Are you using Firerat's? Flash the recovery over and it will wipe out Firerat settings. I borked my recovery last night using FR with the Green Lantern Recovery. Luckily I'm a mad scientist with this phone and was able to fix all I had broken. FR won't have any effect in this anyways. Still too large. But that's Sense for ya.

If you get to the HTC quietly brilliant screen your good to go. Just wait it out. I promise it'll boot. It takes awhile at that screen because all the apks are getting setup. Gimme some other details about your phone Majin. I can probably help you out with this.

---------- Post added at 07:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:15 PM ----------

yeah.... I'm still on the path to finding a fix for this one. Thanks for the feedback though. I promise I'll keep looking into that problem as long as I possibly can. Going to try a few things tonight to see if it helps at all or completely fixes it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NineInchNails:
Alright everyone. I have one last round of changes to make for the incoming calls. In my testing the wife also had 2 rings on MY END BEFORE hers even rang. She has a complete stock Hero... Never misses any of my calls as long as she's had it. So I'm coming to the conclusion that I've pretty much fixed this for the most part after I do some more testing with it and merge the changes I have in my test build. Every call I get from her is at 2 rings or less. Repeated calls (one after another) will miss every now and then but that can be network related and I can't do squat about that.

I noticed the soft reboot crash after using the camcorder on the video. Also pretty slow reboot time. It seems like this could be a memory hog ? Any feedback yet before I load this up and give it a go.

.. Ok been going through the threads, can I get an update on messaging before I go ahead with flashing. Is this working.

Just wanted to add my thanks as well to the development team to take the time to put this ROM together. I think people with the HTC Hero by now just enjoy playing with these phones and trying out the new ROMs, its all about experimenting and having fun. Thanks again.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thanku7:
Thanks for your efforts!!! This is fast and stable enough to use a daily one. Thanks, Devs!!!

Just in case you didn't notice, I let you know. (if you know already, just ignore it).

1. Wifi and data - "automatically" turning-off once a day (it's not often, but still I have it)

2. camera and camcoder - the first screen is black. When I push the button to switch camera to camcoder, it works properly.

3. small memory - free memory size is low so that I needed to delete some big sized apps; google navigator, and etc.

I just wanted to give my feedback, not to hurt or blame you. If you got hurt from me, forgive me.

Thanks Developers!! Thanks Matt!! for your contribution for us.

I need a stable ROM for my mother's phone... I had her on cyanogenmod for a while, but she needs sense, is this a good rom for that?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thevictor390:
It occurred to me, after installing another ROM, that I had not been getting gmail notifications at all. One of those things you don't notice until they suddenly all pile on you at once.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thanku7:
in my experience, it happens in other roms. even when you restore a backuped rom, it happens. in that case, you may need to reinstall the app to resolve.

Thanks for sharing it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NineInchNails:
The WiFi and data on and off is a battery saving measure that HTC implemented. Ive been on the hunt for this one awhile. Obviously I haven't found it.

Camera is on my list to look at also someday. We do know about it. Just not important to me as calls and data need to be right. This is a phone and should work as one first right? :)

Memory yes is horrible. Its also on the list but for now I used V8 and that'll stick for now til I can adjust them manually later.

Busy atm looking into the MMS. Sms under 160 chars will send but over will not. Still broken.....

Thank you for the feedback
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaymack24:

Hey team hydra. Just let me sat first, ****in ehh !!! on the last release especially you Matt, great job man. Anyhow, still not getting sms or mms attachments.(you know pictures, porn, stuff like that. Jk lol) Ivthought it might have been the area i was in at home bot tried it elsewhere an was given the ol unable to download message. Other than that,,, awesome job guys . Keep up the good work man. And thanks again for your efforts. Later
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NineInchNails:
UPDATE

I seem to have fixed MMS. I had a message to download and it never would. Finally after my configuration change it downloaded :) So there's a plus for most of you. Now I do need to test it more and make sure it works after a fresh install because I've manually fixed it for now. Also I'm on Sprint and can only confirm it works for Sprint. I CANNOT TEST OTHER CARRIERS I just can't. Sorry.

Next to work on is the low memory issue. Have some good ideas on it. In theory it should help with the reboots on install and overall keep memory more available. Now with this being said. We all have to remember this is Sense. It's gonna be bogged down a bit no matter what and won't have 80-100 mb of available memory that you can get with an AOSP build. It just won't happen. So don't expect it to be like an AOSP build.

Stay tuned as I'm still working on this :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NineInchNails:
:mad: sms over 160 chars still broken
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ajrty33:
That was an issue at one point with wildheroc that I believe flashinglights resolved. Have you tried looking there?

I could be wrong
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Majin101:
i'll still give u a thanks for trying =P
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NineInchNails:
SUCCESS!!!! MMS FIXED FOR SURE THIS TIME!!! sorry for the all caps but I'm pretty happy about fixing this. Been trying to do it for a week now and finally!!! I claimed success too early but this time I got it. Sends and receives without a hitch. So you'll never miss a dirty joke ever again. Or a picture.of the kids sent from the wife.

Bad news is sms over 160 chars.. still broken for now. But I'm working on that. Well its not broken but dastin tells me its due to the Rom being GSM based and we use CDMA.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] drlzanej:
Exellent,,,sounds like your next release is gonna be a bad mo fo, cant hardly wait,,,but take your time man you have all the time in the world bud. Thanks Matt
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NineInchNails:
Oh it's gonna be great. We're getting closer to RC status... not yet though.

I need someone to test something out for me to see if I'm just crazy or the fix is just this simple. Open up Settings. Open Power settings. Set Enable sleep mode to never... Does data still just shut off out of no where? Doesn't do it to me anymore and seems to be the culprit behind the data on/off "automatically" problem.

153 downloads :) Thanks guys
[Hero CDMA Android Development] drlzanej:
Hey Matt, about noon today i did as you asked and set sleep mode to never and for me data still shuts down without cause,,,i du know if its a comunity issue or just my phone but sorry man didnt fix it for me. later bud

EDIT: By the way,when you guys get to an RC, ill bet 153 is gonna be a fraction in comparison but congradulations anyway;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NineInchNails:
damn... That's gonna be a hard one to diagnose. Haven't been able to test that much since I've been flashing test builds all day trying to get the MMS working from a flashed status. There's another way but I'm not going to do that just yet. Thank you for trying that. Disappointed that it's going to take a lot of investigation to find what's going on there...

Applying what I did to get MMS working and incorporating it in to the Rom is being a pain. But there is a way but it wouldn't be quality work. And I don't want to give you guys anything crappy. My next release is going to be good quality fixes. Gotta get back to the sandbox and build this castle.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] Majin101:
oOh going to try this one.. Been having bad luck with the previous updates, never boots !
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NineInchNails:
:D this ought to be a great release for you guys. Lotta hours put into these fixes.

Calls are still running good for me. I've ran aosp for ages and I had network problems with calls on that too so I've ironed this out the best I can. I added a smaller phone apk. The callers number will show up in front of the speaker phone and microphone buttons during a call. The buttons still function correctly but its helps the system run com.android.phone quicker. You will still get force closes with that same process but hit wait. It'll all be ok.

BTW check out our new Team Hydra logo :) thanks again dastin
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NineInchNails:
If you get the boot sound, WAIT. Seriously. Like 10 minutes. Takes the system awhile to install all the apks.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] drlzanej:
Top "o" the mornin to you matt and dastin and the rest of team hydra and happy new years eve to ya...Thanks for the update guys. Will this one have the mms and other fixes you mentioned earlier matt ? cant DL and flash as im at work at the moment,,,,and probably will be for a while(damn it). just curious man,,,Thanks again for your hard work guys...Later

Edit: Ok,,what to expect right out of the gate with this ROM release.

After a fresh install (DO NOT FLASH OVER) wipe all, format all, flash and reboot, you get to the boot sound and wait as dastin said. Dont come back wineing saying that you got to the boot sound and it wouldnt boot, It took my hero about 9 1/2 mins to boot up. Be patient.

after initial boot "WAIT"You will get another soft boot,,,Nature of the beast. dont go directly to setup, just wait. That way the soft reboot wont interupt your setup and piss you off and cause you to come back and tell the devs about it again. let it settle and do its thing.

after the soft reboot, do your setup as you normally would (google sign in all that crap) and when you get through it will go to the white htc screen and then to load the browser. if you get a force close (you may or may not) PUSH "WAIT" Your browser will load, Iknow it will i seen it do it, Trust me...

Once your browser loads it will start syncing, Once again BE PATIENT. Let sync finish before you start setting up ypur apps. or it will feel laggy and piss you off again and we dont want that , do we?

After it syncs, wait another couple mins. and you should be good to go. to set up apps with titanium or market which ever you use.

to end with, for a sense rom the Zero is pretty snappy and really has come a long way from the beginning. Ihope this edittorial will help the devs as not to have to answer some of the same comments repeatedly and help you the users of the Zero to enjoy your expieriance even more...Remember to hit Dastin, Matt, Flash, and the rest of team hydra's Thank You buttons, These guys have worked extremely hard on this port and deserve all that comes to them...Later

Thank you,,,drlzanej,,,("acting"self proclaimed resident prick till Matt returns to his post as the original "self proclaimed resident prick")
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NineInchNails:
Yes it'll still soft reboot once around the Google setup, then it'll be fine.

I'm dying to know if MMS is fixed for you activated users.

Naaa, sorry to say its not bud, i tried quite a few times with no success,,,hmmm im not a developer or a programmer for that matter so im kinda at a loss for what to say bro, other than keep hammerin away,Youll get it man, I got faith in ya. On the up side tho, much smoother and snappier still, havent missed any texts or calls.as far as the 2 ring issue, im getting a response between the end of the first and middle of the second ring as well. so chin up bro your still making improvements and thats a good thing man. if theres anything else you would like me to check into let me know Matt, ill be glad to help if i can,,,Later man
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NineInchNails:
Alright try this. Download the free app APN Manager. After installation open it up. Select open apn list. In that list you should see Sprint. I haven't flashed our update yet but I'm pretty sure it should be in there. Obviously select it then hopefully it should work. For some reason the system won't default to it. See if that'll work.

The call issue is fixed in my book. Sprints network is what causes a lag. And we obviously can't fix that. Only other option is maybe to change the SCI but I won't advise that as it drains battery.

Sent from my HTX Zero Hero Sense 3.5
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jmocherman:
Same here. No mms and I'm still missing about 10-15% of texts. On the upside, however, the calls seem to be coming through faster and I haven't missed one yet! Thanks for your hard work!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Drunkpilot:
Like it, we always can use a resident something around here (and Matt's been 1 off the best for awhile). It's been a year now since I've been rooted and the excitement and modifications are just as prevalent and relevant now as they were a year ago. I will be flashing this one sometime today. To think I just thought the advantage to rooting was to get my bluetooth working with a froyo update that we never received was such an understatement. Thanks everyone for enhancing not only my hero, but my knowledge and life as well. Seriously.

I'll be leading the flashoholics anonymous meeting tonight by the way.lol.

