Modaco Custom kernel?

I just flashed the MCK over 1.1 and I gotta say, it's super quick. flipz, do you have any plans to make your own custom kernel or is using this one fine? I'm still pretty new to android so thanks for all your tremendous work!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Diplomat2387:
Flipz do u suggest flashing Modacos custom kernel over ur ROM as an update.zip or do u have ur own custom kernel in the works...And if u suggest flashing MCK, are there any risks with doing so?...Sorry for the noob questions..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] srkmagnus:
I have Fresh 1.1, 2.1 icons and Emerica taskbar on the phone with no problems.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] lorsoblu:
All right, I never heard back from anyone when I asked about GPS not working through Gears (the browser) in Fresh 1.1, but I can confirm that flip's removal of the HTC location service does in fact break Gears. I was investigating other ROM's and suddenly noticed that it started working again. (I can vouch for the Gumbo's)

So flip, is this just an unfortunate side effect, just like with the weather widget?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flexte:
I can confirm its not working on the Sprint hero.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Diplomat2387:
My phone just rebooted itself..Was the first time it happened on this Rom..Been running this Rom for a few months now...Has anybody flashed MCK ?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wtphoto:
I had a random reboot last night as well. I am running MCK 1.2 with it

it hasnt happened again yet, but I am testing ghbils kernel now as well.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Diplomat2387:
Which 1 would u suggest?...Or should I wait for Fresh to release 1?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wtphoto:
ghbil just released his like an hour ago so far so good but might want to wait on that just to make sure that the bugs are worked out.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Diplomat2387:
Would u suggest Modacos?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wtphoto:
actually so far I would say go with ghbils I just added setCPU to my app list as his kernel supports it and all I have to say is WOW. I mean Flipz did a great job with the speed to begin with but with this kernel and setcpu working its just flying plus the ram hack helps a lot too
[Hero CDMA Android Development] srkmagnus:
ive had a few reboots as well on random occassions. out ray most recently after installing a taskbar. I have had one our two random resets prior to the taskbar install.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Diplomat2387:
Can I just flash it over Fresh Rom as an update ?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wtphoto:
yes just boot into recovery and flash it just like you did with the rom
[Hero CDMA Android Development] adelaney:
Been awful quiet on this forum, with new releases. Flipz must be working on something dynamic. It's been a month with only an aosp build and modaco Rom. No offense to Paul, but didn't seem all that special, as far as large differences. I wonder if we will get a full 2.1 soon. I hope.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] intx:
He's working on his kitchen, not another ROM afaik.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rszimmer:
Have been running fresh for a week now. I had one random reboot yesterday. Other then that I like it. May install MCK later tday
[Hero CDMA Android Development] koricua74:
You guys looking into installing MCK may want to check out this one too http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=625940 IMHO this one seems better than the MCK but I have only been playing with it for half a day.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sirchuk:
For some reason, the majority of time that I use the Search button function at either the home screen or within the browser, I can only type a few letters, usually only 1, and that is all it will search on. The suggestion box pops up and won't go away regardless of what I type, and when I do hit "Search" it will only search for that first letter.

ie, if I search for "Android," the suggestion pops up on A... and when I hit search, it searches google for "A" and thats it.

Anyone else experience this?

I rooted and went to 1.1 without wiping first, so I don't know if thats the cause of it. I'm also experiencing a LOT of Google Voice recorder crashes. I've uninstalled and reinstalled.

I'm just leary of doing a wipe and having to reinstall everything.

I want a 1.6 or 2.1 stock rom that has everything working. I don't need sense with all the other customizable options available. I wonder if anyone is working on a 2.1 stock android rom for the Sprint Hero...

E on top bar

Over the weekend I rooted my hero and flashed Fresh 1.1. I can't be happier. The phone is so much faster and smoother with apps running much better. Even Touchdown which was my "laggiest" application is much better and doesn't crash anymore!!! Big thanks.

One question, on the top bar of the phone, I have an icon I've not seen before its the letter E with a circle around it. Sometimes the E is blue and sometimes white and sometimes the circle flashes. I searched the forum but didn't find a reference -- what is this?

