Hey sorry to hear that you continue to have problems with the ROM. Like a previous poster my route was: stock ROM> Freshhh 1.0> Freshhh 1.1. I took a look at your previous posts on XDA and you used MoDaCo 1.1 and then 1.3a you experienced some issues with the ROM. I kept reading through the forums and noticed that you were using Apps2SD. Are you still using that? Alot of the guys in the MoDaCo forum attribute the problems with 1.3a to Apps2SD. So that could be the reason you are having issue with this ROM. Read post #2 on this forum (made me not want to use Apps2SD). Reformat your SD Card or use a new one. Then return your phone to stock RUU> Freshhh 1.0> Freshhh 1.1. Then install on of your apps TO THE PHONE one by one one waiting 24 HOURS before installing a new app and see if you have any issues. I only had one random restart and that was because I applied the original icons de-fresh, I re-flashed Freshhh 1.1 and haven't had one since. Good luck with your phone.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ColdCircuitCash:
I'm going to reply to this simply because I have only had my HERO since xmas and here's what I did and have had ZERO problems.

The very first thing I did was ROOT my phone using the tutorial on this site.

The second thing I did was install MODACO 1.3...not the beta, just the reg. 1.3.

After a couple of days I decided to give FRESH a chance and installed his New Year update of 1.1. ZERO problems out of anything. I also installed FRESH'S Pre-Kitchen and have been tooting around with bootscreens etc.

The good thing about this order was that I never had to do any kind of wipe. Even when going from MODACO 1.3 to FRESH 1.1 all my apps stayed put and I have had zero FC's or strange reboots...or any other problems some of the people here are mentioning.

I hope this information helps. Not saying you have to do it in that order, but it worked FANTASTIC for me.

If you are having other problems there might be something else going on in there that only a full WIPE would fix.

Just my .02

[Hero CDMA Android Development] thecodemonk:
Wait a minute...I just realized something. After installing fresh 1.1, you uninstall the HTC location manager? I thought it was already removed as part of 1.1? Perhaps it's a bug in the kitchen that doesn't check for it already having been removed?

force close issues

Read a post somewhere about sprint hero having unique issues with a2sd. No matter what custom Rom, or method of install, I would get tons of force close issues. I narrowed it down to a2sd. Every time I would reboot, I had to wipe my ext partition then reinstall my apps. Huge pain in the rump. This thread said that it was an issue with the amount of apps. After dropping down to around 70, I was finally cure of my force close issues. Obviously, this isn't the case with all Sprint heroes, but it worked for me.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kirby Baker:
Just wanted to say hi and give props to the devs on this. Installed fresh 1.1 today, after upgrading to the newer recovery. On first reboot I got a force close on gapps.something (google related, not sure which app it was) and havent had any problems since. Really liking this ROM! Fast, clean!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ljmeli:
look before simply quoting...

I've seen this from multiple posters, but have you looked at the apps in the fresh kitchen? The amazon mp3 apk is not in there.

To the person looking for the amazon mp3 apk: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=amazon+mp3+apk

or download the fresh removed apps (http://geekfor.me/downloads/1-56-stock-apks/) the apk is also in there, but it is not in the .1b kitchen.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] laramiebates:
Trying to search through all these posts and threads has gotten quite confusing so hopefully someone has a quick answer for me and wont be mad at me for asking something that may have been covered.

fresh install of 1.1 and I would like to have the normal sense ui lockscreen, for some reason I like the graphic/big clock/look of having something to "pull down".

Halp?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] deadonarivalry:
Just set a wallpaper for your lockscreen and it'll be just like it was before flipz made it transparent. That's what I did. Works fine.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] apollooff320:
but it doesn't have the silver bar across the screen that way. He has to defresh or delock it. Here's the file or files you need http://geekfor.me/fixes/mod-de-fresh-1-0/
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gottria:
I'm jumping back to Fresh 1.0 for a day or 2. I had lagging on 1.1 when the phone would first wake up and it would lag for about 15-20 seconds then it was fine, I didn't remember that in 1.0. :confused: I wipe it then re-flashed to Fresh 1.1, let it load and then did another wipe, let it boot again and configured it. Then ran the De-fresh 1.0 and then added my stuff.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tamburylar:
Browser support for Flash

Flipz,

This is probably one of those obvious questions, but I was playing with my Fresh 1.1 (love it) and was in the browser and noticed the flash was no longer working. I know the stock browser had some pretty decent support for Flash. I'm assuming it's related to the ROM upgrade but wanted to confirm if everyone lost Flash or if I've just done something wrong?

