hey just wanted to let you know I re-downloaded the .img file and that fixed the calendar issue although it's funny before i redownloaded the .img the one i had the screen rotation worked but no calendar now the calendar is working and everything is good but the screen rotation isn't working or i should say i can put it in landscape just can't put it back without locking the phone first. Still a great job!
[Touch CDMA General] aven_soulgazer:
I'm using the mssmison hero themed system build. It originally let me hide icons from my app drawer. Now it says it's hiding them but they're staying in the main drawer.
[Touch CDMA General] grktaurus83:
A reboot fixes this issue. I mentioned this in the other thread.
[Touch CDMA General] aven_soulgazer:
If you mean shutting down android and booting it up I've done that a few times but it's still doing it to me unfortunately.
[Touch CDMA General] grktaurus83:
Weird. Have you tried a fresh data image?
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
There's a new version of the launcher. I'm working pretty hard on hero, but if I get time tonight I'll update it. As well I'll fix the rotate issue. :)
[Touch CDMA General] :
yep market place doesnt workfor me ..
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
little more info. Fresh data file? or did you try and keep your old one? No one else is having market place issues (that I'm aware of).. How is it not working?
[Touch CDMA General] margosmark:
Works fine with me, old data file but latest zimage and your latest image
[Touch CDMA General] grktaurus83:
Any rough ETA for hero? Days? Weeks?

Just curious.
[Touch CDMA General] aven_soulgazer:
How did you try setting it up with the files? Previous data.img or no data.img?
[Touch CDMA General] NarSan:
i try previous data.im and my old data.img

you have kaiser?
[Touch CDMA General] aven_soulgazer:
Sorry, missed you having a kaiser. Vogue forum and being awake too long. Mostly trying to get these builds working on my phone and then playing with them.

Now I can't even get the first fullhero build running on my phone anymore. Formatted card, put everything back, default.txt has the correct parameters as it's a copy of the prior one that worked. Getting the black screen with top bar and dialer only. I didn't have any problems the first time, aggravating to say the least. I even let it sit with the force close icon, no luck 10 minutes later.
[Touch CDMA General] NarSan:
so what? I must waiting?

lite version too doesn't work
[Touch CDMA General] SuperJMN:
Hi! I've downloaded herofull2.img. My device is a Polaris (Touch Cruise) and I have Android ION installed in my microSD and ready to start.

What I have to do to start this build? The only .img that it into my root dir is system.img.

Thanks!
[Touch CDMA General] aven_soulgazer:
download the hero.zip file located at the same link. You need to use that initrd.gz. Use the lastest zimage. set the default to mddi.width=320 mddi.height=480 lcd.density=160

rename the herofull2.img to system.img and replace your current image. delete your data file and run haret.

No promises or guarentees. We're having problems getting it to work on our vogues still.

For the polaris, yes you'll have to wait for someone more knowlegable than me. 30 hours + no sleep at this point. The lite will not work without the data from the full I believe

Edit: Finally got the first herofull build running again

Edit: Finally got herofull2 running. It required the data from the first hero build, and then it booted up just fine. If anyone else can get the second one to work without previous data file from the first one I want to hear how you got it to boot.

Edit: Can't get data to work. I'm using data from herofull. I disconnected modem and reconnected, still can't bring up webpages. Went back to winmo brought up a browser and went to the xda developers forum then booted into herofull2 and still no internet service.
[Touch CDMA General] rhorton:
Aven, thanks for all of your testing...

Last night, I got the Hero Full working pretty good, just couldn't turn off Touchflo and never got Lite working. Has anyone been able to get Touchflo turned off in order to use the lite system.img?
[Touch CDMA General] craig0r:
I tried yesterday's lite build and it wouldn't boot. However, I beta tested the full build and could not turn TouchFLO off. To do so, you're supposed to go into Settings->Applications->Manage Applications, then click on TouchFLO, and click the "Clear Defaults" button. After that, hit the Home key (the top button) and it *should* ask you which app you want to associate with that action.

However, when I was doing it, it didn't give me an option, it just reloaded TouchFLO, as the Android Home app didn't seem to be installed. That was a beta though. I haven't tried a newer Full build.
[Touch CDMA General] aven_soulgazer:
Go to mssmison's download page, there is a herofull2 file. It has the ability to switch between the Ion home, and the Touchflo home.

mssmison said that you should be able to get herofull2 to start up with no prior data image. I'm attempting that yet again, but as of yet have heard no success stories on getting that to work. Using the data image from the first one, there have been two of us with no internet access while a third person says they have internet access with a prior data image. At least I'm pretty sure that's how it all worked out. Sleep dep.

For the lite version to work though, it appears that you have to have the data image from herofull2 and then swap out the lite system file.

