Not trying to be nasty, but SSH is nothing new, nor is it Android specific. It's also something that, if used incorrectly, can really screw things up or open yourself up security-wise.

Yes XDA is a community that assists, but at the same time doesn't hand-hold. If you check out any other board, there's a lot of information, but a lot of encouragement to research and read on your own first. And there's a LOT of info out there on SSH.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nebenezer:
Not taken as nasty at all. I know you guys are here to develop, not teach and I appreciate the opportunity to learn and get more from my mobile devices. I also realize everything I do is at my own risk so I try not to do anything I don't think I could undo (so far so good).

When I say I will learn more about ssh I just mean about what it is and where it applies, and I'm not chomping at the bit to alter my device but if understanding ssh (and other terms I'm currently unfamiliar with) will help me better understand how this device works then I'm going to do what I do and read read read. Sometimes I scratch the surface of something and realize its just too far over my head to go on but over the next couple months ssh and dropbear are a couple terms I will be researching. It took me 30 years but learning is finally fun!

Thanks everybody

First I want to say excellent ROM. But I am having a small problem. I first tried your ROM with version .7 now on 1.0. Ever since I have been unable to send email with my exchange account. I can receive them just fine but not send. They just sit in my outbox. Anyone else having this issue?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] superman.namrepus:
I love the new ROM. Thank you kindly! :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] superman.namrepus:
I had this problem before this ROM. Could not find fix for it though. I think it has something to do with exchange? Not sure though. If any one else may know that would be great.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] red250:
I'm not sure who to ask this but somewhere between running .6 fresh and .7 clears, and the 1 fresh with 1 clears, I lost a screen animation.

I was running .6 fresh with the original ratcom's clears and the other optimization pack, then when the .7 clears were made, i put that on and afterwards I had an animation where it instead of "flashing" between screens, it would "go into" the screen. After flashing the fresh 1 and the new clears, the animation is gone. But what little I know about the themes, I wouldn't think they would have any effect on the animations, that should be in the rom, correct? But it's weird that they didn't change until I put the .7 clears over the .6 fresh rom.

edit: nevermind, figured it out, transition animation speed had been turned off.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kraminc:
I apologize. Just flashed my backup and found all my emails in the outlook. Lol I never realized.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] eldiablito004:
no sound?

ok i got freshh rom on my phone...but it doesnt sound the "freshhh" boot sound, it only goes in to the boot system where everything is [ok] and then fresh room starting [wait] and no sound...does it suppose to be like this or im suppose to say [freshhh] when my phone boots up? lol...:D anyways thanks for this awesome rom..i love it...better than mcdonalds chicken sanwich!! lol...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] petermk:
I don't know if this is a bug or a 'feature' but the phone automatically unlocks itself if you press the home button.

By the time I get my phone out of my pants last night it had somehow searched near Nantucket by itself
[Hero CDMA Android Development] poorboy8u:
This threads a lot to look through, but is anyone else having trouble extracting the recovery image from the zip file? It just says error every time.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ebaDamagePlan:
Well there's the recovery image which is called "recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.1" or "recovery-RA-heroc-v1.2.3" depending on your version, which are both .img files which is what the recovery image is, and you don't extract that.

Now if you're talking about the Fresh ROM zip itself, you don't unzip that either.

You copy both of those straight to your SD card.

Now if you're talking about you boot into the recovery menu and choose flash selected .zip or whatever and it fails there, then I would suggest removing the zip that's on your phone, re download the Fresh 1.0 file (there's a link in my sig) and pushing that back to your phone either via command prompt or through usb
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 702DROID:
the recovery image is in another thread this download is just for the rom no need to extract this zip just put in root od sd card and flash (you should already have the recovery image flashed if your trying to apply this rom to your phone)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] masterface:
My phone does not do this. I know that hitting the menu button twice will unlock it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ajones7279:
It's menu, not home and it's a "feature" on all Android devices.

EVDO Issues

after I updated to the .7 ROM my phone has problems maintaining a solid EVDO link. It almost always stays on 1xRTT network mode. Anyways, I updated to 1.0 and the problem still exists. Has anyone else seen this problem? I have never had any issues with EVDO in my area, and my wifes PRE still has a solid EVDO link. Please help!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] asapelectric:
Try settings, wireless controls, mobile network settings, mode of operation, select EVDO only. Or make sure its on hybrid. Maybe that will work.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] asapelectric:
I think your referring to the Menu button being hit twice, and it has nothing to do with this ROM.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] riotkid976:
I've found that if the phone is on silent, it also muted this boot sound (awesome!)

Try rebooting with the volume way up.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] petermk:
Yeah, y'all a right wrong button...