Thanks again

[Hero CDMA Android Development] boosted125:
that is your evdo icon
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jonnythan:
As noted, that's your EvDO icon. It replaces the old "Ex" or "1x" icons with the animated arrows.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MillerTyme:
i have a somewhat serious issue, i flashed w/fresh 1.1 on sunday, everything seems fine except for 2 big problems, i am not recieving text messages or VMs. Not just not recieving the notifications, not recieving them at all. Should i try re-flashing the ROM? Should i wipe it and try re-flashing it?

i am trying a re-flash now, figured i dont have much to lose

that fixed my text problem

now for the voicemails, this is weird, im thinking it might actually not be ROM related, if i dial into my VM manually i have "2 new voicemails" but visual voicemail displays nothing

anyone got any ideas?

thanks

//last edit i found the send VM to activate@vvm.sprint.com trick and that seems to have worked, strange, but everything is working now so im happy.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rockcrawler:
Visual voicemail is reliant in the text messaging service. Chances are the next time that you get a VM you will get the proper notification now that you have the text messaging working. Since the 2 messages were already on the server, you will not get notification of them, but you should now get any future notifications.

Streaming Audio

My ultimate goal is to find an RSS feed reader or a podcatcher for android that is almost identical to google reader except that instead of clicking on a feed item and having it open to read, it would begin streaming (not downloading). when it is complete it would move to the next unlistened to podcast. all while being able to do other tasks. this is the basic functionality i'd like, but none of the podcatchers i've seen are able to handle this seemingly simple task.

a related issue: i have found that when you try to stream an mp3 from the internet on android, it does so in a separate flash(?) application; the same one used to play video. it seems to work ok, but it pauses automatically when the screen times out. is there a way around this or a different app that can be installed to override this one? the same thing happens during google voice message playback. it's very annoying.

i'm running Fresh 1.1. any suggestions?

Problem: Messages app icon doesn't take me to messages but last program opened

So Ive tried to search around for this problem but havent found anything...if anyone has any links to existing info, please let me know.

My problem is that the messages icon both as an icon on the homescreen and in the app drawer randomly decides to not take me to the messages app, but take me to the program that was most recently opened.

It happens very randomly and often sorts itself out for a while after a restart.

Ive ignored it for quite a while, but its starting to get on my nerves more.

If anyone has any ideas, Id appreciate it.

Thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nebenezer:
sorry if this has been covered, I just went from 1.0 to 1.1 and the Sprint Device Self Service is gone.

I happened to like it quite a lot, anyone know how to get it back? I hoped it would be in the pk2.0 ...

For those of you that want to use the Clear as Bell theme with the Fresh 1.1, be aware that it will not work. Use this instead:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=598028&highlight=clear+bell

It is a clear theme originally made for fresh 1.0 by mkeyslehman. Works fine on 1.1. You will have to install it in about 5 different zips though since they are broken up in order to allow better customization (widgets, lockscreen, notifications, keyboard, etc.).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] srkmagnus:
I need some help verifying that apps2sd is working on my phone and why two apps give errors saying, "The linked program is no longer installed on your phone". Please note, Fresh 1.1 has already been installed for quite some time.

First, I partitioned the SD card using the Recovery. It partitioned ~500mb EXT2, 1.2GB Fat32 and the rest for something else. Then to verify it worked, I checked the internal phone memory and it appeared to increase. Secondly, I used terminal and checked the SD directory and saw a list of apps installed. So, seems to be working.

However, two applications that I downloaded prior to doing the partition appear to missing. The icon shows up on the homescreen but this error comes up when I click it, "The linked program is no longer installed on your phone". When I manage applications the app shows up, but force closes every time I click it to uninstall it.

Did I do something wrong? Miss a step? If all else fails I'll just Nandroid and start over. Mainly trying to understand apps2sd a little more with regards to my problems. Thanks.

Moving / Remove icons from Sense UI screens

Didn’t see this scrolling through the comments. Just rooted and installed Fresh 1.1 without a wipe from the stock. Also installed gumbo 1.5 kernal. I am having issues long pressing and being able to remove icons from the sense UI desktop. Example would be my Evernote icon. Long press to be able to move or remove does nothing but open the program. Another would be the Google Talk Toggle Icon. Long press does not allow it to be grabbed for movement or removal. Is this the ROM or Kernal causing the issue?

Thanks for any information.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrinehart93:
Are you sure you're long-pressing long enough? Hold it until the icon enlarges and becomes pixelated.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thedudejdog:
good first post!

anyway, i've had this problem before and it was caused by swype.

are you using swype? if so, head over to that thread and grab up the new .apk its a few pages back but that solved the problems for me.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
how new is the new swipe becuase i just downloaded a newer one a week ago.

Thanks everyone for the quick responses. In fact thedudejdog I do have swype loaded up. I am not currently using it, as I found Shapewriter in the Market and like the look / feel of it a little better than Swype.

I uninstalled swype, and did a reboot. It worked! I lurk a lot and finally felt comfortable to root and mod my android phone thanks to every on this board. I knew someone would have the answer.

