Java app is an updated version of java. You could remove it if you wanted. Super User is an app that automatically pops up and prompts you to allow/deny a SU (root) action. Neither program will do anything if you click on them in the program list.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kykiskly:
Can both of them be removed? I am afraid my gf takes my phone and start toying with my apps, especially that Super User app.

:)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
Removing super user will remove the warning you get when something tries to take root. It's a lot safer to leave it on.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alexthearmo:
Thanks Flipz for always being so quick to answer! I'll probably just keep them both now that I know what the apps do.

One more little piece of constructive criticism (there is not much to criticize at all :) ) is that the keyboard seems a little laggier on this rom, than on your .6 Rom. It's especially noticeable when the browser is open. The only reason I noticed, is because when I flashed your .6 ROM I was blown away by the fact that there was ZERO lag on the keyboard, even when the browser was open, it performed incredibly well. On this ROM, it's kinda laggy (especially when the browser is open) and I'm thinking it might because you had to add a separate zip file after the fact in order to get the keyboard to stop force closing....actually I have no clue why it might be laggy...but that's what a dummy like me thinks. Thanks again for all your hard work, and I'll donate again when your next Rom is released. God bless!

how can i get the HTC widgets for twitter and stocks back again?​

CDMA Hero App Re-Installer

The app installer will allow you to install the following 1.56 (Sprint MR) applications:

* Peep and widgets

* Footprints and widgets

* Sound recorder

* Sprint NFL

* Sprint Nascar

* Sprint TV and widgets

* Stocks and widgets

* Voice dialer

* IM

* Ringtone trimmer

I found the answer that is why i posted this here

One request ... speed dial can u zap out the *2 that is pre-programmed in option 2 ...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] diesel556:
I suppose my description was about as clear as mud :p.

When I say "stock pull down lock screen" I am referring to the lock screen that the Sprint Hero shipped with from HTC. When I say "updated lock screen" I am referring to the iPhone-esque lock screen that comes with your rom.

I updated my phone to .7 and the behavior still occurs. I've had some more time to play with it though, and have realized that it only happens if you wake the phone up immediately after it goes to sleep. If you wait longer than 3 seconds then you don't see both lock screens, instead you only see the iPhone-esque lock screen.

If you do wake up the phone within 3 seconds it displays the HTC lock screen followed by the iPhone-esque lock screen. The only time this is annoying is when I am reading a webpage and the device goes to sleep, as it seems to add a few seconds to the unlock process.

HTC Peep

in the next version can i get HTC Peep back in there. i really like that twitter client
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alexthearmo:
Hey Flipz, I tried to enter the script into the command prompt that you posted above in order to get the voicemail icon back. I got an error.

I'm at C:\AndroidSDK\Tools\

I type in: adb remount

it says remount succeeded...

Then I type in: rm -r /data/dalvik-cache

I hit enter and it says:'rm' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch files

Can you help me? What am I doing wrong? I'm really new to all this stuff, but it's really interesting to me. Hope you, or someone else can help me. Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kykiskly:
You know what I did, I applied the .6 FRESH on top of the .7. Then re-applied the .7 and walla, the Icons was there. This ROM is smooth
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
Yea... my fault. I left a command out. Go back to the previous post and try again. I left out "adb shell" after remount.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
Are you installing some type of add-on pack? The stock HTC pull down lock screen (the one that came with the Hero) is still the same one that Fresh rom uses. It should be a grey semi-circle with the time that you have to drag down to unlock. If you try to drag down and don't complete it successfully where the time is displayed it changes to "Screen locked" and shows you a little animation saying that you need to drag down to unlock. But it's the same screen.

If you have something else then it's something you installed.

This is a screen shot from 2.1 but it looks just like this (other than the wallpaper).

Optimizations

Did anyone apply the "Optimizations Now with Zipalign" on 0.7 Fresh yet??:rolleyes:

rooted...

Got the hero 2 days ago. First android so learning the basics. I've rooted it and removed some sprint bloat and would like to try modaco.

A couple questions if I may..

-Is it as simple as pushing the .zip to the phones sd and running it from the recovery menu?

-If I run it from reboot recovery does it install and replace the current OS?

-Can I have 2 ROMS on the sdcard at the same time, not running but ready to be loaded?

-If you run modaco from reboot recovery can you re-recovery reboot and run the original again, is it that easy?

-Is the one at the beginning of this post the latest version? This thread was started on 11/13/09 but is titled with todays date, does that mean some of the bugs from this thread have been addressed in the download in the first post?

