Does somebody want to take the responsibility of maintaining a rom listing thread? He/She would have to maintain updates to these roms in dev too though. And then maybe... I'll shout and maybe they can hear... A MOD CAN STICKY THAT!? :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Tipharet:
So based on what I am reading, we have a fully functional 2.1 ROM?!?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 702DROID:
NO but its stable ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Orangeandblue302:
i must agree, this is pretty darn stable. only one force close in an hour.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Philosophy757:
Very true. Stable and fast. I'm assuming that we loose root as I was having issues with root apps.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kcarpenter:
Found a deal breaker, or I would run this all the time.

ALL OF MY FACEBOOK FRIENDS ARE IN MY CONTACTS!!!!

I have like 600 facebook friends, 90% of which I can't stand to look at. Now I have 600+ contacts!!!

Any one else seeing this!?!?!?!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mcdroid:
getting force close when opening the clock app to set alarm etc? Just me or known? Anything to fix/work around?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kcarpenter:
known, not sure of a work around. This thread has turned evil, can't find anything.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chuckhriczko:
No. I'm pretty sure there was never a workaround for this. Most likely it's just missing a library or a configuration file of some sort. The best way to debug those is to figure out what apps might connect to it and see if those apps have errors too. May be able to narrow it down. Logcat also helps a bunch. That way you can find out what exactly is missing.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bobdude5:
i think that happens through the actual facebook and not the htc link profiles one..you have to change the settings on the facebook to get ride of them
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
Updated first post. I was on vacation when all this happened. :p
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kcarpenter:
Multi Touch isn't working yet either is it?? Aren't we supposed to be able to pinch the homescreen and see all 7?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Orangeandblue302:
just got a tweet from AndroidSpin saying google release the system dump for the Gphone (Flan). Would this help out with this build at all?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] toastcfh:
eeeek.... its another gsm device. but im gonna hack this up and see what i get:D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] lonerebel:
Even with the networklocation.apk fix, Google navigation appears to be broken. It perpetually stays on waiting for GPS. The regular maps app appears to work just fine.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obelisk79:
I'm very interested to see what version kernel flan runs.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kcarpenter:
I figured this out, under Accounts and Sync you can go into Facebook and Uncheck Sync.

To bad, when you uncheck it, it doesn't get rid of the contacts it already added!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] koolhand79:
is there any way to get the 2.0 email messaging app on the 2.1 ROM. I liked that combined email box better than the regular HTC email app
[Hero CDMA Android Development] toastcfh:
u can prolly find the apk in the 2.0 rom. idk. let me know when figur out which one it is
[Hero CDMA Android Development] N0J:
has anyone been able to find the filename of the Power Control Widget app?

I've looked through the 2 app folders I know of and haven't run across anything similar to the name of the widget.

it's the top widget in the pic below, I'm trying to port it over to 1.5, any help is appreciated!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] iswm:
Nope. Nevermind.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] N0J:
thanks, I'll give that a try :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alexthearmo:
if I do a system wipe to flash this ROM will I lose root? If I flash back to my Nandroid Backup afterward, will I still have root? or will I have to reroot?

Thanks in advance for the answers!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] N0J:
not seeing the file, I'll download the latest build and look again.

I noticed it was in fresh 1.0, so it's something htc updated from existing..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] katmandu421:
Is this build any different than the ;atested mirrored from yesterday? They both are 1.5v5 so I assume so. Please, confirm?

I appreciate it, this is getting really good!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] diesel joe:
Root

Alex I lost root when I flashed this rom. But I restore my nandroid I have root Back. I have flipped back and forth several times. I got my apps to show in the new market once. I can't find google goggles though. Thanks for all the hard work Devs:D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chuckhriczko:
Goggles wont work anyway considering we dont have a camera :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chuckhriczko:
Any ideas on why I can't use the flash_image command to flash a new recovery image? After I flashed this rom I try to run flash_image recovery recovery.img but it brings up flash_image: command not found. Is this an application on the recovery partition or part of busybox or something?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kcarpenter:
98% sure this is part os busybox which has yet to be incorperated.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] diesel joe:
You are correct Chuckhriczko. Just wanted to check it out. And poke around and see if I could come up with a way to get the camera working. I really liked the e-mail widget on 2.1. You guys are great. That's why I like android soo much.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theandrewgordon:
I like how 2.1 feels. Good work. I think ill make the switch final when the g-sensor works, orientation on websites and Nav would help. Also the camera would be great!

