Fixed keyboard FC issue and setup errors if you restore. Update.zip style patch available (4.1mb). Just flash it right on top of 0.7. If you haven't installed 0.7 yet then you can install them one right after another with no reboot between.

This patch will resolve both known issues. If you already got patch-1 just grab patch-2. I do not plan on releasing 0.7b to fix what a 4.1mb patch can do. :)

Check the first post or: http://geekfor.me/known-issues/

Please let me know if you find any other bugs. These things happen when you modify 101 stock apk's. :) Please help spread the word as I can assure you this will be come 100 times when people don't read.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mroneeyedboh:
I can load .7 over my stock rooted rom right? I already backed it up. Also what about the optmizations? Do I have to wipe them or reload them after I flash .7?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Natty_lite:
Clean work flipzmode. Makes me forget my phone is running on an antique ARM 11.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obededom:
cant boot up completely, I'm getting setup wizard FC error...

how do I push a file to sdcard from recovery?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
On the recovery menu scroll down to the bottom and you will see "sdcard mount on" or something like that. Do that and your sdcard will show up on your computer. Copy it over. Then "sdcard mount off" and flash like normal. If you don't see it in the list of zip's then reboot the phone in to recovery and look again.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] BigBallin:
im sure this has been asked many many times but in my skimming efforts i missed it in the 55 pages. i currently have modaco on my phone how do i go about putting yours on, and im using a mac to do all this if the steps are different. and can i put the wifi tether on my phone like modaco has?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obededom:
ok, thankya
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
You can flash straight from any rom to Fresh (including stock as long as you are rooted). I don't know anything about flashing from a mac however the process will be the exact same as flashing modaco.

Wifi tether has been included (off and on -- currently on. lol) since 0.2.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mroneeyedboh:
flipz, if you decide to not keep the no animation boot screen, would you have to just release a patch to fix it?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dalvarez7:
I've just put this on over a stock rooted sprint ROM. When I went to setup my Exchange Active Sync, I keep getting Foce Closed on the input keyboard. Anyone else seeing this?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mroneeyedboh:
there is a patch for this on his blog.

also flipz, can this be installed over an optimized stock rom? Or will I have to wipe that and load yours. and this .7 version has it already done right? ( the zipalign optimized rom )
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
Yea. I could release a patch that reflashes the boot.img to set it back to animation. Based on the current poll results it looks like that's what people want. But honestly I'll probably wait until the next release to change it back. I know people wouldn't like that, but so many people asked for it. I guess without realizing that with no animation you can't see what's going on. ;)

Please read the first post for known issues and fixes. :)

Thanks for helping out.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mroneeyedboh:
/\ no problem. Thanks for the new release. Now I'm going to give it a shot.

what about the stock rom with optimize, is it ok to flash yours over it? And this version has the optimization already right
[Hero CDMA Android Development] durhamite:
the sprint voicemail icon is not right in .7 for me. How can I reinstall the app? It seems as if the app is working correctly though.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hbkmat:
I really like your work. I noticed on PPC you mentioned the vibrate dialer is hard to locate but I hope someone can find it.

Also is it easy to remove rosie from this version? I have played with both and I think the stock adroid is easier to use.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tamburylar:
Is anyone having force closes of com.takaski.android.voicerecorder on boot up? I've been getting them from .6b and I just upgraded to .7 w/patch and I still get them on boot up. It doesn't appear to cause any real issues but once my phone boots up and shows the start screen I can unlock to the home screen but most of my widgets won't load until the voicerecorder force closes twice. It will typically force close once within 15 seconds but the second one takes another minute. After the second force close everything then loads properly. What's odd is according to "Startup Auditor" the voicerecorder doesn't show as starting on boot so I guess something else is starting it.

It's really more of an annoyance and I was curious if others were having it or had a suggestion on how to remove it.

Thx
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
Yes it's ok to flash over it. Yes this version is optimized already.

I chose to remove the commands that totally wipe the cache which I was using on previous versions for people coming from 1.29 to 1.56. It caused the phone to take an extremely long time to boot and should be unnecessary for anyone coming from 1.56 to 1.56. What rom did you come from? Is the icon showing up as an exclamation point?

Yea you can still just remove rosie.apk and rosie.odex. I have been playing with a very light (sub 60mb) rom that has rosie removed but I haven't had time to debug some of the issues.

