@MotherMayI, Are you in Arizona?? Seems to be an issue with users in Arizona and Daylight savings time (I don't think they observe the hour in time shift?)

This Thread has people from AZ talking about it. Doesn't seem like there is a fix and Sprint and HTC won't step up and admit fault. It's apparently not the ROM's fault. Don't blame the Chef! :)

I've been using 1.2c since this morning. No problems so far. Even the BT is working for me.

If HTC would release the source code we could probably fix problems like that ourselves.

System Apps not showing up in market

Downloaded the new ROM earlier today, everything is running smooth as butter, great job. I can't seem to update system apps, for they don't even appear in the marketplace. I really want to update both Google Voice and Google Maps ... if anyone has some tips, I'd appreciate it.

Otherwise, solid. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] posguy99:
You don't update system apps by definition, they're not supposed to appear in the Marketplace. The exception is Google Maps, but that has been re-released and is only available in a 1.6 or later version now.

Google Voice is not and has never been a system application. It is not installed by default in this or any other ROM and the version you see in the Marketplace IS the latest version.

So exactly what do you think you're updating to, again?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] skola28:
Update information

I updated from the Sprint MR to MoDaCo 1.1.

I noticed that the Voice Search didn't work anymore, so I moved the apk to the correct location.

I then flashed the Custom MoDaCo 1.2c over the top of my previous ROM.

I also got a ton of force closes, which made my phone unusable.

I reflashed the backup file I created before flashing MoDaCo 1.1

Just adding this post as notes for devs. This may have been fixed by updating in a certain order to/from certain builds but I didn't have time to read through all the posts.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
Sorry for the incorrect verbiage ... guess I proved my supernoob status, I really only dived into this a few days ago. Thanks for catching it, even if it was only meant to drop sarcasm and not actually assist me with the problem.

I search in the Market for updates to Google Maps and Voice Recorder, rbut it tells me that they do not exist even when aTrackDog does. Anyone?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] posguy99:
Gods, if they'd only learn how to read at some point.

As I *told* you, Google Maps is only available in a 1.6 version now. I have no idea what aTrackDog is, but obviously it is not taking into account that YOU are running Cupcake (1.5), while what is in the Market is a Donut (1.6) application.

Voice Recorder is a system application.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ersocia:
i've actually been having the same problem with the mobile network and wifi turning themselves off after a while, and it's not a task killer problem, because the one i have installed isn't set up for automatic task killing. anybody have any other ideas on what the cause might be?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Lappie2010:
I've been using this Rom for weeks with no issues. I'm quite happy

With the response and speed. I've had very minor issues. In fact I'm using

The browser to post this. Thanks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obelisk79:
I'm working on some updates/tweaks and will actually be calling the new release 1.3 as I feel I'm making enough changes to warrant a new version number.

Some things I have on the drawing board.

-Dramatically reducing memory footprint

-Update the scripting to help simplify/reduce installation/upgrade issues

-Fix SSH password info in update screen

-Upgrade busybox

-Optimize/Zipalign all (or most) apks (the png shrink script I'm using is REALLY REALLY time consuming, I've been waiting for a single image for 20 minutes)

-Considering some minor theme adjustments (emphasis on minor)

-Adding new transition effects either by default or as an optional update.

-Considering removing some sprint bloatware with optional update to add it back

If you want to see me add/remove tweak something else let me know I'll at least give it some consideration.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] steb0ne:
Sounds nice... Can't wait to try it out.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jjjjayd13:
Optional!

Please make transition optional.

TAI

jjjjayd13:cool:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Wasney:
I would like it optional transitions, with the option to have to sprint apps. I mean, its not a big hassle to remove them again...just would save me 5 minutes :P Other then that I just like having a "new" rom every week :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obelisk79:
My apologies on the update delay, I AM working on updating this rom, I just happen to also be in the Navy and well, work consumes a lot of my time. What's left over gets divided up between chores, my wife, my son and this. given that list of priorities, this tends to remain fairly low on the list. I also had to work both saturday and sunday which didn't help this weekend.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obelisk79:
Update on progress for 1.3...

