Voice dialer and sound recorder wouldn't be there unless you installed them back yourself. ;) They were removed from the rom.

If you want ringtone trimmer then you can go here to get it installed: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=589375
[Hero CDMA Android Development] asapelectric:
Yep, thats what Im talking about, fresh app installer, I installed 3 apps but I cant find ringtone trimmer. Not a biggie, just wanderin.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
Gotcha. What do you see as #10 in your list? I had accidentally created one where I had ringtone trimmer in there but I labeled it wrong. If you don't see ringtone trimmer as #10 then let me know what link you used to download it. lol. I realized the mistake before I made the app public.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] asapelectric:
It is #10 on the list
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
Ok. Seems as though we are on two different pages. lol. So you see it in the list of apps that you can install. But you installed it and it didn't show up on the phone?

I just double checked the code and everything is right. I did a test anyways just to see and you are right. It completes successfully with no errors but doesn't show after a reboot. It's even showing in the /system/app folder but just isn't getting installed properly. I'll let you know when I have a fix.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] asapelectric:
Yeah, tried it again, and nothing.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] asapelectric:
Oh, ok, not a big deal, by any means. Your work is awesome, by the way, and I appreciate it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alexthearmo:
ya...I agree, I'm not a big fan of the new blue theme. I like the sleekness of the stock theme best. I want the optimized apks and kernels, but without the blue. I'll be waiting for your next release.

btw, I'll be donating some time today. God bless! Hope you had a great thanksgiving!

[Hero CDMA Android Development] dametzg:
The Ringtone Trimmer never showed up in the App list. It's actually integrated into the stock music player. To use it, open the song you want to trim in the Music app then press Menu -> Set As Ringtone -> Trim the Ringtone
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
Good to know dametzg. Thanks! I had never actually used it so I didn't know that.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jerrygon:
???

Not a big deal at all but did your remove the fix that you applied with the last update to be able to see the protected apps in the market place now that Google has fixed the problem on there end???
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alexthearmo:
hey! I just donated. Thanks again for all your hard work! I am waiting for your next ROM with the optimized apk's and kernel, and without the theme. Looking forward to it! God bless!

-alex
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
I thought about it but was afraid to. I'll wait for 1 more release. ;)

Thank you, I appreciate it! I'll make sure to let you know as soon as the next release is out (minus the theme. ha!)

Like Fresh 0.6. Installing 0.6b as I type. How do I get app2sd 2 to work on this rom? With app2sd 2, it's suppose to partition the sd card for you but when I do it, doesn't seem to work or give me options to delete the original app in the internal memory. I formatted the card to Fat32. I'm so confused.:confused:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
To use apps2sd you need to format the card first. Go in to recovery (with the phone powered off hold the home button and then hit power) and you will see an option on the menu to format it for fat32 + swap + ext2. Then after that use the option on the menu to convert to ext3. Then Fresh will use apps2sd. Be aware that it will wipe everything on your sd card when you do that.

Also I don't really like apps2sd. I only included it because some people use it. ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dhinez:
flipzmode,

I understand that I should go into recovery mode and set the partition. I've done that, but how do you verify that app2sd is working? Should I do this before I flash my phone to .6b? From my understanding that app2sd is built into the Fresh rom. So I don't have to download "apptosd" from the market place, correct, because I found out that after I partition the sd card as described that the app2sd 2 app will give my an error and ask that I take a look at the tutorial on this forum. Thanks in advance, flipz.

Is their a way to remove the stock voicemail app?

I tried looking under /system/app but I don't see it.

When I see it open in task manager it shows up as: com.coremobility.app.vnotes
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
Yea, you won't need to download apps2sd from the market. Once you have fresh rom installed you can test if apps2sd is working by issuing the following commands to adb:

adb shell

cd /data/app

pwd

If it respond with /data/sd/app then it's working. If it responds with just /data/app then it's not working. If I totally lost you and you aren't sure what adb commands are then you have a lot more reading to do. ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dhinez:
Thanks Flipzmode for the quick response. I know what you are talking about. Can I do this from Better Terminal or do I have to access this from the pc? I will give both a try anyways.

Update:

I've done this from Better Terminal and it works. Shows /data/sd/app. Thanks again.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tyrnight:
theme

how do we undo the blue theme?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
0.6b is only available with the theme. The easiest way to remove it would be to reinstall 0.6 (not 0.6b) or just wait for the next release. I'll be taking it out again.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dhinez:
I don't think you can as of now. Give him some time. I actually like the blue theme since blue is my favorite color. I'm just enjoying how fast my phone is now.:D

Update:

It seems that if you flash this, [MOD][11/24/09] Application Optimizations Now with Zipalign, on top of Fresh 0.6b it will get rid of the blue theme. Just a tidbit.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] aaron130:
flipzmode, quick question. When ytou update these ROMs do we have to do anything besides just flash over whatever we have at the time? For example I had 0.6 with that optimization pack, Can I just install right over that and it will be just the ROM or will the optimizations still be there?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
The optimization pack replaces stock APK's so those would get replaced by flashing a new rom. However 0.6b also includes optimized APK's so there shouldn't be anything that the optimization pack doesn't offer already built in to fresh. But hold off if you don't like blue because that's the only available theme in 0.6b. It'll be back to stock + optimized.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aaron130:
Oh No!! I LOVE the blue man!! Thanks for the quick reply and GRETA job as always!! Will be donating for your awesome work when I get home tonight!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alexthearmo:
Wow...after flashing this rom, my battery life has dramatically improved. I've had the phone on for 11.5 hours (uptime 2.5 hours)...and I still have 50% of my battery left. In the past it would've been close to dead by now. I'm so pumped on this ROM!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] athlet1c:
Optimized Response , add features , rapid support and updates makes this Rom ........FRESHHHHHHHHHHHH
[Hero CDMA Android Development] VoXHTC:
You sir should produce a "Fresh ROM" commerical. That jingle could generate millions!

[Hero CDMA Android Development] Mr. Biggz:
Anyone else notice that the notifications at the bottom of the screen the background for them doesn't expand with the amount of text?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] minorsecond:
Are you talking about the blue square that shows up?

Yes
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
Yea, we noticed that. I posted about it either on here or ppcgeeks. heh. Apparently after you edit the png, dynamically expanding boxes won't change anymore. We'll get it fixed.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] BhRaElEfD:
2 questions

1) Is anyone using a Wifi and/or Bluetooth toggle app on this rom?

2) Has anyone noticed that their phone reset by itself w/ this rom? Late last night (really late 'cuz I didn't get to bed til 3am) my phone reset itself. Nothing seems to have happened, there were no messages or notifications, but I thought it was just strange to see my phone randomly rebooting for no apparent reason; something it's never done before.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aaron130:
Yes, this happened to me today. I was going to send a text and all of a sudden it just reset. I went back to 0.6 and flashed the theme on top of it. 0.6 just seems more stable to me. I dont kknow what happened either but all of a sudden drocap (screen shot app) wont work. Very weird. It was working with 0.6 but didnt with 0.6b and now that Im back to 0.6 it still wont work. no biggie though this ROM kicks major ass!!!!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] esoteric1311:
If you apply the Clear as a Bell theme, it will undo the blue, except for the dialer
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pitmanr2003:
i love the new blue theme!!! thanks alot. is there a way you can do one exactly the same but in red. that would be awesome..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alexthearmo:
hey Flipz... are the optimizations that you're doing for your next release the same ones from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=588597 ?? Or are you doing your own, or this plus your own additional optimizations? I just installed the ones from the link and they don't really make the phone that much faster (maybe a tiny bit). I'm wondering if you were just gonna use theirs, or do your own. Can't wait for your next release! (The one thing that I DO like about the optimizations from the link is that the start up animation has no sound...that way I don't scare the person next to me when I start up my phone and they hear a loud "FRESH!"). Anyway...looking forward to the next one.

-alex
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Mr. Biggz:
I'm also noticing that my phone is no longer playing my ringtone when I get call whether I use a custom one or not and when I try to change volume in the settings app I have to force close. Anyone else?

edit: Fixed it. Both of theses problems occur as a result of missing custom ringtones made by Ringdroid. Causes no ringtone to be selected in both ringtone section and notification if one is using both. Selecting a different one fixes both problems.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theresthatguy:
Umm I don't want a blue theme. Can I still download 0.6a? But those animations sound sweet, any chance I can get those without blue theme?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alexthearmo:
Nevermind...I flashed the optimizations from my post above and they actually slowed the fresh Rom down a little bit. So I flashed back to ur .6 Rom. It seems faster without. I can't wait till ur Rom comes out with its own optimizations; not someone elses. Keep up the great work!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Agimax:
ROM .6b ROCKS

I love the fast .6b ROM! The Blue Theme Rocks Too! The Only Thing I Would Change Is To Dump The Startup Animations & 'Fresh' Title Bar Graphics Because The Startup Animations From Stand Alone 'Optimized Pack' Posted Here Is Awesome! I Flashed This Over The .6b And Still Kept The Everything Else Intact! Awesome Work, Blazing Fast Modz!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
Thanks for all the feedback everyone. I have a project that I'm working on that should be done tomorrow. Then back to Fresh updates!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alexthearmo:
Ya. I agree with agimax...the start up animation from the optimizations update is really cool...especially that it is silent. That's the best part.

I was wondering....why is there any animation at all? Does it have to be there or could someone technically just skip all that and make a ROM that loads up super fast when u turn the phone on? Does anyone know if that is possible.

my phone took 2 long minutes from the time I pushed the power button till the time it was fully booted up and ready to be used. That's too long if u ask.me.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chuckhriczko:
Why does it take that long? The Gutted Rom takes less than a minute to boot up? Albeit, I havent updated it in a LONG time. Was it your first boot?

