mssmison Check paypal, it's certainly not worth of what you have done by including exchange/hotmail on cupcake build for myself and others, but just a gesture of appreciation.

Thanks again!
[Touch CDMA General] jurias:
thnks for the pre theme its awesome hope you can fix it soon.
[Touch CDMA General] mixxy:
same deal here... it stays on the blank screen after the boot, and i am set at proper resolution 320x480
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
I've been going over the pre build and I can't seem to figure out what's causing issues for people. I've been running it a couple of days with no issue.. unfortunatly I'll need a logcat of when it fails.. I'll keep working on it.
[Touch CDMA General] sshark:
None of apps are working on Rogers build, any thoughts?
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
none of what apps? I really want to help you guys but you need to be a little more specific please. I tested the rogers builds with a blank data file, sync'd all my google contacts info etc and went from there. Downloaded astro file manager to test the market, played mp3s sent sms's and emails...

So what's not working for you?
[Touch CDMA General] sshark:
Sorry for being non-descriptive...

I started with blank data file with grantemsley's zImage. I tested following apps and they are giving me force close error. All other apps that came with build are working fine:

1- My tracks

2- Buddy runner

3- NYtimes

4- ChompSMS

and couple others.
[Touch CDMA General] derekwilkinson:
I'm using the Pre theme and have Gmail, not using a fresh data image though.
[Touch CDMA General] canyoufindben:
Pre build

The only problem I had with the Pre build was I couldn't set ringtones. It would force close on me. So I booted fresh (no data.img) with the vanilla cupcake build and then I switched the system.img with the Pre build and everything works fine.
[Touch CDMA General] thoughtlesskyle:
i love that the pre build came with Touchpal installed
[Touch CDMA General] katmandu421:
I'm getting a force close on the media app when trying to download from the market on the latest hero theme. Just wondering if anyone experienced this with their existing data.img?
[Touch CDMA General] bzegil:
Same here, using Pre theme with previous data file and no problems so far.
[Touch CDMA General] derekwilkinson:
I can't edit contact details without the app crashing using the Pre build. :(
[Touch CDMA General] aven_soulgazer:
Do you people format your cards between builds? It helps with a lot of problems for me.

I'm using the pre build right now. The 2 of 5 hangs up for a while on me too. Let it sit, you'll get it up and running. Market didn't work with new data. I switched the system back to the previous hero theme build and downloaded from market. Switched back to pre and market now works.

Get a couple of force closes every now and then. But no big deal. Looks and operates great. Thanks

Pretty sure gmail worked fresh data. Know it works for sure after switching system images back and forth. Have not had any problems with sms incoming or outgoing
[Touch CDMA General] mixxy:
hey mssmison,

i got another question for ya, ive tried using the rogers build over and over again and corrected any possible errors but i havent been able to get it runnin on my htc touch from bell. it boots up the the htc and the peeking android, but after that it either reboots after a while or stays on the blank screen.

the reason that im so interested in this build is because my only pet peeve with the other builds is that the keyboard is so much harder to use than the htc style keyboard...would it be possible for me to somehow port the keyboard over from one of your hero builds over to the ion builds?
[Touch CDMA General] mixxy:
hey i see u were having the same issue as i am (the hero build not getting past the boot screen), what did u do to get by it?
[Touch CDMA General] tatnai:
The HTC IME keyboard is in all builds, long press on a text box to choose your keyboard.
[Touch CDMA General] mnherky:
switched to Rogers after Pre and it is working wonderfully. Very fast. Only issues i cant get my exchange to work but I'm sure it is a setting on my work exchange servers not an issue with the build.

thanks again
[Touch CDMA General] mixxy:
ive tried numerous times, but when i long press it forces close on a keyboard process
[Touch CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
of course xda is running slow as a snail today. anyways wheres the pre build, i dont see it anymore to download? im also mobile so maybe its been addressed already? was it replaced by the rodgers build?
[Touch CDMA General] TheKartus:
It was temporarily pulled while a few issues get ironed out.
[Touch CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
thanks, i hope its back up today, i love the look of it! what does the rodgers build look like? is it themed? hey mmission, do you plan on implamenting the su fix that the ion builds have now? by the way your builds are the best man!
[Touch CDMA General] TheKartus:
The Rogers build, or at least the first post of it, looks more or less like Ion except for a few different icons, the new dialer, and the other apps that are on that build and not on Ion. Its not "themed" necessarily.
[Touch CDMA General] thoughtlesskyle:
in the other builds its called touch keyboard i believe
[Touch CDMA General] katmandu421:
I'm using the newest hero theme with donuts system. I'm getting stuck LED's, currently it's amber. No blinking, just constantly on.

Also just found out that I am not receiving incoming SMS?? And this is after I started with a fresh data image. And restarting causes me to lose all of my icons and widgets, but wallpaper and apps remain intact.

EDIT: Ok, sorted it out, reverted back to the Aug 1 initrd, not sure what I had in there to begin with.

EDIT2, Alright, not cool...now can't make calls, get a force close on phone process?!?

Edit 3: Had to create a data file from previous version, then use the donut build. Never read anyone els stating this, so there ya go. If you are having issues try that.
[Touch CDMA General] aven_soulgazer:
Ok, I'm still using the Pre Themed that was up. Gmail works, but doesn't seem to push. I can use gmail to read and send, just seems to have to manually update it to check for new email. No big deal. It looks great mssmison.

Google maps is now working for me where as when I was using the last hero theme it kept restarting my phone when I opened it.
[Touch CDMA General] craig0r:
I found that the Calendar app crashed when I tried to dismiss my alerts. Plus, I'm not a huge fan of the look, but that's just my taste.
[Touch CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
will the pre build be ready today by chance?
[Touch CDMA General] mnherky:
Maybe if you ask again.
[Touch CDMA General] fixxxer2008:

do i have to have a blank data img when first using the rogers build or does it make one for me........can't seem to get it to boot

o and i only see the system.img to download, do i get the other neccesary files from the hero builds?
[Touch CDMA General] skajaqueda:
I was using the themed cupcake/donut build from 8-8-09, but found that I could not receive sms's, so I tried switching back to the previous themed build. When I rebooted, I received a "failed to mount /system" message. I tried re-using the new themed build, but it still failed to mount /system. Have I corrupted my sdcard? The card still works in Windows and WinMo. I reformated it, but got the same error. I tried searching the forums, but only found errors for failing to mount /data.

I am also going to post this in the Help Desk thread.
[Touch CDMA General] sshark:
If you have all other files, system will make a data file for you.

Yes you can use all other files from prev builds.
[Touch CDMA General] jaredakelly:
ok can i also use the latest rootfs.img file or no?
[Touch CDMA General] jaredakelly:
rogers build is amazing!!! thank you!!
[Touch CDMA General] mixxy:
:-( i still cant get it to work :(

ps. does everyone elses pre build crash on reboot and/or shutdown?
[Touch CDMA General] jaredakelly:
ya i do....thats only when i dont have the right files in the sd card or my default.txt is messed up

p.s.- i'm sure it's been covered but i can't find it in this thread......is the rogers build camera not working?
[Touch CDMA General] mixxy:
man i FINALLY got the hero build to work, i dont know how, i dont know why...it just started randomly working out of nowhere..

and i must say it is AAMAZZZINGGGG =)

and yes the camera no worky
[Touch CDMA General] TheKartus:
I have gotten that before. Make sure you don't have a spelling error in "SYSTEM.img" Also, try making it in all caps, it has helped before for whatever reason. You may also want to redownload the file and try loading it to your SD card again, it may have corrupted for some reason.
[Touch CDMA General] jaredakelly:
also try downloading it straight to your phone instead of download on the computer and transfer to the phone
[Touch CDMA General] aven_soulgazer:
It doesn't crash, it will just say rebooting or shutting down, and keep saying it and I have to hit the reset button or pop the battery.
[Touch CDMA General] skajaqueda:
Thanks. I'll give that a shot.

