news reader & widget

@Flipz,

after playing around with 2.1 today I really came to like the news reader and widget on that build. is there any way to get it working on this rom or is it just a 2.1 thing?

I was going to try just pulling the files and then pushing them in but could not find any odex files in 2.1
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mergethereat:
Has anyone had problems downloading from the market? I flashed the eclair 2.1 v1.8-7 rom and all was well but when I came back to fresh 1.1 apps in the market dont download.

It says starting download but never starts to download!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ItsDon:
Been lurking here for eons......

Rooted my phone today (had it since launch) and installed Fresh 1.1. All I have to say is "WOW!" Great release. I had a Touch Pro prior to this and was obsessed with flashing (used Mighty Mikes roms) and it appears I'm back to obsessing with the Hero ;)

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I love this phone.......
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theraginasian:
No worries, Thanks for the prompt respone! The keyword in my post was "almost", as I don't mind tweaking a few things myself. I just fear that I will have to spend a bunch of time during each release just to get back to the stock look. Oh well. The Kitchen really is a nice piece of work... Once I figure out how to sign APK's and ZIP's though I can just push my own mods. Once again, thanks for all the amazing work!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] StephenMilone:
i flashed 1.1 over my 1.0 rom and used it for like a day, then i saw the 2.1 rom was updated so i tried that, nice work on both roms.

however i lost my nandroid cause i stupidly changed my cards partition to remove Apps2SD w/o realizing it would delete my fat32 partition. so i tried flashing 1.1 over 2.1 and master reseting it, no dice, was stuck in a boot loop.

so i went to the new RUU, used your pre-kitchen to root and installed 1.1...and now i can't get protected apps in the market..any help?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Nextelian:
Is it just me, or does anybody else notice an astounding increase in battery life? I restored one of my original backups temporarily to pull out some stock apps that I like and WOW, I could sit there and watch the battery count down. 89...88...87...86. With Fresh 1.1 I can go an hour and only run down 1-2%. Unbelievable!

Sad thing is, I know the guys in the HTC/Sprint lab are cooking up a 2.1 that will be just as bad as the original 1.5. For Sprint it's all about compatibility and stability. The OS may be crappy, but it won't cause 1000's of calls to Cust Care about FC and flakiness. It's just business.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theraginasian:
Not necessarily... A lot of the bugs that we have with the Hero are actually directly related to known issues with 1.5... 1.6 shortly followed, then 2.0, now 2.1. Were talking about THREE major revisions and releases. Additionally, with so much development focus on the latest and greatest, it only makes sense that issues addressed with future revisions weren't backported to old, forgotten legacy systems. 2.1 should bring us up to speed. However, I just hope they don't go and release 2.5 or 3 before we even get to take advantage of 2.1... that's my only real concern, is that the release schedule for Android in general is rather confusing.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wtphoto:
this happens with a few of the roms that are still in beta where the market wont show protected apps after you flash back. thus far they are thinking that it is cached somewhere in your google account and all you can really do is wait for it to refresh. they will come back just have to wait a bit.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] StephenMilone:
thanks for the, wish i would of known this ahead of time, would of setup 2.1 on my secondary gmail account. oh well now i know for next time i jump between firmwares, thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
Absolutely.

Thanks as always!

The odex files are merged in to the apk files. So you only need the apk. However applications built on a newer sdk have a flag on them to prevent them from easily running on an old sdk.

http://geekfor.me/known-issues/known-issues-resolved/market-items-not-showing-after-using-2-1/

There is a long (but working) fix for it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Diplomat2387:
This ROM is great...Definitely faster than stock...I can't wait to see what you got cooking up...Maybe some 2.1 or even the Nexus One ROM..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wookietv:
hi-i asked this over on the geekforme site, but i figured i would try here too in case a forum member might know...

i used pre-kitchen to change the theme to the defresh-full-removal, but decided that i would like to change it back to the 1.1 default. unfortunately, this theme is not included in pre-kitchen. how do i get the 1.1 theme back?

thanks for any assistance.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] adelaney:
I didnt have paid apps showing up for a long time. Before 1.1 I had modaco1.3. That was the first time I could see them. Now with 1.1, I can see them too. Knot sure why, but it works. What I really would like to know is where the weird Christmas song in my notifications came from. I think it was hidden in the nexus add on pack. It had the nexus ringtones, wallpapers etc.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] miguelfp1:
try re-flashing Fresh 1.1, it should work
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ItsDon:
I've never used Spare Parts before but noticed it was included in this rom. I ran it and changed the two transition effects to "fast", I love the way it looks/works now!

