So far Perfect........

Nag,

Been running the latest update since release and have not been able to duplicate any reported issues.Small bug at first using the threaded messaging in the contact manager but was resolved after sending one and recieving one back) also had an issue opening a .txt file for RAM sweeper that said it was unsigned,but switched back to clean RAM because this is hands down the best ROM to date even going back three years with the Touch. It does run about 45% free memory v/s the 55% on the previous release but overall Battery life has been solid , about 10-15% every 2.5-3.5 hours with avg usage and a steady data connection (perhaps the removal of the NUEbattery manager did the trick but again hands down on a solid job.........at least for myself. If she keeps running this stable (until the next release;)) I might just owe you dinner.

[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Nagrom Nniuq:
Glad you're loving it guys.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] imhere:
sooo, like do we have to reinstall everything to upgrade... like a clean install?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Nagrom Nniuq:
Always. But you don't have to switch to this new ROM. Only if you want to.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] eddiecanuck:
So far so good, for the most part. Seem to have some issues turning on the display and having nothing happen. Trying to narrow that one down.

My questions though are: where is a working fix for the keyboard and MMS? I tried the link on the first post and it doesn't work for me. Took me to the post at PPCGeeks and I downloaded the Verizon keybard map & MMS fix, installed and no good on either fronts.

Also, I can't seem to find a working fix for the flip clock or the background for all tabs. I've tried several variations of the Apristel cabs and nothing seems to work.

I've looked through the Programs.rar and don't see fixes for these in there unless I'm an idiot or just don't recognize the filename. Both of which are distinct possibilities. Anyone using this latest ROM that has all this working that might be able to help me out? I'd appreciate it.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Nagrom Nniuq:
I don't believe I put any of that in the programs.zip and if I did it would be for the old sense. There are several working BG4ALL cabs on this site. Just do a search for BG4ALL 2012. For the flip clock fix, I will fix that in the next release but until then, I think MightyMike's fix from PPCGeeks works.

I don't know what fix you need for your keyboard. Mine works fine.

And MMS works fine for me too. If you follow the link that you went to, it has another link to try if that one didn't work for you I think. I don't have Verizon though so...
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Nagrom Nniuq:
Thanks for the recent donations also guys. I don't know which ROMs they were for, but it is much appreciated. I took my family out to dinner.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] eddiecanuck:
The keyboard problem is the Fn+H and FN+J keys do not give the ; and : characters. They give the / and \ characters.

I'll do a search for the background cab and the flip clock although in the big scheme of things I can live without.

Not sure what the deal is with the MMS then. So you're saying it should work fine after flash and provisioning for VZW? Do I need to do a hard reset after flashing? Just asking because it was needed when I was using SSK ROMs. Thanks for the info and all your work!!
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Nagrom Nniuq:
No, if you want MMS you have to download acrsoft from here:

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=93573

I don't know how or if it works, but that is what I am told. I don't have Verizon and the process for Sprint involves more steps...
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] eddiecanuck:
Nice! So BG4ALL is working, MMS is working. Now just need to figure out the keyboard problem. For the MMS I had initially installed the Verizon keyboard and MMS fix in the link above, I didn't do the ArcSoft. So uninstalled the previous one, installed ArcSoft and all is good there. Still searching for Verizon keyboard fix for WM 6.5.5 and coming up empty. Anyone else on Verizon with this ROM? Are your ( ) characters on the keyboard working? If so, did you have to install anything for it?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Nagrom Nniuq:
I am updating the links in the first post as Mediafire continues to have corruption issues.

Also, unfortunately, the time has come for my WM/WP ROMs to end. I have wiped out WM and flashed my Vogue with Linux/Android and will be devoting my time to learning and working on Android and Android phones. Especially after today's ridiculousness from Microsoft. I will also be working a lot with Android on my TP2 in order to learn Android and start developing on Android. As such, my time to build any ROMs for the TP2 will be very limited and I will only be releasing one if there is a build leaked with some major changes. I will also be getting a Supersonic by June hopefully (if the rumors pan out), and then I will be completely done with WM/WP.

So, (barring anything crazy happening) this may well be my final ROM. I know there are plenty of other great chefs who will continue to build great ROMs (though none as stripped and up-to-date as mine ;-)). I will check this thread from time to time. Thanks for all the donations and feedback. Maybe I will see you in the Android forums in the future. So long and farewell.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] modifhigher:
awesome job.ive been a member of multiple ROM cooking forums.i respect the effort any user puts forth.Thanks..:)
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Nagrom Nniuq:
Unfortunately, this 30 day warning is not a joke. I don't have any clue how this happened as all the builds I used supposedly had the timebomb removed. It's happened on my Touch builds also.

I will try to get to the bottom of this and/or get a new build cooked up before the end of the month without the timebomb.