Edit: finally got herofull2 to get to the setup screen with creating it's own data image :)

Edit: Can't sign into google login with new data file, it's still not getting data. It just reboot it's self. Will check modem again.
[Touch CDMA General] TheKartus:
Not sure what my issue is.

Using the correct resolution and density, the old Hero data file, mssmission's initrid, the latest zimage, hero2 system image.

Last night with the old image I was getting the beginning of setup then it would die, and now it is showing me a T-Mobile logo then dieing.

Should I let it create its own data file? or use different supporting files?

Also, is there anyway to disable that crazy loud noise during the boot animations? Its not very welcome at work. ;)
[Touch CDMA General] rhorton:
Thanks guys, I had to go back to Mssmision's themed build last night so that I had a working phone today, but I am definitely going to try it later today or tonight...
[Touch CDMA General] aven_soulgazer:
What do you mean by dying? Are you getting the black screen with top bar that won't pull down and dialer? Or something else?

Short of breaking the speaker, nothing I know we can do on our end. Maybe in the files. I've really got to get my linux up and running and try to catch up to these guys and start pulling some weight if I can.
[Touch CDMA General] grktaurus83:
Anything special you did to get it to the setup screen this way?

Just like everyone else, I'm seeing the BSOD (black screen of death... linux gets them too! haha!)
[Touch CDMA General] TheKartus:
Yeah, the error messages, I hit wait if I can, but eventually I have to force close and I get the blank screen where I can only get the dialer or turn the phone off.
[Touch CDMA General] aven_soulgazer:
When it comes up with the acor? error message that just says force close, leave it alone, let it sit there. 5 or 10 minutes if it has to. It'll either close itself and go to the black page or you will see the google information behind it. If you see the setup information hit force close and you'll be fine. Try the google login and let me know if you register because mine won't. If you waited for a while and nothing or the black screen, reset and start it again. Do the same thing, just wait.

Edit: If I use the data image from the first full build, when I hit home I get an option between ION home and Touchflo, when using the data from hero2 build it just has touchflo, trying to see if I can disable it. Edit: Clear defaults works and can pick the Ion home
[Touch CDMA General] TheKartus:
Ok, good thing I don't need a cell for work. I'll just booted and put it in my desk drawer to keep the sound down. I'll just let it sit no matter what errors I get and see if it catches up to itself?

Has anyone tried the Rogers build and seen if its any good? I may just go back to the hero skinned theme so I can have a working build, WM just doesn't do it for me anymore thanks to mssmission and the other guys.

EDIT: I got to the slide down thing, but when I slid it down it revealed a blank screen with an error that wants me to force close android.process. I'm gonna wait this out a little and see what happens.

MORE: Now I see language choices behind my error message. I hope the error goes away and I dont have to force close it, this is the closest I've gotten. I may put it back in it's drawer and ignore it for 20 min.

AGAIN: Trying to sign into my google account now, touchscreen calibration is very off, but I got my information in. Hopefully this connects.
[Touch CDMA General] NarSan:
I have black screen too, when Android booting, I see T mobile splash screen and show error. And i have blank screen, notification bar and only dialer work.

Anyone helps?
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
first post updated with hero2.5 info.

As a side note check this thread for exchange in regular ion/cupcake builds..

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=536727
[Touch CDMA General] aven_soulgazer:
Force close once you see the language selection, that's the setup screen. You should be good to go. Try logging into google. Score right now is 1 person got data, two of us have not, I'm on sprint. Let me know the results.

You can also hold your finger of the speaker on the back of the phone which helps cut down the sound.

Edit: Are you building a data image with herofull2? That's the one with the data problem. The person that said they had internet working, around post number #372, used a prior data image. The other person and me have both failed getting data with using prior data from the first herofull and I have failed getting data from a newly built data from Herofull2

Follow the directions I gave the others. Boot it up and when you see the error saying force close, do not force close it. Wait. Wait 10 minutes if you have to. You should see a screen come up behind the error with language selection. Once that comes up you can press force close and be fine. If that doesn't work after 10 minutes or more, restart the phone and do the same thing.
[Touch CDMA General] TheKartus:
I'm going to download the Hero2.5 he just posted and see how that goes with it making a new data file. I don't have a data plan, so not having data is not an issue except for the initial sync of my contacts. If I had my backup of my old data file with me that would be awesome.
[Touch CDMA General] aven_soulgazer:
Glad you said that. He hadn't popped his head in down here to mention it. Didn't know he was on.

