Went from Modaco to Fresh .5 the other night, went to .6 not too long ago, so far no problems, smooth sailing. Would be interesting to learn more about developing roms. Good job on Fresh and thanks of course!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dom2114:
google maps

so ive just RUU'd, rooted and flashed with 0.6

Everything seems to work fine, but google maps doesn't show in my list of installed apps and doesnt show up in market

any ideas?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
It comes included. Check /system/app/Maps.apk
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dom2114:
yeah, i saw that it was included...but it doesnt show up in the list of apps in market...

if any updates etc are released, they would be identified in there...

is there any way to get it to show up in market like on previous versions/previous roms?

EDIT: check that....just flashed back to Modaco 1.2 and it doesnt show either...i must be losing my mind...guess it only showed up on 1.26? I dunno...flashed so many times I cant keep track anymore...Sorry for jumping the gun and thinking it was an issue w the ROM
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jerrygon:
My google maps has never showed in the downloaded apps section on any rom I have used. Even stock...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dom2114:
when you searched for it in market and installed it, it would update and replace the stock version of google maps
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aeroterp:
I just noticed that the Voice Dialer app is now missing on my phone. Does fresh 0.6 remove that app and does if so, does anyone have the apk for it? TIA!

Is their a list of all the changes this rom makes besides what's on the front page?

It seems like somethings are missing. I've checked the FAQ page but can't find anything.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] crunchybutternut:
I just noticed that your release says it is based off of:

Base: Hero_C_Sprint_1.56.651.1_signed_release (Sprint MR Update)

I noticed that my Hero is at 1.56.651.2. Is that just a typo, or is there actually a difference?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] minorsecond:
This is great! Love the work! Do you have a way to receive donations?

I've been posting this around.. don't know how feasible it is though:

E-mail from Mike, dev of SetCPU

There is a feature in the Sprint HTC Hero's kernel that prevents SetCPU from working. It likes to constantly set the CPU speed itself, and SetCPU can't override the kernel itself. From analyzing the source, I believe this is fixable. Are you using a custom ROM? If so, try asking your ROM developer to compile a kernel without the "PERFLOCK" feature in the kernel off. Because I don't have a Hero myself to test, I can't verify that this will work.

Results/Comments

Thanks for this ROM and your continue work to make it what it has become and even still better in the future. I have now been using .6 for about 15 hours and have ZERO complaints. (And, thanks for allowing me the honor of my trivial contribution to the effort.)

I know that not everyone wishes to go to this much work but this is the process I follow each time I change ROMs.

1. Backup anything I care about.

2. Boot to Recovery and Connect PC with USB ON.

3. Clear extra files on FAT32.

4. Copy new ROM Image to FAT32.

5. Wipe EXT SD Partition (yes I use Apps2SD).

6. Nandroid Recovery to Stock just after Root.

7. Factory Reset/Wipe Data/Cache Partitions.

8. Flash new Image.

9. Boot into Main OS.

10. Basic Google/Facebook setup.

11. Push Voice Recorder and Sprint TV back to phone.

12. Basic Settings and Download/Install about 30+ Market Apps

Phone runs fast, all features I use (or have otherwise tested) work fine, and I see all the applications that I have searched for in the Market including many that I did not see from other Sprint Updated ROMs that I have tried (this includes a purchased application and several free applications that didn't show on the other updated ROMs).

Fresh 0.6 w/ Seven

Is anyone one using Seven email app with this ROM without issues? thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] swears11:
Is this supposed to fix the app problem in the market?

It doesn't seem to do anything for me. =(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] atoy74:
I responded in the other thread but I'll repeat it -

"I installed Fresh's 0.6 over my 1.56 stock install. No wipe. It took about 2hrs but the market snapped back into shape. I also did a reboot around that 2hr mark.

Dunno what triggered it but the moral of the story is I dont think you need to wipe."
[Hero CDMA Android Development] minorsecond:
Yes you do need to wipe. I did the same.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] atoy74:
Don't want to get into a back n forth with you but I'm sitting here "proof in hand" that I did not have to wipe.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hbkmat:
I would love to see a copy of this without sense and also is there a way to make it boot faster by removing the logos and videos at start-up?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] swears11:
OK, now it works!

I rebooted after a while. Didn't do a wipe.

Maybe it just takes some time.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
I would have taken Rosie (SenseUI) out but freshlyill likes it too much. ;) We'll come out with a light version that is absolute bare bones because I know that's what I'll be using. Keep your eyes peeled. The light version won't be out for a little bit though.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] katmandu421:
Nice. Haven't used sense since the second day after i saw the hero ran much smoother without it.

