You inspired me to try his Full Hero build out again (well, you and the fact my text messaging RECEIVING [not sending] was unreliable..i'll see if that remains the same) and I agree..BLAZING w/ no bugs or issues so far!! (course I did have to use a zenulator data.img to get SD working) I also like the transparent notification slide down, very nice touch!!

@msmission: i see you're working with the donut stuff..does it, in fact, take care of the lcd.density incompatibilities that we have currently?
[Touch CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
can anybody post the hero boot up wallpaper at all? i want to use it when i boot my winmo phone. ;)
[Touch CDMA General] TheKartus:
Really looking forward to the Palm Pre theme and hero stuff. Sounds like lots of fun.
[Touch CDMA General] TheKartus:
Silly double post. Slow internet.
[Touch CDMA General] KERKEDAGAIN:
Knowledge is empowerment..

1)Download or go to your file manager in Android

2)Navigate to ANDROID (not SD) root: /system/media

3)copy desired file to your sdcard

4)reboot to WinMo and copy said file to your /windows folder

if its the Hero animation i think you need to rename it to animated.gif for windows to use it at boot
[Touch CDMA General] cubs3205:
Hmmm...I switched back to the newest version of the cupcake themed build after playing with hero and I can't get modem to connect back after the connection is lost. I have to run haret with a data connection on windows mobile for internet on android to work. I used an older version of the themed build before and modem was working fine reconnecting. I kept the same default so I know my user and pass are correct.

Any ideas?
[Touch CDMA General] jaredakelly:
never saw that before? thanks!
[Touch CDMA General] thoughtlesskyle:
did you completely erase all of the traces of your hero build,

go in and delete everything including your data.img and then reload the files. do that and see what happen.

also the hero and the hero theme builds use different default.txt files, make sure your using the right one
[Touch CDMA General] tatnai:
There really isn't anything different about the default.txt files to run hero vs non-hero builds, besides the resolution and lcd.density requirements of hero (which will run the hero themed ion just fine). If you are ok with running at 320x480 with lcd.density of 160 all the time, you really don't have to touch it.
[Touch CDMA General] sshark:
If you know your username and password for APN then enter that under Mobile Networks under Wireless, I believe. Find button for APN entry...

I did this and intranets is pretty stable.

Only if SMS would work, otherwise Hero full runs quite well on my machine.
[Touch CDMA General] tatnai:
Do you hit the disconnect button before trying to connect again? doing this will re-initialize the modem.
[Touch CDMA General] cubs3205:
I hit disconnect twice, no luck. I just realized I might've inadvertently ran hero lite with that data.img and probably corrupted it. I'll just start from scratch. Thanks for the help.
[Touch CDMA General] optimistik:
I just tried it using android-1.5-2009-08-04.zip with mssmisonsystem.img

I can send text messages but not receive them, is that a known issue?

Edit: nvm, I eventually got all the text my friend sent at once and now they are working normally
[Touch CDMA General] Michel82:
Sorry to quote myself, but i didn't got any reaction in the last few pages... are you having the same GPS problems on your vogues with this system?
[Touch CDMA General] myshinynewtouch:
I dont have this problem, definitely not by 200km, i guess you can try any other market available free gps software to see if it displays correctly, but it is definitely not a problem with the build.. try a cold boot, where u dont connect to gps for a day or two and try connecting when u are at a different location completely from where u last had a satellite...
[Touch CDMA General] craig0r:
I almost hate to suggest it, but someone else fixed their audio issues by hard-resetting their phone. If all else fails, that's worth a try.
[Touch CDMA General] canyoufindben:
Sorry Mate, my Vogue GPS is spot on. I have had it locate me really quick and be off, anywhere from 1 ~ 100 miles worth, but 10 more seconds of having the lock it zeros in on my actual location.
[Touch CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
can you please post your theme you use for the hero lockscreen on the cupcake build?
[Touch CDMA General] natefish:
On herolite, How long should I have to wait for the setup screen to come up in the background? I waited about 10 minutes and got nothing. Eventually, the "force close" message went away mysteriously. Thanks for your help. I really want to get herolite working because it seems much faster and can sync exchange.
[Touch CDMA General] tatnai:
try rebooting without changing anything and wait again, you should get the setup screen the second time around.
[Touch CDMA General] Michel82:
Thanks for all replies about the GPS being off by about 200km south. It's very strange in both winmo and other android system.img's (default ion or nkhero for instance) i do not have this problem, and i'm using the same data.img.
[Touch CDMA General] arlojj:
Thanks!

