I'm not having any of the battery life problems that you guys are mentioning. My battery has lasted around 14 or more hours each day. Not too bad if you ask me. I just wanted to post, cuz it seems overwhelmingly negative on the 1.0 ROM...but in my experience it has not been.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
Thanks. ;) I don't take it personally though because I know it's not a 1.0 issue. heh. I can't explain why we aren't seeing it until now, but as I said there are people on many other forums who haven't even flashed a rom that are all seeing the issue out of no where.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ElAguila:
When I started out I was getting great time out of my battery. I have even tried a different battery but that didn't help. I wonder if it was anything in the sprint update that did something. I have noticed some problems mentioned on other forums about video freezing but sound continuing and I know this has nothing to do with the fresh rom either.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Lessthantito:
I did notice much less lag after uninstalling the HTC battery widget
[Hero CDMA Android Development] iTouch24:
Bootscreen for next version

possible ???
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jonassalk:
Turns out the problem was a corrupt PRL file. Manually updated the PRL, and everything works again!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] david279:
How do you manually update the PRL?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 702DROID:
aplly it over any rom your running

http://www.4shared.com/file/176276603/ed8c87bf/Nexusperience_10-signed.html

got it from here

http://forum.androidcentral.com/sprint-htc-hero/4382-hero-rom-nexus-one-media-additions.html
[Hero CDMA Android Development] david279:
just figured it out. ##PRL# on the phone pad, type in your MSL, then browse to the prl file.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alexthearmo:
Hey Flipz...I was wondering...are you gonna make a fresh ROM of the 2.1 base that will come out this January for the Eris? I think you should. ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] blehzz:
YouTube won't work doh

Says sorry this vid can't be played
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 702DROID:
whole different problem not related to this ROM
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abcdfv:
It may be giving you a Chinese IP address, just like it was giving me. A re-install of Fresh seemed to clear that problem up. Clearing your cache may work, but it just threw me into a bootloop.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] slackwaresupport:
im having problems with this ROM.. on a reboot everything is fine, but after a while, when someone calls me, it goes directly to vm.. anyone else having this issue?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Nanan00:
If it goes directly to VM then it is likely a network issue, I had a bunch of calls go to VM a few days ago, when I called sprint to see wtf was up they said that the tower by me was down for 4G upgrades.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] slackwaresupport:
i dont think its network.. it happens all the time.. i reboot the phone. and it works for a bit. then after a while.. i dont know exactly how long.. all calls goto vm.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] blehzz:
Was this in response to my YouTube broken?

173.139.46.*

US ip

YouTube works over WiFi but not mobile network. I guess unrelated to fresh.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abcdfv:
I had a similiar IP address, but it was routing me to the Chinese Youtube server, as well as Japanese Facebook.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] blehzz:
I noticed Google defaults to the French page. Hmm. Just re run fresh update over this install or wipe first?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abcdfv:
I just installed it over.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] blehzz:
Thanks will try that soon.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gu1dry:
Had almost the same issues about a month ago, where Google was rerouting to the Spanish Google, it kind of just fixed itself after about 2 weeks of it happening.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] coldfire2122:
I was having the same issue with all calls going to voicemail without ringing. I know it's not network issues. It did not happen until a few days after I flashed to fresh 1.0... if I reboot fixes it temporarily. I flashed back to Stock 1.56 and have not had the issue since.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kraminc:
I am having some issues here. I had to reflash back to stock after a failed attempt at app2sd. I did the update and rerooted. But when i flash fresh 1.0 it gets stuck in a rebooting loop. Can anyone help?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] lilzone:
For some reason I am unable to do a nandroid backup after I installed 1.0. I did a wipe before loading this rom. I keep getting error unable to backup. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] coldfire2122:
What is the exact error?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
And what version of RA are you using?

Try clearing your cache. Or you may need to reformat your SD card. What do you mean "did the update"? Do you mean RUU?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kraminc:
I didnt think about clearing the cache. I did try formating the sd card. Yes I flashed the stock ruu the did the ota update.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kraminc:
I tried clearing the cache but that didn't work. I'm really confused this isn't making much sense. Keeps going through the boot up process hangs at the flashing wait and starts over.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zilesx:
Did you wait several minutes for it to boot the first time after flashing? It takes a long time to boot the first time after flashing a new rom. Make sure you are giving it enough time.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] liquidkernel:
Going to chime in with a compass problem, only started after installing Fresh 1.0. None of the apps which utilize the compass work properly anymore (point to south mostly) -- this includes standard compass apps, Google Sky Map, and others.