This is not a stock app because they are com.android / com.google / com.htc. I tried googling what app that might be and got no hits, but it's something that you installed. Check under Settings < Applications < Manage Applications. Find it and uninstall it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tamburylar:
ugh don't I feel like an idiot thanks a lot Flipz. I've removed it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] durhamite:
Yeah, it is an exclamation point. I was on .6b. I did a nandroid of the stock rom. Flashed .7, then tried to wipe, got the errors I told you about. Did nandroid of stock, did a wipe, then flashed .7 + patches.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
It's working fine on my end but if you are comfortable with adb and command line then reboot in to recovery and try the following:

adb shell mount /data
adb shell
rm -r /data/dalvik-cache
rm -r /data/boot-cache
reboot

Don't make any typos. :) The reboot will take quite some time (3-5 minutes) as it rebuilds the cache. See if that fixes it for you.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LeftonJackman:
Just read the update about the keyboard force close issue. Thanks for the fix.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
If you read the first post (or any of the last couple of pages) then you would know you aren't the only one and that it's already been fixed. :cool:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mroneeyedboh:
One more stupid question, how can we check to make sure the rom was loaded right? I know on Windows phones we can check under like the about phone screen it will say the DEVS name or something.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
Yea, I can do that but chose to leave it out for right now. I suppose the easiest way to know if it worked is with the boot-up. If you have no boot animations then it worked. Honestly you are the first person to ask that. I suppose in the next release I'll edit the build so that you can see the rom version in the about section.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mroneeyedboh:
yeah well does that make me an outcast? haha I just remember the old PPC6700 days.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] iTouch24:
none of these links are working

BUG FOUND: After downloading 0.7 you will also need to visit this page to resolve a bug that was found in htc_ime.apk that causes a force close when you open the keyboard: http://geekfor.me/known-issues/fc-in-htc_ime/

BUG FOUND: A bug was found (and resolved) in customization setup that causes errors if you do a restore: http://geekfor.me/known-issues/resto...-setup-errors/ -- thanks durhamite for catching it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mroneeyedboh:
goto his blog and try it

there is a link for both of the bugs in one zipalign

its the most recent one.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alexthearmo:
Wow!! This Rom is really fast!

Thanks so much flipz!

The only thing I noticed is that it's slightly (I mean, just barely) slower on flipping from panel to panel on the home screen than when I was running Fresh .6 with the optimization zip. Did you optimize the Rosie.apk like they did? Honestly, it's hardly noticeable...but I'm just trying to provide constructive feedback. Everything is super fast and awesome! You are the man!

is it working for u .. not for me

????????????????????
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mroneeyedboh:
yep just went there.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
They work other than the fact that you copy/pasted the link which changed it to "..." instead of the actual link.

It is optimized in the same way, except I chose to not remove all the wallpapers. That's how the other pack made rosie even smaller but I didn't see how that could actually affect the speed or memory because those wallpapers aren't loaded in to memory except for when you are picking one.

Working perfectly fine.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] iTouch24:
can i restore a backup i had from sprite prior to rooting and installing this ROM?

or not recommended being that it came from a different system/rom file??

i am hoping it is safe to at least re install contacts???
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
Definitely don't restore a full sprite backup after flashing. The contacts should be fine. Although why aren't you just syncing your contacts with google?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] iTouch24:
when u sync with google ... it messes up all your CID pics .. they are no longer hi-res ... and when u receive or make a call the CID pics are blurry
[Hero CDMA Android Development] durhamite:
Cool thanks, giving this a try now, will let you know the outcome.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] durhamite:
I will admit I am not the best at adb. this is the message that I get when I do adb shell mount /data

mount: cannot read /etc/fstab: no such file or directory

adb shell works fine.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
Are you doing it with the phone in recovery? Alternatively with the phone normally booted up the commands would look like this

adb remount
adb shell
rm -r /data/dalvik-cache
rm -r /data/boot-cache
reboot
[Hero CDMA Android Development] durhamite:
no, I was using the command line in windows. Used the adb remount and was able to run the commands. How can you access the adb in recovery, I looked and didn't find an option (this is just for future reference for me)

I rebooted after running those two statements and.....that fixed my problem.

Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] esoteric1311:
Cant you just turn the sync off? that's what I do. sync once a week, and haven't noticed blurriness
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
You would still be running it in windows, but the phone itself should have been in recovery mode for the first set of instructions. But the second set worked for you so nothing to worry about.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] iTouch24:
ya i have the sync off .. i think once u sync all your CID pics go to google .. then the next time u sync ... all the CID from google go to your phone .. the low resolution CID pics
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tango22203:
I did get the same error 5 times . I have monaco Rom installed .I rebooted into covery n wipe n restart factory default .run update again n this time its work .
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
Cool thanks for the update. Were you using apps2sd? I'm trying to figure out where the problem is because I installed monaco and then mine just to see if it errored and I didn't. And many others are reporting no errors. So I'm trying to narrow it down.