If only dual booting were easy.

Oh, and the track ball clickability would help.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 27s:
I am still very green at all of this, but with the Voicemail app, Sprint_Core.apk, is there a way to deconstruct the apk? I tried, but for some reason I cannot view the XML correct, etc. I am trying to find out what limits sprint has placed, so it cannot be flashed to anything but the stock ROM. Any thoughts?

--Matt
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chuckhriczko:
You may be able to if you know assembly. I think it would be very difficult to do. Unlike WebOS' ipk files you cannot just extract certain files. The xml files are all encoded in some way.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] toastcfh:
i got1.6 working. it has a2sd but u gotta wipe the ext3 and all the apps on it to use. i guess this is an issue they are having. ill get some other things fixed up before i release. its cleaner for sure and seems to be working much better. no camera,gsensor, multitouch, or trackball clicker thingy still. i got side tracked on trying to get the new flan build to boot and ****in with the apps in it. eek... that thing is a *****. lol anyhow... i hope to get this 2.1v1.6 build finished in the next day or so. im starting to think the camera gsensor issues are kernel related and we may not be able to fix them. but.................thats what everyone was saying about this whole build and look how far it come. still we need some people to step up if they got the skills. or else these thing may never be fixed. its fun to play with this build and have 2.1 but were just going in circles. if we dont get the rest of the hardware working. just a thought.... good luck;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] toastcfh:
i dont think the voicemail issue is in the apk for the app. it seems to be in our ril or something. maybe an apk thats already installed. but it dials *86 for voice mail. i dont think thats a norm for sprint. and not being able to install apks like HtcCdmaProvider.apk prolly doesnt help things much. ive made a classes.dex and resigned and tried to get it to install to no event.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bron019:
thanks for your hard work
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 27s:
Ok, well I got the actual voicemail app to "ghettostall". It is on the ASOP build, but I am working on the 2.1 as well. The nice thing is I am finally getting some sort of notifcation that I have recieved a voicemail. I have not had this on any build (fresh 1.0, ASOP, 2.1) for a while. Still grinding away.

--Matt
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chuckhriczko:
The voicemail number is in the settings menu. Go to Settings->Call Settings->Voicemail Settings->Voicemail Number. Just change it to your phone number and it should work.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] toastcfh:
oh...****... i didnt even think to look in there. i didnt remember having those settings on the madaco rom. good call. now may be i can get the voicemail notification out of my notifications menu. lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] toastcfh:
also gotta get rid of that damn text for voicemails
[Hero CDMA Android Development] VoXHTC:
So just a heads up for those that are working so hard on this ROM, and I have to say I'm NOT complaining AT ALL. Just want everyone to know what I'm experiencing so that it may help the devs out your quest of a fully functional ROM.

1. Bluetooth audio with my Motorola ROKR SD-H9 Stereo Bluetooth Music is very "crackly" after it's 1ft or more away from my phone.

2. Bluetooth music and audio doesn't always play through the phone. Sometimes it plays through BOTH! at the same time. Very strange when listening to a song. lol

3. Clock widget doesn't work no matter what I try. FC everytime I touch the clock to set my alarm. Tried installing the additonal zip over top of itself hoping that would fix it somehow.. No such luck.

4.Can't update the Facebook app from the market to the new version just released. Says installation was unsuccessful and that's all. No further info.

5. Can't change my wallpaper. No access to the pics on my SDCARD to set as lockscreen or wallpaper.

6. Incredible work. I know that's not saying much and I've no clue the depth that is required to do what you all do, but I'm very greatful for all the work you all do. I wish I could help. I hope this does in some small way.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 27s:
Chuck,

No dice on that. It is really queer...It will send two texts, one saying the correct number of who left the voicemail, then it looks like "core.mobility" sends one as well...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tkirton:
I'm confused. I've looked on Android's site and the one that gets released on December 11 (a few days ago) was Android 2.0.1 (not Android 2.1).

I think Android 2.1 is Flan, not Eclair. So, I guess my question is...is this really Android 2.1 (Flan) or Android 2.0.1 (Eclair + Update).

Talk of desserts has made me hungry.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] VoXHTC:
Android 2.xx is Eclair. Flan appears to ONLY exist on the "Offical Google" phone. I could be wrong though. We're dealing with Eclair here 2.0 and 2.1.