I came by just to say THANKS!

The cupcake build has absolutely revitalized my sorry old HTC Vogue that I'm stuck with for ANOTHER 18 MONTHS thanks to Bell's 3 year contracts.

I really can't say that I've had any major problems.

Brilliant work. Keep it up!
[Touch CDMA General] grantemsley:
18 months? Count yourself lucky...mine doesn't expired until August 2011.
[Touch CDMA General] arlojj:
Bad luck or ignorance on my part. Had I know Android phones were coming, and what they were all about, I probably would have just gone pay as you go and waited. I always seem to be a generation behind or get in on the end cusp of something new and great.

I really can't complain about the $7/month unlimited data plan though. :)
[Touch CDMA General] grantemsley:
To be honest, I knew it had some issues when I bought it. I didn't realize how annoying not having a real keyboard would be.

But ya, the $7/mo unlimited data is sweet.
[Touch CDMA General] katmandu421:
Just a note on real keyboards, I just had the experience of a titan keyboard having issues...Just another piece of hardware to fail imo.

Of course, I may hold off on the Sprint Hero to see if there is a real keyboard phone coming next ;)
[Touch CDMA General] clockworx:
Is there any real difference (speed-wise) between running herolite vs hero with the default Android Home screen? My girlfriend is trying out Hero since she needs full Exchange support (Calendar and Email, mostly), but is weighing between the speed of lite and the "pretty factor" of the full hero. It would be nicer just to let her switch Home screens, rather than having to switch images and reboot, but I wasn't sure if there was much of a difference.
[Touch CDMA General] bchi49:
high quality video don't work?

There seems to be no video with the following programs:

- YouTube in high quality mode

- Mother TED - probably always plays in high quality mode; therefore no video.

- iDracular lite - no display

Does anyone have the same problem?

The Weather Channel program seems to play high quality video without problem.
[Touch CDMA General] keith.mcintyre26:
I'm trying to use AIM on the hero-themed build, but its saying it can't read my number from my sim. Obviously. Any workaround for this?
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
if there's been no advancements by tonight I'll post it. sure.
[Touch CDMA General] myshinynewtouch:
hi mssmison, in the last image which you posted, the pdf viewer, office suite and htc music are not working properly. They all fail when trying to invoke the file application. is there something wrong, is there a default file manager which I should have ? i guess i am missing that .apk...
[Touch CDMA General] craig0r:
What screen resolution are you using? It won't work with the default (320x428) but should be ok with 320x480.
[Touch CDMA General] stealthkk:
maybe not enough space???

Yes, I followed the instructions to the T.

I'm thinking the SD card may not be big enough? it's 128mb.

reason being is that my error happens right when it tries to create data.img. the SD card has about 48mb free after all the files are copied to it, but then when i try to boot android, it fails at creating data.img, and when i look at the SD card's space after i reboot the phone (because it has to be at that point basically), its got nothing free.

How much space is needed for android and how big is it trying to make this data.img file?
[Touch CDMA General] craig0r:
Yes, you absolutely need a bigger SD card. The extracted data.img is 128MB on its own, so you should have at least 256. I'd go with at least 1GB though to make sure you have room for other things, like music, pics, etc.
[Touch CDMA General] stealthkk:
thanks!!

I love it when it's a simple fix! :P awesome, i'll pick up a bigger card today...im very excited to try this :)
[Touch CDMA General] myshinynewtouch:
thanks craig0r for your reply, so all i have to do is change my default.txt file to say 320x480 and i should be fine ? will that affect any other apps. cause i noticed that the regular android music is kinda truncated, maybe cause of that... but will everything else work fine ?
[Touch CDMA General] cointelbro:
so i've read through the thread and am a little confused.

are you working on an actual sense ui port to our vogues?
[Touch CDMA General] mnherky:
I would suggest getting a class 6 card. I had to go to 4GB to find one. I was using smaller/slower cards and the system didn't run as well and they kept dieing on me.
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
Yes, the build from the htc hero devices, it's in beta right now.
[Touch CDMA General] myshinynewtouch:
just tried it and it works like a charm, i am totally loving android... cant wait for the sense ui....
[Touch CDMA General] craig0r:
Yep, that's all you have to do.