New initrd too, ok maybe that's just putting it out so people don't have to download the zip

Yeah I was looking at the apn settings and was about to dive into them for my personal use. You think last night was a late night for you, I'm still up :p

Have a great vacation, you deserve it after all this work.
[Touch CDMA General] TheKartus:
Not uploaded atm I think, coming soon, he mentioned it on the previous page.
[Touch CDMA General] t1mman:
Got the Hero2 full working, but can't get a stable connexion, either for the market or google maps.

Tried with Lite version and both work. Still get a crash when trying to download though!

I'll try the new release and let you know!

BTW, hugh thank to Mssmison for all his work! It's more than an honor just to test these release out! :)
[Touch CDMA General] katmandu421:
Someone asked about Rogers. It worked for me last night. Really fast, vanilla theme, just doesnt work with my preferred res settings (320x426 160 lcd density) Any thoughts on getting resolutions other than 320x480 working on Rogers?

I'm all about performance of Rogers, it's wicked.
[Touch CDMA General] aven_soulgazer:
So you have internet connection then? Did you use your data image from herofull or make a new one with the herofull2? What carrier are you on? The lack of market working was known. mssmison's 2.5 build is looking to fix market and the apn settings so we can get internet, better internet, market. Somthing along those lines anyway.
[Touch CDMA General] canyoufindben:
Well Crap. Trying to load Herofull2.0. Reformatted SD, just loops the Hero/HTC screen.

I'm using SDHC right now, I'm formatting a regular SD card now to try on it. I already have 320x420 with 160 lcd density set in default.txt. I let it build it's own data.img

EDIT: No joy with the regular SD card either. Vogue Alltel, WinMo6.1 Radio 3.42.30 unlocked because I have used other ROMS before now. Currently Stock Alltel ROM though.

Just for info, I should be seeing a swapfile right? Because on both my SD and my SDHC cards a swapfile is not being created.
[Touch CDMA General] grktaurus83:
Did the sd card issue get fixed for the rogers build? Market? I didn't think it did, but maybe I missed something...
[Touch CDMA General] NarSan:
ok thanks!! it's working :) but after I select my language, android is freeze and restart, but after restart everything was already.

thanks :)
[Touch CDMA General] akyboy:
I am still getting:

Any sugestions?
[Touch CDMA General] myshinynewtouch:
mssmison - i know this is probably asking too much, but can u upload the files to a google code page or the regular vilrod's page.. i am at work and i cant access mediafire or any other download site... is hero 2.5 stable enough to upload to vilrods google code page ??.. can somebody else upload it there too for u ....
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
hey have you guys tried zenulators new build?

Looks pretty good! I'd say give it a shot if you haven't already. :)

I'll try and get 2.5 up tonight before I go. it's faster for sure, and no crashes on boot.

Someone said it right speed and stability.. I'm thinking after I come back from vacation I'm going to go after exactly that. Hero looks great but I'm all about conquring a challenge. Now that we've (all of us, cause I couldn't have done it without all the testers,plus the devs dzo, vilord, swalter and foobar, and everyone in this great community) conquered hero I'm thinking donut is next on my list...
[Touch CDMA General] aven_soulgazer:
Are you using the initrd file that is under the hero section of mssmison's mediafire page? You have to use that initrd, if you don't it'll cause loop. Could be the SDHD, someone else had to go to a regular sd card yesterday. Then again I think some people were running from sdhd cards.

mssmison is working on testing out a hero 2.5 build. Hoping it fixes my data problem and he's working on getting it to work with market.
[Touch CDMA General] t1mman:
I'm with Bell Canada

I've created a data with the FullHero (not 2) then loaded the HeroFull2. I got a connection with HeroFull2, but not stable; I was able to do a google search but not get Maps/Market to work and either get my google account working. I was able to do all of these with the Lite release.

BTW: also tried voice recorder, thing worked but crashed at the end. Still made the file though! So I assume voice recon/Tuner would work
[Touch CDMA General] aven_soulgazer:
Is mssmison on bell canada, might be why yours works.

Sidenote, HTC Flash Player will work, at least in certain applications. Go to yahoo movies and bring up a trailer of a movie, click play and be amazed. Now it's time to show off my phone
[Touch CDMA General] canyoufindben:
Update earlier post, but yes I am using all file from mediafire, except haret, zImage, and default.txt. Also, on both my SD and SDHC card, no swapfile is being created, and I thought that one was put in to deal with the low RAM issue.

EDIT: Tried used Herofull 2.0 with older mssmison's zipped data.img, and still no go. I work fine on his themed builds. Does it matter what zImage I'm using? I've been using the 29-7-2009 (fixed 160chars+ in sms) one from the google code page. But the zenulator one is using the 27-7-2009. Could that be it? I'll test it out.
[Touch CDMA General] keith.mcintyre26:
Mssmison- I have "work email" fully functional now. Checked manual setup and entered the server address and domain...fired right up. Thanks man; now there's NOTHING I miss about windows.
[Touch CDMA General] TheKartus:
I'm able to consistently get to the part where it tries to connect to my google account, but I can't get it to connect to data. I'm on Verizon, if that matters.