Is there any chance that someone could post a link to the previous mssmison themed build, just before any donut stuff was added to it? It appears to have been overwritten on the google code site.

***UPDATE*** It looks like it is working now. It looks like I corrupted the image. I also renamed it to "SYSTEM.img", just in case. My card works, thankfully. I had to revert to the themed build from 07-30-09, because I would like to receive sms's.

Thanks for the help.
[Touch CDMA General] eoche007:
Pre Build

The pre build is still up...I just downloaded it off mssmison's signature. So far I have had absolutely no problems....everything seems to be working for me, with the exception of the Pre dialer, which just resets itself.

Thanks mssmison for all your hard work.
[Touch CDMA General] skajaqueda:
Can you receive SMS's on the donut build?
[Touch CDMA General] katmandu421:
Using a data that I created from the pre-donut themed build, yes everything is working perfect now. My symptoms were I could send, but not receive, outgoing calls crashed the phone process, and incoming would go straight to voicemail.
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
I have never used the shutdown command. In all my months with Android, and I've never had a problem with it.
[Touch CDMA General] skajaqueda:
Ok, this seems to have worked for me. I could have sworn that I used a pre-donut data.img yesterday, and I could not receive sms's. But everything seems to be working for now. Thanks for the help.
[Touch CDMA General] jsun21:
Hey, thanks for all your work! I love the non-rogers build you have uploaded on google code, but I can't make calls with that build! Every I try, I get an error message saying the phone app has crashed. I'm using the most recent version of all the other files (zImage, intrid, rootfs, etc).
[Touch CDMA General] aven_soulgazer:
Then how do you turn your phone off or restart it to Winmo?
[Touch CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
probably a stupid question but how can we take a screenshot of our phones to post? are there any free apps out there for that? also how can i increase the in call volume? all of my other systems volumes are very loud but my in call volume is maxed out and i can hardly hear the person im talking to on the phone. :( ive seen the volume hack for the g1 but i doubt it will work on the touch!

thanks in advance....

by the way im running the hero themed build and the only crash i get is when i first start the phone and it has to wait for android process to load. great build so far and i really hope the pre build is back up soon, it looked awesum!
[Touch CDMA General] soccerman821:
i donno why people keep saying the pre build is down.. on google code it keeps the "current downloads" on top.. if you want to see the pre build go to the top where it says "current downloads" and change it to "all downloads" and hit search.. bam its all there.
[Touch CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
1.) that doesn't answer my questions.

2.) i was told it was removed yesterday for issues people were having. was it fixed and uploaded again?
[Touch CDMA General] TheKartus:
I think it was more "pulled" in theory than actually being deleted. It was having issues and is being fixed. Its probably not recommended to download that system image and use it, although you very well could. Some people are reporting it working fine for the most part.
[Touch CDMA General] soccerman821:
... no need to get flustered. I don't have all the answers to all ur questions, los siento. if u took a look at the site u would realized that it was uploaded 2 days ago and still says two days ago on google code.. so it must have never been taken down. I just was trying to help u with one question. sorry i couldnt answer everything.. seems like u got some time.. u could search, it comes in handy
[Touch CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
i already did search, did you not read my post? thats why im asking here.

Is the palm pre theme ever gonna come out??
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
Wow.... I guess you guys like that pre themed build hey? It's still linked in my signature, and yes it's on the google code page I just moved it to 'depreciated downloads' so it doesn't show unless you look for it.. Honestly though, I still haven't experience 'any' issues with it at all.. So as far as I'm concerned it's a good build. If you can replicate a problem every time, good, send me the logcat data so I can investigate.
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
Whoops.. Sorry guys, I've gotta pull the pre-theme build completely.

