gonna repurpose this post

things to accomplish

keep up with updates from shelnutt2 and mongoosehelix.

if you would like to see something added to this to-do list, please post it
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Shakes27:
Update .zip would be nice, also noticed that the device is still Eris, not sure if you meant for it to be or not.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whoshotjr2006:
my placeholder
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Shakes27:
Many thanks! Also before I flash back, how might I get mms to work? That is the sole reason I don't use this as a daily rom now.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whoshotjr2006:
hey shakes im working on a fix for mms now

you might have to be my guinea pig though lol so make sure to nandroid before you do any of the stuff to your phone, i dont use mms so i cant tell you if it works

i do see the problem, and it lies in the fact that this was made to be a verizon rom, but a quick fix/replace of /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db should do the trick

shakes

, go ahead and flash the update zip attached to the first post

please let me know if it works or not, if not ill keep trying, but hopefully its just fixed
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Shakes27:
Alright, also the update file is actually incorrect, I didn't know it was an update until you posted that... you put the oom file on that post.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whoshotjr2006:
update.zip added to first post, its a roll up of all the updates ive added since release
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whoshotjr2006:
shakes did you try installing the rom and the update.zip? did mms work? please let us know of your findings, that would be absolutely awesome if it just worked, another thing i can check off my to-do list
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Shakes27:
So, findings: I cannot read, didn't realize the oom file was the update. Flashed that and the mms fix, mms works now :D but won't download in stock app... Also noticed camera won't focus, not sure if that can be fixed or not. And finally, if I remember correctly the task switcher preview isn't normally zoomed in? Just glad it's working finally, but something to look into if you have time.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] goliath714:
I can't seem to get this to boot, what recovery and gapps should I be using? Currently on cwm 4.0.1.4, I flash rom, flash gapps, flash update.zip and boot. Sits at evervolv boot animation for a long time and never boots in. Left it sitting for an hour and still no boot...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whoshotjr2006:
hey goliath

sorry to hear you cant get this to boot. i use the stock recovery from Rom Manager, its 2.5.0.7 . ive never used the 4 versions. are you on the newest sprint radio? (2.42.02.10.29) older radios have stopped me from being able to boot cm 7 in the past, could be the issue with yours. also toggle "signature verification" in cwmod recovery as i have not signed my rom or updates. first boot does take a few extra minutes, but an hour is too long, something definitely is rotten in denmark. as far as gapps i use this one: http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip

but i delete the gallery app after install as it just displays black boxes, i use quickpic instead

ill do whatever i can and whatever it takes to get you successfully booting.

shakes,

i have another test for you. im attaching a file called "mmsfix2.zip" to this post that will replace your mms.apk with one from the heroc evervolv rom, and hopefully that should make it so you get the messages in the stock app. as far as holding home for previews, im not sure why they are zoomed but as soon as i figure it out expect an update. if this mms.apk switch works, ill add it to the update.zip attached to the first post.

with camera, unfortunately some things wont work yet. stritfajt posted his camera fix and theres nothing more i can do unless he figures more out, but hes a smart guy and im sure in short time things will be all figured out with it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Postal Psycho:
Thank you, do you have any screenshots before i try this out?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Postal Psycho:
just noticed my sprint radio is baseband version 242010427, i guess that means i have to flash to a sense rom and update my prl, right?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whoshotjr2006:
hey postal psycho

the radio i use is attached to this post, if you need to just flash it through clockworkmod recovery, you can try to load eligorom with the radio you have right now, but if it doesnt boot then im pretty sure its the radio version, no need to flash back to stock and update prl

i suggest if you like the rom your on right now, nandroid backup. just in case.

i dont have any screenshots to upload, but if you check out this post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1352170

post #2 there are some screenshots from where this rom originated. i use zeam launcher in place of the stock ics launcher. happy flashing and if you need any help just let me know and ill do my best to fix problems for you
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Postal Psycho:
The media fire link is not working, it was okay last night but I didn't finish the download
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whoshotjr2006:
mediafire link is working fine over here, try again, if you you still cant download from mediafire and need something else just let me know and ill set up a mirror but you may have just got a bad download, it happens
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nukeboy69:
Thank you whoshotjr2006! It is so cool to have ICS on the ancient Hero CDMA...who wudda thunk it...LOL!!!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 1ceb0x:
dude, you didn't have to give me any props, though it is very nice for you. I am like you, a guy who tries to help out the Hero community not to die. I'm not a developer thought but I know a few things here and there. The rom at your brother 'hero gsm' is a WIP (work in progress) but right now its almost stalling because we wait for 4.0.5 sources to come out. I've made a 4.0.4 build with all the modifications but after flashing I was amazed to see how slow it is moving. Almost impossible to use! So right now we don't want to jump on the bandwagon of 4.0.4 since it is worse than what we have and we heard some rumors that 4.0.5 should be even more faster than 4.0.3.

