Eh... OpenGL... well after many restless nights. The issue seems to be in the module in the kernel. I actually made an attempt at backporting the hw3d from .29. But it still wouldn't work. Although that was on maejreps kernel source modded for the heroc. So yeah I guess ill try again with htcs source. But yeah the issue I had was msm_hw3dc wouldn't load to dev. But yeah thanx for the reminder. I'll try it again
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dmc971989:
so, if you dont mind me asking...

what issues remain before it would be possible to have a fully functional 2.1 rom?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chuckhriczko:
One number is the answer to all questions. 42? No of course not. 2.6.29. That's answer my son.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dmc971989:
lawlz at joo... but i was asking if they had it functioning at all yet? and if so, what still wasnt working (IE: bluetooth, 3g, multi touch, wifi, etc...)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wtphoto:
as far as I can tell by running this for a bit and reading the posts here and knowing all the great devs working on it. the stuff thats not working isnt going to work until we get a full port of the .29 kernel.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Merckle:
I know its a noob question but isnt that what just came out on the htc developer website?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
That was the .27 kernel. Devs are working hard as we speak on forward porting this into .29
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wtphoto:
dang you beat me to it lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dmc971989:
ive gathered that... i guess my real question was "how far along are the dev's with the port of the .29 kernel"
[Hero CDMA Android Development] toastcfh:
idk... thats what they say. but... thats also what they said when i first started on this rom and nothin but phone and wifi worked. but now look... all but opengl, camera,halfass multitouch and the flaky gps works. so idk... i like to think hopeful. :rolleyes:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wtphoto:
ive only seen one estimate about it taking a couple weeks to get it fully working but I am hopefull that with devs like toast and Chuck and Maejrep (the one that had almost completely reverse enginered the kernel before they released the source) and the rest that I cant remember at this point (have been up for almost 48 hours) that it will be sooner than that.

I cant say it enough we have some incredible dev's here working on the CDMA hero.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Merckle:
So why again did HTC not release the .29 , I really wish I could help out on this but my programming skills aren't that great. But devs you are epic for everyone's hard work
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dmc971989:
you forgot about Flipz :p

other than that i completely agree with the statement above
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wtphoto:
lol now that I have gotten a few hours of sleep and re-read that post I relized I forgot him which is kinda funny since I am running fresh rom but thats why I said "and any others that I am forgetting".
[Hero CDMA Android Development] blehzz:
I imagine because they're not done porting it over and testing it yet?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Merckle:
getting alil quiet around here
[Hero CDMA Android Development] david_ag:
Because the Hero has a .27 kernel. Since the .29 kernel was not used in the development of the Hero's 1.5 ROM they don't have/need to release any other kernel. When the official release to 2.1 comes, THEN they will be held accountable for releasing the .29, as they will have released a software using the stated kernel.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] blehzz:
can't wait for 2.1 - thanks a ton for the hard work!

any updates on how the .27 kernel release is helping 2.1 bug fixes/development?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kraminc:
Is this project dead now?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Merckle:
I hope not :( But I havent heard much on here
[Hero CDMA Android Development] troyboytn:
I too, am hoping that it is not dead. I have been rooted for some time now and this is the only rom I have any interest in flashing (no offence to flipz, modaco, gbhil, or theresthatguy.....they have done some amazing work). I hope all will be working soon.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] adelaney:
I know, our forum sucks in general lately. I hit the g2 dev forum the other day, saw 2 new roms and got all excited. Then realized I was in the wrong forum. Dangit
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jayjay7411:
yea i went to modaco 2.2 from this and liked it but its just not the same as 2.1 and i am now flashing my hero back to this :( i just will miss multi touch and a couple of other things but 2.1 is sweet!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sirchuk:
Whats needed for a 2.1 rom anyhow? Is something specific needed before the modders can make a working rom?

I don't think HTC is going to release the 2.1 Hero rom until they're ready to launch the Supersonic on Sprint.

They (HTC) should at least offer a download of a normal 2.1 rom without Sense...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] badutahboy:
LMAO.. I just did the exact same thing.. saw a bunch of ROMS and thought "No way!!! Major breakthrough today!".. only to have my spirits crushed.