Anyway, removing the boot animation will make it maybe a few seconds faster but I even doubt that. You really dont get anything out of removing it altogether. Thats why all of us added the boot animations that we have. They are faster than stock but stll look pretty :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thecodemonk:
The animations are actually there to show you something while the phone is booting up. There was a thread a while back where we did some testing with removing the animations completely or putting shorter animations in. The animations don't affect boot time (especially since the last animation is just a looped animation while waiting for the system to be ready to display something).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alexthearmo:
Thanks for your answers, guys.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Nanan00:
Could you make a non blue rom? I just don't dig blue. I liked the gray/black look.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] azntiger:
Agreed, it feels over kill for the phone. I particularly don't like "FRESH" placed in the notification sections.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Negrito:
maybe thats another symbol/label to HIS rom. I think if you like the rom enough you will use it regardless. I am. I had my phone all set and everything, but my theme was red to match my bg. so, i changed my bg to match the blue theme, and it actually ended up tying in with my chompSMS theme so now my phone looks incredibly unique, and very unified. The best part though... is how fast and efficient my Hero has become.

thanks fresh an flipz. if you guys want you can send me the images, and i'll do them in like 15 different colors, and then you guys can color each release. lol. :p
[Hero CDMA Android Development] azntiger:
Obviously, I didn't assume he was going to place a picture of a cow there. It's feedback, he has every right to take it or leave it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] iTouch24:
i also vote for a non blue theme ... maybe just change all the selection color green that is on the default phone theme to blue ... but dont overkill the phone with blue
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Nanan00:
I just don't dig blue is all, if you saw my car and motorcycle you would see that I am a fan of Red, Silver, and Carbon Fiber.

As is my phone has a black case and a carbon fiber background...

It is his rom, he can do as he pleases, either way I am grateful that he is taking his time to do the work at all.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Negrito:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] Saltwater Hero:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] mroneeyedboh:
yeah maybe make a version with stock colors?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cmccracken:
I had the same problem until I found a post that said to check if USB debugging is on. Apparently in order for the root apps to work correctly, USB debugging has to be enabled (Menu->Settings->Applications->Development). Makes no sense to me, but that fixed it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Saltwater Hero:
Thank you so much that worked ! It's Been driving me nuts.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Tierez:
The Blue theme has stopped me from downloading .6b

I also really like the lockscreen from Gutted over the stock lock screen and didn't want to lose that from my Zipalign update over .6

I wouldn't mind seeing the lockscreen added to Fresh, as an add on, as well as the theme, and as someone said before me, if I can be provided images I wouldn't mind taking a whack at making colored/custom themes for add ons.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jerrygon:
I really hope this rom is still alive. Any word on .7?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
Still alive. :) I spent the last couple of days working on the 2.1 port but I flashed back to fresh and have been working on it. There's 1 thing I'm trying to get working before I release 0.7. I'm also waiting on freshlyill to send me a couple things that he did. Coming soon!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] diesel556:
Have you looked at the authors blog?

[Hero CDMA Android Development] 702DROID:

Thanks for the update man... Im sure .7 is gonna rock!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alexthearmo:
Hurray! Glad to hear fresh .7 is coming! What kind of goodies can we expect in this one flipz?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mroneeyedboh:
is color the only difference?

Edit: I see the theme, APKs ( a big difference? ) and Astro. With the added bouncing and optimizations.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] diesel556:
I've searched through XDA and the thread, and haven't quite figured this out yet.

I flashed the stock ruu, applied the MR, and flashed to fresh .6. Occasionally when I wake up my phone I will see the stock pull down lock screen, followed by the updated lock screen. Sometimes I have to swipe both of them one after the other (stock swipe down, then updated swipe right) to unlock the phone.

Is there a way to revert to the stock lock screen, so I can avoid this behavior? I noticed that there is an HTCLockscreen.apk under /system/apps and have seen references to the htc framework, however neither of these are in the .56 Stock app bundle on geekfor.me.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
I'm confused on what you mean by "stock pull down lock screen, followed by the updated lock screen". What do you consider stock and what do you consider updated? The "stock" as in non-HTC unlock screen isn't a swipe at all.

0.7 goodies include

- optimized boot.img (i've shaved about 15s off of boot but the trade off is no boot animations so you can't tell that it's still booting. will people like that? i'll poll and see!)

- a slew of optimized apk's

- blue theme removed

- a few other things removed to make the rom itself a bit smaller.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
Bump -- 0.7 available.

over stock, imo

It doesn't matter if I'm trying to search in the market or type a text, as soon as the keyboard tries to open, the error pops-up
[Hero CDMA Android Development] N0J:
I think every since .5d it has been safe to flash over the existing.

I've been doing it this way since then, pretty cool because you get to keep all your settings/data.

Just make sure to backup first, just in case

First I would like to say THANK YOU! I love this rom, even the blue theme is fine. Also downloaded your app installer it worked perfectly. I don't mind the longer boot time. So I think I will stick with this rom. Because it is so stable and fast enough for now. I will wait until we get eclair working.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
Don't hold your breathe waiting on eclair. ;) We are putting a lot of work in to it but even if we get it mostly working it won't ever be 100% functional until HTC gives us something.

Damn you. :-P Confirmed. Maybe this is why I shouldn't make releases at 5:30am. lol. Working on a fix. Now the question is should I make a new patch that fixes keyboard and this issue, or make a 2nd patch for this issue? Thereby making people download multiples. I think I'll do 1 patch.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jonnythan:
