No problem from the market and it quickly got a good GPS lock.

I cant really comment on tethering as I dont ever use it.

USB links to my Win7 laptop quickly. Actually... all feels pretty quick now..... but for me no where near quick enough to warrant a return from a well polished GB rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
OK. Installed TeamHeroC build using the 20110613 gapps

All feels very familiar as I use Decked Up For Life as my daily rom.

Installed with no issues, personalised ok, No problems at all with apps.

CPU runs from the box at 576 so I set to 652 as usual. Benefits from Fly13 kernel so Smartass V2 is my option.

Market is old version from this gapps but found and installed apps quickly.

Wifi set up quickly, GPS got an instant fix with endomondo app.

USB links to my Win7 laptop quickly.

All in all.... this feels the same as all the decked roms.

Not quite as fast perhaps but I'm comparing it to my daily use which is tweaked a lot.

Good rom
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
Forgive me if this is a noob question as I'm not sure how to port.... but the reviews on this rom seem pretty good.... batt life looksgreat and its fully working.

Is the fact that its a sapphire rom easier to port for the GSM Hero.

DietGingerbread non sense would seem like a good port and I'd certainly like to see how it compares to Decked. Sapphire zip is only 60MB.

I'm sure Goku could work his magic (no pun intended)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] puppyko:
Flashed this test ROM and gapps there after.

Again, GPS, TTS, wifi, 3G Data, apps installation, market, everything works just like Deck For Life.

Only thing..apps2SD is absent. Otherwise, almost perfect for now.

Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bharat_goku:
Interesting ill look into it soon :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] iakeco:
I cannot log into my Amazon app market account. Is it this ROM or is their something wrong with the Amazon market app
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kenleong:
just switch from CM7 stable to this one...surely this overall feels faster and better than CM7
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] puppyko:
Something very strange with this ROM.

I had a nandroid version of deck v1.3 earlier release. But I couldn't nandroid restore!

After I had flashed the Deck for Life and all is good, I became wiser and did nandroid +ext twice.

When I tried to restore nandroid, again both failed with something need 'adb' error message.

Just curious, have anyone have a successful nandroid restore back with this ROM?

Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] timbohobbs:
I've restored ok from nandroid with this Rom. Silly question, but your battery wasn't below 30 % was it?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
I switch between roms all the time. Currently on decked for life but have been in and out of Rose V3.6 and others a few times, returning to my daily use rom using nandroid backups.

When you restore are you doing a full wipe, cache and dalvik wipe? I always do them twice before a restore or new install.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] orangiseng:
Re-flash your recovery image.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] puppyko:
After my 'unhappy' outing with Rose v3.6 earlier today, I tried nandroid back to Deck so as to get a working google navigation. The battery was still a healthy 70%. Eventually, I'd to nandroid back to HeroC22Oct_test version.

Me switched ROMs also plenty of times. Never had a single failure nandroid restore experience before with other ROMs. Always do full wipe Twice, before I nandroid restore or flash new ROMs.

Hmmm. ...with this ROM, no happy reunion again after once broke up

:o

Thanks all for the reply anyway :)

---------- Post added at 09:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:19 PM ----------

Don't think that's the problem as I could still nandroid restored to another ROM.

___________________________________________

Anyway, on the 3 separate occasion when I tried to nandroid 3 different version of Deck, I got this same error message:

" run 'nandroid-mobile.sh restore' via adb! "

Based on the above error message, can anyone tell me if my backup nandroid of Deck can still be recoverable?

Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] davrave:
Puppyko, if you are using AmonRa and you get that " run 'nandroid-mobile.sh restore' via adb! " error message when trying to restore your Nandroid backup, try this.