Looking for someone running this ROM to test new kernel build. Read the thread, link for this version is in post 130 .
[Hero CDMA Android Development] toastcfh:
Well guys I've been working on it with maejrep a bit. Mostly camera. They spot were in now, it seem. s were so close on two fronts. One being the backported msm_camera and the other is v4l2. Both are being a pain. All the nodes are loading one /dev as expected. But the camera api just isn't having it. Or its still that somethings wrong in the drivers. When there is no way of testing but to use the camera. Things get hard
[Hero CDMA Android Development] acm2117:
So i flashed this rom this morning. I like it alot. Has amyone tried the visual voicemail with 2.1? If that worked i think i would use this as my everyday rom. Right now i'm gonna try this for a few days. Props to the devs. I hope yall get this fully functional before the htc devs.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
How about the gps? I know it works, but its kinda crappy to be polite.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] adelaney:
I know you guys are hard at it man. I am learning all I can in the meantime, so I can actually contribute more than words. Peace.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tkirton:
Because they haven't released the binaries for any of the CDMA phones. Under the GPL, HTC only have to release the kernel source for the software that is released. In the case of the CDMA phones, it is 2.6.27.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Bitbang:
Is the current build's bluetooth good enough to assume that if something built using the level 5 or 6 SDK doesn't work, it's probably because I'm doing something wrong in my own code? Or does full 5/6 API bluetooth support require a 2.6.29 kernel (or parts of 2.6.27 that we don't have yet)?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PRGUY85:
Any chances of getting visual voicemail working? I'm currently testing this with gbhil's kernel (Gumbo) and it runs great (a bit battery hungry) yet I woudl really like to have Visual Voicemail working.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] HeroMeng:
Well, there are parts of 2.6.27 we don't have, like power management. Technically, it is not open source, so HTC is not obligated to release it. It's entirely possible there are parts we don't know about.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mercado79:
I switched over to using Google Voice for all voicemail. That way, "visual voicemail" works, regardless of what ROM you're running. In November, Sprint (and others) worked with Google to allow free forwarding so...that makes it easy too. Just a thought.

http://www.google.com/voice/sprint
[Hero CDMA Android Development] crunchybutternut:
I want to do this, but can't get away from the Smart Greetings that YouMail offers. Once GV has that option, I will start using it instead.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] foolforfood:
So this may be a stupid question by somebody that's not quite on solid ground with all my linux knowledge, but there goes. Does the recent update to the nexus one that enables multi-touch offer any hope for enabling multi-touch on this ROM? I know flipz said he's gonna put out another release after the kitchen is done, so I suppose it's just a thought.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ilikecupcake(s):

oK tried searching the thread and I'm not a noob but are there instructions on how to enable apps to SD?

Actually, if the ROM you're using supports apps2sd then all you have to do is partition the SD card.

dont know if this has been covered yet but is anyone else getting push gmail issues? i'll get emails and then go into my phone and see no new emails until i push refresh and then the emails come in. anyone else?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chuckhriczko:
Sort of. My push works when it wants to.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PRGUY85:
No Google Voice support in Puerto RIco.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] daveydave:
GV has that. You could have a different greeting for each person in your address book if you wanted.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mercado79:
I was gonna say the same thing...but after checking it out, YouMail reads the first name automatically. No need to record a unique message for each contact. Very cool. Hope Google offers it in the future.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaredakelly:
oh yeah also gv doesn't seem to have the ability to make calls. anyone else have this problem? going to have to uninstall
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Merckle:
Using YouMail I havent had anyone say that it says there name when they call. And I have smart greeting on any clues?

Any Update on this Build?

Nm I figured it out
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wakeboarder1335:
This thread has seemed to stall...I hope something big is coming!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] troyboytn:
Waiting patiently.....something great will turn up in time.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] toastcfh:
eh well i wish i had something for everyone. ive been working on the camera VFETASK isnt starting and at this point that is the issue. its not giving a "this is whats wrong" kinda error so its pretty tough. were on it though as we all want 2.x on our heros. at this point were in the same boat as the gsm hero guys. the only reason they have a working camera in 2.x is because of a leaked .29 kernel for the gsm hero. even they are looking forward to a camera fix from us. so they can have camera and custom kernel goodies. the camera is actually the same issue the dream guys face in 2.x builds also. they hacked the libcamera.so to work with their libqcamera (btw ive tried this with no event) but yeah even after they hacked the libcamera.so to use their libs. they still ended up with no video and a halfway working camera. so yeah. were trying. :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Pimpinmane:
I'd be content with it if the gps worked properly. Never use the camera.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Merckle:
Ya I would be content with just everything being stable as possible, Think i could live with out the camera working.

But toast again Grats on the hard work!!!!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaredakelly:
i second that, and the only thing keeping me from using it full time is the fact that google voice doesn't work as it's the only thing i use to make/receive calls
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
If you have your are using your mobile number for google voice, then all your calls and texts are via google voice. If you choose to make a google number then you can make calls/texts via your google number. This is at least what i think your problem is. sorry if it isn't. you could pm about your problems as to not cluttering this thread with non-dev stuff
[Hero CDMA Android Development] toastcfh:
look what me and lox got working on the hero's!!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Thomas1218:
Is that what I think it is?!!!!!!:eek::D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tyrnight:
it still says .27 but the 29 at the end is curious
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Darkshneider:
Please, enlighten us, the noobs...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Wasney:
According to the thread its a kernel that lets you over clock up to 660mhz....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tyrnight:
now I see!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaredakelly:
mmmm.....overclock
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaredakelly:
your making little sense. i have google voice on my phone and am making it know that i can't make calls, i would think the devs might want to know what is and is not working.

i'm not going to bother the devs with a ton of my own personal qualms with a bunch of pm's
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chuckhriczko:
Holy wow. I knew this processor would allow for this but was waiting for the higher level devs to do this. Good job Toast and Lox. You guys rock. Just let us know how to do this and I am sure we will all happily burn up our Heros making them faster. Can't wait :)

Also, will anything bottleneck the speed? I know, for instance, that the Dream had some issues with overclocking where something would make a bottleneck that would make any further speed unnoticeable. I doubt it with this device but just a thought.

Damn. Once you guys release this and we get OpenGL working we will have a kickass rom here! Thanks again!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theoottesen:
That's awesome!!!! Is that as high as as it goes, or is there more room to work with?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 27s:
If I can speak for toast, I beleve there is more room, but I leave him free to correct me.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wakeboarder1335:
And the thread take off again! Great work guys!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theoottesen:
That would be awesome, now that we can effectively scale the speed even if the cpu gets pushed to max i wouldn't think we'd see to much battery loss. but we wont know until we actually test it of course.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] crunchybutternut:
I've noticed the 29 since using Fresh 1.0. Probably was there before that too.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] xtkxhom3r:
so what can we do to overclock it our selves?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] toastcfh:
Well what I'm using is a ported version from the dream guys. I wanna go through it again to make sure everything is clean. But ill start a dev thread for it tonight when I get home. I'm pretty sure we can clock higher because they have managed to hit 1ghz with the device running 3 degrees warmer and stable. This hack seems to use 528 mhz voltage with a higher clock speed. In my experiance with ocing. Leaving the voltage the same can be good and bad. Really the only bad is that most of the time processors can only be oc so much on the same voltage. But I'm not sure how high ours will go. Like I said I hope to clean it up and take a third look tonight. Also battery life is good so far oced . It actually seems to be the same due to scaling and having power management enabled. But I m at work and not sitting and playing on my phone.:D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theoottesen:
Even if it can go over 1ghz i think most of us would be satisfied with anything close to that. It is interesting that it will go that high without a voltage change and be stable, but i'm not very familiar with overclocking the arm cpus so maybe that common.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Darkshneider:
My phone got wings after rooting... pretty soon, devs will add jet engines. I swear I heard my phone screaming "I feel the need... the need for SPEED!".
[Hero CDMA Android Development] xtkxhom3r:
oh man i cant wait till you make that thread!! how hard will it be to do it our selves on our current rom? id hate to have to wait for a cook to cook it in their rom
[Hero CDMA Android Development] toastcfh:
Yeah I'm not saying our CPU will do what the dream CPU will. The clock I'm getting may be the max possible for our CPU at the current voltage. Idk that's why ill start a dev thread for everyone to tinker :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] xtkxhom3r:
please do!! btw if the G1 can get 700 im sure we can too. since its the same cpu....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PRGUY85:
This seems nice and all...but don't you guys care about making all hardware work (camera,BT) before working with OCing?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theoottesen:
A couple pages back you would have seen that they are still working on other hardware, I believe this is called multi tasking....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Tipharet:
lol. No doubt.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] KERKEDAGAIN:
umm..as a chef choosing to share, VOLUNTARILY, one's creations with the public has the right to decide the order in which dinner is served; so our devs can choose what they want to work on and/or release when they please..if you don't like their decisions, eat fast food!

As for me..i wait patiently 'til the dinner bell rings, bringing whatever treat is served. :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abcdfv:
Quoted for truth.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] toastcfh:
Funny thing is I sat down to work on the camera and lox hit me up asking me what I thought. I got the source and in 10 minutes, we had it ported. It worked so I thought id share. A lot of people seem interested, so I figured id clean it up and help everyone out. Plus I do this as a hobby, not for money. To be honest I've only made $4.50 off doing this stuff. So please man be patient. I'm doing my best to make camera work. It's just slow going
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PRGUY85:
I understand, just thought that it was better to focus on making everything work and then focus on pushing hardware. Yet, I'm no developer, just a fan of your work and will patiently wait as other have said.

