sorry if this is a really noob question, but now with all the implementation of these files to get vanilla 2.0 to be pretty much daily use ready, can these same methods be used to get 2.1 up and running?

Thanks for all the hard work devs!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] katmandu421:
Fantastic Job, devs. For those of you that are having trouble signing in as I was, here it is again in case you missed it.

http://www.buttonclicker.com/2009/12/02/googlebits-signed_v1-1/

Wipe data and apply over the AOSP rom.

Again, much thanks, this is wicked.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 702DROID:
ok been going back and forth on wether or not to try this ....let me get this straigt before i try it ....im on fresh rom 1.0 right now do i need to flash back to the ruu then apply the aosp rom then flash this googlebits and it should be good to go (as far as you guy have got it anyways) or do i need something more
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obelisk79:
you will need to WIPE, install the AOSP rom and then flash the googlebits over the AOSP.

Remember, always do a nandroid backup before wiping and flashing anything. I still consider this AOSP to be beta/buggy.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mcdroid:
just need to wipe data from recovery, then apply zip. no need to go back to ruu or anything.

edit: omg i got beat! your quick obelisk!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] emenny81:
I tried both the aosp 2.0 and dev 2.1 that is out I did find the 2.0 way faster than the 2.1 I guess its because its vanilla, Im going to try it with the google bits and see if I can use it for daily.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chuckhriczko:
I have been using this rom with the Google bits since last night and it's great but people we have more work to do. I mean, with this rom the way it is, the syncing never stops (for me at least). It kills my battery in a number of hours because the syncing is literally constant. If this happens to you shut sync off. Also it seems market apps wont download for me. Dont know why.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] boredmug:
So are you stuck in portrait mode? I noticed it said no accellerometer. sounds like it would be a pain to text and such.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] blankd3ckskat3r:
market apps download fine for me. downloaded googls maps and navigation works sweet.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 702DROID:
thanks guys
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obelisk79:
I'm working on a few things with 2.0 of my own right now. The difference between AOSP and the 2.1 releases is not just sense UI, The whole HTC application framework isn't there, ans yes you will notice a significant difference in percieved performance between the two. I haven't tried running any actual benchmarks yet between the two though.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obelisk79:
I really do spend too much time on these forums lol.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] katmandu421:
Anyone get voice search working?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] blankd3ckskat3r:
update the first post. haptic feedback works. you have to enable it thru settings then keyboard settings.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] emenny81:
I really dont miss sense the new vanilla gui is pretty good, i had complaints on the dialer gui in sense.

so far I noticed the the sync icon on the reminder doesn't go away I looked at the Accounts & sync settings looks like its trying to sync the calendar, I applied the google bits update, I've installed all my apps (notepad, movies, dolphin, linda file mgr, shazam, etc etc) and everything looks good so far.

Maps my location doesn't work with wireless network I have tried with gps.

but so far I like this build I love the performance.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] emenny81:
ok looks like background data sync is always running causing the phone to get hot and logically drains the battery.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chuckhriczko:
As I said previously this is the case. And like the poster above said it keeps trying to sync the calendar but even when I turn off the sync on everything it still stays on. I have to turn off auto-sync manually. Battery issue is gone once that is done.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] boredmug:
Just tried this out and i like it a lot. I would probably keep it as my daily rom if someone is able to get the accelerometer to work. NICE work guys!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] katmandu421:
Anyone figure out car mode or adding a facebook account? I also seem to be missing a lot of market apps. MArket fixer, maybe?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bobdude5:
so has anyone got multitouch working yet? i tried using the multitouch in the ping pong app and the dolphin browser but it doesnt work..and i can confirm that some apps dont show in the market lol..none of the barcode scanners are available
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Fadakar:
I don't even see navigation on the market. :(

Oh and 1 blowjob to the man that fixes wifi!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] boredmug:
navigation is built into google maps.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Fadakar:
Yeah I got that just as I finished posting, but even with that said, I'm missing a bunch of apps from the market, Facebook's not even there! It was and it disappeared!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] boredmug:
lol.. well to be honest most of my apps i install outside the market as apk files. Might try that method for your apps
[Hero CDMA Android Development] koolhand79:
I sure hope youre a woman. Or at least willing to spend top $$ to have this done. lmao
[Hero CDMA Android Development] quietcblongs:
@chuckhriczko

about the build ids, I'll need to take a look, as I've done way too many builds and somethings may have been switched around once too many.

The build is really a post-eclair build, with code checkins after 2.0. Its a "master" head build, specifically.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] boredmug:
lol.. i'd be willing to arrange some "oral pleasures" for someone who could get the accelerometer going. :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Fadakar:
Alright blowjob for both wifi and accelerometer let's get the ball rolling!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] katmandu421:
I think its a camera issue. I tried installing shopsavvy from a back up and it failed to install.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] BrianDigital:
Great work guys, this not a request But the nfl app will not work on this build
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chuckhriczko:
Ok. First things first. The market apps are most likely not showing correctly because of something in the build.prop. It could be the sdk version, which I tried changing but now mine wont flash right and, being sick, I dont feel like working out right now.

Second, wifi will not be fixed until we get the new kernel. Most likely this means we will need to wait until January when the Eris update comes out (assuming it is rooted by then and someone can provide us with a dump).

Third, the accelerometer has something to do with the akmdxxxx file in /system/bin. The x's stand for numbers but I can't remember them right now. The GSM AOSP build has a working accel however their akmd file doesnt have the numbers after it. I assume it's the same hardware but I remember trying to fix this before with no luck.

Fourth and most importantly, if you are offering blowjobs, please be a woman and be prepared to show a picture of yourself prior to any oral favors :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] BrianDigital:
Odd i was watching a delightful att commercial and tried to call and surf the web at the same time and could not but my girls stock hero could
[Hero CDMA Android Development] boredmug:
the surfing and talking is a GSM thing. GSM networks allow a data and voice stream and the same time. CDMA doesnt... or if it does it's at 1x
[Hero CDMA Android Development] quietcblongs:
WiFi is a lost cause because the current firmware/driver causes a kernel panic in the 2.6.27 CDMA kernel. No other one would load in this kernel either, not even a GSM 2.6.27 one due to the kernel signature. In order to compile a new wlan.ko (this is in the AOSP source), I need the source to the CDMA kernel. I tried compiling against the 2.6.27 kernel HTC posted for the Hero, but its for the gsm version, so no-go.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] BrianDigital:
But Sprint can do it, how about Owen Wilson commercial putting down Verizon and ATT
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 702DROID:
only on wifi
[Hero CDMA Android Development] phonetec:
gallery?

anyone have the Gallery signed in a zip?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] blankd3ckskat3r:
Dont know if anyone saw my last post but haptic feedback works you just have to enable it in setting NOT spare parts.

Side note: i adb pushed some stock apks.

Voicemail shows up but doesnt work

Youtube is fully functional

Htc keyboard doesnt show up under applications in settings or settings in general therefore does not work.

Htc flash player shows up in applications in setti.gs but i think you need htc stream player for it to work properly because it force closes.

Rosie does not work it doesnt show up under settings

With that being said, can someone push the stock browser along with htc stream player and flash player and post results? And can we try to get the htc keyboard working as well as visual voicemail
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bobdude5:
i just installed the apk

adb install gallery.apk

and how come no ones commenting on multitouch!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obelisk79:
baby steps, multi-touch will hopefully come with time.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] phonetec:
u have a link to the apk?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bobdude5:
here you go

http://www.buttonclicker.com/2009/12/02/googlebits-signed_v1-1/

its in the zip file
[Hero CDMA Android Development] michaelnovakjr:
Battery Issues

Anyone else having difficulty with charging on this rom? My battery wouldn't charge.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thorracing1:
no mines been working fine for 2days now
[Hero CDMA Android Development] phonetec:
i try adb installing, says install failed, older SDK..... i try adding thru appsinstaller, and get a parse error
[Hero CDMA Android Development] emenny81:
voicemail doesnt work, I'll try to push some of the apps a bit later to see if I can get it to work.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thorracing1:
phonetec i get the same error im trying to install gallery and it wont let me i tryed every way i know of just cant get it lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dchadwick:
I really wonder if this has some thing to do with it.

Any thoughts?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Orangeandblue302:
this rom is actually pretty darn reliable so far, i has to get my contacs from sdcard with the vcard but it runs fast!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tyrnight:
Very Reliable so far.. I dont use BT or WiFi. but all I did was a wipe, loaded the rom and then after an initial loadup, I installed the Googlebits.. and all is awesome.. syncs my mail and contacts and My calendar just fine.. and its VERY fast...

the only things I noticed were... no gpu acceleration in games.. and no accelerometer. and no camera..But its not biggy. I hardly use that stuff day to day.. but it works great..

I use Handcent for sms/mms

Dolphin browser..

ebuddy for IM

Im looking forward to the release of this rom in its entirety.