Keeping nav would be nice, unless you can implement the 2.0 maps hack like the magic, but I'm pretty sure it requires 1.6

wireless tether forces close on start with this rom
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thorracing1:
has anyone tryed this rom and how have you liked it? Is it fast? laggy?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
I'm using WiFi tether right now with no issues. Can anyone else confirm?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] freshlyill:
tether works for me, as well.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rontonomo:
nevermind after reboot all is well
[Hero CDMA Android Development] davidboyd:
I downloaded the ROM from my phone, then moved it to the root of the SD card. I rebooted into the recovery image and started the installation. It checked the image, formatted, started installation then stopped on line 71 with an error. I selected Reboot and it froze on the HTC screen for 10+ minutes. I pulled the battery, booted into the recovery image again and reinstalled the ModaCo 1.1 ROM.

Anyone else having trouble installing this ROM? For those who have successfully installed it, what advantages are you seeing with this ROM?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
Line 71 would be where it installs the data packages (wifi tether and spare parts). I tested extensively and had no errors at that part. Is there a chance that your download was corrupted? Of course based on how android roms work (because it's not formatting your phone) there are bound to be issues with certain phones. However the install script uses standard coding and the install of data programs is identical to how modaco's is. So that's what makes me think your download was corrupted.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] davidboyd:
I did download it straight from the phone, over 3G. I will turn on WiFi and try the download again. I am too lazy to connect the phone to my laptop to transfer the file. ;-) I will let you know how it goes after trying it again.

What should I expect to see from this ROM? Runs faster, uses less memory used, makes coffee for me???
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
I sure wish it made coffee. :D Right now you should expect it to run a little bit faster and use less memory. 8mb worth of Sprint and HTC apps have been removed saving on both internal storage memory and on RAM because those apps aren't running in the background anymore. Right now this is a very early release and is just a starting point.

I just tested something on my phone. I did a clean flash, then i installed modaco and rebooted and then installed fresh thinking maybe that's why you got an error. I didn't get any errors though. If you get an error when you try again can you tell me the exact text? Thanks.

Ok so the error is where I thought it was. Let me take a look at a couple of things and I'll push out an update. You mind if I link you to it first so that you can try it?

[Hero CDMA Android Development] Thann:
Unlocks some options not available from the stock rom. Animated menus and rotations options, as well as tracking wake-lock and battery usage.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
Yup. That's the main reason I chose to include it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pitmanr2003:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
I'm going to PM you a test build.

Question: Do you have apps2sd setup on your phone?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] omeganot:
I believe if you removed Rosie.apk and Rosie.odex you could run it without Sense UI. If you're going to do that after you've already flashed the ROM, I'd recommend turning off Sense UI first (Settings > Application > Manage Applications > Sense UI > Clear Defaults) and then press the Home button and choose the default Home app. Then pull Rosie and reboot. Might work, I'm not certain about that.

BACK UP BEFORE YOU TRY THIS!

Interesting. Must have been something funky going on with my phone. Did you come from Modaco or fresh?

Shazam, good look! I forgot about the removal of the widgets to prevent errors.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] red250:
Just thought I'd throw in my 2 cents. Just installed .6 fresh, did not have to wipe, also, installed the optimization with zipalign, so far no issues, also installed the clearall theme and it works as well, including my lock screen.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gqukyo:
Are you able to change wallpaper? I always get a force close when I try to change the wallpaper with the optimization zip.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] red250:
yeah, i actually just finished putting my wallpapers back up
[Hero CDMA Android Development] red250:
dunno if it matters, but i made sure and did a reboot after each. restored nandroid to my root, installed fresh .6, reboot, install optimization, reboot, install clearall, reboot. so far, so good.

to the dev's, thanks. my only wishlist is to keep the clearall theme working with your rom, that's that only reason i downloaded it was to get the clear lock and widgets.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gqukyo:
Well that worked for me. Installing just the optimized zip didn't. Thanks!

Yea, you can. Open your command prompt to whatever folder you have adb in and type:

adb remount

adb shell

rm -r /system/apps

Make sure and type apps and not app when deleting it!

I tried saving a background the the 'backgrounds' app, but I don't know where it went.

Any ideas? Thanks.

I had the SAME problem before I even used this rom and found the pics I saved under my camera pics. Look in that folder. If not check all your normal folders its most likely in one of them.

Could someone explain to me IN DETAIL how to get wifi tethering to work? I would LOVE to use this on my Dell netbook. And I dont even know where to begin. Ive NEVER tethered before. I tried but I just dont know what Im doing. Thx alot!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thecodemonk:
I'm using this version of Wifi tethering:

http://android-wifi-tether.googlecode.com/files/wireless_tether_1_61-pre1_htc.apk

Download and install to your phone as any normal app.