Calibration did nothing to help. Also tried playing with Spare Parts, no luck there either.

Any idea?

Update 1: fine for a bit after I uninstalled Spare Parts, but then it's back to it's broken ways again.

Update 2: Okay, did a Nandroid backup to before the Fresh ROM. Having the same problems. Oddly enough, shaking the phone vigorously seems to solve it for a bit. I am thinking that the internal compass may be damaged... wonder if HTC will warranty this.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
Yea a number of pages back someone else said something about the compass. I downloaded one from the market just to test it (I never use a compass) and it worked just fine for me. I wonder if there is a way to calibrate it rather than the figure 8 motion they recommend. I know that the "metal detector" app has a "calibrate" button which works similar to the tare feature on a scale, but I'm not sure if it's only for that app or actually does something to the magnetometer. Fresh ROM is based off of the stock Sprint rom so it's not like an AOSP build where things need to be added back in and fixed. And I didn't do anything to the drivers for the magnetometer. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] lilzone:
I get error: backup not performed. Thanks for the response, o yea I'm using 1.2.3 v
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kraminc:
Yes I waited for a while. Problem is it will keep starting the boot process over.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] coldfire2122:
I found this on another forum. It seems you just need to delete/remove the old nandroid backups off your sdcard. I can't test it cuz i'm not having the same issue. I would also suggest maybe updating to the newest version of the recovery image.

http://androidcommunity.com/forums/f56/nandroid-backup-issue-23239/

Hope this helps and let me know if you need more help.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
I only tested it using RA 1.5.2. Which you should be using anyways. ;) You can use the "auto-rooter" in the app to update yours. Even though you are already rooted, it won't hurt to use it. And it will take you from 1.2.3 to 1.5.2 (assuming it works. :) )

Edit:

Yup, that should work too. Thanks for the help and link. 1.5.2 is designed for multiple backups instead of one on top another. So upgrading should also fix it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] lilzone:
Thank you, that worked!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] lilzone:
Thanks for the response, Do I just install the updated version to my sd card and then run update zip from my phone to update? Sorry for the nube question, Loving the Rom though, loving how quick it is!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
My kitchen (link in my signature) is a GUI application that you run on your computer. The "auto rooter" is what you would be looking for. As I said I know that your phone is already rooted but running the auto-rooter will still upgrade you to 1.5.2 and won't hurt your root status.

Alternatively you can follow any rooting instructions for flashing the recovery image but replace RA 1.5.2 with 1.2.3.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] petrochemicals:
I have the same problem, is there a solution to this?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gmelchert:
nvm................. misread your post
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sottilde:
Thanks for the progress so far guys, killer rom. I have a bit of a problem with brightness though - it goes pretty dark all the time. Any ideas?

Also, is there a patch out that fixes the location cpu usage issue?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alexthearmo:
I'm pretty sure you have to change each notification sound individually...for example, when in the gmail app, open menu, than settings than set the sound for gmail. Then also do the same for the calendar, and then obviously on the main sound settings page. That's what I did, and now I got the sound that i want. Hope that helps (i might be wrong tho).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
I'm not missing any? Basically the only thing that my instructions have you do is add back the stock apps that were removed (because the update checks for them) and then I took the update from Sprint and extracted it and repacked as a .zip so it could be applied using our recover image. So if your apps are missing then it somehow happened as a result of the Sprint update itself (not likely) or something that went wrong when you were pushing the removed apps back to your phone (steps 1 and 2).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tango22203:
confirm this method work for me too...been 3 hrs also....thanx a bunch
[Hero CDMA Android Development] elguapo76:
I did a factory reset before running the update so I wanted to restore my purchased apps. The apps are actually missing in the app store. I cannot find them in my downloads or by searching the store. Some of the apps that are missing are mybackup pro, PowerManager Pro, Act 1. It is probably a problem with the update or google's verification system.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
The apps that are visible to you in the market are controlled by how the phone presents itself to the the market place. So it's possible that it's either a side effect of the update and it will get resolved on Google's end, or they added something to the update that's blocking them and it will have to get resolved on our end. ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bl4ck0ps:
Thank you!!!! I gave up after about an hour....then saw this post and cha-ching! Thanks for the post!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PikkonX:
I can also confirm. Going through MoDaCo was the only way to get the MR install procedure to work for me.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
Sorry about that guys. I've figured out why it's not working for you but I would have to release a rom update to fix it and I'd rather just release an update that already has the new update in it. :) Working on it now.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] elguapo76:
For people having issues with adb I was having similar issues. It worked by running the remount and push commands with the phone booted to the image restore screen. The one with the green lettering that has all the menus to apply new Rom's, nandroid backup etc. If it fails once try again, it worked for me.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jonnythan:
I'm having trouble with Wireless Tether. I moved from MoDaCo to Fresh, then removed the tether app from the /data/app, /data/dalvik-cache, and /data/data directories, rebooted, then pushed it to system/app and rebooted again.

