o yea how would you go about updating your prl on this version can you even do it
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bobdude5:
Ya thats happening to me too

also another bug..this rom can not render any 3d games for the life it (Speed forge, labyrinth in 3d mode (2dworks fine), quake, toonwarz, raging thunder etc) ..are there no 3d drivers in this rom? they were all working in the Vanilla Eclair and the donut...

i cant remember if they were working in the previous version of this rom
[Hero CDMA Android Development] toastcfh:
good point. ill look into it. try a previous biuld an pm me ur results. i mayhave changed something. thanx

:D

aosp keyboard

Hey guys, very nice job with this rom, works very great. i just have a quick question, is there a way to get the aosp keyboard onto here? and if so how?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bobdude5:
thanks man :D..

all the games are acting the same way they did back when i had my mytouch3g and developers over there modified the kernel to increase the ram 10mb...i doubt it has anything to do with that since there was no 10mb hack done to the kernel but just giving an example if you ever had the mytouch lol

[Hero CDMA Android Development] will22:
When I dial voicemail, my Sprint hero is dialing virgin mobile - I can't access my messages

Is there a way to clear notifications without actually opening an email, etc?

Also, can I keep sprint navigation and voicemail widget?

Thank you!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tyrnight:
I re-flashed.. and the gmail still doesn't bring in email until I hit refresh..

Is there a place to update the frequency? or is it a push method from google..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Darth Pooh:
Yeah, I'll be feeding Phil more and more stuff as things progress, next up is a spot light on flipz latest Fresh with the 2.1 Sense UI. I figure this stuff needs good exposure.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] asapelectric:
Is there any way around the no LED lights on the hardware keys. I re-flashed, just wondering if anybody else has that too, or if there is fix? Thanx a million for your hard work, devs.:confused:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] toastcfh:
Um in e-mail settings maybe? Also if u go to the email app it auto updates. Atleast this is how it works on my phone. But I've been getting notifications every 15 minutes
[Hero CDMA Android Development] toastcfh:
Yeah the 3d hardware acceleration isn't working I just went through and did some testing. Anyhow ill look into it. Thanx for the suggestion. I need to get it fixed because it can effect performance across everything. Anyhow thanx guys
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 27s:
As far as the voicemail issue, you need to go into settings and call settings and change the voicemail number to your actual phone number instead of *86
[Hero CDMA Android Development] austin9350:
Try going to Settings>Data synchronization>Google and uncheck the auto-sync and then recheck it. I flashed to the 2.1 rom and then back to Fresh 1.1 and noticed that Gmail wasn't getting e-mail till I refreshed it manually, but after disabling and re-enabling auto-sync it has worked perfectly.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jjjjayd13:
Great work!!!

Thanks MUCH!

i 'really' mean it

;) -- ID #91A026240U520841N

This has worked better then I thought. Everything that I wanted is working except camera,;). Tether works fast.

Keep up the good work!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dennistpm:
What happened to Wireless Tether? I can't find it anywhere in this ROM? BTW, this ROM is very quick so far. Great work.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] WhiteWidows:
I had to wipe everything and reflash for it to show up and let it boot once before enabling apps2sd, then reinstall my apps.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sriner:
I have a weird glitch. I was testing the alarm clock. Sometimes it doesn't ring when the phone is asleep. When I wake the phone to the lock screen it shows the clock ringing but there is no sound. However, a couple times it has worked correctly. Anyone else experience this?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jjjjayd13:
GPS

Just one point, the GPS does not seem to be as sensitive with this ROM.

Any suggestions to improve?:confused:

For instance only when laying on dash will it work, not while mounted in holder.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theoottesen:
Just a question, if I remove the HtcLockScreen.apk, will that cause me to not be able to shut off the alarm from the default 2.1 lock screen? I prefer that lock screen so I always rm HtcLockScreen.apk and I just put 2 and 2 together, and I believe that is what's causing it. I'm going to test it real quick but hopefully someone can comment on this.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] willowmp:
I too have noticed this. Unless it has an unblocked path to the sky Navigator cannot lock onto any satellites.

I also got some FCs in the phone app, and I think people app? But I think this was due to it trying to update all however many facebook friends that automatically got synced to my phonebook right as I tried to place a call.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tyrnight:
Still doesnt work..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 27s:
no offence, but use the search button....i posted 3 or 4 pages back on how to make it work...this thread is getting too cluttered.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] WhiteWidows:
What he is saying is that its not pushing mail (ie sync). Mine was not either and I tried all of that. Try it. send yourself an email in gmail and it will not get "pushed" to the hero. It usually only takes 30 seconds or so. The initial "sync" there s no issue.

In addition to that the GPS is unable to keep a lock and its very sensitive to obstructions compared to the 1.5 based roms.

