yeah thats a hell of a list.....TelephonyProvider.apk, contact.apk and the phone.apk i believe need to be all fromt the same rome for the dialer to work. but idk though. thats just a quick google search result. someone was porting a dialer and need all 3 of those apk. to be the same. hmm... we need someone who knows what all or at least some of these apks do

Cygwin is not being very cooperative opening these .so files.

Any other app that can be used in Windows to do this?

I may have to give up and load a Linux VM on my laptop.

Forgive my ignorance, my first delv into a phone OS.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chuckhriczko:
I tried removing apks from my hero today and noticed that only telehonyprovifer. Apk seemed to shut down data. Obviously that shuts down the signal as well so maybe our data issue, has something to do with that.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nebj00la:
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe shared objects need to be decompiled and reverse engineered. What architecture is this handset?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kcarpenter:
Pardon my ignorance still a huge noob to this Android OS and how all of its inner workings are laid out. Haven't dealt with a Linux set of software in a while. Trying now to figure out how to tare it apart. I will probably be of little use actually fixing anything till I get a bearing on this stuff. Sorry for the nuisance. ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] quietcblongs:
TelephonyProvider is present in the AOSP package, so it should be present in any Android phone. The one from the stock Sprint/HTC Hero ROM has been hacked up by HTC, so it probably won't work on a phone with Android 2.0/2.1.

From my browsing of the source code during my attemp to build and get an AOSP build working, the 2.0 TelephonyProvider does everything right, but Sprint's network is a bit "odd" (nice way of saying it) in that its MNC is 00 (or 000). It should be 120, but looking at the phone's status through CDMA Workshop, as well as the IMSI displayed through the phone itself while running Fresh's ROM, reveals this oddity.

I tried using 310000 as the MCC+MNC, but TelephonyProvider rejects this (DDMS showed the error). It also shows that it is trying to get a data connection going, but fails.

My next step is to see if I can get a data connection by using pppd. My AOSP 2.0 build can do voice and text just fine. The only thing I can think of doing with Tele. Provider is to "hack" up the source for it to allow a 00 MNC.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chuckhriczko:
You are doing a great job with your AOSP rom btw. I do like it very much. So theoretically, on Verizon this would actually work fine, correct? I say that because that means we are definitely on the right track. We are just getting in trouble because of the network, not the rom itself.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
Great work. People like you are the exact reason that I put this up here. :) toastcfh has also been making great progress on this one (2.1). But right now we are having to choose between making/receiving calls but having it so no service, or having it show Sprint but kill the phone. Ha. But really I have just been helping him out by grep'ing random things and checking stuff. He is above and beyond me on the core linux stuff.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] quietcblongs:
Thanks for the kind words guys! I kinda went "full retard" with Android after grabbing the source.

RE: AOSP on Verizon, its very possible that it would work there, since their network is being geared up for LTE, which has a gsm-based back-end network. I don't know if anyone noticed, but that is a "chat-ril" binary that is referred to in a ppp script (etc/ppp/peers/pppd-ril.options). I tried bringing those over and running it, but chat-ril must be specific to TI/OMAP RIL as it just errors out on the Hero. I'm unsure if the phone actually uses a ppp script, as even "dumb phones" does this at the Qualcomm MSM chipset level (most, CDMA phones use a Q chipset). In fact, the ppp username password are stored at the MSM chipset NV RAM, not anywhere within Android.

When I run my AOSP build, it shows signal bars, but also the triangle roaming. If you look in settings, it contradicts itself, saying roaming indicator is on, but its also not roaming. Most likely due the PRL from the MSM telling Android its not roaming, but the MNC Android has doesn't match what it sees on Sprint's network.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chuckhriczko:
Seriously. I think if anyone can get this going it's you quiet. One thing I found interesting after looking at Lox's new release last night is that in the etc folder there is a wimax folder. Now, obviously this is not a wimax phone but seeing as how wimax follows the CDMA vein over the GSM vein could there possibly be some driver or file in there that we need? I tried copying over the wlan.ko and the build.prop to his rom but it wouldnt boot and I tried copying over his etc folder and some other things but ours wouldnt boot either. I think it has to do more with my phone though because mine doesnt boot roms reliably for some reason.

Oh, wait... I never replaced the kernel in his boot.img with ours. Let me try that and see if anything happens.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chuckhriczko:
Nevermind. Still didnt boot for me
[Hero CDMA Android Development] quietcblongs:
did you specify the base when you called mkbootimg? You need to specify it this way:

mkbootimg --base 0x19200000 --kernel ...