As per the original dev.
[Touch CDMA General] sshark:
thank god, I downloaded!
[Touch CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
total bull****! palm can kiss my rear, ill never buy one of their phones now. acting like babies because we used a themed build like their precious pre. i don't see htc complaining about the hero builds!
[Touch CDMA General] TheKartus:
HTC probably would if they knew about it. They are only protecting their intellectual property, not being babies...
[Touch CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
well im sure by now they would of complained about us running android on our non android g1 phones. i still think palm is being a bunch of cry babies.
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
Google know's we're running Android and they have no problem with it.

I can understand palm's POV. They did pay someone to make these graphics, so it only makes sense...
[Touch CDMA General] TheKartus:
Its very very different considering Android is open sourced and they are okay with this going on. Palm's WebOS and the rest of its intellectual property is very locked up and not open. Similar situation to mobile OSX.

Look at it from a simple business standpoint. You can't seriously call them cry babies with any hint of maturity.
[Touch CDMA General] derekwilkinson:
No proof that it is real... site admin closed the thread and said that we could still upload Palm stuff ;)
[Touch CDMA General] natefish:
What a bunch of hypocrites! This came from the company that is unabashedly hacking iTunes?!?! BOOOO!!!

Well, they can't delete my sd card. That was a mighty stable build.
[Touch CDMA General] refthemc:
You should still be able to keep it up mssmison, good luck with everything guys :thumbsup:
[Touch CDMA General] derekwilkinson:
Hopefully the notice was fake.
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
I've posted a new hero build, it may or may not contain some skin stuff from an unnamed mnfg :P..

It's fast, enjoy it.
[Touch CDMA General] derekwilkinson:
How fast are texts/contacts opening on the build?
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
not as fast as hero lite. but they're opening ok.. I consider it usable.
[Touch CDMA General] myshinynewtouch:
mssmison - are u planning on updating the palm theme build now that we know that the palm email was a hoax? i read on some tech forum that cynogen was able to load a test ROM on his G1 with a lot of stuff from donut that contained some cdma settings too... have u been able to get that to load on vogue ?? i really love to have proper cdma settings on my phone and keep android my primary phone all the time... really appreciate all the hard work you are doing for our vogue's mssmison, hopefully we have a nice donut build with proper cdma settings to pick from...

"unnamed mnfr hero build" market issues/browser ?

anyone reporting issues with market force closing and/or not downloading apps? ... is there something i am doing wrong? i set up my apn username/password...i used all the latest stuff from google download site (default txt, initrd, roofts etc) i tried changing default txt from ppp.nostart=0 back to ppp.username/password etc, but still no go.

The Rogers build is great with working exchange (two way contact sync etc)! I love the 5 apk in a row, but miss :( the extended drawer features of the hero build. unnamed build is fun!

**EDIT: browser now works, and exchange as well, but still no market -it shows that an apk is downloading, but never does.
[Touch CDMA General] tornadog:
I am running the rogers build and it works great except for the camera. I tried the latest hero build and from the get go got force close errors, so reverted back to the rogers system.img

Anyway to get camera working?

adeyo - even i had the same problem with market - says start downloading - but never did - but that was at my home where i have iffy/roaming signal.. i came to work the next day and left the android app store running for 20 mins - where i have atleast 4 bars - and the downloads started downloading - dont know if thats the case with urs - but give it a shot...