I hope you get more testers for this, I see that there are only a couple of people who have flashed it.

Be sure to send me a PM in case you need any infos. Oh, and minfree values don't stick at boot (as you said), we don't have any idea why. The script is good, it has the correct format but after the boot cycle, the rom takes the old minfree values.

one more thing, scripts are working fine in 4.0.4, just be sure to use Notepad++ when edit them. And change the text format to UNIX not DOS/Windows (from Edit - EOL conversions tab - UNIX).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whoshotjr2006:
hey nukeboy glad to hear you like it

1ceb0x, hey i gotta give credit where credits due. i studied the scripts you guys have for a few days before porting this rom, and wouldnt have known anything about them if it werent for you guys. your ics rom over there at the gsm side runs like a champ on hero cdma, but im kinda stalled in the port because i cant get sdcard to mount the right way, so thats why i went with eris.

would you happen to know why sdcard prepares, mounts, and then says ok to remove? thats the only thing stalling the port of 4.0.3 herogsm. i have a feeling its a difference in how cdma and gsm mounts the sd card, but cant find the cause.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nukeboy69:
I have a spare heroc with bad ESN that I use for testing new ROMS before I load them on my daily driver heroc. If you need any testing done just let me know!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whoshotjr2006:
thanks nukeboy, id be glad to have you as a tester

unfortunately some things have come up with my health, so i may not be on a great deal for a little while, so if you guys find any bugs or would like a feature added (within my ability lol) please let me know and ill check in when i can
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darthfruitloop:
ROM works :)

I flashed your ROM, worked just fine for me, although a tad too slow for me to run it as my daily driver. The Camera seemed to work after being patient with it, but was again, very slow even with it overclocked and on performance.

If you need a tester, I am willing to help out although I am no dev.

Thank you for making a 4.0 ROM for the Heroc with a working Camera! And Thanks to all of the great devs that have contributed to any and all ROM development for the heroc.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whoshotjr2006:
hey darthfruitloop,

did you use v2 (which is 4.0.4) or v3 (which is 4.0.3)?

v3 - 4.0.3 runs way better, its alot more stable too

camera is wonky at first try, wait until you see all controls show up on the screen and then press the settings button>then the triple stacked button, and change Picture Size to something smaller, it works alot better if you do that, and is more responsive. I'd recommend changing focus mode from auto to infinity also.

rom toolbox is not working right for cpu and govornor settings, so i ended up having to use an init.d script to accomplish the same thing. as it sits when you install it;

services.jar is ready for supercharger v6 script (only bulletproofing/die-hard/etc launcher, minfrees wont stick for some reason)

cpu govornor is smartassv2, set at low end 352 and high end 710. -if you want to change this you can use an app such as setcpu which is free on xda if you search for it, or you can go into /system/etc/init.d and change the file called 13cpuspeed.

for minfrees i use auto memory manager, it works pretty good on the aggressive setting. also make sure under settings>developer options>background process limit> is set to "at most 4 processes"

the culmination of all those and the use of zeam launcher, it runs about as fast as gingerbread for me. little bit wonky sometimes, but only sometimes.

im glad to have you as a tester and if you encounter any bugs please let me know and ill do my best to rectify the situation.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darthfruitloop:
Re: hey darthfruitloop

Um, actually I am not sure which one it was to be honest. I am at work right now, but when I get home I will try to re-flash them both individually and report after that. (Right now I am running the latest CM7 nightly as my daily) I will also try using your suggestions to see if it improves the sluggishness.

[EDIT] Wow I totally skipped over the part of your post about your health until just now. Sorry to hear that, I wish you the best. Hope you get feeling better.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Nilxchaos:
The simple idea that this ROM exists is incredible. Thank you so much whoshotjr2006.

To anyone who might know, can you flash this directly over ajrty's Evervolv? From my understanding, they're both Evervolv, so it's possible it might work. Anybody try?

I might just NAND and try myself, but if I can get a quick enough response, that'd be great.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ajrty33:
Like you said, the quickest thing would probably be to just try it. Should work just fine
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whoshotjr2006:
hey darthfruitloop

v3 is going to be better, 4.0.4 (v2) is sluggish and laggy, and while v3 is a little bit laggy and sluggish sometimes, its alot better than v2 until 4.0.5 comes out and the port rolls downhill to our devices

also thank you for the well wishes

nilxchaos:

if any one of them could be flashed over ajrty33's evervolv, it would be v2. v3 is based off of 4.0.3, while v2 and ajrty's are based off of 4.0.4. id go ahead and try it, im interested to see what the results would be.