Basically my goal was to remove sprintbloat then learn what is possible. I am confident i could restore the phone if I mess up and am not too worried about losing contacts or settings. I really like the look of the stock UI but would like to make the most of this phone and have it running as smooth as it can.

Thanks!

ps.

Followed the recovery-RA-heroc-v.1.2.3.img Rooting [GUIDE] with little trouble

[Hero CDMA Android Development] pseudoremora:
@Flipzmode

Just installed 0.6, since I felt it was more stable than 0.7. Everything looks great so far, I haven't had any problems. Though, I have noticed a couple of things.

1. My SprintTV widget no longer exists, and the application isn't in my programs menu -- I don't know if you purposely meant to leave it out, but just thought I'd let you know.

2. When you make your next ROM, could you please remove Teeter, Sprint Nav, QuickOffice, pretty much all the stupid Sprint bloatware? I've removed the few remaining apps left behind in your ROM.

Otherwise, the 0.6 ROM works beautifully, like I said, I've had no problems. Thanks again for all your hard work!

P.s. The boot screen/sound is awesome.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] VoXHTC:
Hope that helps.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] diesel556:
He posted the removed apps, including Sprint_TV.apk and Sprint_TVWidget.apk here:

http://geekfor.me/downloads/1-56-stock-apks/

If you were just mentioning it because the reference to the widget is on the home screen, but fails to load (because it was removed), I have noticed that as well.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nebenezer:
Thanks VoXHTC!!!

That was very helpful!!

I have a couple of questions regarding your answers:

-Is the one at the beginning of this thread the latest version of FRESH ROM? This thread was started on 11/13/09 but is titled with todays date, does that mean some of the bugs from this thread have been addressed in the download in the first post?

-When you say it's best to flash back to stock do you mean like original authentic Sprint stock or can it be a backup of the stock that I have tweaked (removed sprintwarez and installed the [MOD] optimizer) ?

-Also, if I install a different ROM will it clear my contacts/messages/mail/preferences?

-I'm sorry... How do I reinstall the stock ROM? I've made and copied to my PC a nandroid backup. I'm guessing I copy the nandroid file back to the sdcard but then what? If this has been explained and is right under my nose I'm sorry, I'll keep looking

Thank you so much!

So I may be retarded, but did anyone else notice multitouch zooming works in the browser now? I don't remember being able to do that before switching to fresh. Has it always worked? Or is it just a product of the MR?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] athlet1c:
do you mean the pinch feature ?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] iTouch24:
fLIPZ OR ANYONE ELSE ...

Anyone know how to remove the pre-configured spot 2 on the speed dial to call *2 ... now that device is rooted .. there has to be a way to unlock that so i can remove and put someone else in that spot :confused::confused:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fallinlove:
would U pls fix the problem of SMS function?

i came from China.

when i send text message in chinese character, the accepter will get a wrong code message that can't be read.

maybe the SMS function should use Unicode mode instead of TEXT mode

would U pls fix it?

look forward to a New Rom
[Hero CDMA Android Development] x99percent:
It always worked, unless you were on a page made specifically for a mobile browser.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] endermatic:
Thanks. Yeah I figured I was missing something.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] prattleon:
i'm confused. this is my first time installing a custom ROM. i just finished installing Fresh 0.7. the only difference i've noticed is voice dialer, and voice recorder no longer work, and it's seems a bit slower. am i missing something?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Agimax:
Just noticed on the Fresh .6 i get a forced close on process com.android.mms every time i try to create an audio message by clicking

on 'compose message-->menu-->attach-->create-->record audio'. Has anyone else got the same problem??

Is this problem also on the .7 ROM ???
[Hero CDMA Android Development] evopanop:
Flipz and Fresh, you both are awesome! This is the first custom rom I've loaded on my Hero and I LOVE it. Everything is smooth like butter, very nice. :D

I also voted on your site, and I think I'd prefer to see the boot animation. I don't really mind the extra 17 seconds it would take to boot - not a huge deal. I don't turn my phone off a whole lot anyway. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] buck2202:
Probably because they removed the sound recorder application ;)

Look at flipz' website for "removed apps" for 1.56, and put it back.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Agimax:
I Should have checked that first, my bad!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] prattleon:
ok, sorry about the ignorance. i understand where voice dialer and sound recorder went. i can reinstall them later, and i appreciate having the sprint apps removed. what other perks does Fresh ROM offer?