From recovery, wipe cache and dalvik cache before trying to restore your nandroid backup. I too have seen this error message on my Hero and it solves the problem for me :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] orangiseng:
Well, I don't know if you will even try. I got similar problem twice, and I reflashed the recovery, and it restored. Yeah, I got those problems when I installed a very old ROM not Deck ROM, but it might help.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marleyfan61:
The only time I've encountered this error is when my SD card was full. Not sure if that's the issue but try freeing up some space on your card and then try again.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] saj222:
re: " run 'nandroid-mobile.sh restore' via adb! "

I've had this happen when my battery was less than 30.

Doh. I just saw another post referencing the same possible thing. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18980721&postcount=415
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] puppyko:
Thanks all for the kind help and advise.

My battery was at 70% full. My 16GB SD memory was still around 5GB free. Prior to nandroid restore, I had done the 4 steps full wipe of data factory, cache, dalvik and ext. Not sure if I would like to take the trouble to reflash recovery image. As mentioned before, after failing with the Deck ROM restore earlier, I had indeed successfully nandroid restore another HeroC ROM shortly after.

Anyway, I had just spent another one hour flashed back Deck for Life instead of waiting for a nandroid restore solution.

I'll just pass up this as another 'x files' case to be solved when the elements are right.

:D

Thanks all once again for all the kind assistance.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
just wanted to say - if you want to reflash recovery or try clockwork recovery it's super easy - just download the free "rom manager" app from the market and use it to flash it's default clockwork recovery for the gsm hero or it can flash "alternative" amon-ra recovery as well.

By far the simplest way to ensure that your recovery is working well. I've changed recoveries easily that way when desired - but I always end up back on clockwork.

and for what it's worth I've never had that issue with clockwork recovery.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] saj222:
I've had the same experience with Clockwork. No recovery issues that I can think of with this recovery. Coupled with the ability to flash zips that are buried inside your sdcard folders = win. :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
I've never used anything but ClockWorkMod and apart from a couple of typo's in file names (My own fault) I've never had any reason to try another recovery.

I'm quite new to this flashing stuff. Bit disapointed as Goku seems to have sorted me out with as good a GB rom as I am likely to find. Still.... I can keep testing other developments to see what shiny things keep my attention for another 5 mins.

Can anyone point me in the direction of some good themes to work on Decked for life.? I'm really liking the slate theme on Rosie v3.6 with the blue buttons and highlights. Anything similar?

---------- Post added at 08:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:46 PM ----------

Recently changed from a sleep profile as Smartass V2 does it all for me. Sleep profile was causing a few music stutter issues when the screen was off anyway.

Using PowerAmp this afternoon with Endomondo running.

No stutter... good clear GPS and music was good. Played for a good 1/2 hour with no issues.

I took my phone from my pocket to skip Lady Gaga and when the screen went off the track stopped 2 secs later.

Every time the screen went off the music player stopped and the track was on pause when I woke it up.

I noticed the battery was showing 40% left. Is there a power saving setting somewhere that was not working before the batt reached 40% and activated.... causing my Kings of Leon to pause? Is it built into a kernel maybe? I dunno!

Charging now and will see how it goes in a while. Will try again tomorrow and see what happens when the batt gets to a similar charge level.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] timbohobbs:
I'm sure that the power saving setting has been stripped from this ROM and don't think the kernel has any say either. BTW, how do you find the . 35 kernel works on this compared to fly? Im tempted to try it but previously on almost all ROMs its been slower for me even after allowing it to 'warm up'. Did you ever get skipping music with power amp with fly?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
I tend to try out different kernels despite what comes in the zip. From my experience, every phone seems to be that little bit different but Fly13 seems to optimise performance and stability.

In pretty much all the roms I have tried the LV 0.6.2 kernel its been quick but uses too much juice.

In this one though it feels perfect and battery life is probably the best Ive had on the hero.

I said earlier I thought it would be impossible to better this setup on this phone and I truly believe that.

I played about with a galaxy the other day and my swipe was smoother. I was considering an upgrade but I'd only do it for the bling big screen and a better processor. Not sure I want to spend a wad of cash when this phones doin just fine.