Also, yes, it will affect a lot of apps for the better. The Music app shows up properly, and all the apps have more real estate, so any apps that you noticed that had a squished or truncated feel to them should look more "proper" now.
[Touch CDMA General] t1mman:
i can't switch back to portrait when I use the landscape mode. Tryed shortcutt (Cam + left) and going on sleep and both doesn't work.

Any idea?

THanks!

Well... Got it after doing the shortcutt after being on sleep... kinda tricky! ;)
[Touch CDMA General] cointelbro:
how's the Hero build run on our devices? does it fix the bluetooth bug?
[Touch CDMA General] craig0r:
No, bluetooth is a completely different issue.

With Sense UI enabled, it runs quite slow. The Hero has double the RAM that the Vogue does. To compensate, mssmison put a swap file in the mix, but with everything running off the SD card, there's a fair bit of lag. Other than that, and some bugs that seem to be related to sdhc, it's friggin' sweet.

I imagine the lag will be greatly improved once we can flash it to our phones.
[Touch CDMA General] cointelbro:
is there an app out there that allows the CPU in the vogue to be overclocked? i think ours is the same as the Hero's, but operating 128mhz slower, IIRC

edit: also, what's the default lcd density for the Ion? I set resolution to 480x360 to get the aspect ratio correct, but the 160 lcd density is too small
[Touch CDMA General] craig0r:
The default density is 160. I believe it's the higher resolution you're using that might be making it to small. Yes, the aspect ratio will be off, but it seems like 320x480 really is the best to use.

As for overclocking, I know dzo mentioned something about it a while back... I think it's just an option in default.txt, but I can't recall what it is for the life of me. Overclocking the CPU won't likely speed up the Hero build very much, as the issue is lack of RAM and slow disk media.
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
overclocking is set in the default.txt.
[Touch CDMA General] cointelbro:
that's what i thought... what do the settings mean though? is this a hex value?

edit: nvm i read it wrong, the phone seems to be stable at 480, but of course we'll find out later if that's true or not when it melts
[Touch CDMA General] katmandu421:
From dzo on his thread. Don't know if it is still supported or not, but you can try...

**********************

Try adding this to the cmd line in default.txt:

clock-7x00.mddi=0xa69 clock-7x00.ahb_div=4 clock-7x00.a11=500

[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
Back from some well needed camping :) Uploading a new themed build which includes some stuff I ported over from donut as well as having both regular and exchange email. Some updated graphics and other odds/ends.. I've looked through hero development and there doesn't seem to be anything exciting, I'll have a look through and see if there's any other ways to improve it but I don't think so.. Really I think that hero runs great all things considered.. Oh I've added some toggle widgets to the themed build that look just like hero ones.
[Touch CDMA General] TheKartus:
Welcome back, camping trips are always awesome. Now get back to work on that Palm Pre themed build, it sounds fun. ;)
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
ask and receive. On the way to google code now..
[Touch CDMA General] sshark:
Nice! I am booting up with hero-themed build. Does exchange support contacts/calendar syncing in this one?
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
no. Unfortunatly only the hero mail app syncs exchange contacts/calender. This has the regular mail app as well as exchange mail.
[Touch CDMA General] sshark:
Ok. cool. I am up and running. Seems nifty..i like the menu drawer having two arrows compared to previous build.

Toggle switches are awesome! Ringer/brightness/GPS are going to be handy.