one thing that bugs me about android is that apps start seemingly randomly and run in the background. i use advanced task panel to close them, but it's a hassle to to that. should i not worry about them running? it does seem to slow down as they accumulate.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] iTouch24:
its not a windows phone .. let the android and its platform do its magic and handle RAM usage accordingly .. dont worry about it ...

there are many threads out there that say not even to use a task manager with android ...

http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc-hero/981-task-manager-killer-users.html#post3599

Has anyone found an application that works with taking screen shots on this Rom?

i tried sendme and drocap2 and both do not work​
[Hero CDMA Android Development] prattleon:
that's what i keep hearing, but when i do that, my phone becomes sluggish and my battery life diminishes.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] iTouch24:
i use advanced task manager ... and there is a setting for it to automatically close apps at a certain time period .. and u can exclude the ones u dont want to shutdown .. that way u dont have to be bothered

http://androidpaidapps.com/?p=117

version 3.9
[Hero CDMA Android Development] prattleon:
I don't think that guy that started that thread knows what he's talking about. he confuses internal storage space with memory, and tells people to shut down apps even though the only way to do that is with a task killer, which is what he is recommending people remove.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
I'm currently working on 2.1 stuff but can anyone else check on this? No reason that the screen shot apps shouldn't be working.

I didn't read the article but I have to say that I also say 100% to stop using a task manager. I used one for the first few weeks with my phone and also felt that it seemed like my phone would slow down and have issues. After constantly restoring my phone due to my rom work I eventually just stopped installing a task manager and I've been happy with it. When you keep closing those apps before they are ready and not in a graceful way then they get angry. :) It's the equivalent to closing an app via task manager in windows rather than clicking the X in the corner. Just an FYI that in most apps if you back out of them rather than just hitting home, they will close. As for apps that are running in the background on their own, check the settings and see if they will let you shut them off. If not try talking to the other and ask why they run all the time.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jonnythan:
Not to knock your significant and helpful efforts, but why not re-release 0.7 with the patches included?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] iTouch24:
why waste the time .. when u can install one right after other ...

the developer is using his time on bigger and better things ... 2.1 baby !!!!!!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
Because it's a lot nicer on my bandwidth to release a 4.1mb patch rather than a 90mb rom. Plus there have been nearly 400 downloads of 0.7 and I don't want them to think that there is some significant change to 0.7b and that they need it. I have confidence that they can figure out how to apply a patch until a new version of Fresh comes out. I know this is a bit of an extreme example but Microsoft doesn't release a new version of windows just because they find bugs. They fix the bugs in the easiest way possible... by releasing a patch.

I don't mean to come off as rude but seriously... I'm not going to release a whole rom just because of it. I have had 9 fresh rom releases in 20 days. I don't have any projects lined up for fresh right now while I'm working on 2.1 but I'm sure a new one will be out soon enough.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jonnythan:
It was just a question. And a more than satisfactory answer :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
:) Cool. I do appreciate the input though.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Orangeandblue302:
just flashed Fresh .07 but im just hanging at HTC screen, any ideas? thanks in advance.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
After how long?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Orangeandblue302:
its on the initial HTC screen that first comes up after reboot. It was about 5 min or so. wasnt really keeping track. I did rename the file on the SDcard update.zip, when i chose the "choose .zip" it was labled update.zip.zip could that have been why? it unpackaged fine when named update.zip.zip
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
No, that shouldn't cause it. However the newest build did remove the animations. Did you read the red + bold that I said to make sure to read before flashing? ;) I would say it was either a bad flash or you didn't wait long enough. It will appear as if it's stuck on the HTC screen. Please check post 1 or my blog where you downloaded it from.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Orangeandblue302:
yea i read about the bug but I thought the screen would just appear black because of the boot image being removed, not just stick on htc. i will reflash and try again but thanks for the info! u da man!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
Nope I didn't just remove the boot images, I actually stripped it out off the boot.img-kernel. heh. So it will just sit on the HTC screen and appear frozen. Feel free to vote on my blog on whether you like that or not. I did it by request but I knew people wouldn't like it. ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] penbralat:
I currently have the Modaco custom rom flashed to my phone but I am ready to change over to Fresh rom instead but I have a few questions:

1) Can I flash directly over the Modaco rom with Fresh rom or is this not a recommended method?

or

2) Should I flash back to the default Sprint rom first and then "update" to Fresh rom?