It took me a while to find this thread:

http://android.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=294951&view=findpost&p=1111441
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chuckhriczko:
Yeah. I learned from loxs guid on the hero Dev forum. That has that info already.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wasupwithuman:
dont get mad for me asking please.

Hey anyone want to post an updated version of the rom, like the one that has texting? like can you build one that has the updated working stuff, or do you have to hack it in order for it to work.

Thanks,
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kcarpenter:
Just wondering if all the brilliant minds here could point me to something that needs to be worked on still. I don't see that a list is being kept on what progress is being made. I have finally been able to get a vm Linux box up and can grep most of the files I have played with. Not saying I can help a lot, still. Lots of learning for me.

I can only assume data is still the largest issue? That and not having a kernel worth a crap?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kidstechno:
Any way of grabbing that Power Control bar and using it on a Fresh .7 rom?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] toastcfh:
I've been just trying to get data up. Everything else that doesn't work needs to be fixed. But I figure without data the rest isn't worth having. But yeah pick something from the list and fix it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 27s:
Hey guys,

First off great work! Second, could we get a progress report? I am willing to be a tester, anyway to help.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chuckhriczko:
On top of this, many things rely on data. For instance, once data is fixed it will be feasible to fix Google Sync. Much of Android relies on the network which is why I agree that it should be our first priority. Unfortunately it's also extremely difficult.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kcarpenter:
Data is still broken and my forehead is bruised from hitting my head on my desk repeatedly. Gotta love being a noob at hacking together pieces of a rom to make a good one. :mad:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] crunchybutternut:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] kmartburrito:
Also noticed that Google Earth doesn't work on this ROM...Could this be related to OpenGL Lite?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Tikerz:
Yeah, I think it was mentioned before.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
Welhl. I was uhsleep. It was at 5 in the moring. Eye noe how tu spehell kurnall
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 27s:
@ Kmart

I am pretty sure that this ROM has 1.1 GL in the kernel...It should work. It could be that this is not a true 2.1 ROM..GoogEarth is for 2.1...Can you install it on this ROM? Maybe its becuase of the conflicting SDK ver. 6 vs 7.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kmartburrito:
Well, it's funny, it installed just fine, but when opening it, it would either go to a black screen and then right back to the home screen, or nothing at all. That's what made me think that maybe it was a deficiency in the OpenGL Library being used, but I dunno.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Leukay:
I'm pretty sure it's not the correct version of OpenGL. It is OpenGL, it's just the Lite version, so I believe that is what is inhibiting it
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kkruse:
Does anyone know what software peices are needed to make the camera work?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bron019:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] KBizzle:
No, all rom developement has ceased. Everyone is moving to Iphone.

GRRR RAWR!

That's it! I WANT AN UPDATE! I have $1.72 in my PayPal! I will send it on over for the update! xD EPIC LULZ! But for real, how is it coming. Can you give us a hint to SOMETHING?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 27s:
Guys (and gals?) Please. THIS IS A DEV THREAD. Not a "When is an update...etc, bs chatter" thread. If you have something to say to help the progress of the ROM then fine, but the thread is getting out of hand because of all of the useless bs floating around. Of 138 pages of crap on here I bet 40 are good solid information.

Thank you.

@ Toast,

I have been having a bad time with random lockups. Just straight up stops everything, and only a battery pull will reboot the phone. Adb is a no go. I could not reach you on Gtalk.

-27s
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dmc971989:
I have been having similar issues... and i cant get the phone to mount while booted up, it will only mount to the comp when in recovery mode

P.S. the only way i have been able to avoid the slow downs/lock ups is to hit "quick Boost" every few hours in a program called "memory UP"
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PRGUY85:
Based on flipz twitter account, a new version will be up today for people who have donated and later on for the rest. No camera working though:

Anyone that has donated will be getting an update to our 2.0.1 rom in 1 hour! flipz: http://geekfor.me/donate toast: http://bit.ly/cSoTTM

Just to clarify this does NOT have everything working. No camera. :-P Non-donators will still get the update, just not tonight.

http://twitter.com/flipzmod3
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrcharlesiv:
I'm really looking forward to this release!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] troyboytn:
I can tell you guys waiting that it is a very nice....very complete rom with the exception of the camara. Everything else seems to work, and work great . I am VERY impressed, however, back to stock for me until Toast gets the camara module working....and I'm sure he will in time.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rank78:
2.0.1 not 2.1, whats the difference?

and just to clarify,

everything

but the camera works or does it mean among the major features/components its only the camera not working?