EDIT: What if I use an Ion build or Rogers to get a connection and get my contacts, can I somehow skip the sign in part or the setup and use Hero without a data connection? All I need is my contacts and synched info once.
[Touch CDMA General] myshinynewtouch:
mssmison - u will be my hero if u can get donut working on my phone with hero senseui - as u know we all have cdma phones and i believe donut has the necessary files for that.. and i just read today that sprint is gettting the htc hero on october 11, definitely buying it as long as they dont put a requirement about everything plans...

waiting for ur hero 2.5 build, right when i get home... awesome... meanwhile trying zenulators build... getting a feel for hero...
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
yeah I'm on Bell. This is really causing an issue for my development, because since my first early builds of hero everything has worked perfect for me. I've only been putting out more builds and working on it more to try and get it working for everyone else... I firmly believe there are differences between the different carrier's vogues.
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
donut and hero? wow tall order. honestly I don't think it's possible till htc puts hero on an donut build. :( HTC's files for the hero build replace most of the core android files with their own. That's not to say I won't try, but first I gotta get donut working.
[Touch CDMA General] aven_soulgazer:
You were getting infinite loop right? It might not make it far enough to make the swap files possibly. Try falling back to the older zimage just to check and let us know the results.

Which build are you using?

You have the data file so use the lite system image and leave everything else the same. It's working for me that way. Lite has internet. Hopefully his fixing on herofull2.5 will fix internet for the full version as well as give us market.

The initrd won't work with rogers and the data file's most won't likely transfer over to an ion build either.

What else does donut have that you want? We already have cdma support with the Sense UI right here.

I'm willing to bet money that Sprint will require an Everything Plan for the Android. It is a webcentric device. All contacts are synced through google server, hero has facebook built into it like the Pre. If I could use it on my sero plan I'd try picking one up. Not sure I'd want to extend my contract for it. I know Sprint's history of releasing new phones that are worth while, might not get another good android phone for a while as I'm not a fan of samsung phones.

Sorry about that.

I'm willing to put apn info in manually if I have to, it's worth it. So how do they deal with that issue on Ion, or is it set up differently as far as that goes?
[Touch CDMA General] TheKartus:
I have no problem not having internet, except for my contacts. I guess I could go to lite temporarily until the full 2.5 is out. After my initial sync I kill data connection on startup.

EDIT: If I get past setup on lite, then go back to full with it already setup, maybe it will let me skip the sync and I can go in and use it.
[Touch CDMA General] myshinynewtouch:
oh yeah - there is a difference between the vogues, hell - there is a difference between the vogues from 2 yrs ago and vogues from 1 yr - when i was following nfsfan's builds, he too had the same problem with vogues as he was also from bell canada and a bunch of his user base were out here in usa..
[Touch CDMA General] aven_soulgazer:
Can you get to the setup on lite? You were supposed to keep the data file from the full version and only switch the image. Then you can go into settings in lite and put in your google information and sync your contacts, then switch the system back to full
[Touch CDMA General] canyoufindben:
Well, I'm using the zImage from 27-7-2009 and it's still in the infinite loop. My other vogue just got to the setup screen using zenulator's files. I wonder what the major difference is? I know that all the devs are helping us better our phones, but I would much rather stay loyal to mssmison's builds if I can. They've served me so well in the past. :)
[Touch CDMA General] TheKartus:
That's my plan, currently downloading the image, I haven't tried it yet but I will let you know when I do what happens.
[Touch CDMA General] aven_soulgazer:
Not sure but I like collaboration to make more things work like they were doing with Ion. DZO starting it all out, and Vilord and mssmison jumping in with helping make things work, and srwalter (i think) jumping in and making gps work while the other 3 were off working on different things and putting them all together. We ended up going from running android with no cell service, no gps, no camera, lacking lots of things working to where the only big thing not working is bluetooth. It's great.

So you formatted your card

Loaded all the files, making sure your default has the right parameters, and change the .img to system.img.

Ran Haret

I think I just kept following those steps over and over once i was sure I had the right files. I'll go back and see if I can figure out what I did.

Edit: Have you reset your phone and went back and ran haret a second time and see what it does? That's what I think got me through the loop to the setup screen that time.
[Touch CDMA General] wdbanks:
Plus 1 to all of the above.....somebody help!:eek:
[Touch CDMA General] wdbanks:
Can you or some one else upload their default.txt that they know is working properly for me with the necessary additions? Mayby thats my problem...