*Dramatically reducing memory footprint - Not seeing any improvements doubt will make it into this release

*Update the scripting to help simplify/reduce installation/upgrade issues - should install/upgrade for everyone pretty much without a hitch now!

*Fix SSH password info in update screen - yes this is working again

*Upgrade busybox - now using the newest build which removes color codes from the shell

*Optimize/Zipalign all (or most) apks - WIP I've reduced rosie down to 800k-ish etc... sweet lord this is VERY TEDIOUS!!!

*Considering some minor theme adjustments (emphasis on minor) - on the drawing board, won't make it into next release.

*Adding new transition effects either by default or as an optional update - cancelled

*Considering removing some sprint bloatware - going to do this expecially with flipzmode's easy to use app patcher readily available.

I am uploading a beta with current progress right now for testing. modaco 1.3 BETA
[Hero CDMA Android Development] posguy99:
Can this go over 1.2c or does it have to go over MoDaCo 1.1 or over the Sprint ROM? Is a wipe recommended?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] posguy99:
That'll be a problem for those of us without Windows boxen.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obelisk79:
No wipes should be necessary. You can upgrade from any Rom you want. If you do run into problems let me know.

For the sprint apps I'll either create a patch to add them back or release two full versions id the Rom. One with and one without. As always do a backup before flashing.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] posguy99:
Ok, testing now. Looks like this one has all the Sprint apps in it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] posguy99:
Beta results for Unofficial MoDaCo 1.3 by obelisk79

Ok, let's see:

New lockscreen (cool).

Call answer screen changed (goes with lockscreen, doesn't it?).

About msg still reads 1.2c, but *has* the reboot warning and after reboot, has the SSH password (not so cool, but then cool ^_^).

Menus have alpha/transition effects now. (hmmm, have to think about that one).

Don't see the Phone app running on boot, but the phone still makes and recieves calls, and after the first one, THEN the Phone app is running (does this matter?).

Purchased apps don't show up, and copy-protected apps don't appear in the market (bad). I have one lonely purchased-and-copy-protected app that I actually bought just so I could have something to test the signature issue with the market back when the MR first came out.

Haven't had any force-close issues yet (cool).

All in all, not bad for a beta. ^_^
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obelisk79:
Ok, thanks for the feedback. I fixed the market thing. I forgot to paste in the right fingerprint in the two build.prop files. The version will be updated in the final build

Still working on it!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] posguy99:
Ready for the next beta whenever you are. :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
Just for the sake of sharing info... are you still using the old fingerprints or have you changed it to the 1.56 fingerprint? I changed mine back to the new one with fresh 0.7 and I haven't had any people with complaints or issues about paid apps. So I'm thinking maybe it's fixed, but then posguy said he's not seeing his?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obelisk79:
Yeah, it has the old fingerprint in the prop file, I intended to update it when I changed the version number. I was tired and forgot to do that. I've updated it now and it will see the market apps. I just need to upload the file for someone to test and verify I'm not losing my mind.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
Ok cool. I just wasn't sure if you were saying you forgot to put the old one in there, or forgot to put the new one in there. Good stuff. Keep it up. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] posguy99:
Send it on over, I'll Nandroid my phone and give it a shot.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obelisk79:
I'm at work right now. I live in hawaii so my times are way off from most people. I should be home in 6-7 hours I'll upload it then.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zippy-man:
Any words on the new release? I tried to modify the build.prop myself but i cannot get the market apps to show up.

Anyway you can send me over the build.prop files that you fixed so i can push them to my phone and get market working again?

Thanks for th ROM this is my first custom rom and so far it is great if i get the market working i am set :)

Thanks,

James
[Hero CDMA Android Development] posguy99:
The *Market* always works. The issue is that without the updated fingerprint, you can't see purchased/copy-protected apps.

If the Market isn't working for you at all, you have other problems.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zippy-man:
No my market works just no protected or purchased apps.