Keep up the good work! :)

I also noticed the Market is stripped down due to compatibility of 2.0 apps.. but thats not due to this rom.. its the nature of the different OS vers.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Orangeandblue302:
how were u able to get the market on this ROM?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tyrnight:
load the googlebits listed on page 11 by applying the zip file on your SDcard via the Recovery boot
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Orangeandblue302:
ok so after not being able to establish a data connection all day I decided to flash back to fresh 1.0. When i tried to boot into recovery i was greeted with the skater android guys and the prompt asking to wipe data. I cant boot into recovery to do my nandroid restore! :mad:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chuckhriczko:
Are you sure you entered recovery? Sounds like fastboot. How did you get there?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tyrnight:
Just to add..

it DOESNT go to sleep.. so 100% uptime issue is happening. so battery is dead in 2 hours

any way to correct this?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] BrianDigital:
Is your active sync set to automatic, if it is turn it to manual and u should be good
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chuckhriczko:
Yeah. The sync doesnt end and you cant just check off all the options. You actually have to set the syn option to off. The Hero 2.1 rom (which is what Im running atm) syncs fine with no issues so maybe we can figure out why it works fine on one and not the other. A combination of these two roms would be amazing.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] petermk:
Have they gotten data working on the 2.1 build?

btw- on the ASOP bluetooth turns on but so far I haven't gotten anything to actually pair
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cdell:
bluetooth

I've had it sync with my Motorola T505 ROKR Bluetooth in my car.

I had just wiped flashed the rom and googlebits update.

I had to go back to Fresh during the week though as it was just eating through the battery.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bron019:
how do you apply the googlebits zip
[Hero CDMA Android Development] crunchybutternut:
In Recovery with choose .zip, just like flashing a ROM
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bron019:
oooh ok thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chuckhriczko:
Yeah. Someone over there used the method posted here and data works now. The data is a little spotty but it works. In fact, on that build everything works except for accelerometer and camera. Even WiFi works over there. If you need WiFi or you like Rosie then I would say go with that one. Removing a few apps is necessary as any Hero build goes. It's my daily use rom because aosp wont flash for me anymore so I am forced to not use it :( It does feel more stable though.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bron019:
I have another problem my internet is really slow is there any way to improve it. and yess i know it is a stupid question.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Orangeandblue302:
I eventually got to recovery. Did anyone else have trouble establishing any type of data connection with this build? I couldnt sync to google or the market or anything. Otherwise it was great!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chuckhriczko:
Data is spotty. Sometimes it is flying and other times it isnt. Notice the reception bars go wacky sometimes too. Considering this RIL is not meant to function with our kernel I would say it works pretty damn well :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bron019:
i see. it is actually working a lot better out side my house if wifi was working i would be all set
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obelisk79:
I'm dabbling around with trying to compile a newer kernel too. Doubt I'll make much headway, but I'm more interested in it for the learning aspect.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chuckhriczko:
Nice. Maybe as you go along you can write up some guides on how to get started on compiling kernels? Obviously you don't have to but if you want to I think many of us would appreciate that.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] quietcblongs:
I'm going to do a Cupcake 1.6 r1.4 (not r2, because r2 specifically uses a 2.6.29 kernel) and see what happens. My previouse Eclair build had issues that need fixes from the master trunk, so I'm not going to try another Eclair build until there is a formal 2.0.1 tag/branch.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bron019:
Great can you keep us informed on your progress pliz
[Hero CDMA Android Development] toastcfh:
the way they got everything working on the gsm hero was by getting things to work on aosp 2.0 builds. but maybe if u can get some things working in 1.6 maybe we'll have a shot at all this. but u got one thing right. this ****in .27 kernel is killing us!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] quietcblongs:
a slight change of plans. as I was setting up the 1.6 build, I noticed a setting in my 2.0 build setup that probably made the camera non-functional. it basically forced the build to use a fake camera. big oops on my part. I'm also trying some different settings for wifi, so wifi maybe fixed in this build as well.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] toastcfh:
please share
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obelisk79:
I'm playing around with some kernel builds. Any settings you find in your testing please share. They may help with getting a working 2.6.29 kernel. I really have little to no programming experience, particularly on such a low level. This is as much a learning experience for me as it is an attempt to further this community.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] quietcblongs:
The wifi changes are at the build script level, in BoardConfig.mk, I added:

WIFI_DRIVER_MODULE_ARG := ""

WIFI_DRIVER_MODULE_NAME := "wlan"

WIFI_FIRMWARE_LOADER := "wlan_loader"

These were not there before, maybe because they weren't present during previous builds is why loading the wlan.ko (which happens when your turn on wifi) causes a kernel panic.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] michaelnovakjr:
When do you expect to make a 1.6 build available?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] emenny81:
I just installed the hero 2.1 v1.5 that was recently updated, looks like there's a lot more things being done to that rom instead of this one, but I installed it and wiped it right away its too slow for me, I love this one way better, I even tried to go back to fresh 1.0 but I just love vanilla.

HOW CAN I HELP.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] quietcblongs:
Well, flashed my new 2.0+ build and wifi is working. Also, I turned off calendar sync and the sync indicator does go off this time. I'm not sure if its really stopped syncing, but it looks like it.

I'm going to take a look at BT before I upload this build. Hang tight folks.

As for 1.6, I'm a bit torn whether to go forward...