December 11th was the offical release of Android 2.0 for developers to dive into. NOT specifically for our phones.

We WON'T see an update from sprint until "1h 2010" translated to 1st half of 2010.

XDA will have a fully working 2.1 for our phones in a few more weeks. The 1st post of this thread explains what is available to us as of right now. It's not perfect by any means but it's light years better than what Sprint has released as of yet. Feel free to install it and get a taste of 2.1.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 27s:
Well, I think I got half the problem figured out. The voicemail app is not "phoning home" for provisioning. I have been messing with it all night, and to no avail..

Edit: P.S. I got the weather widget working as well. Working on the World Clock as we speak.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ElAguila:
I am still quite new at working with android but I wanted to start off by saying thanks everyone for their hard work on this project. I have a couple of questions. After doing a nandroid backup, I wipe the data and then update. At this point does the root method for 1.5 work for 2.1 or will it still be rooted? Second, I am just verifying this point, this is android only and does not include the htc senseUI, correct?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 27s:
If you want vanilla android, you will have to try out the AOSP ROM. This is 2.1 with SenseUI, and yes, this and the AOSP ROMS are rooted.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obelisk79:
Just wanted to point out, while the vanilla AOSP build lacks sense ui, it feels ridiculously more responsive than this rom. I was personally very suprised at the difference. No placebo affect there.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ElAguila:
I am glad to hear this has SenseUI. I was under the impression that it didn't. Thanks for the info.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Orangeandblue302:
if u dont want to run sense on this build you can simply go to Application<Manage Apps<HTC Sense and then select clear defaults. After you do that simply select Home as default.

Edit - I dont mean totally eliminate sense :-) just get "rid" of it for navigation. I prefer Vanilla over sense for some reason
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obelisk79:
there's a big difference even between sense ui being disabled on this rom and the AOSP. what you don't see, is the sense ui/HTC framework. It loads in the background even without sense ui loaded. Trust me, it's still slower than AOSP. I like both but you can tell the difference.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sm_x:
HERO21 - Community release v1.6 is out already with many improvements, I can't wait to see it ported to cdma.

http://htcpedia.com/forum/showthread.php?p=30418
[Hero CDMA Android Development] crunchybutternut:
Good news, I think toastcfh is already working on it!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] katmandu421:
I prefer non-sense (get it?) on the AOSP but the battery on 2.1 is fantastic. I think there may be a memory leak or run away app that is causing teh AOSP battery life issue.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] N0J:
maybe someone who is running AOSP can run SpareParts and see if there is an app preventing the phone from sleeping (like the old dialer/msg app issue)

I'm running Fresh's 1.0 rom and noticed this morning that a app I loaded was causing this, battery was draining fast, removed the app and all is good again.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mecca_2l:
I'd try it but I cannot get my recovery boot to work so I can make a nandroid backup.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ElAguila:
A quick question here. Has anyone noticed a change in the battery performance good or bad with this version of android?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] toastcfh:
Tip got it booting and all. A2sd seems to work though I didn't wipe my apps from ext3 so I can't be sure. Still having issues with the clock and weather widgets. Though I have managed to get current location to work. But its on showing temp in c someone here managed to fix the weather issue. So I'm hoping to get a pm or a post telling what he did to fix it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] crunchybutternut:
Can't wait! Great work so far everyone!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nebj00la:
Camera driver

If anyone is working on the camera driver issue, I'd like to work with them. PM, please.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chuckhriczko:
I havent really noticed any difference. I usually unplug the charger at 8am and have to plug it in again around 7 or 8PM. Same as before this rom.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Tipharet:
Yeah I have been watching this thread since it first was created. Its been really interesting watching all of this develope.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] venumx:
so something's wrong with android.hardware? haven't really messed with it before other than in code :/
[Hero CDMA Android Development] animal7296:
I too am very excited for this to be complete. I agree that the accelerometer is a vital part of the phone for me. I can not text in portrait mode.

I wish there was something i could do to help but all of you guys here are light years ahead of me on the programming thing.

I do however appreciate everything you are doing to get this rom out to us asap as i am not too fond of vague, generic release date info that sprint gives us.

Thank you all again. :-)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] venumx:
anyone else having issues with worldclock force close?

*just read 27s' post about attempting to fix worldclock...nvm
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jjjjayd13:
Great ROM, Work!!!

Thanks much for the hard work!