I fixed it already anyway had to modify the build.prop file to show the correct fingerprint and version info. I then just pushed the new build.prop files to my phone and had to reboot twice and now everything works

Thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] posguy99:
Any news? Still working just fine, just need the signatures updated. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obelisk79:
I've just been a bit busy lately with work and the whole holidays thing. I actually have the whole weekend off, so I intend on releasing a finalized 1.3 version. Hopefully that actually pans out. I need a laptop to bring with me for these 24 hour shifts I do once a week, I'd get a ton of work done on the rom. I've been reminding "santa" (the wifey) that i need one!

;)

Edit: I concede, I've also been dabbling with the eclair roms seeing if I can help make any headway, they have a way to go before they're really usable though imo.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] incogneato:
To hell with Santa. Start a paypal donation account. Even unfinished this ROM is light-years ahead of the other mess on this forum. We all benefit if you get a laptop it seems.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zippy-man:
For anyone that wants to fix this here are the steps.

1. Nandroid Backup First just incase.

2. download the .prop files i uploaded. Click Here To Download

3. extract and put both of the .prop files in your android sdk tools folder

4. pull up a command prompt by going to start and typing in cmd

5. get into your android tools folder by using command

type: cd c:\android-sdk-windows\tools

next:

type: adb shell

at this point you should have a # symbol

type: su

now you will get the # symbol again

type: mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

again you will have a # symbol

type: exit

again you will have a # symbol

type: exit

now you will be back at c:/android-sdk-windows/tools>

type: adb push build.prop /system

it will read 133 KB/s (2128 bytes in 0.015s) and return to c:\android-sdk-windows\tools>

type: adb push build.prop.nopassword /system

it will read 133 KB/s (2128 bytes in 0.015s) and return to c:\android-sdk-windows\tools>

type: adb shell

you will get #

type: su

you will get # again

type: rm -R /data/data/com.android.vending/cache/*

when # comes back up

type: reboot

The phone will now reboot. Once it is fully booted turn the phone off then back on again.

market should now be working perfect.

This is what i did to hold me over till we get final 1.3 :)

[Hero CDMA Android Development] posguy99:
Except it doesn't work. Just for grins, I did it, purchased apps still don't appear.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] posguy99:

Well those build.prop files work just fine for me. If you follow those steps it should work.

I can now see all my protected apps. I pulled those files right from my tools folder after I updated them.

If your files work for you great. But I know mine is working now.

Thanks for the info tho
[Hero CDMA Android Development] posguy99:
I have a feeling what's in your phone and what you uploaded to the sharing site aren't the same. What you uploaded looks like it came in part from a FreshROM.

No worries, yours works for you, mine works for me, and we're both happy until Obelisk does what *he* needs to do.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] posguy99:
Would you consider adding the updated Wireless Tether apk to your ROM before you finalize it? And apparently there's a new busybox, too.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zippy-man:
Your right some of the setting i got from the fresh ROM. I am not a developer and just started learing how to mess with android about 5 days ago.

I am not sure why they didnt work for you. I just modified the fingerprints and now my market is back up and working great. After i rebooted twice it worked. The first time i booted it did not work.

I would try out the keys you posted but it is working so why toy with it :)

[Hero CDMA Android Development] steubing:
Can someone please post the good build.prop files? I upgraded to v1.2c just for the stupid market issue fix and still don't have a working solution on my phone.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] posguy99:
The v1.2c *has* a working Market. You have some other problem.

It's the 1.3beta that does not at this point.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] steubing:
A bit confused

I am new to custom ROMs for smart phones and have a question. What exactly do I get by using this ROM? What does it provide me that a rooted stock version does not?