I tried doing some searches but flash is such an over-used term I didn't have much luck.

Thanks for the great ROM.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] runsoverfrogs:
Hey, Flipz you got any info on mms sizing on sending mms?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] grifforama:
OK, day 2 of reinstalling all my apps to see which could be affecting the crashes, and I have noticed one thing.

does anyone else have issues with Google Voice Force closing after the recent update ??
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dom2114:
yes...literally just upgraded to Fresh 1.1 and noticed this....happens everytime i restart
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ebaDamagePlan:
I don't have this issue but I do have an issue where there won't be any sound on a voice mail, I have to start and stop it over and over until I get sound, I've always had this issue though
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nck4857:
My Google Voice force closes on every reboot after the update, but seems to work normally after starting it up...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thecodemonk:
I did until I rebooted the phone...no problems since.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dom2114:
google voice

ok, so ive done a small bit of playing around and am making some progress.

When I moved up to Fresh 1.1., i decided to wipe it using the RUU, re-root, and flash to 1.1. Then i downloaded all the apps, and that's when the google voice FC problems began.

It looks like this version of GV that i downloaded is newer (the setup wizard was different, and the app is called "Voice" instead of "Google Voice" in the programs list).

So I removed "voice" and adb pushed the older google voice version and have not had any force closes after rebooting.

I then went into market, searched for google voice and installed it over the older version. Rebooted, and force closes happen all over.

So Im thinking that it might be a problem between this new google voice version and fresh 1.1, but Im not clever enough to make those kind of comments really.

Hope someone can help us out.

PS. Hey there codemonk...been a while
[Hero CDMA Android Development] grifforama:
Yes, I get the same. It's definitely only on a restart.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] david_ag:
I upgraded last night to the new GV update and have had no issues at all, no FC or anything. I also don't use it to rout all calls, just for sms and occasionally routing calls. Maybe you are using it all the time or something?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dom2114:
im only using it for international calls...never had any problem doing so prior to upgrading.

i have no clue what could be causing it...very curious though
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kirby Baker:
I just was looking into Google Voice as well. I was updating my apps from the market, and there was a new Google Voice, so I applied it. Went to launch it, and it was not listed. So I went into Manage Apps, and removed it, and re-downloaded the latest version. It shows up as "Voice" just as you said. Weird! Rebooted, and got the force close of process com.google.android,apps,googlevoice. I can launch it, and it seems to work fine though. If I reboot, it force closes again.

Previous to me upgrading to the latest Google Voice (and on fresh 1.1) I got 1 FC (which I presume was Google Voice now) and I could reboot the phone (and did several times) with no more FC's.

Not sure if this info helps you or others, but figured I would share it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] riotkid976:
massive problem

I rebooted my phone for the first time since I flashed 1.1 on the 1st; and up untill now I have had no problems at all.

but upon this reboot, i noticed there was no boot animation (first clue that something bad was about to happen). I let it sit and it boots, but with just about every FC you could imagine. The signal strength has a big, red X through it.

I rebooted into recovery to try to wipe the Davlik, but it tells me to run in adb. So I do that, and nothing happens...

Flashed back to a backup of 2.1 and everything is fine...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] prattleon:
google maps navigation

is there any way to upgrade to the new version of google maps (with google maps navigation) in fresh 1.1?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dom2114:
no, fresh is still android 1.5 based.

google nav needs 1.6+
[Hero CDMA Android Development] crunchybutternut:
No, Google Navigation is only supported on Android 1.6 and up. Same for Google Goggles.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dom2114:
yeah, so i just factory reset it...went thru the google setup wizard and did nothing except install google voice. Restarted it and got the force close.