ajrty33, have a thanks, you deserve it. and i have been trying different combos to get camera working with your miui ics, and no luck. ill keep trying and if i find anything out ill let you know first.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Nilxchaos:
Just wanted to let you know: You're awesome. I'll report back in a bit.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Shakes27:
Back Again

Still available for testing, just been a hectic past couple days. I'm about to flash v3, just let me know what you want to hear about. Thanks a lot for keeping up development of this :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whoshotjr2006:
welcome back shakes

if you could, would you check and see if mms is working correctly? that would be awesome, other than that these are the things i know dont work correctly in v3:

youtube (samm00 is working on a fix over in the hero gsm forums)

hardware acceleration

camcorder (preview but no capture)

evervolv toolbox

also wanted to say thanks to everyone who has tried this rom, this phone and the community (you guys) have truly been my hero. when my vogue died, i found my hero in a store with a broken screen and it needed some tlc pretty bad. after root, s-off and rom upgrade, (and still broken screen lol) this has been the best phone ive ever had. without the testers and community, (you guys) we would have been left in the dust long ago.

long live the heroc!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Shakes27:
Thanks, finally have a break with the weekend. Finals are next week and had AP testing earlier this week, so I've been helping a lot of friends study. And of course need service hours for NHS and Beta Club... lol busy life....

Doesn't look like mms is working. I would love for youtube streaming to be added, I had actually thought about mentioning it earlier. I like the couple apps you baked in, that's a nice touch. Speed is great too.

I share the sentiments, I'm very glad this phone has so many amazing developers. I'm going to miss it when I downgrade to a feature phone at the end of the month (out of my control).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whoshotjr2006:
hey good luck on your finals shakes, i just went through mine. only 2 more semesters to finish 2 associates degrees, one in computer science and one in electrical engineering.

hopefully samm000 over at our gsm brother can figure out whats up with youtube, he beleives (and im thinking its the case also) that its the egl libs, so hopefully he can figure that out

as far as mms, lol its a darn pain in the butt but if you would like me to upload more tests i can do so no problem at all, just let me know

are you completely getting rid of your hero? you could always flash it to boost mobile for $15 a month unlimited data, or you could check out this:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1216571
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Shakes27:
Thanks, hopefully I won't need luck! I'll gladly test a fix for mms if you want, just upload that sucker.

I'm not completely getting rid of the phone, it's just going to be deactivated. It's not really what I want to do, but since I don't have a job I don't have much say in what type of phone I have... lol So that just means I won't be able to test calls/sms/mms/data, but anything else will be fine. Also, I didn't see where Boost has $15 monthly plans? Lowest I saw was $55.... I know Virgin has $35, but again not my money so I don't have much say.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darthfruitloop:
V3

Sorry for lag in my posting. I flashed your V3 and it seems to be much snappier, still not what CM7 was but not bad at all. I will use it through the day, and see if I come across any bugs to report. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whoshotjr2006:
<---- finally senior member! im gonna use this post as my #100, right where i want it to be. whoooooo!

shakes,

its not really a monthly plan on boost for 15 dollar unlimited internet, its 50 cents a day pay as you go. it involves a few things that we really can talk about here (legality) so if you want to know more about it pm me and we can talk.

darth,

yeah its not exactly on par with cm7 right now, but hopefully soon. i was messing with a patch i found in another post to disable hardware acceleration completely, and while it sped up the system, apps like opera mini were messing up, so no go there. thanks for trying my roms and yes please do tell of any bugs you find.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jamega2f:
has anyone tried using firerat on this rom? also when i turn the wifi on nothing pop up for the wifi settings am i missing something?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whoshotjr2006:
hey jamega

i havnt tried firerats with this, and i dont know anyone who has. i have no clue if it would work, but maybe ask in the general discussion threads and see if anyone can help with that.

also, when you turn on wifi in ics, you have to click on the word wifi to see the settings and access points. there is a little slider next to the word wifi, you can slide that to on, but to see the settings and such just click the word itself.

hope that helps
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jamega2f:
wow smh i feel stupid i guess im not used to ICS thanks for your help ill look more into firerat and see if works thanks again!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whoshotjr2006:
not a problem at all thats what im here for lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Nilxchaos:
Firerats at 151 2, on v2.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jamega2f:
awesome when i get some time ill give it a try

Any news on the mms fix? i was so caught up that i didnt notice until i got pic message
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Shakes27:
I found out that gosms works well for actually downloading the mms, I have no clue why the stock app won't.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whoshotjr2006:
hey guys

if you want something interesting to check out, this is it. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1655256

a new device came out called the desireC, and while using a snapdragon processor its got semi-close specs to our heroc. it runs sense 4.0 ics, and is actually pretty snappy for a lower end device.

some pretty awesome people are trying to port it, and if they get it working most definitely we will have a port.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] scataldo721:
I hope that this works out! :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whoshotjr2006:
hey guys

im uploading 2 scripts to the original post for use with script manager

#1 is minfree, which sets your minfree values when given su and boot permissions in script manager