I believe these to be actual "bugs" that should be documented and eventually resolved.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 27s:
Ah, to me the post said sync, not pushing e-mail. I do not remeber him saying that he has done a second wipe and reflash like stated as well.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] WhiteWidows:
Is push mail working for you?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tyrnight:
I did state that.. no biggy though. I get great battery life when I check mail manually.. lol

besides the point.. I just do not get any email notifications, even if left over night, that it received any email, which it didn't.. until I hit menu and refresh in gmail.. and emails from the night before come in..

I actually reflashed 3 times.. and email still acts like this..

just reporting that I tried all that you recommended..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 27s:
I stand corrected. Yes, push mail (gmail, I have not tried any other pop or Imap) works fine for me.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] travo1:
Push email isn't working on mine and i even used the rru and back ...still nothing. Doesn't bother me figured you guys would like to know
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chuckhriczko:
Likewise, push gmail has never worked for me on this rom.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 2.0t03speed:
I'm having some interesting issues with the new rom. 1st this morning was my alarm it went off but then it kept comming back on like i snoozed it when i clearly pulled the lock screen down to turn it off. This happened 2 times my alarm went off at 7 like it was supposed to and then came back at 7:10 and then again at 7:20. After it came back the last time i went into the clock and actually disabled the alarm and that finally made it stop coming back. Also my notification led's do not work for messaging what so ever i havent tried it for mail as i manually refresh. i looked back a couple pages in the thread but i couldnt find anything on the notification led not working just the hardware button led's. I'm reflashing again as we speak to see if it fixes the issue will report back when i know if its fixed or not.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jerrygon:
Wow... This rom is totally amazing... Runs great! Unfortunately with 2 little kids I use the camera like crazy. As soon as you get that working this will totally be my everyday rom. Thanks for all you geniuses do!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 2.0t03speed:
ok update to my situation i reflashed the rom and now my notification led's work for my gmail, but they still do not work for my sms. The only thing that happens when i get a sms is that my track ball lights up once and only once.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kcarpenter:
Maybe just an irony here, but I am working on a program to make the trackball light up for notifications. I can only make the ball light up once, can't get it to flash with the LED. I will let you know what I find works in code to see if it maybe something we can apply to you.

You may figure it out by then...time is limited on extra projects.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jjjjayd13:
GPS Update!

Today I used CoPilot and had similar problems with GPS.

But I noticed that CoPilot had a section that showed the satellites were available but that the program did not 'read' the satellites that were available.

Hope this helps devs.:confused:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] skola28:
More info on the LEDs.

You'll notice, if you mess with the POWER Widget, and toggle the 'brightness' button, the LED for the Trackball and the hardkeys turn on. You can toggle this as many times as you want, and it seems to 'reset' the value for the LED. Once they turn off though, they seem to be lost forever.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] toastcfh:
yeah man ive looked into the lights. it seems to be due to the lack there of a light sensor. it seems toggling them on on and off works but the sensors takes care of that. ill try some things and see if i can resolve it. im not sure but i think they work in 2.0 aosp. ill have to check.

also on another note, something that would be of great help from everyone. is if u have an issue with an app or the hardware. id like to see proper bugreporting. its really of no help to me to see "this random thing" doesnt work. because then i have to go duplicate the issue and debug it. then i have to find a solution. what i need from everyone is if its possible. is to see a bugreport like "this is what i did", "this is the issue" and "this is what logcat says". this will not only help me iin trying to figure out whats going wrong. but it may also be possible for others to look at the logcat an tell u what the issue is too. it makes for quicker debugging. if i see what ur logcat is saying i can possibly give u a solution here in the thread or even go and see what up with it. now with all that said.... please dont post an entire logcat. and use the add script option it ur post. so we dont have a whole pagee with one giant logcat message. :p but yeah instead of just saying "this doesnt work" try saying "this doesnt work and here is what logcat is saying" . thanx everyone

ps: this is how i debug. i start with an issue look through logcat and try to figure out what is causing it. i also think this may help to get more people into trying to solve issues. i personally just try to get things that everyone is prolly gonna use working. like hardware and certain apps. just remember logcat, grep and strings are ur friends. also a hand full of other tools but ull find them on ur own. thanx again everyone
[Hero CDMA Android Development] El_Capitan!:
Some HELP

well, i would like to upgrade my software version 1.0/firmware 1.5 to eclair on my hero, but i don't have any idea' :o how i could do that. can anybody tell me how to install/upgrade my ROM ?