I'm glad to hear that restoring to factory worked, but I'd like to try and fix that if possible.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tango22203:
Yes I do have appstosd install but I didn't restore or format that ext,just restored facotory..but u think u can add that feature to the Rom ( appstosd)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
The part where the rom fails for some people is when it's copying apps to the phone. Apps2sd changes that location so that's likely why it fails. So I'll either create a version that has apps2sd in it, or just create a version for people that are using apps2sd to that they can install the rom without restoring.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tango22203:
That sound about right. Sorry didn't even say thanks to you...really thank you for this ...great job....if u have stuff for me to test ,im up for it...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] davidboyd:
It would be awesome if you could create a version for apps2sd users as well. I really have a lot of respect for you guys who donate your time to help all us newbs. Thanks a bunch!

Dave
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
If someone out there is using apps2sd (you must have it actually setup and be using it) and can test a build for me then PM me.

I'll need to know if it installs without errors, and if your apps still work after the flash.

Thanks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] davidboyd:
I can try it for you. I have confirmed that I am using Apps2SD and my phone us fully charged and ready for action again.

Dave
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
I'm signing it and upping it now. I'll PM you a link in about 20 mins. Make sure you have a current nandroid backup just in case. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tango22203:
I noticed you stated you remove the IM app, I ran advanced task 3.7 and still seeing IM in background under running processes.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
I removed the main part of the app but there are currently a couple of services left behind because they cause crashes when removed. I'm working on getting them fully removed though. I'll make sure and put it in the release notes once I do. You are likely seeing the improvider services.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tango22203:
I see, thanx for replying.....so far everything seem running smooth.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] intx:
ROM works great, just how I would have had it.

Maybe would've kept Peep and got rid of sprint nav, but thats just me.

Good to see Google Maps working out of the box unlike Modaco's.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] freshlyill:
intx... did you make the switch from winmo?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oxeneers:
Definitely flashing this when I get home. Glad you've explained the battery issues... thanks for being clear.

Flip/fresh, do you guys both have Sprint hero's
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oxeneers:
Definitely flashing this when I get home. Glad you've explained the battery issues... thanks for being clear.

Flip/fresh, do you guys both have Sprint hero's?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
Thanks for the good words and input. We will probably release an "app pack" type thing to give people back the apps they wanted, but I'm not sure how far we'll take that. You are the 2nd request I've had to remove sprint nav though.

Yup we both do. Let me know how the flash goes for you! Some issues have been discovered for people who are using apps2sd. I'll be installing that on my phone so I can test it. That's my assumption at least because the only 2 people having issues both have apps2sd. 92 other downloads so far with no complaints.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrinehart93:
Once I get an exchange on my Hero (I got a defective unit that lets dust under the screen), I'm going to root it right away and get your ROM on there :) All those sprint apps that think it's OK to run without me knowing is pissing me off.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] intx:
Yes I did :D

I have my SD partitioned for Apps2SD, but haven't installed it yet. I would love to see a release with it though.

If you guys need any help I'd be glad to learn how to cook for android, i was a pretty popular chef for winmo.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] goku14238:
Would having your apps on your sd card be better?

Officially LOVING this ROM!!!! Now ready for 1.6.2.0 or 2.1 ROM to be released! Great work Flipz!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] s1148625:
Great work on this ROM. .7 is excellent!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] VoXHTC:
Everytime I do:

rm -r /data/dalvik-cache

rm -r /data/boot-cache

I get nothing but 399 force closes from every app I have installed including the default ones built into the ROM.

?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
As you should if you are doing it while the phone is booted up. You are deleting the app cache. heh. Just reboot. Those were just instructions I posted to fix his voicemail icon though.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] black7:
Thanks for this flipz!

Quick question - I've been using ruskiyab's Optimizations and chuckhriczko's Gutted Rom Extras for the optimized Rosie and apks. Now that you've optimized the apks in your rom, will we benfit from their optimizations? Did you trim down and optimize Rosie as well?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
Rosie is optimized however I did not rip out all of the wallpapers. This makes my rosie about 5mb larger but shouldn't affect the memory because it only loads whatever wallpaper you're actually using. That's the theory at least. But the process used to optimize them is the same as other ones and we did 101 of them.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] black7:
Thanks for the quick response!

I'm assuming you meant "shouldn't" right? :)

Thanks again, I just flashed 0.7 and it's working running like a charm!

Will see how speed is (or isn't) affected without the ultra slimmed down Rosie from the other guys. So far so good though!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
Correct lol. Fixed.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kykiskly:
--Voice mail Icon missing --

Hey guys,

Just rooted and loaded this ROM, must say that is super fast. Thanks for that.

However, I am missing my voice mail icon. What i mean is that instead of having the normal voice mail icon, I have a yellow triangle with a exclamation mark in it. I can still use the app but seems weird.

I am not sure if anyone ran into this, or if this was one of the issues that was with the release.