#2 is a check of the minfree values, run it in script manager to check and make sure your values are correct

please try them out and let me know any feedback, i wish minfrees could be done in init.d scripts but thats not working out so well, also if anyone knows how to mod the boot.img to set minfrees in stone suggestions are always welcome :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whoshotjr2006:
this is a blank post, i had a test here but it didnt work, so ill update this later
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whoshotjr2006:
hey guys (once again lol)

iceb0x over at the gsm hero forums told me about this, if you want to try out something new, here is ReloadedICS from rob43. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1531222

im attaching an update zip, but this only works with eligorom v2. not sure why exactly it doesnt want to work with v3, but oh well. flash this over top of v2 rom, updates, etc.

happy hacking!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Nilxchaos:
Damn it man, I just finished setting up v3!

Thank you for your work though, v3 is pretty nice, if the evervolv toolbox worked and the "roaming indicator on" went away, it would be nearly perfect.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whoshotjr2006:
hey nilxchaos, (if you already know this stuff thats awesome, hopefully others that dont know might be able to learn also)

as long as you have adb set up, you can go ahead and try reloaded on v3. make a backup of your systemui.apk before you flash the update zip like so:

adb pull /system/SystemUI.apk /home/username/backups

if your using a linux system like i am,

or something like:

adb pull /system/SystemUI.apk c:\

if your using windows

or of course *use a root file manager like es file explorer*

if systemui keeps force closing on you after trying reloaded, then use adb to push your backup back into system and reboot:

adb push /home/username/backup/SystemUI.apk /system/app

adb reboot

remember, *do this before you flash the reloaded zip* as a precaution

and the roaming indicator on is a result of eri.xml not being in /data, so we can fix that by using adb again (since my update zips dont seem to work right for some reason, ill have to look into it)

adb shell mount -o remount, rw /data

adb push /home/username/eri.xml /data (or adb push c:\eri.xml /data)

adb shell radiooptions 1

ill attach the eri.xml to the end of this post, and if you dont have adb already set up you most definitely should set it up, anybody that needs any help let me know and ill point you in the right direction
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whoshotjr2006:
k guys

mongoosehelix over at the eris forums posted an update today, so expect me to do the same. i have been up way to long messing around with things so im gonna sleep first and post later.

its a 4.0.4 rom, which is kind of going back to v2, but first thing i noticed right away is almost no stutter in playing videos from sd card in quickpic! a huge turn in a great direction. i havnt tested youtube, but i will and report back later.

happy hacking! (lol once i get the new build up anyway)

edit: no youtube yet but being able to play a video from sdcard without it being majorly choppy is a great start
[Hero CDMA Android Development] RJCBUGS:
Thank you

I just wanted to personally and publicly thank you for all your time and effort.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whoshotjr2006:
thank you rjcbugs, and everyone else

im hashing out a few problems in the new build, but some things are gonna change with it that i want to tell you guys about:

working video playing with quickpic (unfortunately no youtube yet, but i foresee that coming in the future)

ics 4.0.4

data roaming indicator is fixed, says sprint automatically now. not sure if mms works, but i think i may be closer than i was before with it.

im pretty sure all my new releases are going to be based directly off of new releases from eris, as they have some great progress going on over there and some great minds

ill upload to the first post when finished.

edit: first post updated with new rom link, flash new rom, gapps, and mmsfix.zip attached to end of the post and reboot, and then enjoy!

please let me know if mms works in stock messaging app also
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrtimo:
This looks amazing. Thanks! How does this work as a daily driver?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whoshotjr2006:
hey mrtimo

it works ok as a daily, its a little sluggish in some spots but not too bad other than that. everything works except for:

mms (still waiting on someone to flash the newest update, gapps, and the mms fix and try it out, it might work this time)

youtube (we dont have the right libs, not something easy to fix)

es file explorer wont work, im not sure why but im looking into it

other than that, for what i use it for (music, opera mini, google voice, gmail) it works great

if you try it out i hope you enjoy it, and keep an eye on the eris ics thread, it will keep you informed of updates and possible fixes and workarounds.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] goliath714:
I'm having problems with getting this to boot with dastins opengl-2.0 mod. I'm on cwm 2.5.0.7, and my method for flashing is as follows(just a note, I'm being extremely thorough and careful): Flash rom, boot. Power off, battery pull, boot to recovery, flash gapps and mmsfix, boot. Power off, battery pull, boot to recovery, flash opengl-2.0 mod, boot. It will not boot at this stage, and I've left it sit for a while(over 10 min). Any suggestions or ideas? Also, will this rom work with any data2ext mod? Hoping the opengl mod will fix youtube but it won't boot so I'm stuck...