Sorry, I wish this was a joke that I pulled off.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Nagrom Nniuq:
Well, apparently some of the leaked builds got through with the timebomb still in. My fault for not double checking. I'm sorry. I will get a non-timebombed build out before the end of the month guys.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Nagrom Nniuq:
New build (should not have timebomb) going up now. It is build 23551 and I threw in some updates to Sense 2012 as well. Enjoy!
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Nagrom Nniuq:
FYI, Office 2010 is a beta test only and will expire. There is no way around this other than going back to the old Office. Everyone's Office 2010 beta will supposedly expire today according to M$.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Nagrom Nniuq:
So long guys. My Evo arrives tomorrow!

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digisoft:
Hi guys,

I just bought a HTC hero yesterday and i found that there's no Android Market in my device, do i need to install it or? Thanks a lot..
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v3lly2:
Not sure actually what's going on with your device? It should actually be pre-installed on the device. It's in all programs in alphabetical order under m for market. Mine was on the homescreen already tho. I hope that helps. It should already be there tho.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digisoft:
not really.. i cant seem to find it.. any ways to fix it? mayb reformat or?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
Some carrier version of the Hero don't come with Market, but they usually ship with an alternative (e.g. SlideMe). You could always trying extract VENDING.APK (which is the market app) from one of the zipped ROMs and trying to either install it manually, or push it to the device, but it may not work. I'd probably just update to a ROM with Market already in it.

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digisoft:
Hey Dave,

thanks a lot for the reply. yeah, you're right, my hero comes with slideME. what is the latest rom (included market) which I should update to? any revise? thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
I would suggest putting a Modaco ROM on.

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digisoft:
modaco rom is? any difference between the official one and this? sorry.. im new to hero.. thanks a lot!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
See this thread.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] clv:
i installed the Ezinput from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=536215 for wvga... i installed it, then it said a reset is required to finish intallation. after the reset, it went to the touch diamond 2 boot up screen, after that was over, then screen displayed nothing. its black, and usb does not respond when i connect it to the computer. any ideas? i already tried the reset using teh red button. took out the memory card, where i install the .cab, still doesnt work. any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] DeathJester:
If it's totally unresponsive from boot, hard reset it. Hold Volume Down and press the "red button" to reset it. It'll go back to factory settings.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] alwaysrun:
same problem here, help needed!!

i tried to restore it to the factory setting using volume down and red button but when the phone flashes it shows me this three color screen with the message "serial" on the bottom side of the screen, any ideas on what should i do???

thanks in advance...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] ArtieQ:
To perform a Diamond 2 hard reset

1. With the device turned off, press and hold the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons, then briefly press the POWER button.

2. Continue pressing the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons until you see a message on the screen.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] carlosmozas:
What you did is boot in "bootloader mode"; in that mode you can try to flash again the original ROM.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] alwaysrun:
thanks

thanks a lot guys, your help is well appreciated, i finally managed to flash the phone bios and now trying to install the original rom, thank you again
[Hero, G2 Touch General] HurricaneDC:
Hi All

I'm wondering if there's a way to animate the flip clock widget for the CDMA Hero. I swear that the Sense UI used to have it animate (at least that's what I remember seeing in the videos) but now it just instantly switches to the next number.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] streetdaddy:
AFAIK 'flipping' animation of the HTC clock widget was removed due to it being a major contributing factor to the lag in Sense UI...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
No, it was just perceived to be. On the old firmware, if you hadn't used the phone for sometime, or it was otherwise engaged on a task, when you went back to the screen with the clock widget you would see the old time and it would play an animated flip to the new time.

With the new firmware, you'll often see the old time, but now instead of using the animated flip, it just switches to the new time.

Personally, I rather liked the animated flip catch up.

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch General] streetdaddy:
In this case I don't really see the difference :rolleyes:

With the flip, returning to the home screen and swiping while the flip animation was still going, or had just finished, there was noticeable lag before the swipe animation started.

Without the flip, no laggy swipe...

This was perceived with my eyes, and i'm struggling to think what other aspect of my perception held the truth. Maybe I should've tried licking the screen?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
Without the flip.... but with the new ROM. I think you will find that it is mostly the other performance enhancements included in the new ROM that were responsible for the reduction in lag, and not the removal of the clock flip animation.

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch General] thecastlefordkid:
Flip was removed on the new ROMs for performance issues as other people have said.

However, the flip/animation is still available on some of the other clock widget styles. If you use one of the standard clock face type styles for the HTC Clock, these do have the clock handles spin round to the current time when you go back to the home screen. The flip was only changed on the defualt 'Digital' clock style I believe
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] orik13:
Hi guys,

Some time ago, when I used a stock ROM and older cooked ones, I could just copy WMA files to Windows directory and they were visible in Alarm manager. I.e. those files were displayed in a list of all available alarm sounds and I could select them.