Do you have to have a 64 bit inn order to do the compiling work on this? I'm thinking about finally trying to set up an ubuntu environment but I'm 32 bit. Thanks guys.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NineInchNails:
It depends on what you wanna do. ICS needs 64-bit. No way around it. And there's extra steps with java that need to be done properly for it to compile at all. Notice in my history of posts I didn't ask many development related questions. I didn't hide on another site. It's a lot of frustration and not knowing.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] drlzanej:
Think what im gonna do Matt is for my own peace of mind im gonna redownload and flash again, and before i add or remove anything try the mms with the rom right out of the box. thinkin maybe a bad dl or something didnt load right who knows...all i know is if you say you got it working and it worked for you, then it must be something on my end, ill keep you posted on what i get. thanks bud :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NineInchNails:
Well I have the code that does work. If it doesnt work straight after flash then download that APN Manager I mentioned. I'll post the correct settings that need to be applied. This method works for sure.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] drlzanej:
Ok Matt, on a fresh download and flash it was a no go, i installed the apn manager and as you can see all i got was 2 cdma boxes, not even an option for sprint,,,so im figurin either im doin something wrong, its the phone, or its the crappy area im in in Texas, who knows. i added a screen shot so you ll know what im sayin about apn mgr. Id be pretty sur your fix is proper and its probably something on my end. Thanks bud...:cool:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NineInchNails:
Okie doke this is simple. Open the APN list. Hit Menu. Select New APN. Make the title Sprint. The APN box also Sprint. Nothing in Proxy and Port. User Name is Sprint. Password is *. it'll show up as a dot later but it is *. Server is also *.

MMSC is http://mms.sprintpcs.com/servlets/mms EXACTLY that. MMS proxy is empty. MMS port is 80. MCC is 310. MNC is 120. APN type is mms in small letters. no caps. Click edit or save or whatever it is then make sure the APN is activated.

Crappy instructions I know but I'm in hurry and wanted to get this to you quickly.

Success. Should be able to send yourself a MMS to test for sure but I know this works. It's the wrong way I wanted to do this but oh well.

did everything you said and still getting texts,,,but no media(pictures that kinda junk) so im completely convinced its my area man. and thats something you cant fix matt, is my address lol. Thanks for the help and the knowledge as well. always good to learn something new. BTW, Ihad to purchase the apn manager pro to get the option of apn list and settings, not available with the free version. Only $2.00 so its cool. Never the less tho im gonna keep using the zero cause i like it and thats just the kind of a**hole i am. You guys are doin a great job man, and Thanks again...;)

MMS workaround

Alright here's another method to load the proper APN for Sprint MMS.

Download this free app called APN backup and restore. HERE It is a free app and no need to purchase a pro version.

After the install of the app, use Root explorer or something equivalent to get to your SD Card.

On the SD card there will be a folder named ApnBackupRestore.

Unzip the attachment I provided with this post. It contains the .xml file we need.

Move this .xml to the ApnBackupRestore folder

Open the app Apn Backup and Restore.

Click Backup APNs if you choose to do so. Why not, it's small and won't hurt.

CLICK DELETE APNs You have to. Do it.

Now click Restore APN's and load the SprintFIXED.xml

Reboot

Hopefully enjoy the use of MMS.. Please test and confirm but this is a sure fire way that works for me.

You may have to download the free version of APN Manager to make sure the APN is activated if the MMS still doesn't work

Wish I had a hero; porting project advice

Hello and big props to team Hydra [and Suicide]. I may be soon endevouring to port this to WFS marvelc. While this will take some time and there is little development for the device as of yet [I'd probably be working alone a good bit], any pointers you could share would be greatly appreciated [Assume I have the basic knowledge of the sense six steps guide, testing and debugging knowledge, and minor development experience]. Is there value in me using the first dump from flashinglights, or might I be better suited to start with your current build? I'm mainly a hobbyist, so this would be a large undertaking. Thanks for anything you can share.

Regards,

Rob

Since it is from an RUU the gapps already came packaged with the ROM. Whenever there is an update for that app on the Market I download it then pull it from the device and prepare to add it in the ROM for the next update.

I tested the latest one of this rom, and worked perfectly and stable (GPS and camera too). Also, this rom is fancy. My wife want to have it on her phone. Finally, I and my wife installed and are using this rom daily.

Do you have plan further on this rom, like making this faster?

I have already been looking forward to seeing an update one it.

Anyway, thanks for your effort and hard work!!! I really appreciate.