Thanks,

James
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obelisk79:
most of the changes are under-the-hood and not apparent to the user. but the performance is slightly enhanced and also there has been the addition of the ability to use apps which require root permissions. Most of the changes are transparent.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] steubing:
@obelisk79 thanks for the reply. I guess I had hopes of a custom ROM that would let me use Android 1.6 or 2.0. Is that even a possibility before HTC releases it?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obelisk79:
there are a couple of threads with 2.0/2.1 builds, but since w've had to hack hardware support into the those roms, not everything is working. they are progressing nicely however. If you want functionality and reliability stick with a 1.5 rom for now until the camera and gsensor are working properly.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obelisk79:
totally off topic, but Jack Daniels and Coke it the best beverage ever... I seem to get more work done while buzzing off the stuff, but then again it could just be getting to me. LOL!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obelisk79:
and on a lighter note... version 1.3 final is released.

I expect to release my own rom based off of this one around new years to include all of your favorite features, a new sense ui theme and more.

the rom will be released under the name "Luminance"
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obelisk79:
Anyone try this out yet? I'd like to know how it's performing for everyone with the new changes.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] watzone69:
Friggin awesome man! I am downloading now.

I asked for this thread to be stickied and I hope it is. If not then I'm sure your new ROM (which I am looking forward to) thread will be.

Back in my drinking days (and there were many) I loved Jack & Coke. I drank it so much that, even now, I can get a phantom Jack taste while drinking a plain coke.:p

Thanks for the ROM bro!

[Hero CDMA Android Development] colson22:
Just installed from stock rom

I just upgraded from the stock Sprint ROM using the Amon-RA recovery console. I did not wipe the device prior to upgrade and upgrade went smooth. First boot took about 8 min to complete, but now device is running much faster. I did have the voicemail icon on my home screen, which has now been replaced by a yellow !. App still works just fine however.

Thanks for the great ROM
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bray424:
I have to ask since I don't see it listed in the new features; is the zipalign enhancement included in this release? I only recently installed 1.2c and immediately installed this patch, and the improvements over the standard modaco release have been amazing. Do I need to reinstall that patch, or is it superfluous with this release?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rustyman14:
I just updated to the 1.3v and the market and google maps isnt working is anyone else having this problem?? Basically anything that has to do with google wont work Gmail, Google Maps.. and anything having to do with sprint, Sprint TV, Sprint Navi, Self service updater etc.. Any clue???
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Mizex:
Just updated from 1.1 to 1.3, I seem to be having issues with some of the apps.

Here is a quick list of the applications that failed after the update. Overall the phone feels much faster than it did before but now I need to get the applications working again!

market (process com.android.vending)

SprintTV (process com.mobitv.client.sprinttv)

gmail (process com.google.android.gm)

Seems to be related to Google Maps (com.google.process.gapps)

Sprint Navigation (process com.telenav.app.android.sprint)

Java (process com.esmertec.android.jbed)

Also when I get a call it does not seem to be showing the facebook photos for the callers like it did before. Also the wifi status gave me an error a couple of times but I have enabled and disabled wifi a couple of times and it has not happened again.

If anyone knows of a way to get the applications working again or how to get them reinstalled it would be really appreciated.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obelisk79:
I need to look into these reported problems when I get home from work tonight. Will likely be 2 days before I can get a bugfix release out. Thank you for the reports.

Everything worked in my testing, I'm going to have to figure out what went wrong.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] posguy99:
You could always replace the two apk's with the ones from the 1.2c release.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rustyman14:
You think if maybe we wipe them first it will help??

Or would it matter if my SD card was partitioned or not cause mines not yet..

Can anyone tell me what happens one the way from a HTC ROM powed mobile to a Cyanogen ROM mobile?

I'm beginning to be a bite confused about all the terms and what happens:

Flash - got an idea that it has something to do with the guarantee.. Some kind of product code..

ROM - what is it? and what is the difference between that and Android OS?

Fast boot - what can I do here and what can't I do here? Can I flash it here?

Recovery boot - why do I need to flash it before I can enter this? An what can I do here that I can't do in Fast boot?

please tell me in plain english because I'm a newbie :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] hjjr15:
Flash: This is putting the rom on the phone. (Flashing the rom on the phone.)

Rom: Rom can be the original android os or a custom one. Just the os that runs on the phone.

Sorry, but I don't really know how to explain the rest.