Of course..... if something shiny cought my eye on the bay, for the right price...... well...... I'd be a fool not to. Mrs P can have this so I can still pinch it n play.

sent from HeroDeck using XDA App
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] timbohobbs:
Yeah have to agree with you on this Rom, best ever for me too after running maybe 20 different ones. Am running las venturax now and hard to judge yet but will keep check on battery although my two year old battery takes a hell of a battering every day and can hardly be expected to last more than 16 hrs.

As for themes, have tried a few from the market there's also an ics for mdpi on xda that is ok but I always end up back to system stock.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pskin132:
This is super super slik quick ...

Good effort DEV'S !!!!!!

Thanks Ever so much
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marleyfan61:
I've been running this rom for several days now and it is by far the best rom I have used (and there's been many). It is fast and smooth. No music stuttering. GPS locks on instantly with not FC's. Battery life is the best I've had. I've not yet calibrated the battery and got 1 day 20 hrs on this last charge (light usage).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
Figured out my music player problem from this afternoon.

Using PowerAmp music player. When I contol music, tracks etc from the widget on my homepage, I can turn off the screen and the music keeps playing via plugged in headphones.

If I have the powerAmp app open full page..... I can play the tracks etc as normal via the headphones.... but as soon as the screen turns off the music pauses.

Fix for me is to select the album/playlist I want.... fire it up then back out to the homescreen widget. Then it keeps playing if the screen goes off.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] puppyko:
Just an update:

My latest nandroid on the Deck I flashed yesterday works well.

No more spookiness with Deck anymore :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
Welcome back. :)

I'd do a 2nd backup jist in case you have a similar problem in future.

I've just started renaming my backups in file explorer. I tried it once and it didnt work which led me to believe I had to leave it with the date stamp file name. Turns out I had a space in the file name which is why it failed. (Use an underscore instead of a space)

Makes life a lot easier selecting Goku_DFL.... or Rose_V3.6 instead of trying to remember roughly when I did the backups.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] puppyko:
Thank you Prof Peach :)

It is always handy that people who are 'flash junkies' have a (few) good working nandroid backup to fall back to should the ROM on test doesn't give satisfaction.

And especially this is such an excellent ROM ( Deck ) that you know you can safely return home to when you need stability, speed, good battery life.:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] puppyko:
Something like the attached :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
Exactly.... though I usually bin the older versions once the bugs are fixed in the updates.

..... and what the hell were you doing backing up a phone at 4.52am?

I thought it was just me that did that sorta thing.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] puppyko:
Eh..firstly, we're in different time zone. It's around 9pm right now over here.

And I had noticed all time stamp on my nandroid does not exactly reflect the actual time when I did the nandroid. I guess it's by default always follow a different time zone. See...I am as normal as can be...unlike you

:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bharat_goku:
welcome to my world :P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
I use the clockwork recovery "Rom manager" app from the market. if I initiate a backup from that app then you get to name it whatever you want in the app, first. then it creates the encoding data based upon that filename, so you won't run ANY risks at all using custom names. I too had issues when I tried renaming them later back in the day, and I don't think it was from using spaces ... ;-)

I typically leave the default date/timestamp and prepend it with the name of the rom and version and if I liked it or not (like "daily" for good ones, "test" for bleeding edge with issues).

rom manager is a really helpful tool for this type of thing.

but it only lets you name the backup if you choose "backup" specifically. if you choose flash rom and backup first (or whatever that option is), it just uses the default timestamp name without letting you edit the title first.

fair warning...

---------- Post added at 09:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:00 AM ----------

we ALL do that my friend. that's why we're all flash junkies. :-)

I can't sleep much these days, too much on my mind preparing for my mum's funeral in 3 weeks. Coupled with 3 young daughters - I spend most of my nights on xda and flashing roms and playing phone and tablet games.

hmmmm. I'd classify you as abnormal compared to most of us.

but I have a good feeling about you - keep trying and I'm certain you too will become so addicted to flashing roms that it keeps you occupied at night as well :-)

Does anyone know how to get rid of the - (dash) sign when typing a number?? Can't seem to find the option to disable...????

Cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sphinxy:
Install locale from the market and change it to your preference.

For the record, i installed locale and selected English (Australia) and now the dashes have gone.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] puppyko:
For outgoing call, instead of using the built-in phone app, use another 3rd party app, example Touchpal. When you type a number, at least there won't be any dash...till you had established a phone call, then the dash will start showing between the numbers. At least..not so annoying :)

I had previously tried using root explorer to push phone.apk from HeroC ROM to system/app (and had the permission changed) but with no success.

Yes..I would like to know how this can be done, too.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
Ele has just released a version based on the same TeamHeroC rom. Might be worth checking if that version does the same thing. Might be a more compatable push from Ele's to Decked.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] puppyko:
Thanks a million!

Now my Deck is perfect!

Was comtemplating between Deck and HeroC (HeroC no dashes!) before this 'small' iritating issue :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
Any chance of a link to locale on the market. A few to choose from and "locale" is a german app..... and me no do German.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pskin132:
Wooooooo thanks guys!! Sorted
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] puppyko:
I'm believe any locale from the market should do the job. Just choose the free ones. I used Set Locale and Language by Brucedior.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
haha locale, the app to change your language/locale, is in a foreign language for that user.

ironic :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marleyfan61:
Well I pulled the trigger on the Amaze today so guess I won't be kicking around in the Hero forum much anymore. Want to say thanks to all who have been so helpful while I've been here. Goku, thanks for a great rom. Don, thanks for all your help. And to everyone else too.

Maybe I'll see some of you in the Amaze forum soon.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
Its a shame to see contributors move on but I suppose its inevitable.

Great choice of phone for the HyperUpgrade.

Pass on your Hero to a worthy cause and point them to these here pages.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bharat_goku:
Do u guys want an odexed version of this rom?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
Whats the up/down side to odexed?

I'm more than happy to give it a whirl and see what the difference is.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lirasina:
Upside, It boots faster and general speed may be a tiny bit faster.

Downside. you can't theme it. Well basic theming but no apps theming.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
In that case bring it on. I have tried a load of themes but always end up back on the standard LauncerPro with my own wallpapers.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] timbohobbs:
+1 for an odexed version :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
+1 I never foudn a theming app that worked for me, so fail on themes. +1 on speed!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
This is an excerpt from the rooting guide for dummies. Basically odex roms are smaller but no theming is allowed, but deodexed can be themed.

Like I said before.... Odexed please.

Any technical way of seeing whats quicker or is it all about feel?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lirasina:
I think its mostly feel. and maybe a tiny bit less ram usage.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
Deleted inapropriate humour.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
heh heh

it's become clear to me that you and I share the same sense of humor.

I had previously almost posted what is probably a similar bit of inappropriate humor.... :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lirasina:
Now I wanna know what that post was.. XD cuss I do not get it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bharat_goku:
I'll upload an odexed version first thing in the morning :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] silentless:
Hey man, thanks for this rom! =)

But tell me how to install or activate market?

I cant find it in this rom =(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] timbohobbs:
Flash Gapps then sign in to your account :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
Installation instructons from the original rom dev/porter.:

*Install Instructions*

1. Reboot into recovery.

2. *optional but advised* make a nandroid backup.

3. Wipe Everything. (Factory reset, cache & dalvik wipe)

4. Flash gingerbread rom zip.

5. DO NOT REBOOT YET.

6. Flash gapps zip.

6a. Flash Kernel *if you are using a custom kernel*

7. Reboot.

8. Enjoy gingerbread!

Might be an idea to paste this into the OP as quite a few are missing the gapps flash and getting market problems.

Personally I prefer to reboot.... then go back into recovery again to flash gapps.... never have the same issues others have.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] silentless:
I flash gapps, but nothing =(