10x :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] omeganot:
The download link from the first page has instructions for installing this rom. Nandroid backup, Wipe/Factory Reset, install the ROM zip, reboot. Other varied fixes are also detailed throughout this thread, like fixing the sync issue.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] lordofokra:
Try reading one of the million threads about rooting and flashing ROMs in this forum, but you basically root, install the recovery image, put the new ROM in zip format on the SD card, boot to recovery, nandroid backup, wipe, and flash the ROM
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chuckhriczko:
I searched through the thread and couldnt see if this was mentioned. Anyone else experience a bug with sending multiple page sms? I sent two two page sms to two different people yesterday. Neither recieved them. Couldnt really think of why but just wanted to throw it out there.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] willowmp:
Don't really know much about debugging and the like and am posting this from my phone but some bugs:

Message app is sending repeat texts from days ago every once in a while.

Im app states when trying to sign onto aim : cannot sign in. Phone number cannot be read from sim card please contact your phone operater

Sometimes trackball lights sometimes doesn't. Example: in browser

For those who wish to zoom on browser double tap close together on a non-link area on the screen.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] AyoJake:
so i need to do a factory reset will i need to re-root if i take off 2.1 rom
[Hero CDMA Android Development] davebu:
can someone who has already flashed this take a screenshot of the regular home screen, without sense. you can view it with the app called home switcher. just curious if it is the same as the nexus's version of 2.1.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] magicalan:
i wanna know this too..how doesthe lockscreen look without the htc :P
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aaron130:
Hey flipz, just an FYI, on the title of this thread you have the release of the latest ROM as 01/01/09 not 10. Just thought you may have overlooked that(not that everyone doesnt know it was JUST released,lol)

Also I have a question. I wanted to try this so I did a wipe from the recovery boot menu and then flashed this but when it booted all i kept getting was A TON of FCs. What did I do wrong? I thought all I had to do was a wipe from that menu and then flashed right away. Did I do something wrong?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] N0J:
Try doing a wipe again. There may have been some settings that didn't clear.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aaron130:
Thanks N0J. Is this ROM actually ready for everyday use?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chuckhriczko:
I've been using this as my daily rom ever since the accel was fixed. The issues are as follows:

No camera

No paid apps (far as I know)

Cannot send multiple page texts. Have to split them up manually. No biggie.

That's it as far as I can think of. I use this because it doesnt have the sms issue that the 1.5 roms have and I can link multiple gmail accounts to it. I freakin love it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cswee10582:
So stupid question! Do i just load this to SD like i did with Fresh 1.3, then rename it update and load it? Oh yeah, but first do a wipe, then load?

Sorry!

Chris
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bud1i9ht:
Place it on the root of the SD card and there is no need to rename it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] omeganot:
I'm apparently having problems with SMS as well, even though I didn't really know it. I received two SMS messages yesterday, short ones, and sent out replies that were only one message in length. This morning I got an email from one of the people checking in because he said I didn't reply to any of his SMS messages, implying that he sent multiple and I only received the first one. He definitely didn't get my reply to that first one.

Edit: Also, I'm using Handcent to send my texts. Have not tried the regular messaging app. Not sure how much this matters, but it's a deviation from the stock.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obededom:
can anyone explain why camera functionality is such an issue?

is it a on board driver issue?

yes, I'm an uneducated man asking a pretty technical question :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] toastcfh:
What did u do to get it working? Should I ditch my ideas?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tvrvic:
Kill the com.android.phone process and the phone will come back to life, that is about where I got to, unfortunately once you do this you can not make any calls. I think I need to get inside the boot.img now, but I need to setup a Linux VM to keep going with that.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] toastcfh:
Can u believe it 60+ posts and not a single one about how to root the hero! I think this maybe a first for the cdma hero threads.;D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
lol! Hey toastcfh are you on gtalk? PM me your addy if you are. Although I was talking behnam (gsm dev -- very nice guy) and it seems that it might not be possible for us to really make much progress on this rom because we don't have the most up to date kernel available for cdma.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] quietcblongs:
Something to investigate is what/how are some of the CDMA (or Sprint) specific settings/menu items come about, like "Update PRL" or "Update Profile". Hopefully, its not a build specific settings app, but just config files. The "Update Profile" really just sets the username/pw for the data connection (PPP), but I think this data does not really reside within Android, but within the MSM chipset's own data storage, same with the PRL, I wonder if QPST works on this phone, hmm.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] toastcfh:
The kernel is a major problem. But were hacking up this one to work. Here's an idea for the sensors issue. In our Rom in /system/lib/hw there is a file called sensors.heroc. try swapping that file like we did for the WLAN.lo to get WiFi working. It may work. Also u might have to remove the c from hero on that file
[Hero CDMA Android Development] toastcfh:
I'm thinking all the set5ings and stuff are loaded through apks and stuff in the app folder. But I also think u may need to remove and uninstall the gsm stuff too.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
All the progress I've made has been by comparing the Droid rom dump to this GSM 2.1 Hero dump so for those of you messing with this you might want to check that out.