Also, my wifi tether is working and FWIW, and I like the Blue highlights. Just wanted to weigh in.....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jonnythan:
Great ROM, though I don't like the transparencies.

3 questions:

1) Once I choose a lock screen wallpaper, how can I go back to transparent?

2) Can I change the clock color/font? The white is almost invisible against my home screen.

3) Any chance of getting a 1.0-style De-Fresh?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wookietv:
i guess it was that easy... since i'm new to this, i thought that would revert everything back including other settings/customizations.

thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kraminc:
For Number 1 you can use the Kitche to remove that cached lock screen to go back to transparent.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] N0J:
1) you can run the 'remove cached lockscreen' tool in flipz's kitchen.

2) flipz was thinking about changing the lockscreen text color, he might be able to make that change, I can check.

3) we are looking into releasing one.

Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nck4857:
Hey Guys, I just wanted to let you know that I got Fresh 1.1 up and going..! I like it and it's defiantly quicker. I had to restore and reflash it once, I was trying to change the theme and somehow it screwed everything up, but it's working fine after the restore and reflash...

Since I'm bored, 2 more questions for anyone..

1)can I change the bottom menu (the program, phone, add buttons) back to the stock curved look? I think i saw this somewhere, but i'm dizzy from looking at all these pages.

2) can I delete the stock mail program and browser? I use the Gmail app and dolphin.

Again, thanks for all the help!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TrevE:
Thanks for the great rom! Just came from modaco 1.3a and im really diggig the new look. Everything feels snappier too. I made a few tweaks to it, ill list them here in case anyone else wants to do the same thing. Hope nobody is offended by making the changes, to each there own with customization though.

First I wasn't too fond of the transparent status bar (when you drag down on the notification bar the bottom unused portion was transparent) To fix i took /system/framework/framework-res.apk and copied it to my machine from both modaco1.3 + fresh rom. I opened it with winrar and went to /res/drawable-480x320 in the modaco rom. I took any of the Status_Bar*.png files and plopped em into the one from fresh. I did the same in the /res/drawable folder. Pushed the new apk back to system/framework, rebooted and viola, old statusbar is back.

Also I wasn't really digging the voicemail icon with the purple background, i took stat_notify_voicemail.png from the /res/drawable folder of modaco and replaced the one in fresh.

I also changed the clear lock screen to one with the padlock from:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=605407

All and all im really loving this new setup. Only thing I've noticed is when i start a game & exit (bebbled in this case, happens with others too) The left up arrow icon on the bottom bar seems to disappear and the whole box moves over a few centimeters until i tap it. Attached is a screenshot of what i mean. Any clue how to fix this?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dereklane:
Just flashed, and i freakin' love it

Just switched from MoDaCo 3.0 to this

Love the look and feel of the ROM
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gu1dry:
How did you switch from MoDaCo 3.0, a GSM Hero ROM, to Fresh 1.1, a CDMA Hero ROM?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
That's really strange. Thanks for the screen shot, it always helps. I'll look in to this. Are you launching the game from your app drawer or from a home screen?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kraminc:
I had this issue once also. I was exiting out of klaxon in landscape mode.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kraminc:
Just noticed a small issue. Anyone else not getting a sound when taking a picture?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Condo20t:
Just tested mine and I'm getting no sound either.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TrevE:
It only happens when launching from the app drawer. I tried with a shortcut to cestos from the homescreen and it didn't happen. Launched the same game from the app drawer and it did. It seems like its when something 3d launches from app drawer that changes screen orentation? I got the same issue running the game buka, but not when i changed orentation in handcent.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wookietv:
i'm with you on this, i'm not crazy about the transparent shade.

i tried to do what you had said and when i reflashed with the new zip, i get the error

Verifying update package...
E: Wrong digest:
system/framework/framework-res.apk
E: Verification failed
Installation aborted

other than replacing the pngs and then reflashing, was there anything else i needed to do?

thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smittycg:
nexus boot screen

not sure if anyone wants it, but i was bored and flashed this one just to try it, worked fine from flash rec.

http://forum.androidcentral.com/sprint-htc-hero/4382-hero-rom-nexus-one-media-additions.html

Fresh 1.1
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TrevE:
I dont know about putting it back into the flash image. I think the files are checksumed somewhere. All i did is took my edited framework-res.apk put it in the root of my SD card and ran:

adb shell

# cd /sdcard

# mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

# cp framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk

# reboot
[Hero CDMA Android Development] myke66:
having the same issue. opening and closing the app menu fixes it, but ive noticed it a few times.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wookietv:
thanks for that explanation... worked perfectly!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ItsDon:
I'm having both the "arrow" button issue and the "no sound from camera" issue also. Neither are deal breakers by any means, just an FYI. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gottria:
+1 for a 1.1 De-Fresh. Looking forward to it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] watzone69:
Thanks! I had the boot splash and wallpapers from another thread but not the notification sounds.