Any fixes around?:confused:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obededom:
yeah ^^^ that.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] KimidoriSakana:
Hey, I've been using the fresh rom for a while now, and it's really great. :)

I recently upgraded to 0.7 from 0.5d and found that, for some reason, I really disliked the new window animation. I know I can disable animations altogether, but is there any way for me to get the old slide animation back?

Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] realmrealm:
wow, that is Fresh

Wow!! This ROM is amazing.

I rooted a few weeks ago, and put on modaco 1.1

Lately though my phone has been so unbelievably slow though. I decided to pill the trigger, and update to a ROM that had the MR in it.

So last night I was up till late looking at Fresh, reading every post, getting all my files ready and instructions together.

Process I followed:

* write down every application I had installed

* used "My Backup" program to backup call logs/sms/mms

* nandroid backup

* used RUU to go back to stock

* signed into Google account

* rooted phone

* went into recovery and flashed what I thought was Fresh .6

* booted phone and everything was very blue. (Crap I downloaded .6b)

* read a post that said flashing optimizations would change theme from blue to standard

* flashed zipaligned optimizations

* booted and everything looks great but clock minerals are still blue (Crap)

* downloaded Fresh .6

* flashed Fresh .6

* flahed zipalign optimizations

* booted and smiled

* installed "my backup" and restored call logs and sms

* installed 24 apps

* went to sleep at 3:30a with a big smile on face.

* woke at 7:30 went to my first job, and started playing with my new Fresh phone in between running different tasks.

* laughed when I visited XDA and saw that Fresh 7.0 came out.

* downloaded .7 OTA to sdcard

* downloaded patch 2 OTA to the sdcard

* flashed both

Whew! Busy last 12 hours.

First impressions:

* holy cow is everything zippy

* no lag

* Things open and close really quick

* love addition of mute and speaker button during call (mr update)

* evrything looks and feels awesome

Battery life:

I have had phone off charger since 7:30, made several phone calls (about 2 hours on phone with Bluetooth), used gps and navigation for 45min, listened to 1 hour of music, sent 23 text messages, checked email, browsed around web, downloaded Fresh 7 and update 2 for Fresh .7 (both OTA), flahed both those updates to the phone, its now 3:40p anxious still have 40% battery.

Oh yeah, and I just wrote this.

Hows that for a Fresh ROM?

-AndyS-
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kykiskly:
Helpppp

My Voice Mail Icon is gone. :(

I have instead a yellow triangle with a exclamation mark in it LOL:confused:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] david7586:
I flashed .7 and the updated fixv2 and i noticed that the EVDO activity icon (Ev with arrows lit up) show the 1x icon where it should be showing the Ev icon. It makes me keep thinking I'm at 1x speeds, but checking ##debug# and just real world testing show that my EVDO is authenticated and I am indeed getting EVDO speeds.

It's just a cosmetic glitch (phew)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obededom:
your icon has been abducted by the exclamation clan!

unroot and it will be returned unharmed.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kykiskly:
Are you foreal??

What you mean unroot it
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obededom:
jokin bro.

I mean if you return to stock RUU the icon would return...but I'm content on the code-junkies here figuring it out
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Philosophy757:
Nice Rom. Flashed over Modaco with no problem. Thanks on being one of the first and few for Hero CDMA.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] scirio:
This is why he doesn't like it:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] iTouch24:
i put on fresh 7 and patch .. and i see voicemail icon on the main screen fine ..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
VOICEMAIL ICON MISSING?

For those of you missing your voicemail icon it is an easy fix as long as you know how to issue adb commands from your computer. I took these lines out of the boot script because they shouldn't be needed anymore and make the phone take a very long time to boot after first flash. I suppose I'll be adding them back in on the next update. In the mean time, fix your mail icon by opening a command prompt on your windows pc and navigating to where you have your sdk\tools and then type:

adb remount
adb shell
rm -r /data/dalvik-cache
rm -r /data/boot-cache
reboot

It will take 3-5 minutes to reboot as it rebuilds the cache. Please pass this on as it's the second time in the last couple of pages that I'm typing it.

Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alexthearmo:
hey flipz...I'm trying to figure out what this Superuser Permission App that you include in your ROMs does. Do I need it? Or can I remove it? Also, same with the Java App. Do I need it? What does it do? Can I remove it?

Thanks in advance!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] esoteric1311:
fresh + clear

New ROM is quick, except like someone mentioned previously, a little laggy from screen to screen, but everything else quick.

One thing I just figured out, was the whole windows animation thing everyone referred to. If you apply the clear as a bell theme over top of the fresh rom, you lose the window animation, which kinda sucks.

@flip

you think you could work a fix for that? I love the clear theme as it makes everything look cleaner, and you can see more of the wallpaper. Thanks in advance.