I get an "Unable to start tethering" error.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] elguapo76:
I am also having the same problem with wifi tether. It appears that root is locked when running the ROM. When within terminal and adb shell and trying to run as SU I get:

Permission denied

here1here2here3here4here5$

Within the image restore I can still run as root from adb shell. Any way to extend this to running the ROM?

Also: I did a nandroid restore to stock ROM and system restore/data wipe before installing this ROM
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
Try waking your phone up when you do SU and see if it's asking for permission.

Updated rom is done I'm just in the middle of tweaking and doing final tests. I need to test going from a non-updated phone to new rom, from an OTA updated phone to the new rom, and from someone who followed my earlier instructions to new rom. Gotta make sure I don't see any issues before I make it public.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] elguapo76:
It's awake. I've tried running it both from a terminal app downloaded from the market and from adb shell. Will look out for your ROM tomorrow. By the way it appears quite a few users (rooted and non rooted) are having trouble with apps not appearing in the market. Hopefully google will step up to the plate and fix that.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
If someone out there is missing apps (they aren't showing up in the market place) and is willing to test something then PM me. I have a possible fix but don't want to put it in a public release until it's tested.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
Bump for new release. Enjoy.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] yaosers:
Hope this is not a stupid question. I'm still pretty new at this.

I successfully rooted the phone and did a nandroid backup.

I also successfully flashed the newest version of the ROM. However, I'm trying to load Sprint TV back on.

I tried to run adb remount but i keep getting the error message: remount failed: Operation not permitted.

What am I doing wrong here? I know the phone is properly rooted. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] JASII:
My phone keeps playing the FRESH sprint animation over and over again after updating to 0.4 from modaco 1.1. I've waited 10 minutes and nothing. Even pulled the battery and rebooted again and it did the same thing. I have my nandroid backup so it's all good, but does anybody know why it is doing this? I would really like to try this new fresh rom :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] lonequid:
The same happened to me. I did a factory restore and it booted up fine but my apps2sd was gone so I just went back to modaco and will wait for him to incorporate the update.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] slackwaresupport:
mine was on a loop ... the /system/sd didnt mount on boot...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] crake001:
Is anyone else having trouble putting the removed apps back on .4?

I've tried: adb push c:\"directory apps are in" /system/app

With phone on it gives an error message, with phone in green and black reboot screen it says the files transferred successfully, but they are not there when I restart.

Other than that everything is working great, went from nandroid backup of stock after factory reset then flashed .4 fresh, wake time is finally going down. Thanks for the hard work.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] herzzreh:
Installing over modaco 1.1, I get tons of force-closes on boot. Ugh... hard reset isn't an option for me.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
This is controlled by phone and has nothing to do with fresh rom. If you feel that it's too dark and you want to turn off auto brightness then you can go under settings < display < disable auto backlight.

You can then set it to the brightness you want.

I'll be putting a test fix in to fresh 1.1 for the location cpu issue, but I have no clue if it will work. I restart my phone way way too often to know.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] deadonarivalry:
Really? It's been at least a week for me and the missing apps have not resurfaced in the market for me.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] petrochemicals:
Thanks, I was doing it from the main settings. Now all works.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sam-i-am:
Hey thanks for Fresh - been rocking it since I got my hero a few weeks ago.

Question: I had to do a hard reset over the weekend because I was not receiving some sms messages. I held down home and power to get into the recovery rom thing and did the reset from there. Everything came back up, but I'm missing some apps such as the tethering app and the extra bits and pieces app (can't remember what it was called) and possibly other things as well.

Anyone know why this is and how I can get that stuff back?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
What did you do to "hard reset"? In any case, re-flashing fresh right on top of itself won't result in data loss (*data loss could occur. :D ) and will reinstall the extra apps.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gthing:
I wiped by booting into system recovery and selecting "wipe." I wanted to start over from scratch as part of troubleshooting the message problem.

(I am sam-i-am - was logged into that old account by accident)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sottilde:
Thanks for the reply on this. I would disagree on the brightness issue, although I can't seem to track down any reason why this would be controlled by the ROM. I have another Hero, stock with the latest Sprint update, and it has no backlight issues. Mine will consistently be too bright or too dim and is generally unpredictable. Using stock ROMs I don't have this problem.