Flipzmode, this ROM is so stable that I keep forgetting that it's new on my phone!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flammenwurfer:
I would also like to vote for a 1.1 De-fresh. I LOVE your fresh ROM and it works wonderfully. I just like the stock look best.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Semantics:
I love the Espresso look!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] FoxRacR17:
wow this is easily your best rom so far fresh, major props. My girlfriend even commented on how quick it was. One thing that we both noticed however is that the stock sms app no longer resizes the pictures automatically when we try and send them as mms. It just tells us that the picture cannot be added because its too large. So what we are doing in the meantime is opening with picsay and having that resize it to the smallest option then exporting to mms.

We were using handcent but we got fed up with the landscape keyboard lag that it had, and went back to stock and i love how much quicker the landscape keyboard is, still not completely perfect though
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jonnythan:
OK, here's a question.

If you've disabled HTC location manager, but the system location service still works, is there a way for non-rooted users to disable/remove the HTC location manager? Seems that this would be quite helpful for those people who don't want to root and load a custom ROM.

Is it just a matter of removing HTCLocationService.apk? Clearly that would require rooting the phone (unless there's a way around that?), but at least it wouldn't require flashing the recovery image and flashing a ROM.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mroneeyedboh:
Had something crazy happen today. One the bar at the bottom, the up arrow with the circle around it disappeared. The button is there but its empty, when I press on it top bring up the menu it comes back. IDC really, just thought Id point that out. I tried to replicate it but I cant get it to happen when I want it to.

BTW texting is WAYYYY faster now thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] prattleon:
Anyone else having trouble using the "wireless tether app" in Fresh 1.1? i had it working before, and now it force closes every time.

also, i cannot get google listen to work at all. i keep getting an error message:

"an error occurred while playing this episode."

any thoughts?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jonnythan:
Uninstall using the Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications list, then reinstall it.

See this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=610786
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mroneeyedboh:
/\ I think someone said that you need to delete the one in there now and just reload it. I think there are conflicting problems with the older one being over written with the new version.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] prattleon:
thanks fellas. that appears to have done the trick.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LeftonJackman:
I am noticing that my in-call volume is a lot higher now that I have 1.1. Even when I have it at its lowest volume it is still pretty loud. Anyone else noticing that?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ItsDon:
Me too. Doesn't seem to have a great (if any) adjustment range. Definitely wasn't like that with the stock rom.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] roundaway:
fyi. I installed the experimental 1.7 version and thought it wasn't working because could not establish a WEP connection even though the phone and client had it enabled. Uninstalled back to 1.6 and still the same. According to the authors website it is a known pronblem with the CDMA Hero.

Anyhow, great ROM and looking forward to 2.1.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Tipharet:
I used 1.0 defresh and it worked fine
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gthing:
Anyone know how to change the status/notifications bar icons to something ... else? I'm not a big fan of the fresh 1.1 icons. The default android ones or the default hero ones would be nice...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 702DROID:
use the pre-kitchen ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] omeganot:
A few pages back another member commented on how to do this. It basically involves recreating the framework-res.apk with the old images in place. So, right now it'd be a bit of a manual process to find the files you don't like, replace them with the ones you do (from another or older rom), and then possibly resign the .apk file. Wouldn't hurt to zip-align that .apk afterwards either.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Orangeandblue302:
or you could just use the de-fresh zip.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gthing:
Is there a defresh 1.1 somewhere that I'm missing, or will the old one for 1.0 still work?

edit: Don't know why I asked, since I was in the process of trying it anyway. It DID work, so I answered my own question. Thanks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kmartburrito:
I'm not sure if it's something to do with the new signal strength icon having a big red X through it when there's no signal, but it seems lately like I'm having lots of times when my Hero loses signal altogether, mainly (but not limited to) when sending or receiving texts (I know it has to send texts through 1x, so maybe I'm just noticing it now when I wasn't before.)

I'm definitely not saying there's a bug or anything at all, just wondering if anyone else has noticed anything similar?

I had a bit last night at home (around 5 minutes) where I didn't have signal AT ALL, and that's never happened to me before that I'm aware of. It seems like it is taking longer to switch from 1x to EVDO too.