Now this way doesn't work (at least in some ROMs I tried). Only ROM's preloaded alarms can be used.

There is no such a problem with other rings (they can be copied either to Windows or My Ringtones and it works fine).

So, the question is how to do it.

Can anybody assist me in that?

Thanks in advance.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] smielek00:
use .wav version of your sound file.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] orik13:
GD! I should think about it! Thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kazuni:
So today, I was upgrading from modaco 2.7 to 2.7.1,

after the upgrade (using recover mode and the signed zip file (core chinese)), I did a system wipe and reboot the device with the USB still plugged in my PC, and everything seems to be normal until my pc's tray notification pops up with the "unknown device found" message - i thought it was a little bit odd, so then I waited for the hero to boot up completely - it reboots after showing the HTC logo once, and then it boots normally to the setup wizard (select language, etc);

I then followed the normal procedure of typing all the wifi, flickr, gmail stuff in, and when i got into Rosie, it shows a notification icon on the hero saying "SD Card removed". I can't access the SD card, nor my pc can recognize the hero. I ejected the SDCard and re-insert it but it's not detected either. HTC Sync on the device does not give a notification nor the mass storage notification shows up either.

I tried rebooting into recovery mode, (Hero 1.2.3) and i can see the menus just fine; however, when i try to mount SD card as usb, or flash update.zip or any zip, or fix ext3, or clear dalvik-cache or wipe the sdcard's ext partition, it keeps giving me errors saying

error: run 'whateverprogram' in terminal

when i try to set 'USB Mass storage on', it says "Error enabling USB mass storage! Run ums_enable manually from console.

I then try to login the device using adb shell through window's command prompt, it says device not found as well.

giving up, i tried to reboot teh device into fastboot mode, the PC recognizes the USB device just fine. it's really odd.

Anyway I can do a recovery on this to make these device work again?

p.s. when i try to choose zip file in recovery mode, it says

"E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0) (No such file or directory)

Can't mount sdcard, aborting".

after every reboot (shutdown, start), the setup wizard shows up again as if I have not written anything on my device after any setup.

I can't download anything to run on the Hero as it requires the SD card. I can't flash any recovery images either as again it requires the SD card.

Any ideas??? I'm left with a half-brick now :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kazuni:
Update1: using ConnectBot I can login my own device using root,

it shows the following when i run df -h:

/dev/block/mtdblock3 1700M 157.3M 12.7M 93% /system
/dev/block/mtdblock5 165.8MB 12.8M 152.9M 8% /data
/dev/block/mtdblock4 130.0M 1.2M 128.8M 1% /cache
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Al936:
kazuni,

Can you read SD card in your PC?

Several persons reported problems with SD card after upgrading to modaco 2.7 or 2.7.1. They have to format SD card.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kazuni:
Thanks for the quick reply.

I have tried doing so, in fact, i have 4 SD cards to try and none of them are readable in the Hero; they are readable using a card reader in my PC though.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kazuni:
Update2: the only way that my pc can detect my device as "My HTC" is when i boot it into fastboot mode; unfortuantely there are no way for me to update the device in this mode, so i can't do anything to modify the rom, or to check it using dropbear or any shell client. =\

C:\Documents and Settings\user>fastboot devices

HT97RL900725 fastboot

it sees it just fine.

I wonder if the goldcard method + fastboot update will work or not; let me give it a shot and try to flash it back to 405.5 first ;\

update3: can't. fastboot update is still locked for any rom type.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dying4004:
damn man. its freaking. i am not going to update to 2.7.1 untill this issue is resolved. :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kazuni:
still no go.

im left with a half-bricked device that:

1) clean wiped, normal boot, cannot detect SD card nor the Hero is detectable by XP.

2) clean wiped, recovery mode, can't run any of the script except :

Reboot System Now

Wipe data/factory reset

Fix apk uid mismatches

Fix rotate

3) can't download anythign from browser as it needs to save onto sd card.

4) android market doesn't have flashrec so i can't reinstall the recovery image.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kazuni:
wget ftp://myhost/system.img /data/

flash_image system /data/system.img

hope this works :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] packetlss:
When you are in the shell check out the file /proc/cmdline.