Never had it happen before I changed roms but whoever designed it wasn't thinking a lot there were they?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tamburylar:
Anyone having MMS issues?

Using Fresh 1.0

Anyone having issues sending MMS with pictures? I've been trying to send pictures I take with my camera but when I send them they just sit there showing the "sending" icon forever and the other folks never get them. I've tried both Handscent and "My Messages". It's not the size of the picture as both apps resize the images. I checked and according to "View details" the whole message including picture is 13KB.

With Handscent(2.9.21) I just get the spinning "green circle" forever. I don't have any request delivery stuff turned on either.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] iTouch24:
i am currently still using the .7 ....

but i am reading many people are still having an issue with wifi tethering working correctly... i myself have not gotten it to work ... some people have but have not offered any additional information. I tried again to connect with my ipod touch but i dont think that would work ...

would we need to sync hero with the computer via BT or USB then activate the WiFi tethering? Does HTC sync need to be activated...

that brings me to another point... i wish we could install apps via HTC sync via BT

with my ipod tough .. it has no BT and cannot be connected to phone .. so there is no way for it to connect to internet via the hero .. correct?

I need a refresher course on the protocols of wireless ... haha
[Hero CDMA Android Development] posguy99:
Incorrect. The Touch has wifi, which is all you need.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abcdfv:
I'm using Fresh 1.0 and Wifi tethering is working fine for me. Posting from it right now.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zilesx:
Wifi tethering works fine for me, aside from one thing. When I disable the tethering, it says "your phone is in an unknown state, try to reboot" and if I don't, it drains my battery within a couple of hours.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] iTouch24:
i turned on wifi on phone and on ipod touch .. launched wifi router on hero .. get app popup .. press here to tether.. i press that then get the black screen with SU request on top and thats it .. never get the approval screen from su application
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abcdfv:
I'm using this with no issues.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] masterface:
Make sure your USB is set to debugging.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] david_ag:
My Wifi tether has worked from day one instantly after I rooted the phone. I then installed Fresh 1.0 and it still works. Only thing I can think of is for people who are having problems with tether since .7 try and get you phone back to just rooted status and install Fresh 1.0 from that point.

Sidenote: I enabled user account control (or whatever its called) and everytime a new computer wants to use the Hero tether, (the computer will connect, (but will not open any webpage), and I have to get into the user account control settings and put a check mark next to the computer I want to let use my internet. And right after I do this the internet starts working on the computer. Just throwing random thoughts... see if it helps
[Hero CDMA Android Development] posguy99:
Never having run the FreshROM, I don't know what version of Wireless Tether it ships, but if it's the same one the MoDaCo shipped (1.6pre1), you might try updating to the released v1.60 or even the 1.70beta.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abcdfv:
It ships with 1.60pre3.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] iTouch24:
Why would i need that? the phone is not connected to PC .. was trying to get online via my ipod touch
[Hero CDMA Android Development] posguy99:
Because that's what allows the Superuser Whitelist app to work.

Do you normally argue with the people telling you how to fix your problems?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] iTouch24:
No sorry

... didnt mean it like that .. was just trying to understand it more .. so now i know that everytime i try and run a program that requires rooted access i should make sure that the debugging is turned on ...

i set option on ... opened superuser ... then opened wifi tether ... got popup for su access... selected allow ... and there u go i am good...

thanks so much !

Not sure if this is Fresh 1.0 or just the Apps, but Pandora keeps force closing after one song...and the music player stutters when it switches to the next track.

Can anyone verify these things?

Flipz, can you look into it? Thanks man!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] masterface:
Anytime my friend :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abcdfv:
I feel asleep listening to Pandora last night on Fresh 1.0.

Woke up a few hours later and it was still playing. Have you tried reinstalling Pandora?

I noticed it was a bit buggy on the vanilla Hero ROM
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Moguledyouth:
Wether Widget

Anyone know why the HTC weather widget stops showing the current weather in Fresh 1.0? I had to revert back to 0.7 until this is figured out...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alexthearmo:
Nevermind....I uninstalled and then reinstalled Pandora, and now it works fine...and it seems to have fixed the stutter that I was experiencing in the music program.

:)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alexthearmo:
I've never had the weather widget update to the current weather. EVER. Even on the stock sprint ROM it wouldn't update. Anyone else have this problem?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] azfxstb:
No issues here with 1.0 de-freshed (sorry not a fan of the signal strength icon)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] swaze:
Not sure why it wouldn't update. Im currently running Fresh 1.0 and I get an update. It took some time to update when I first flashed the rom. What setting do you have it on for your location under the weather settings??