The Droid dump would be a much easier place for us to start with because it is a CDMA device. The problem is the only rom dumps I can find only consist of the /system/ directory which isn't enough to get it booting on our phone. I'm assuming that the droid hasn't been rooted which is why we don't have a full rom dump available to us.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] quietcblongs:
Hmm, the Moto Droid 2.0 build is set for an OMAP chipset, rather than msm7k, so while the apk's could work, the lib's and other "native" files would probably not work right?

A side question for this newb (me) in compiling Android, where are these ro.cdma.* (found in the Droid's build.prop) properties set?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] toastcfh:
Good thinking. I searched for the dump lastnight but got side tracked. But yeah root is prolly the issue. Building a .29 kernel for heroc isnt gonna happen very soon. So hacking this one may work but we need a newer kernel. Bad.... anyhow I can't even test my ideas I'm at work.... errr....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] david279:
ro.cdma.home.operator.numeric=310004

ro.cdma.home.operator.alpha=Verizon ro.cdma.homesystem=64,65,76,77,78,79,80,81,82,83

ro.cdma.data_retry_config=default_randomization=2000,0,0,120000,180000,540000,960000

from droid system dump
[Hero CDMA Android Development] toastcfh:
Anyone tried to swap apn-config files? Although in the apn-config it says it must match apninfo.xml. god... I gotta get home
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
Yup, I did that before I even posted the rom and it didn't help.

I got it to recognize on sprint by changing the follwing in build.prop:

ro.telephony.default_network = 0

to

ro.telephony.default_network = 4

After that it changed from "no service" to "Sprint" and showed my signal. I'm pretty sure that's the change that did it at least. I made a few changes at once. Ha.

Another thing I've noticed is if I try swapping Phone.apk with the one from droid or with our original 1.5 then com.phone still crashes, and on top of that it goes back to "no service". However it doesn't suffer from the memory leak. So that is part of it. I'm going to rip open the apk and see if I can find anything.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chuckhriczko:
What if we try to pull the phone.apk from the GSM Hero 2.1 builds? My theory is maybe the Phone.apk is just the UI and as long as we have the right radio (which we do) it will work. Maybe not but figure it might be worth a shot.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
I tried it from the droid 2.0 and it just breaks everything. heh.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chuckhriczko:
Yeah but I was thinking maybe the Hero phone.apk is different than the Moto apk. I'll try it when I get a chance.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
Oh sorry I misread what you said. But pulling it from a HTC 2.1 gsm build? That's what's in there right now. Let me know if you have any success. Toast and I have been gtalking back and forth and trying different things but he's stuck at work so he can't try anything right now. We've made progress as far as saying "ok well that isn't working because of this" but the hard work is making this work with that. ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] seankk:
..from

do we have any idea when this will be released as a custom stable or a upgrade via ower carrier or htc themsellves
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chuckhriczko:
Ok. I thought it might be but wasnt sure. Did we try the phone.apk from the 1.5 Hero we currently have? I cant remember :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cteneyck:
if you could just take the phone .apk and recompile it for the 2.x kernel you will be ok. remember phone is an app and on the cdma hero it was compiled for 1.5 so it probly needs to have the 2.0 kernel support added to it
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chuckhriczko:
You also are an uneducated man asking a question that has been answered many times over. It's the kernel. We need the kernel source for 2.6.29. We are running a hacked up system here with an old kernel.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] katmandu421:
The lockscreen without the HTC stuff is the "rotary phone" lock screen...like the Droid before it got updated to 2.0.1

There isn't any of the Nexus 1 stuff in here like animated wallpapers, the new and weather widgets, etc. Running it wothout sense looks like vanilla 2.0 to me.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] magicalan:
how do i take the htc lockscreen off :p
[Hero CDMA Android Development] omeganot:
Actually, the new News and Weather widget IS on this build...and it's friggin sweet! :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] katmandu421:
Sorry, wrong thread. I am running an AOSP ROM.

Is the GPS working consistently on this ROM? I've read several posts since the update stating that it was still spotty. Can anyone confirm?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] johnsongrantr:
flashed this one last night.... I got to say... pretty freaking nice. Someone said something about the weather being jacked up. I found a workaround or something.

Go into weather, delete all the locations, hit done... I got a FC and returned to homescreen, removed the clock widget, then added it back, it prompted for location, hit current location. then all is well.

Really digging the new market, general feel of the phone is a bit snappier over stock. It still feels kinda rough around the edges, but I think I'm going to roll with this version on a day-2-day.

Main complaint is the market not remembering my past downloads and the missing protected apps from the market. The MIA camera doesn't bother me so much. Other than that, top-notch work. Cheers
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ffyter:
Anyone have issues with voice search not showing up? I tried to install the apk from 1.5 but it keeps giving me a force close when i try to run it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Noan21:
Sorry for the newbish question. Where could I get the solid colored wallpapers in this rom from?

I really like them but I had to go back to stock rom today. :-(