Thanks for chiming in if you have any ideas!

loving the freshhhhh roms.props man.for suree...not sure if this has been asked,but a few days ago,not sure how or what happened,but the keyboard keys on my hero,i was using it,n out of nowhere it just stopped popping up the letters after i pushed them,they would type out,but not bubble up/pop up...at first it bugged me out,but i noticed it would type wayy faster,like no lag at all....i rebooted the phone n it went back to normal...just wondering if theres a way to completely remove the letters from popping up after u push them?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
The only way I've found around it is to remove that apk. So yea, it would require root to get that done.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Diplomat2387:
Hey Flipz..What do u got cooking up next.. 2.1?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] N0J:
tweaking and improving his kitchen tool and helping me get my side of his site up and running, haha!

(we're building a 'Kitchen Fixins' section for themes/addons/mods, etc..)

stay tuned! :D

Contacts Disappearing

Has anyone else had the problem of their contacts disappearing, then mysteriously reappearing? Don't know if it is a problem with the ROM or if it is user error! When it happened last, I reflashed the ROM (didnt fix), the tried to manually sync contacts again by unchecking and rechecking the contacts option under synchronization. Neither one worked, but then they randomly appeared again.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] N0J:
weird... I've nvr had a contacts problem with flipz's roms
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Diplomat2387:
Sweet...I'm gonna speak for everybody and say we appreciate you Devs contributing to making our Heros better..A lot of progress has been made seeming our phones came out in October, that's only 3 months..Keep it going..

Have you heard of it happening with others? I want to make sure it doesnt happen again...Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] N0J:
I'll check with flipz when he is back online.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
Hiding from from im right now. ;) But no, it's not a known issue or one that others are having.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] eldiablito004:
i got the icon hiding too sometimes. not a big deal just touch it again and it will come back on! :D come on guys flipz is working too hard for us with no pay, let him rest a little bit :cool:.... btw (im waiting for the 2.1 to be fully working to switch! ) ;) thanks for all the hard work devz!

Why is encryption ignored when I connect to my hero from a pc? I have wep enabled. Win 7 connects and doesn't ask for a password.

I have 2 minor issues:

My alarm won't go off and I have google in Japanese

Do anyone have these issues?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] N0J:
lol, hmm

can't say I've seen those 2 problems reported before..

as far as the alarm clock, mine has nvr acted up.

chk a box next to the alarm to enable, unchk it to disable that time, etc.

slide down when alarm goes off and it turns off until the next time it is set.

Google in Japanese: did you adjust your language setting from default during setup?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rquinn19:
If your talking about google in the browser I've seen something similar. Somewhere near the bottom of the google page theres something to either login in or change the language or something of the sorts.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] will22:
Okay, my browser issue has a twist i didn't notice before :)

When i'm in Beverly Hills, it's in Japanese.

But when i'm in for example in Hollywood, it's in English!

It's not a problem, rather a slight annoyance tho

what about when your in Chinatown?

[Hero CDMA Android Development] Saltwater Hero:
I love this Rom but I had to restore back to stock I'm not receving most of my text when using this rom...any help would be great! I would really like to put this Rom back on.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] N0J:
this would clear your personal settings, but...

did you try to do a wipe data from the recovery menu?

This will restore stock settings and clear all your cache.

I've been using fresh roms for most of the versions non-stop and don't recall ever having a txting problem. (other than with picmail and sending a 1mb pic, lol)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ItsDon:
I read your rant after I installed Fresh 1.1 and formatted my SD card to use it. Now, after reading your rant I'd like to reverse the process and not use it, is this possible?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 702DROID:
reformat your card again
[Hero CDMA Android Development] grifforama:
OK, I've been flamed down before, but I have to jump in here now.

I installed 1.1 from a stock RUU.

I spend day after day installing each of my apps to check that I had days when it didn't reboot or geek out on me.

I had the odd HTC sense reboot, but today, after uninstalling the HTC Location manager using the kitchen, I've had my phone reboot twice.

I'm not saying this ROM isn't cool. It is, but I'm wondering if anyone else has been having weird reboots as well ?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] grifforama:
And again just now trying to send a text message via handcent.

I really would like to know if anyone else is having any problems ?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thecodemonk:
I can't say I've had any problems that I can recall since updating. My path was RUU, Fresh 1.0 and then two weeks later, fresh 1.1.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dalvarez7:
One thing you can try is to go back to stock (RUU) and flash the Fresh 1.1..then slowly start adding your apps back. I've found the most of my problems were app related, not so much with the ROM itself.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ejqr5:
I haven't had any problems with anything on my Hero. I've even quit looking at the 2.0 and 2.1 threads because I'm so happy with this ROM. Keep up the good work. I will be donating soon.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sottilde:
Anyone notice that 1 2 and 3 are shunted up a few pixels on the dialer?

Otherwise a great ROM. Not a big fan of the new battery icon though - I don't see anything wrong with the old one and this one doesn't show charging progress.