Its not a big deal for me cause Ive got the apk of the old google voice, but Im disappointed for those that run into this problem and dont know what to do.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] adelaney:
Sounds like you're having the same problem i was having. Try reducing your number of apps. I know it was my amount of apps by wiping ext, and rebooting without issue. I confirmed it in another thread in cdma hero section.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] grifforama:
could you remind me of the old version number ? I wanna see if i can google the old apk, unless you can upload it anywhere ?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dom2114:
says the build number is 0.2.8 if that helps?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] grifforama:
Ignore me. I found an old backed up version I had made.

Thanks anyway.

1) Having force closes.

2) Modaco 1.1

3) No

4) No update

1.) Nope, no app2sd

2.) Have only installed modaco 1.0, updated to 1.1 after rooting sprint factory and flashing the recovery. Installed .4 this morning at 10:30.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] QuiQNeZZ:
PM sent, be glad to help.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] lonerebel:
I was hit by the boot loop as well. Can somebody enlighten me on how to turn the phone off so that I can enter the recovery menu? I'd rather not pop the battery out unless I absolutely have to.

Thanks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] QuiQNeZZ:
That's the only way. Doesn't do harm. I've done it multiple times.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 702DROID:
alright went from modoco to sprint ruu (did the update) installed 0.4 everything worked fine but when i try and reinstall the im app it tells me it cannot be installed in this phone
[Hero CDMA Android Development] herzzreh:
No, I'm not using apps2sd.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] herzzreh:
1) Which problem were you having (force closes or boot loop)? Force closes

2) What rom where you coming from? modaco 1.1 and fresh 0.2 over modaco 1.1

3) Are you using apps2sd? No

4) Did you get OTA 1.56 update, installed the 1.56 update from the instructions i had yesterday, or don't have 1.56 yet? Update from instructions yesterday

2) For those of you getting force closes, I'm thinking you installed the update that I had posted up here yesterday. If so you might need to try doing a nandroid back to just before that update (you did one, right??). I've tried this, still the same issue.

On a side note, with fresh 0.2, I was having the same issue than I had with modaco 1.0 (was fixed in 1.1) - market downloads would stall on "Starting download..." and Google Apps would constantly lose connectivity.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] daafisch:
I redownloaded fresh 0.2b, flashed the phone. I reflashed with 0.4 and I'm still getting the force closures

One thing of note, when I check the rom version with 0.2b installed it still says fresh 0.1 core. I'm not sure if that has something to do with it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] QuiQNeZZ:
Installed the updated version from the link you sent me and now it boots up but get a bunch of force closures on startup.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
Ok thanks to the testers (tamburylar and quiqnezz) I was able to get the boot loop issue resolved, but now they are also getting force closes.

It seems as if the phone doesn't like you going straight to 1.56 without having actually received the update. But I'm not sure why because on my phone I tested 2x coming from 1.26 and it worked fine. I'm going to have to spend the day testing.

It looks like for right now the people that it's working fine for are coming from a clean restore. That's what most are saying between here and ppcgeeks at least.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gilroykilroy:
When I tried adb remount it failed for me as well. To get adb push's to work I did:

adb shell

su

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

chmod 777 /system

chmod 777 /system/app

exit

exit

When you are finished chmod them back to 755.

Aside: For those who don't know what this does and want to know what you are doing is first making those directories "world" read/writeable (thus anyone can write to them.) When you are finished you change them back to "read only" for non-root apps.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zaquaz:
Same thing. I nandroid restored, tried .2b, then .4 ... force closes still.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] scirio:
I've had my eye on fresh since the first release. I was rooted, no special ROM, but this morning I backed everything up and ran .4. I'm happy with it so far, tethering is awesome and it all installed without a hitch. The first boot took for. ever. but it was clear skies after that.