Thanks again

question. i dont have the newest recover on my phone..i still have 1.2.3. what the best way to push that on my phone or the correct way? i have a mac also
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wtphoto:
just like when you flashed it originaly justput the new image on the root of your sd card.navigate to sdk

adb remount
adb shell
cd /sdcard/

and then

flash_image recovery recovery-RA-heroc-1.5.2.img

wait for the # to come back up and

reboot recovery

and you should be good to go.

Just checking in to say I've loaded fresh 1.1 with ghbils kernel and everything seems to run great. The only issue I have noticed is the camera shutter sound seems to be broke!

One other thing I noticed, you cannot send MMS picture messages while using wifi. Is this a rom problem or an issue that was present on the stock heros that I never noticed?

I do not think this is the same as the sprint mms problem people were having months ago.

I am trying with handcent and the stock app. When I turn off Wifi and try to resend the message using the mobile network the mms sends fine. I turn on wifi and my MMS will not send. I do not recall this being an issue before flashing fresh 1.1 but maybe I just never sent a picture message while on wifi. Any info or help would be appreciated.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ejqr5:
MMS will not work with wi-fi on any rom from what I've heard
[Hero CDMA Android Development] robchaos:
Hmmm well that's only a minor annoyance that is well outweighed by the positives. Any chance of a fix for the mms issue? I spend most of my day in areas that have open WiFi access.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] david_ag:
I don't think it can be fixed, it is like that even with the stock Sprint ROM

(Anyone correct me if I'm wrong)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kcarpenter:
I may also be wrong here, but the issue resides with sprint. They want MMS sent thru their system directly. If you are over Wifi, it has to work its way back to Sprint. At least thats how a sprint tech explained it to me. So it will likely never work over Wifi. But, it should work with Wifi and Edge turned on at the same time. so this is what really needs to be fixed.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] robchaos:
Delete please
[Hero CDMA Android Development] robchaos:
That's what I've read too. So this seems to be a Sprint issue and not a bug with the Rom? Maybe someone could make a patch that turns WiFi off momentarily when it senses an outgoing mms.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Gh0zt718:
hey does anyone know where i can go to pull/delete htc sense cause i want to run gde but its running waaaay too slow sorry if this is the wrong thread but i figured where better than fresh thread please reply asap

as far as I know you cant completly pull sense out of a sense build I mean you could try to remove rosie.apk from system/app but I think youll just end up with a bunch of FC's. I would say try gumbo bare.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] red250:
So the other day, something on my phone FC'd. I don't remember what it was, but my question is, after I clicked close, and the phone starts reloading itself, there was a black background with "fresh" in the middle. Where is that, would make a nice, simple background.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jokerpt50:
i dont want to reinstall the htc location service but i do want to keep using the flip lcock with weather my question is how do you add a location to the list? i know with the weather widget you can pin one, but the locaiton i pined doesnt show up when i want to add the clock widget

afaik, you can't have one without the other.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Cetus Corr:
is it possible to change the look of the bar... maybe another color or another image completely? I was thinking something that looks like a bright light, if that makes sense. Just a small point of bright light in blue or green.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] srkmagnus:
I get the same problem when I use the "label" option to display Pandora on my homescreen. When I open up the app and select a radio sometimes it will FC and the fresh name will appear then the loading display as if it's rebooting. Not a big problem because it works just fine when I select the app from the menu.

How to uninstall fresh?

I want to uninstall fresh and replace my old ROM, the newest Hero CDMA one, but leave the phone rooted. How do I do it? I used the search but it returned nothing relevant to my question
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wtphoto:
well you could just restore the nandroid of the stock rom that you should have made before flashing a custom rom but since you probably didnt follow that part of the directions your only option would be to RUU then reroot

Don't assume. It's not good for you.

Rooted Orange HTC HERO.

Yes im doing a Wipe.

It's the only ROM so far i've come across that wont work =[.

Any ideas?

-Flash zip from sdcard (was thinking this one)

Just makes sure the rom is on your sd card and you will be good to go.

Text messages not being received?

First, LOVE the Fresh 1.1 + GK combination. The work that flipz and gbhil have done is nothing short of amazing. Thanks so much!

Second, I've read through almost all the pages (almost) and have seen a couple of posts regarding problems with receiving text messages. I don't think there have been any definitive solutions posted yet. When I first flashed this past Sunday (3/7), I didn't notice any problems with getting text messages or notifications. I received a couple of texts on Monday (3/8). But yesterday, I failed to receive any texts, including several sent by my wife. (Not good.) Sending works great, receiving not at all. Any suggestions?