Would be interresting to see if the HBOOT send a command line to the kernel to disable the SD card.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kazuni:
can't. It doesn't even boot into normal mode, nor boot loop. it just holds at the HERO logo.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kalairn:
I think I have the same problem, i can charge my phone but trying to mount my phone to either my pc or mac it just won't be picked up
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kazuni:
tried using RUU with a goldcard, no go. remote not allowed (fastboot flash system system_rel.img, nor fastboot boot boot.img or fastboot flash boot boot.img. no go. sigh.)

now i have a brick :\

wonder if there is any way to go into fastboot mode and flash ANY part of the blocks (device, recovery, or system, if at all).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kazuni:
Some progress: using hboot mode, i placed HEROIMG.zip into the sdcard and it loads successfully. it works! and im now rolled back to official 2.7.405.5; however, the USB and the sd card is still dead ;\
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kazuni:
I guess I'll be bringing it back to HTC to see if they would do anything about it (fortunately It's now back to stock recovery and 2.74.405.5)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kalairn:
I managed to do the same thing, i'm hoping the tmobile will replace my phone
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pocasolta:
hi all,

I am having the same issue... what I don't understand is: it has to be a software problem, because, from what I've read, everyone of us have been installing radio and firmware updates to the htc hero, and since some of these updates the USB and sdcard mounting is not properly working... I believe it's not possible to break a USB port just by installing software...

so there should be a way to fix this other than sending the phones back... If anyone has any suggestion I can try it on my phone

cheers : )
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kazuni:
I know it's weird! Funny thing is, official updates includes radio + recovery + pretty much every part of the rom is being re-flashed (including hboot, from what i understand); how ever, ONLY in hboot mode, the device is recognized properly as "Android USB" by windows.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dennis333:
Some of your problems I had to. To be exact: that my pc wouldn't recognize the phone when connected with usb except for fastboot and charging.

For weeks I searched and found some people with similar problems, but never a solution.

I had no problems with my sdcard however.

Now my problem is gone. :D How? I had the HTC Generic 2.73.405.5 ROM (pre-rooted and packaged as update.zip by MoDaCo) and decided to update to Paul's ROM v2.5.

After I was finished with the installation wizard and connected the phone with usb to my pc everything suddenly worked again!!! :eek:

So I got the usb and HTC Sync notification at the top of the screen and can mount the sdcard using the notification bar. :)

This tells me that in my case it definately wasn't a hardware problem as I always thought, but a software one.

I hope you can something with my experiences because I know how frustrating it is when this doesn't work! :mad:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kalairn:
I tried this but it didn't seem to work for me, so I just put the official rom update and sent the phone back to my network saying that it was broken, now i've gotta wait for another 2-3 weeks to get my phone back :(, but i'm hoping they'll give me a new phone :D as i did kinda drop it and there two scuff marks on it :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pocasolta:
hello dennis333,

today I tried going from 2.8 to the HTC generic ROM you told, and then to 2.5. no results.

I also installed the official HTC / Orange Rom update, which I have now. It has improved a bit because now when I plug the USB cable the PC detects something, but it does'nt work... it says 'unknown device' (tried this on two computers)

when I boot to fastboot ( BACK + POWER BTN ) my computer detects Hero ok (My Htc)

I really don't know what else to try...

I saw another post from someone who had the exact same problem and got it fixed by installing SPL and ROM from fastboot menu

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=556038

I tried it too, but when trying to use the SPL zip file he says I get an error ( I guess it's because he has a T-Mobile and I have an Orange Hero)

[update]: I finally got the SPL to flash correctly and then installed a modaco 2.8 ROM, but I still cannot connect the Htc Hero to the PC via USB.

regards
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kazuni:
pretty much the same results that I've got.

The main issue is that, with some new Heros that we get in Asia (i.e. taiwan/hk) the unit's fastboot option does not allow remote boot in fastboot mode so it won't work :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dennis333:
Sorry to hear Pocasolta! :(

The only advise I have left for you is trying some other usb cables. I just read on these boards it helped with someone.

Furthermore I can only say that IN MY CASE it turned out to be a software (rom or spl based?) problem, because that was the part I changed and after that the usb connection worked again.

If you've tried going from Modaco's pre-rooted generic HTC rom and 'upgraded' after that to Modaco's v2.8 ROM and it doesn't help with your problem I can't think of something else to help you. :confused:

I'm really sorry! :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pocasolta:
thanks for the replies,

I tried with several USB cables (all of them working before) but any of them is fixing the issue.

today I formatted the sd card (fat32) and then re-flashed SPL, then generic, then 2.8 and finally the 1.7_hero_teknologist_custom_autosetup_signed.

the phone is ok, but no connection with any PC via USB (only when I boot in fastboot mode)

I'll post again if I make any progress.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pocasolta:
hello,

after so many things tried, I finally gave up and took the phone back to the shop... I hope they return it ok in a couple of weeks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kazuni:
*update:

using a goldcard + renaming an original rom.zip from any WWE RUU to HEROIMG.zip and place it into root of the SDcard, it boots and loads the rom and flashes it -flashing right now. I'll see if my USBs work after this :P

*update2:

the RUU update tool seems to be able to boot the device to RUU USB mode. reading the transferred image...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kazuni:
well, long story short, i got a new motherboard for my htc, under warranty.