Who knows if this can be tracked down. Probably not... but we're getting 2.1 soon so it likely won't be an issue.

Thanks for throwing in the fix for 1.1. I like to keep mine on for days at a time so it would be nice.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bcnice20:
jus take out the lock leave rest the same its a good look
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jerrygon:
OK I looked at my calendar and my best estimate was mine came back exactly 5 days after I flashed back to fresh 1.0. I also remembered I did reboot the phone at least 2-3 times a day to try to help it. That seemed to work for me.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrinehart93:
Hey Flipz! Great work on Fresh so far... I love it :) As far as a lockscreen overlay goes, I think just keep it clear. Then provide other ones that can be added (if one chooses to) through your kitchen. For a future release I have some suggestions though (if they are possible):

1. CPU Scaling when in sleep. I don't know if the CPU scales down when it's in sleep mode, but is it possible to either add it or increase the CPU scaling so that it saves more battery?

2. Further optimization of the files. I know you already deodexed them (or whatever that's called), but what would happen if you also zipalign'd them? Or is that the same thing? Because although Fresh is already very fast, it'd be fun to get it even faster.

Thanks!

-mike
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Gh0zt718:
personally i like the invisible lockscreen but if it were me i would put that square lock slide down thing the 1 in maxisma's old saphire sense i cant wait till you guys get 2.1 successfully ported to the hero cause i wanna use that as my daily PREEETTTYYY bad
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Esclav0:
Freshed it up

Flashed Fresh 1.0 last night, then De-Fresh 1.0 without a hitch.

Cool beans! :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] grifforama:
Using Fresh 1.0 for the first time for a whole day today.

Must admit pretty good so far.

However, just plugged in to AC, and it rebooted itself.

Anyone else had this problem ?

I did have Automatic Task killer running previously, but had uninstalled it previous to this.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
You are the first to report it, and I'm pretty sure others have charged their phones over the last 2 weeks. :p It was either a total coincidence, or there is an application you have installed that freaked out.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] grifforama:
I'm guessing there are no log files on the device ?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obelisk79:
logging is most likely diabled for performance reasons.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] grifforama:
OK. 6pm on day 1 of using Fresh as my daily ROM.

I'm now sitting here with no ability to open some apps. Gmail will not open. Mail will not open. Bloo will not open.

My mail widget shows no messages (yes I have applied the patch)

Facebook widget stuck and will not open Facebook App.

Settings does open. Everything seems very slow.

I'm not comfortable with this at all.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
So... no offense... but I'll go ahead and say the cliche. If you are the only one experiencing an issue then it's likely something wrong with your setup. Anyone here can tell you that I'm more than happy to help people troubleshoot issues and I'll push out bug fixes instantly. But there are over 2000 fresh rom users and you are the first to have this issue, and the reboot on plug-in issue. I would suggest restoring back to stock and then flashing fresh again to see if it resolves your issue.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] deadonarivalry:
I agree with flipz. Read around and try to fix it before reporting a problem, because as he (and many others) has said, if you're the only one with the problem... it's probably an isolated incident.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jesse714:
I added flashed the fresh rom, then went to a different rom, and cant wait to go back. There aren't a whole lot of roms out that I can find,so from the roms that i have found this one is my favorite... the blue could possibly get annoying later down the road, but for now, very impressed
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
If yours was blue then you must be using 0.6b which was the only one with the fresh water theme. Beyond that it was optional. Get on 1.0! :-P

Thanks for the feedback.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jesse714:
well I am downloading now and I'm excited to see the changes, i have about 20 minutes left on my dl(stupid internet =) ) I will definately post my thoughts once I have installed and tested. If its simply an improvement of what I had before I'm sure I'll be impressed!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
Make sure to check out the de-fresh patch in the downloads section on my page when you go "omg i hate the lock screen" just like 90% of the rest of the community did. Ha. 1.1 is on it's way too. Putting some final touches on it. But there aren't any major enhancements with it. Just updated a few packages and such.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jesse714:
okay I'm confused... can you give me a link to get to that patch?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jesse714:
ha ha please excuse my ignorance i got it figured out... just had to pay a little better attention lol. i'm installing now and as soon as thats done i will add the patch. thank you for all the time and effort you put into making such an awesome phone even cooler. And definitely a big thanks for following up on this forums and helping new android users such as myself with our stupid question lol.