How about your world clock settings?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
Hey all. I'm back from vacation. I plan to spend my time working on getting closer to releasing a kitchen for fresh rom, but I will be reading everything I missed in this thread to see if there are any outstanding issues that people are having with v1.0.

Thanks to all who helped with responding to questions while I was gone!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abcdfv:
Anytime Flipz, the more questions can answer the more time you can spend on devoloping :cool:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alexthearmo:
1) Welcome back Flipz. Hope you had a great vacation

2) I noticed that my lockscreen stayed in the "Music Player" lockscreen mode...even after I closed the music player. This lasted till I rebooted my phone. I am running 1.0 De-freshed.

Anyone else? Try it out...see what happens. Open ur music player, play a song...and let your screen time out/phone lock, and then close your music player and check your lock screen. Does it still have the player buttons on it? All black?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] boredmug:
Videos in youtube will NOT play in high quality in fresh 1.0. Also, other websites with streaming videos will not play certain video types now. I made a post in the hero cdma section and it seems others are having this problem too. Just wanted to bring it up incase it hasn't been brought up as a possible bug with 1.0
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
Pasting this answer in a few places:

I just tested on wifi and evdo on fresh 1.0 with a "popular" video in the youtube app and it worked just fine in regular and high quality modes.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] boredmug:
maybe the issue is related to me flashing the 2.1 rom? I can't figure out why it's doing this.

EDIT: apparently people are having this issue on stock roms too.. Maybe something up with their server? I can go to the same video and it won't play then i go back and then it will play.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tatonka_hero:
Mine used to always update, but now it doesn't. I don't know if that's because of the ROM or not though, or a recent bug in the service
[Hero CDMA Android Development] adelaney:
Smooth rom, everything works perfect on mine. Glad I loaded. I have an app2sd issue, but I have had with any rom I load. Anytime I change roms, I have to wipe my ext partition, and restore apps. Not a big deal though. It only takes 2 minutes for all to re appear.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jguttz:
if i flash this rom or any other rom will i still be able to update to the new update of android when sprint releases it?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] blehzz:
yes you will be able to.

just installed fresh rom 1.0... love it... a few notes:

it takes 1:10 to get to the GUI/loading screen and 2:00 to have the phone up and functional. it seems a little slower than the stock rom on booting up but i don't feel like going back to test :)

i can tell a difference in navigating on the phone - seems faster for everything.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] calypso78:
flashed and loving it so far. great job! keep it up!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] N0J:
Mod, can u sticky this thread as well?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TaurusBullba R.I.P.:
Temporarily stickied. Enjoy! :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] prattleon:
nice work! 1.0 looks great!

is it possible to remove or turn off certain icons from the task bar? there are some that i don't want on there. they are just cluttering it up.

thanks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
I was actually planning on researching what would happen if I made the icon tiny and transparent. I had wanted to turn some off (like for example the location icon). Which ones did you have in mind?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] prattleon:
in particular i'd like to remove the location and "E" icon. maybe even the signal strength icon. it be nice to be able to quickly turn that one on and off.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
I'll look in to it and see if (a) they are removable and (b) if removing it actually even does something or if the taskbar will maintain a place holder regardless.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ELIMINATED:
I really like this rom too, but I can't watch HQ Youtube vids either. I'm sure I'm going to hear about this if it's already been posted, but here it goes. I would like to remove the image of the lock on the lock screen. Is that possible?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Penny:
Was wondering a few things.... If I wanted to go back to .7 how would I go about doing that? Have never downgraded a custom rom. Also, I didn't try 1.0 with the transparent lock screen just figured I wouldn't like it so I installed the patch. Now I am thinking I want to see if I do infact like it. Do I have to downgrade and re flash the rom to do this?

Again thanks so much for all your hard work

LOVE the Fressshhhh sound at start up.... not to crazy about the signal strength icon prefered the original but hey, I aint being picky, I am just glad to have a cool rom!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ljmeli:
Go to his flipz website (link on page one) there is a update that you can apply that will 'de-fresh' the ROM
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Penny:
Just to agree I can't watch HQ you tube videos either.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ELIMINATED:
Thanks. Now all we need is the Youtube issue fixed and it's perfect. I do have a request for Flipz. I love the Prodigal Sun theme by Manup for the G1. I can use it if I use Open Home, but that shuts down Rosie which defeats the purpose of the Hero. Is there anyway to import it along with the icon packs to use with the Hero? About all I can do is install programs and complain afterwards or I would attempt it myself. Thanks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alexthearmo:
I'm having problems with the GMAIL app. It receives mail fine, but when I send something it just gets stuck on "sending"...and never actually sends.

Anyone else have this?