Is there any way to get Hero exchange app in these builds?
[Touch CDMA General] tatnai:
mssmison, are the latest system.img updates posted today on the google code page earlier today by any chance included? tia
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
? included in what?
[Touch CDMA General] moekind:
how quick is this new donut Rom?
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
quick.. try it out..
[Touch CDMA General] craig0r:
Just installed the Pre-themed build. Dunno if I'm a fan of it so much. I mean, you did a great job, I just think I prefer the Hero theme, or even the standard Android skin. I'm going out for the evening soon, and won't be back at my PC till tomorrow night, so I'll give it 24 hours and see how I feel after a while. I'm excited though, regardless! I'm also excited that Telus is getting the Hero in the fall. My hardware upgrade comes to fruition at the end of November too. Timing couldn't be better. I'll only be with you Vogue folk for a few more months. I may hang onto the vogue to continue checking out progress, or I might donate it to a dev to help with the flashable-rom testing.
[Touch CDMA General] soccerman821:
I'm loving the new palm pre theme. both run smooth and look great. The only thing that i like about hero(not the themed) builds are the integration of facebook into the contacts, or "people" as HTC calls it, that works surprisingly well. Is there any way for us to be able to take that out of the hero build and add it to these? just curious.

once again thanks again for another great build
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
man I wish we could...
[Touch CDMA General] tatnai:
Does it use the current rootfs and initrd as regular builds? Does it have the key mapping changes? Thx
[Touch CDMA General] myshinynewtouch:
hi mssmison - wat combo of initrd, rootfs, zImage should i use with your palm pre themed build - i am absolutely loving the donut build - the speed is amazing.. but the picture clarity looks grainy - i think it has some thing to do with my panel type ? or the auto panel detection - dont know what - but i lost that clarity - i mean pic looks grainy - can u pls post wat combo i should use...
[Touch CDMA General] moekind:
Wow .MS you ripped it on this one. Absolutely loving this build. Loving this build. The speed , the browsing, everything. Just missing the Htc Compact qwerty keyboard, and my market is not working. Any suggestions. Thank you so much for this lovely build.
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
compact qwerty is there. long press on the center button on a txt input box to select what keyboard you want to use. there's even the touchpal keyboard in there. hmm, market is working for me, are you getting a crash or what's happening with market?
[Touch CDMA General] moekind:
I just loaded my old data image from vilords ion build and everything is perfect now. Market and keyboard is back as well. I can't stop playing with it. It looks amazing. On a side note is thee any application that tells you what class your sd card is, in windows or even Android?
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
to really enjoy use the app 'smart dialer trial' in the app menu. looks waay nicer and gives smart dialing like in windows mobile.
[Touch CDMA General] katmandu421:
Man, pre theme rips on performance and looks sick. The black bar balanced by the clear app drawer and icon clicks. Makes the screen seem bigger, too.

Welcome back, Hope you had a nice reset :)
[Touch CDMA General] moekind:
My god it's just so fast. I can't get over the performance. MS what did you do to it!
[Touch CDMA General] moekind:
is there anyway to get the IM program to work. when I try windows live it gives me a no phone number in sim card error.
[Touch CDMA General] katmandu421:
Holy $hit, I just noticed the download count on your new themed donut, 998, can that be right?!
[Touch CDMA General] loserskater:
I thought that too, but the count carried over from his previous image with the same file name.
[Touch CDMA General] 188236:
GPS not working properly

Hi mssmision!

Your new image is the bomb. Incredibly fast and stable! congratulations + thank you very much!!

Only one thing: My GPS location is 200 km off to the south. I already had this problem with your older images. I am using a Polaris 100.
[Touch CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
i really digg the pre themed build but im having an app crash in marketplace. it says "vending services" has stopped everytime i try to download an app. any fix for that?

also it hangs at power off or reboot! is there any way you can fix the su permissions for apps that require root? i know the ion builds have this feature now, that would be awesum man, good work though!
[Touch CDMA General] tatnai:
went back to reg system.img for a bit, then went to the new hero themed ion. geez, it's fast. i'm addicted, mssmison, keep'em coming. using the latest initrd.gz and rootfs and everything works fine. really hope you continue updating this one, I think it is a winner on stability and speed - it just can't be beat.
[Touch CDMA General] derekwilkinson:
Anyone else having random crashes when making a phone call? :( :( :(
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:

TXT not working

I downloaded the latest build of the "themed" build with donut upgrades. Love the new widgets and the speed.