Fire it up and by default it should pop up a network in your list of wireless networks on your laptop called "G1Tether".

Connect to G1Tether

???

Profit!

(Be warned, this is just a pre/test release...you may have to cycle your Mobile Data connection after you're done to get the phone to use it's data connection properly again).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
If you are using fresh 0.6 then you don't need to worry about downloading or installing because it's already included.

Just go to your programs and open wifi tether. Click on the big wireless signal to start the tether. The ssid by default is G1Tether as thecodemonk said. You can change the ssid and add encryption and everything by clicking menu while in the program and going to the settings.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aaron130:
Ya see thats the problem, Ive NEVER used yethering, So i literally have NO CLUE how to set it up. I put it on and clicked start tethering and looked in my netbook but it wasnt finding anything. I need like a tethering for dummies step by step. LOL
[Hero CDMA Android Development] minorsecond:
Did anything pop up asking you to click "always allow" or anything like that?

It should be a black screen with four buttons.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aaron130:
No nothing. I powered on my netbook, then went to the tethering app and it says click here to tether, I clicked it and waited and nothing happened.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
Are you on fresh 0.6? With wifi tether open and "pressed" to start tether, hit your menu button and go to Show Log and tell me what has failed.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Flomotion:
regarding the wifi tethering issue, it may be on your netbook's end...

the wifi tether program creates an 'ad-hoc' network as opposed to an 'infrastructure' network.. you may have to add a profile in your wireless manager (on your laptop), or change the settings to allow connections to ad-hoc networks..

if you choose to add a network profile, go into the settings on your phone and make sure the SSID in the wifitether program matches that of the profile you're setting up...

good luck!

Anyone Else Having A Problem With Their 'Google Finance' Widget Not Working After The Phone Sleeps & Wakes Up? After I Remove The Widget & Place Back On Home Works Fine Till It Sleeps Again.

Random bluetooth issue still. None of which happened with the stock ROM + MR.

My Ford SYNC system does not reconnect when I start the car. I have to disable BT on the phone, then re-enable and then it connects.

A second issue I've noticed is the phone dialpad vibrating when dialing. Annoying and can't find a way to disable it.

I ran the Fresh rom for a few days now.. it was incredibly, incredibly slow - I don't know what gives but I did a nandroid restore and am running just the optimized rosie mods now. This phone is usable again... I was ready to throw it out the window with 5+ second lag times on everything.

Maybe it's just my phone - anyone else with this problem?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aaron130:
Hey flipz, sorry I didnt get back to you right away been busy. I did this and nothing has failed, it all has a green "done" in every column.

Same here. This ROM + the Optimized .apk files from the other post and mine screams.

I love my phone all over again.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sottilde:
I'm starting to think my slowness had something to do with my task manager. I was running TaskPanel on the ROM and since doing a Nandroid restore it's gone - I think that may have been the problem. I'm going to give it another go.

I was on .5d and flashed to .6, but my media still wont play through my bluetooth heaphones. :( i dont have to wipe amd then flash .6, do i?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] VoXHTC:
You might. I've not had any issues though. Seems that it's possible something didn't update or take quite right in your installation.

When I did mine, I flashed back to the stock rom, updated with the patch , rooted my phone, flashed the recovery , installed Fresh ROM 0.6 , installed the optimized app pack, did a nandroid back up, and I have no issues at all. Bluetooth included. I use the Motorola ROKR HD-S9 headset and it connects and plays music like a dream.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alexthearmo:
Hey VoXHTC,

I am about to flash the 0.6 ROM....is it already optimized for speed? Or do i need to install the Optimized App Pack, like you did to experience a fast ROM? If so, where do I get the Optimized App Pack, and how to I install it? Sorry for all the questions, but this is my first costum ROM. Thanks in advance!

[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
I personally probably wouldn't use it because it's still using the 1.26 apps which means any bugs that HTC fixed in the MR won't be fixed by applying that, but it will work.

Everything really was/is working very smoothly with the .6... But, this morning I also added the optimized update mentioned elsewhere in this thread and while it does not cause any known issues I DO think that it makes some things seems a faster.

Really, I think I might be about right where I am going to stay until Sprint/HTC release the 2.0 update (which I have heard is coming in January, but you know how that can be).

Keep apps

I think its great you made it easy to get rid of unnecissary apps. But the option to keep apps like peep, footprints, sprint tv, and voice dial would be nice. I did use these apps. I love this rom otherwise. My hero is as fast as i always wanted it. Keep up the good work!

I have the new sprint update/patch...then I rooted the hero...flashed itwith a recovery image... removed some bloatware apps, and now am trying to install your rom. This is my first custom rom. What am I doing wrong? Does my sd card have to be formatted in a special way or something? Can you help me please! Thanks so much!