Flipz, can you confirm?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] prattleon:
i've had this problem a couple times. try disabling and re-enabling your mobile connection.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Penny:
My gmail sends fine
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alexthearmo:
Awesome! It worked! Thanks so much! That was bugging me.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Penny:
can anyone tell me how to downgrade to .7 from 1.0?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] crunchybutternut:
The only way I know of is using a Nandroid backup from an earlier time to downgrade. Might be other ways, but that is what I just did to get back to 1.5 from 2.1 firmware. Worked like a charm.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Penny:
sweet! I was going to try that but wanted to make sure first. Thanks so much
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Penny:
One more question in the 1.0 version I got the transparent lock screen back but it doesn't look like the one posted. I don't see the main screen through the lock screen when locked. My original wallpaper for lock screen shows up with just a transparent lock. Is this the way it is supposed to look? From the pic posted it seems like the entire wallpaper screen was transparent with the lock.

Forgive my lack of knnowledge on these things.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
It's a known issue (I suppose I should post it lol) that if you had picked a non-stock wallpaper for your lockscreen then the clear lock isn't working. The wallpaper you're using is cache'd somewhere. I plan on fixing it but I haven't had the time to figure out where it's hiding at yet.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] crunchybutternut:
Oh man.. I just downgraded my firmware back to 1.5 from 2.1 v1.5 (Fresh 1.0)and now I am having Market issues again!

Lots of free apps are missing. I'm not sure what to do to get them back.

A few examples: Barcode Scanner, Shop Savvy, Key Ring, etc.

Any ideas?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obelisk79:
You have to do a wipe to switch between the roms. Have you tried that yet?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] crunchybutternut:
Yeah.. I did all of the wipe options RA restore 1.52 offers, including the SD options.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kraminc:
I browsed to /data/misc/locksreen/ and removed the to files there and that fixed my clear lockscreen issue.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jerrygon:
I am also having market issues after trying out 2.1 and retruning to freshes 1.0 rom. Ahhhh anybody can help??
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nebenezer:
It works! Thanks kraminic! FYI - doesn't take effect until rebooting but after that resetting a lockscreen recreates the 2 files I deleted, SWEET!!

BTW- I was using a non stock image.

Would someone please tell me how to get su access in astro? The protected folders show as empty (/data/.. I know there are files in there!). I have full access in terminal emulator but that an awful lot of typing!

Flipz, I am amazed with fresh, I'll be hitting up your donate button in the next few days.

Thanks everyone!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
That upsets me because on the very first day when people were having that issue I told them to look for that folder and they said they didn't have it. haha. Thanks for letting me know that worked for you guys.

As for astro showing /data/ as blank.... I get the same thing. I haven't figured out why. I'll probably be replacing it in the next version once I find a new file manager I like. I'm not a big fan of Linda even though it's popular.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
I haven't looked in to that so I have no idea what it would take, but I'll add it to the wish list for you. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] lonequid:
These commands (when first already connected to mobile data network) should work:

/system/bin/netsharing net on
echo 4 > /sys/devices/platform/msm_hsusb/usb_function_switch

Maybe some sort of script could be written to launch those commands?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] forty01:
Links appear to be down. Is their a mirror??? Great work and the efforts and time is much appreciated, thanks.

link is back up, thanks once again.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
freshlyill and I both checked when you posted at 1am saying it was down and it wasn't. It's hosted on my site and I have no reports of the server being down? Also there were 70 downloads during the night. But at least it's working for you now. :p
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Negrito:
Two questions...

1. I dont use App2SD, any need to update?

2. Why remove Spare Parts? Was it causing issues?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
No real need to update to 0.2 if you were already using 0.1 with no issues. I only removed spare parts to avoid data loss for the users who are using apps2sd, I just didn't have a chance to test app installs via the script so I removed them for now. No problems with it though.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Negrito:
Excellent, thank you for the quick response.

Also, is it normal to find Google Maps just running in the background for no apparent reason?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
Yes sadly that's normal.

Bump for sprint mr update.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Tipharet:
I am trying to mount to install the update and I am unable to do so. What am I doing wrong here?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
If you are using fresh rom 0.2b then that command should work. Confirmed it on 2 phones. If it's not working for you for some reason then try this:

adb shell

su

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

exit

exit

Then continue on the with the commands. But you shouldn't need to do that on fresh rom. In fact there's a good chance if the remount command doesn't work for you and you try the commands above then you are just going to get some type of permission denied error.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Tipharet:
Ill just go back stock until fresh and crew release a new ROM.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
Should have an updated rom with the new sprint update applied to it within 24 hours (hoping I'm not being too optimistic there.) :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Negrito:
Sounds good, remember measure twice, cut once. :D