Possible pros:

1. Accel/Orientation sensor has a better chance of working

2. Ditto the camera, mainly because I think the chance of the camera working in 2.0 without new HTC binaries is pretty slim at this point. Taking out the build setting for the fake camera that is supposed to be used for sim/emu builds didn't help.

3. 1.6 (before r2) is suppose to use a 2.6.27 kernel, so it should be more stable with our one and only kernel

Possible cons:

1. My educated guess is that the libhtc_ril from 1.5 will not work in 1.6, mainly because 1.6 has built-in CDMA support, and the 1.5 htc_ril is hacked up to work with the gsm only 1.5 base. I don't know if the 2.1 htc_ril we've been using will work in 1.6.

2. BT may or may not work, again, I'm using stuff from the leaked 2.1 ROM to have BT working

I think I will go ahead and build a 1.6. I'm fairly certain I can get one that boots. Its the stuff above that gives me headaches.

One that might help would be the libhtc_ril from HTC Android 1.6 based ROMs. If some can pull those, that can be helpful when I have a 1.6 ROM going.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obelisk79:
hell, I've had too much to drink right now, so not much on the development front will come from me tonight, however if I manage to compile a functioning 2.6.29 kernel in the next week or two I'd be more than happy to do the same for 2.6.27.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wasupwithuman:
do it!!!! :) :) :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] doubljdog:
would you need htc_ril for a stock 1.6 android or just if you wanted rosie?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] quietcblongs:
nevermind about the libhtc_ril request, its in the "ION" ROM that Google/HTC distributes, and it doesn't work on the CDMA Hero anyway.

1.6 is a disaster so far, system_server crashes upon start, and I don't really know how/what will fix it. It seems like its crashing on something graphics related, but I've tried a few things that might fix it, and none have worked (mainly using different versions of libhgl.so to build/run).

I've got some leads on perhaps getting the accel/compass going from toast, will take a look at that next.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] clipcarl:
Did anyone figure how to install Gallery.apk with this ROM? When I try using adb it says:

Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_OLDER_SDK]
​

Is there an alternative in the Market? Without this I can't attach pictures to MMS messages!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] katmandu421:
I can confirm that the gallery apk found here http://www.buttonclicker.com/2009/12/02/googlebits-signed_v1-1/ works with 2.1. I jsut did a regular install from sd after extracting the .zip, no adb or anything. For an MMS workaroudn you might try handcent.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] clipcarl:
It doesn't help that it works with 2.1. This thread is about 2.0 AOSP and it doesn't work with that!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 2.0t03speed:
i cant wait till more development happens with this rom. This is by far my favorite rom out right now. Thanks for all your work so far!!!!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dchadwick:
I love this rom as well. Its simple and Clean thats what matters the most!

I also loved it so much I figured out how these things are built and ported the AOSP 2.0.1 over for my personal use because I was tired of trying to figure out what was up with the Sync issues with the google bits.

This is just a direct port that includes all the brilliance found by the (Much more smarter then I) Devs in this thread. I don't want to detract from progress on this but if anyone would like a copy PM me or tell me you want a thread and I will post or give you a link to download. Here is a quick link to my blog about it. http://www.saffirecorp.com/?p=65
[Hero CDMA Android Development] magicalan:
can anybody take screenshots?????? :P

of the dialer :o
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dchadwick:
Better yet, I am happy to give these awesome dev's anything they want from my update.zip
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dchadwick:
Here you go. =)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] magicalan:
i wanna try it just to put a skin on that @_@ lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] quietcblongs:
first post updated. summary, camera does not look good. may have a way to get accel/orientation to work.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] clipcarl:
Agreed. This ROM is great. I can't wait for them to get a newer kernel so everything will by fully functional in a vanilla Android build like this one.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 2.0t03speed:
any headway on the google syncing issue?again thank you for all you've done with this rom its much appriciated.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] emenny81:
Agreed, I've tried the mods on 2.1 but it just doesn't work right.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] quietcblongs:
I got the sensors going with the 1.5 sensors.heroc.so, I had to pull these files from the early March 2009 cupcake commits and rebuild:

frameworks/base/core/java/android/hardware/SensorManager.java

frameworks/base/core/java/android/hardware/ISensorService.aidl

frameworks/base/core/jni/android_hardware_SensorManager.cpp

hardware/libhardware/include/hardware/sensors.h

frameworks/base/services/java/com/android/server/SensorService.java

frameworks/base/services/jni/com_android_server_SensorService.cpp

Edit the preloaded-classes file in frameworks/base and comment out the line for android.hardware.SensorManager$1.

I think this is a good point to do another upload, so this one will have wifi and sensors (accel/orientation/magnetic) working. I will update first post when I have the build up.

Coming from 2.1 it looks like you should wipe data. Doing that now, but first boot looked very promising, handcent rotated right around!