Bonus for me: I didn't realize theat the rom switch would keep all my data in tact! i backed everything up thinking I would have a barebones install but upon boot all my apps were still there, bookmarks etc. i had no idea that's how rom updates worked. So cool! Are they all like that or just fresh? this version of fresh? all update.zip? including adb method rom pushes (do those exist?)?

Question: Prior to the update I formatted my SD card with the 3 partitions: Swap, ext2 (then converted to ext3), and fat32. First post says apps2sd would be automatic (no?) and all would be moved over? Before the install my available space on the phone was 44MB, now it's still 44MB...? Is apps2sd not working. If not, that's fine, because of the warning you provided I might not go with it. i just want to know whats going on.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Stevious:
Clarification: I had the rooted stock Sprint ROM, then tried the OTA update and logically it failed. Next, installed your ROM, and so far everything looks real good! Not getting any force closes on startup.

Has anyone noticed when pushing the new HtcTwitter.apk HtcTwitter.odex com.htc.TwitterWidget.apk com.htc.TwitterWidget.odex from the zip file back to /system/app, the Peep icon is missing? By missing, I mean there is a black placeholder in place of the green bird Peep icon.

Again, awesome job and thanks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] daskip87:
0.4 running great for me!!!

I nandroid restored to original Hero Rom then rebooted to make sure it was back to stock which it was. Then rebooted into recovery and ran the new .4 .zip and everything works great except I'm missing the voice mail icon. Voice mail works fine just missing icon.

Thanks for all of the hard work.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
Alright so it's definitely sounding like going from stock to 0.4 is what works. I mean I suppose it makes sense. The 1.56 rom makes changes (although minimal) to almost every stock file. I'm still going to try and work on a fix of course, but there may not be a way around it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] daafisch:
Restored to a rooted stock rom. Flashed fresh 0.4 and everything seems fine so far, no force closures yet. Previously I was getting them almost immediately
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Spunkzz:
does your voicemail widget work? seems as if the icon is missing when i updated to 0.4. can you please confirm?

Disable startup sounds

Hi there,

Managed to get everything 100% working...really appreciate everyones hard work.

My only question is how to disable the startup sounds. That was one of the great tweaks on the Modaco ROM in my opinion.

I came across this thread that has people writing custom flashes to do it, but Im not smart enough to tailor this to Fresh.

Ignore me. I've got a backed up version of the old one.

I did notice that GV is doing something funky with the way it knows what phone to use.

I have mine and my wife's phone setup on GV, and GV asked me which phone I wanted to use on the previous install. Now it doesn't. Perhaps the way in which it knows your phone number is causing it to geek out on a modded ROM ? Anyway, I'm no techy, so what do I know :p

Can one of you Sprint users tell me if it works on stock and/or Fresh for you?

[Hero CDMA Android Development] grifforama:
there are too many things potentially going wrong with this ROM.

I don't like the way Google Voice is not playing nicely with it.

I'm getting far too many random shutdowns of sense, and I have VERY minimal apps installed.

Basically, the past 2 days, I have Exchange by Touchdown running, Facebook, Handcent and WeatherBug.

I keep getting shutdowns of Sense, and had a reboot last night.

I think I am just going to root my phone, remove HTC Location service and Sprint/HTC bloatware and leave it at that.

Real shame, as I love the new Fresh look, but I'm not comfortable with it for daily stable use.

bummer, I've never seen that many issues with Fresh ROM, still don't think it's the ROM and something else, but yeah do what ya need to do :p
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ItsDon:
Agreed. I'm quite picky about my toys and if something doesn't work it gets kicked to the curb real quick. Fresh 1.1 isn't perfect but it's darn good and certainly a keeper. Much better than stock.

That said, I kinda miss the location service on the phone. Silly as it may be I like to see the weather widget tell me what city I'm in :p Any way to get that back and if so, will there be a significant battery hit?

So, I was one of the few that liked the lock image. Can we add it back in, or get a quick tutorial on how to add our own lock screen images? My biggest problem with the all clear lock screen is that it's hard to read the clock to check the time unless the phone locks when I'm on the home screen.