One question, has anyone figured a way to make the protected apps show on Market when using this ROM or any other 2.0 ROMs?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wtphoto:
cant wait to get this going just a little more I would run this full time if we could just get multi-touch working.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] xtkxhom3r:
so no thread on how to do it?? :( :confused:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Leukay:
We are waiting for the almighty Toast to clean it up a little bit, and then he will post a thread with instructions. Hopefully tonight! :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] xtkxhom3r:
man i dont know how you guys do it you guys are geniuses! i cant wait for that thread to pop up
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PRGUY85:
Trying to get Maps Update to install using this ROM. It detects update available, downloads it but can never fully install it. Same thing occurs with Facebook application.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] daveydave:
Protected apps

I'm curious about this too. The camera is pretty big for me, sure, but bigger is the fact that only SOME of the apps that I've purchased don't show up but others do. Makes me wonder why that is. Also, some of the free apps I use regularly do not show up on this or AOSP 1.6 (like Verizon's FIOS app). What are those folks putting in the app that makes this the case? Seems pretty random.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tokuzumi:
The OC thing is awesome!!!! If it runs, and is stable, this will be great news to get some extra HP for the phone to run more intensive N1 style apps. Woot!!1!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chuckhriczko:
We also need opengl. Once we have that this rom will be the coolest ever.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tokuzumi:
Can the hero support opengl?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] KERKEDAGAIN:
deeto on the opengl..also, i searched a bit but is there a way to get SU permissions on this ROM?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PRGUY85:
Been using this rom for two days now giving it chance. I can live without the camera but as I have reported before I really am used to visual voicemail. Is there anyway to get it to work? Also everytime I get a voicemail I receive a text message from Sprint I suppose as well as many system textsI don't understand. Any ideas?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] HeroMeng:
You could set up a Voice account to replace sprint VM.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
It was originally thought to be December. But now I've heard January. There is still no OFFICIAL word that we will get it, just a tweet from @htc that said we could.

PS- Wow your signature is huge.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chuckhriczko:
Well, I thought maybe thats the problem. The kernel this particular rom is running is 2.6.27 which is the 1.5 kernel if I'm not mistaken. If we were running 2.6.29 or 2.6.31 I am sure it would work fine but I figure maybe it's missing something in our kernel to make it work properly. Thoughts?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chuckhriczko:
I thought the same thing. lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
That is exactly the problem. We need the 2.6.29 kernel, but it isn't available to us. So unless some crazy good dev can rebuild it, we won't have any luck.

Here's what I put on ppcgeeks a few hours ago:

Hitting a brick wall. I'm certain this isn't going to be possible until we can get our hands on an updated kernel. In digging through the settings I found that the droid makes cdma settings to the framework.jar. Those settings don't exist in the gsm version that we have available to us. Rebuilding the framework isn't possible without having the kernel source. Kernel source isn't available to us. So it's looking like this won't be anything other than a novelty.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] packetlss:
The vendor RIL is the problem for you guys.

I suggest you guys check the diagram on this link.

http://pdk.android.com/online-pdk/guide/telephony.html

This describes the different parts involved in talking to the radio.

libril_htc.so is the library in question, for voice calls/messaging it interfaces with the radio via a shared memory area, for packet stuff it acts a conduit between the kernel and radio to facilitate a data connection. Sadly this library is proprietary and we dont have any source for it.

Chances are big that you guys are stuck until you can get a hold of a 2.0/2.1 compatible vendor RIL lib for your phone.

Even the leaked 2.1 Hero is VERY icky with regards to what radio it works with, there is only one specific version of radio that works.

One thing worth trying is getting the libril_htc.so from your 1.5 and toss into 2.1 and see if it works, there is at least a small chance.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
Thanks for the info, I'll check it out. The interesting thing is I actually was able to get the phone and texts working without modifying or using that file. No mobile data though. I really appreciate the input, we need all the help we can get. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] packetlss:
Well, messaging and solicited/unsolicited call handling is near identical between GSM and CDMA, packet stuff if quite different. I wouldn't be surprised if you got issues with conferencing and call waiting though. But as you guys have seen, the phone.apk isn't exactly rock solid when the RIL is borked. I can imagine the radio isn't too happy about being sent jibberish either :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] toastcfh:
no dice.... made the change, zipped, signed, and flashed. doesnt boot. hangs at the first htc spash

edit: my bad i messed it up. im tryin again

edit#2: it boots but phone.apk keeps crashing. then i let it sleep for a second and it wont come out of it.

boot issue,

i had the same prob with the initaial install of 2.1 i booted into recovery then did a wipe again and installed it again and boot it worked maybe try that.

sorry if its a waste of time,

FYI

my jammed at the HTC screen where the H then the T then the C all light up form left to right mine paused at the T so i knew somthing was up.

post bak if it works i want 2.1 damn it besides it being useless as a phone i liked it, it was dumb fast and i dunno a faw bat files to add apps well be good.