The Palm cease and desist is getting media attention.

http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/12/palm-puts-the-smack-down-on-pre-theme-for-android/

I guess they haven't gotten the memo that it was fake and that the build is back up and running?
[Touch CDMA General] myshinynewtouch:
mssmison - is it possible to port the keyboard from the hero builds into the donut build ? the hero keyboard was absolutely perfect and damn easy to type as compared to the touchpal on the palm pre themed build...

are u bringing over any donut stuff into your regular hero themed build or palm pre themed build, saw that cynogen made a lot of updates to his core and i cant wait to play with it :D

can anyone who is using hero lite build comment on the mail app, i hate the htc mail app, love the regular android mail app waaaaaay better... does the hero lite build contain that.. i mean love the hero builds, but donut is the way to goooo (mmmmm... donut)
[Touch CDMA General] TheKartus:
Do you mean Ion builds? If so, that same Android keyboard is a part of it already. Just long press on an input box (besides the search widget) and choose the other keyboard option.
[Touch CDMA General] myshinynewtouch:
awesome - thanks thekartus - that worked (silly me, was struggling until now)
[Touch CDMA General] ljmeli:
Anybody else having issues with the HTC clock widgets? When trying to add it the widget, entering the city does not bring a list of the cities up (thus not allowing you to select any city). Tried to get around it by selecting current city, it loads (and the GPS icon lights up) but time never updates and eventually TouchFlo crashes. This is using mssmison's most recent Hero build. If anybody has any clues feel free to share.
[Touch CDMA General] adeyo:
handwriting recognition...

i hear the htc magic (along w/ donut) has built in handwriting recognition. is this on any of the themes or hero builds we have? i seem to recall a welcome screen saying 'Welcome to HTC Dream' . if so, how would i access this??
[Touch CDMA General] cj1171:
mssmison, thanks a ton for your great work! Loving the builds...currently on the themed cupcake build...although the pre themed one seemed to be faster, it wasn't as stable..

keep up the good work! can't wait to see the improvements and speed increases!
[Touch CDMA General] TheKartus:
I have not heard of this on any Android phone, not to say it does not exist. I don't believe that we have that in any of the current builds, although you may be able to find an app for it in the market...

There is a feature like that in Windows Mobile if you can get yourself to go back, as hard as that would be.
[Touch CDMA General] rodmann98:
Am I missing something? Everytime that I try to use a hero build, and a call comes in, it just shows the phone number, and it does not show the contact name or the pic.
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
any feedback on the new hero build guys? Ideas etc.. I've been running it a while now and I really like it..
[Touch CDMA General] rodmann98:
I like it too. I just can't get my caller id to work for any hero builds. What am I doing wrong?
[Touch CDMA General] tatnai:
using latest themed ion, today had one gibberish SMS (chinese characters), and one that never came through to me. mssmison, do you think this is system.img related, or related to another portion of the code? I know I've seen stuff about people missing SMSs, searched this and the google ion thread and came up with nothing; I think it was in relationship to your builds, but can't recall. running so well otherwise, debating between building a new data.img, vs trying the nkhero themed ion. any suggestions?
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
I've never had an issue with missing sms or garbled sms in my themed build.. well not for a long time since we fixed the issue with bell mobility anyways.. Without logcat data it's impossible to tell. Why not just rename you data.img and try again.
[Touch CDMA General] ljmeli:
New Hero build

The HTC clock widgets do not seem to be working. When trying to add it I can not enter any cities, well I can type one in but no list appears, thus not allowing you to select any city. Tried to get around it by selecting current city, it loads (and the GPS icon lights up) but time never updates and eventually TouchFlo crashes.

Also when I get a call (and the caller exists in my contact list) it does not link the number to the person.

This build does move at a useable speed though, nice job on that! All the other widgets seem to work perfect!

New rogers build uploading

k guys, I've updated the Rogers build and am uploading it to google code now. You'll know it's up cause it's description is rogers 2. It's faster, probably as fast as my ion build, and includes the updated mms app for changing the background color etc. There's been some nice little 'vogue' tweaks and changes I've made.

Enjoy :)
[Touch CDMA General] Bkzn3ne:
I know im writing this a little late but thanks mison. I got Palm Pre theme to work 120% no errors force cloths everything works. All i did was use the latest ion build mad a fresh data from there and swaped the system image to the palm pre themed image and its working very well.

Palm pre is one of the best builds shout out to all the Devs that made this work and Hero:D