finally, how long until release for non-donors?

great work guys, i'm rushing out soon so hopefully you'll get my donation in time for me to play with it tonight.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrchu001:
is MMS working now?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rustyman14:
I donated about an hour ago.. does anyone know when im going to get the update??
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrchu001:
i'm not sure.. i asked flip via his twitter that if i donate, when would i receive the update. although i think we can all agree he deserves it anyway. :]
[Hero CDMA Android Development] troyboytn:
Sorry, checked MMS and it isnt working either. I would assume this is also related to camara. Also, just clear up any confusion...Sprint VVM not included as it doesnt work on any rom that is not 1.5 based.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bron019:
hi i just donated how long will it take for the email to arrive
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Tipharet:
Hey guys running 2.0.2v1.9; I do not see setcpu in the market so I am assuming protected apps issue?

How do I remove the Htc lockscreen to use the default. I removed it earlier and got the 2.0 lock screen but it was clear?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] KyleIsTheBeast:
MNS?

Does MSN sharing work on the 2.0.2 v1.9 update?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
Re donated. Cant wait to test this. Is this still going to be lvl 6 sdk?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
Yea, this will most likely still be based on sdk level 6 until htc releases an official update

no, it is not due to the camera. I'm gunna make an educated guess and say since its a port of the leaked gsm 2.0.1 sense build, that the Mms.apk doesn't have the correct configs for our sprint heroes
[Hero CDMA Android Development] toastcfh:
yes its actually becoming a 2.0.1 hybrid but my porting of the real htc 2.1 is finally at a logcat point with the real 2.1 frameworks. but yes this rom is sdk6 but its sdk is set to 7 to allow for those rouge apps that will actually work on 6.

mms yeah actually got kinda close on that one. still a work in progress though.

vv still working on that too. im super close on that one just after this is released i can go back to spending more time deving then prepin a rom for release. anyhow soon guys and i hope everyone enjoys it
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Merckle:
Your awesome toast, hope things are coming along. Can't wait for the release

So does this mean new release soon?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] KyleIsTheBeast:
Wow. I fail. Lol I mean does MNS still work? (Mobile Network Sharing)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
Bump -- 2.0.1 version 1.9.3 released. Check page 1 for details. :)

Now back to working on the kitchen for me!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] toastcfh:
2.0.1v1.9 release

enjoy everyone. :D

did all the htc widgets get removed? :O
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dmc971989:
i still get FC's when SU permissions try to launch... so i cant run anything that requires SU permissions :(

i had the exact same issue with this rom before the update but i couldnt figure it out then either

anyone have any ideas?

P.S. I installed from a fresh wipe

Edit: also cant get the Phone to mount the USB to my computer unless im in recovery mode... had this issue before the update as well
[Hero CDMA Android Development] magicalan:
why did you guys never fixed the icons on the contacts widget looks ugly :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MotherMayI:
extremely :( and theres no peep :'(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] magicalan:
looks so simple to fix haha :p

hah thanks for the great work tho guys

is weather animations ever gonna work? just wondering hehe
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
still pretty buggy but man i missed sense. im happy with it little problems here and there no big deal.

i will be looking into the protected apps problem. that kills me. but great work.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
You didn't follow the last step in the "how to flash this rom", and it's in bold.

4. After it finishes booting for the first time, restart it at least once!

I didn't know anything about these issues. I'll look in to it.

EDIT: Actually I know neither of these are problems, and I just double checked to confirm. Wifi tether is a root only app that requires SU and it works completely fine. I also just tested estrong's root explorer and it also goes through SU just fine. And I can mount to my computer without any issues. That is why I haven't heard of any of these issues. :-P

EDIT 2: I just thought of something. You might have usb debugging turned off. That would explain these issues.

Honestly I meant to and I totally forgot.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rank78:
i was actually going tuo ask about the htc widgets too, they're gone so i thought they were excluded. i allowed the phone to reboot an extra time as listed in the instructions.

sounds like ill have to reflash. should we wipe again or just update.zip?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
I would try doing just a wipe. They are definitely there. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TheBiles:

Couple things I want to know b4 I flash. Is gmail push working? And is GPS able to get a stable lock and update consistently?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] blehzz:
+1, would love to know. just backed up and image on the sd ready to go :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] swaze:
Is apps2sd supported on this release?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jschramm:
As far as I can tell there is no push gmail.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] WhiteWidows:
:( Oh thats not good
[Hero CDMA Android Development] david279:
My gmail is pushed. But it would get flaky over time. sporadic.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kellybrf:
this is my first rom requiring a wipe. is there an easy way to get my apps/layout back or do i just have to start fresh? my understanding is that if i restore my nandroid backup it will go back to the rom i had, but correct me if im wrong here b/c im still getting the hang of this android thing ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] toastcfh:
Gps works as posted in the first post

A2sd has always been supported in this build

Market issue is unknown. Build.prop settings won't fix

Mms issnt as easy as quietcblongs aosp 2.1 fix in this rom.

Are main issue with bugs in this build are because the build is like most leaks unfinished by HTC. And lack of 2.0.1 HTC builds make patching up the frameworks hard. The Rom is beta im sorry if the build disappoints. The build on this release was mainly to clean up and optimize. And the build is far more stabl3 and faster then all previous releases of it. The build for me has always been just a testing ground for getting the basics working in 2.x. because of it being a HTC hero leak it was and is perfect for that. As it has all of the hero proprietary files for 2.x. anyhow thanx for all the support.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gabby538:
is faster then darchaster's [Rom-Dev] (3-2-10) DarchDroid v1 (Like the new Name :D) ???
[Hero CDMA Android Development] steb0ne:
I did a couple of wipes and see some of the HTC widgets...the main one I'm looking for is the HTC Music widget. Was that removed?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] WhiteWidows:
Thank you for all your efforts Toast.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Street_Knowledge:
long press on the home screens doesn seem to work for addind/removing apps, only bug i have found so far

edit: seems to work ok after selecting a different scene
[Hero CDMA Android Development] toastcfh:
HTC music was rm do to issues. I added Android 2.1 music and widget. They are better apps anyhow :P
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mroien:
Does anyone know if this has a2sd on it? Or how to start it after you install the ROM? Thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aauussttiinn88:
whats the benefits to a2sd?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] toastcfh:
What makes u think I would down his or anyone else's work. Much less compare an HTC build against aosp. Darch is a good kid and works hard to please everyone also. So for one... sayin his build is slower then mine or isn't as good. Would be me insulting him and his efforts to help. That's not me and not what xda is about. Check urself before posting dumb posts.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] swaze:
Allows you to store your apps to your SD instead of eating up the internal memory of your phone.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] swaze:
Yes its supported in this release and to start it all you have to do is make sure your SD card is partitioned correctly. When you go into the recovery there is an option to partition your SD card for app2sd. Do that and everything should work as it should.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aauussttiinn88:
does it burn out the sd card over time? not meaning to hijack
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rank78:
ok they came back after another wipe and a couple reboots. good thing i didn't finish re-adding everything i use lol.

and yes the htc music widget is there for the person who asked
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 27s:
Sigh. Please, PLEASE use the search button. There are several topics on A2SD.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aauussttiinn88:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] ElAguila:
I have not had a chance to flash this yet. Since it has OpenGL I was wondering if anybody can tell me if it is better at playing mp4's than the 1.5 based builds?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tatonka_hero:
odd...just flashed this a while ago. Wiped, flashed, rebooted, then rebooted again make sure. Spent time setting everything up, and now the screen won't even turn back on...gonna try a battery pull I guess

EDIT: Now it's froze on the pattern lock. Nothing registers....wtf?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] steb0ne:
Ahhh... I see. I just like the HTC widget b/c of the controls on the lock screen, lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ccapasso:
I know it takes a while for the first boot. Did you make sure after doing it the first time that you waited completely? Mine stayed on the screen for a while, but after letting it sit, all worked well :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tatonka_hero:
It had loaded, I had customized it to my liking, and then it shut off and wouldn't turn back on.

I pulled the battery, and it wouldn't load, period.

Did it again, and it worked, but I had screwed something up in my contacts, which I just decided to wipe and fix.

Everything's looking ok now, but the pattern lock still doesn't seem to work all that well. It doesn't follow my finger very well. I start on the first dot, then start to move to the next, and the first one comes unselected. Seems to take 2 or 3 times for it to work right...I may have to try a different lock setup with this ROM I guess.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] swaze:
I had the same issue with the lockscreen on the previous version of this ROM. I was using lockbot pro, and had to uninstall/reinstall to get it to work right.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kenfly:
MMS

if mms doesnt work, can we use like handcent sms to get them or will it just not work altogether? someone test this please :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rockage:
Ok so I'm a bit confused. I realize this rom is still under development, and it says its not to be used as a main rom because of that. Can I use it as my main rom and everytime theres an update just update ? I'm not gonna put this on there then take it off right away, it's not worth it to me.