I got one problem. I can send sms all day long, just can't receive. I reverted to the previous build and sms works. So then I tried to start clean and see if letting it create a new data.img would help, it doesn't. Anyone else have this problem with the donut integrated hero themed build?
[Touch CDMA General] mixxy:
hey man, r u using a clean start, with a new data.img?

i used a data.img that i used with the ion builds and it works perfectly.

mssmison, this pre build is the best build so far. fast and stable. EVRYTHING works for me... and i mean EVRYTHING (except the pdf reader lol)...

great job!
[Touch CDMA General] katmandu421:
I'm on the pre build, just missing the weather widget that was in the last her themed ion. I've tried installing about every weather widget in the market and cannot find it. It was slick, gave current temp, icon and high/low all in a 1x1 widget. Can't find any that can replicate that function.

Which weather pp is cooked into the hero theme?
[Touch CDMA General] natefish:
I started with a fresh data.img and I am having the same issue. Not reading the sd card in market or gallery, or anything. I am going to try my old ion data.img and see it that works.

Using older data.img from previous ion build worked flawlessly. If anyone needs additional info, I was using the 1.5 xROM build that Zenulator posted.
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
k guys... I know there's been alot of builds lately, but they all have their advantages. I've finished the rogers build and am uploading it to the google code site now.

The rogers based build has been tested with a fresh data.img. It syncs contacts reads the sd cards downloads off market etc..

What it includes that other builds don't is alot of htc framework. It has the htc dialer that the hero builds have, as well as the htc mail program which supports exchange syncing of mail and contacts.

Please enjoy responsibly :)

I'm going to add a fresh post which shows the differences between builds as there's soo many right now.
[Touch CDMA General] tatnai:
does it have the new contacts and albums from HTC that integrates to facebook? no need to answer, I can wait on your fresh post :D
[Touch CDMA General] mixxy:
thanks mssmison, ur builds are running great. just one question, can the rogers build w/ smart dialer be used with bell cdma vogues?
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
yes. All my builds are compatible with all carriers, it's nothing to do with my builds in fact, it's all of swalter/dzo and vilords work on the ril.
[Touch CDMA General] TheKartus:
I am trying to put on the Pre themed build and it seems to be hanging on the volume settings during bootup. It gets to 2 to 5, and then just sits. Giving it time, going to try with a fresh data image.

Anyone else have this issue? Or got this one working?

EDIT: It just needed more time than usual to boot, its up and running now. Looks nice. I may keep this over the Ion build.
[Touch CDMA General] sshark:
How do I delete contacts that are already on my phone? I can't seem to find option to do that!

I can now sync using M's full exchange sync capabilities and download contact list from my exchange server.
[Touch CDMA General] zenulator:
Glad to see you got the rogers build up. Can't wait to test it out.
[Touch CDMA General] NarSan:
for me doesn't work (rogers build) after booting I have blank screen...
[Touch CDMA General] sshark:
+1 it's been over 30 mins. I have a blank screen with fresh data file.
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
are you 320x480?
[Touch CDMA General] NarSan:
when I set 320x480 it's works...

mssmison can you change default clock? maybe form hero? or something?
[Touch CDMA General] derekwilkinson:
The Pre theme. I don't do anything different for it to happen, just sometimes when I make a phone call, the phone reboots.
[Touch CDMA General] Bkzn3ne:
The palm pre theme build is giving me a problem with the Gmail. Do i have to do the same steps as i did with the Hero Build run Zenulator build to get it working ???
[Touch CDMA General] mnherky:
i was having the same problem. I had been running the Hero theme build for about two weeks with out any issues. then i loaded the "Pre" build and started getting dropped calls. so i went back to the Hero theme and started getting all kinds of force closes. I'm downloading Rogers now and I'm going to try a new data img and see if it gets better

Thanks for the great builds.
[Touch CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
yeah i love the look of the pre themed build but it needs some work man, a few bugs to be smoothed out before prime time. ill try again maybe the next fix or release! nice work though. :cool:
[Touch CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
i had that same issue too, the phone would reboot for no reason, also my marketplace would crash when downloading an app.
[Touch CDMA General] Bkzn3ne:
Soo i guess there no way to get Gmail to work on the Palm pre theme build.. Oo well back to 1.5 i guess. Fast build mison
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
I've pulled the pre build until I can figure out the issues... stay tuned..