3) If I flash my phone back to the default rom first is this going to wipe my phone clean (default settings; new out of the box) or will everything that I've installed to date still be on the phone as it was prior to me flashing?

I know (as always) that I should first make a nandroid backup. I just want to make sure that I am doing everything right. I don't even have the latest update from Sprint as you obviously can't do that from a Modaco's custom rom without first flashing your phone back to the default image first.

Thanks for any help.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Dasuper:
noob help

Install from sdcard

E:No signature (680 files)

E: verification failed

installation aborted...

What Have I incorrectly done?:confused:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
Either your download is bad (download it again) or your SD card is failing.

I only have time to answer this very quickly so hopefully someone comes behind me. It is safe to flash it on top of modaco however if you have any weird issues that no one else is having then we are going to recommend you wipe and flash again.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] masterface:
I flashed over Modaco 1.1 and got "force close" from com.google.process.gapps. I ran

rm -r /data/dalvik-cache

rm -r /data/boot-cache

reboot

and it was fixed. I have not had any issues with it since.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Negrito:
Dont know about either of those apps, but i have been using PicMe and ShootMe with out an issue on ANY release of Fresh....

both in the market btw...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] esoteric1311:
+1 on the shootMe. Works beautifully on this rom
[Hero CDMA Android Development] asapelectric:
Great ROM, Flipz.:) Just what makes Sprint Navigation keep turning on in the background alot? I use it once in a great while, just wondering what in the world it could possibly be needing, to come on all the time for.:confused:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
I'm responding from my phone so this will be short but by default Sprint nav starts every time you receive a text. The only way I know of for me to fix it is to remove it totally.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] asapelectric:
Gotcha. Thanx !
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alexthearmo:
I noticed when I turn my phone on after the HTC boot image, I get a black screen that says "No Service" for about 5 seconds, and than the lock screen catches up to itself. Anyone else notice that? Or is it just me?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
Completely normal because the animations are removed. Nothing to worry about. Vote on the blog if you want the animations back. They were removed after many requests.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] iTouch24:
i meant to say shoot me .. not send me .. haha

i installed the app shoot me .. run it and i get the accept or reject screen.. i hit accept and then i get a black screen... it says SU Request on the top of the screen and thats it ... then after some time i get popup

sorry activity SU request (in application superuser permissions) is not responding

forceclose or wait ...

do i have to make any other command changes in order for this to work?

here are some basic noob questions

maybe i am just used to WM devices

but do u have to have debugging mode enabled and phone plugged into USB to take a screen shot?

do i have to do anything with the superuser permissions app that is on this ROM

well for the noobs out there this is pretty much what i figured out ... people said it worked so i new that something had to be done to get it took work on my device .. i wasnt really provided more info except for that it works .. so the research starts

well i wish someone told me this earlier but all u have to do it start the superuser permissions app that is on phone.. u get a black screen... back out of it then select shootme... then u get a permission notice ... basically anything that needs root access to run u have to grant permission first... select always .. and u are good .. shoot me now runs .. so hopefully this detailed info save some people some time

[Hero CDMA Android Development] Negrito:
Odd, when i open the program i get only one black screen with four white buttons on the bottom. just allow it, and the program the proceeds to load. and as a side note, the 'black screen' (which is actually the program SuperUser Permissions, or something like that, im not looking at my phone right now.) should popup when any program is requesting root privileges.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dhinez:

You are the greatest. Fresh 0.7 plus the option to have the clear theme added on is the best. Thanks to all the hard working developers on this forum. I will be donating.:D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obededom:
has anybody had an issue updating PRL/profile?

I've tried from the phone and I keep getting error 1012
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dhinez:
I did. Try to power down the phone and pulling the battery out for about a minute. Reinstall and try to update.

Worst case scenario:

You have to do a master reset which is what I did. Make sure you do a Nandroid backup on your setup or you will have to start from scratch like I did. After the phone resets, power down and pull up the RA Heroc screen and restore your phone with the Nandroid backup you've done. When you reboot, try to update your Profile/PRL. If that doesn't work, power down and pull the battery again for a least 30 seconds. It should update by then. Good luck. I was fustrated with this last night myself.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
Just checked it on mine with no errors, and it found an update. lol.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
I don't know of other apps but setcpu doesn't work on the Hero specifically because our kernel controls access to the processor and doesn't allow something else to override it. Right now our kernel still hasn't been released to us so we can't modify it to allow them to work. So I would assume that's the issue you are running in to.