All involved have do a GREAT Job!

jjjjayd13:cool::cool::cool:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] venumx:
ok so for whoever is working on the worldclock issues, i think it has something to do with the new conflict between animationdrawables and tabhost component, its definitely an issue with the tabhost though... just dont know what do to do fix it
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 27s:
I think so too, but I am trying to do a work around. The main thing I am upset with is that I achieved weather and partial world clock, but I am having a difficult time replicating. I will keep you guys updated.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 27s:
Did not really mean to do this on purpose...but some how I "broke" Rosie. This allows me to choose between Vanilla look or Sense. For some reason I think this is a feature, but I am not for sure. I think Rosie is a framework vs. just an android overlay. Curious.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nelson8403:
You're just selecting the default home screen, if you either remove defaults, or if you remove rosie you go back to the default android screen.. you can do that on our normal rom too
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chuckhriczko:
Yes. Rosie is just another home app like aHome or dxTop or GDE. it's just an app that runs as the home app. I have "broken" Rosie many times while removing items in my Gutted rom.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] katmandu421:
For me, I noticed that 2.1 is much better than the 1.5 ROMs. AOSP 2.0 however seems to be much worse than 1.5. I think there is a sync issue or memory leak causing the drainage. I turned off data sync and that helped, but then it is not really a smart phone. With 2.1 I can keep sync on and ist lasts longer than even the 1.5. Good stuff imo.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] angst911:
I appreciate your hard work, I felt compelled to send you a donation.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Orangeandblue302:
I too will be sending you a donation after i finish up all the holiday stuff, sorry but gotta take care of that first ;-)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] deadonarivalry:
Waiting to see how this develops. Probably gonna flash this soon. See how it goes. And hey, I'll probably be donating myself, but like someone else said, after holiday stuff. Lol.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jjjjayd13:
Root?

FYI,

I just tried to 'root' my phone and the sd card disappeared. Turned off then back on.

What happened?:confused:

Hope this helps our devs.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] koolhand79:
Does mms work on this?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] venumx:
no, force closes :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] phonetec:
i installed the galley apk from the AOSP build, and it will let me send from gmail,email,facebook,picasa, bluetooth and plurk, no option for messages though...

also force closes when trying to set as wallpaper
[Hero CDMA Android Development] longlivethetea:
trackball works for navigating but not for selecting anything. just trowing that out there
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kel_o91:
has anyone had any luck with identifying the apk ...i remember seeing someone write htcsettingwidgets.apk but when attempting to copy over it is not allowable because Hero1.5 already has a htcsettingwidgets.apk. These are the widgets that you can add to your screens. The one in the picture looks more like an app which contain all widgets with a better layout.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] WhiteWidows:
I can confirm that the phone is working..Making and Receiving.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] toastcfh:
the problem is the build thinks this is a gsm phone. its asking for the sim, giving errors about the sim not alowed to use the network and so on. we may get wifi out of this but its still made for gsm notcdma. its prolly something in the build prop or even the kernel thats causing this
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
Yea I'm certain that it's in the kernel, which HTC has made the GSM kernel open source but I believe that Sprint is in control of whether or not they will release the CDMA kernel. As you said I'm confident we could get wifi working but I'm not sure about the rest.

Although it's interesting that calls work... I didn't even try. :cool: But I don't know if it's in the kernel for sure or not. I'll start looking in to it tomorrow.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] WhiteWidows:
Looks like he got WiFi working......

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERak0Co3MK0

***EDIT***

Thats a GSM Hero
[Hero CDMA Android Development] toastcfh:
its the "sim, apn. and gsm" part of the build. im not sure if the kernel or what can change that. all the roms we have are based off the orig. cdma heroc rom. this is a gsm base rom. i think wifi is as far as we will get. unless the kernel tells the os to not worry about a sim or apn settings. which im doubting it does,but it could be possible. its good to see that mostly everything works. except wifi,data,and gsensor ofcourse. thanx again to u good job.

oh yeah... did u just hack up there boot.img and plug our kernel into it? is that all it took to get it to work? what didi u do if more?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 5tr4t4:
Forgive my grumpiness:D...I'm not responding to you specifically but to the overall way that open source is being handled on Android of late.

The kernel is Linux and therefore open source. HTC and Sprint have no say in the matter. They are both REQUIRED by the GPL to release their source code. This post illustrates my sentiment exactly:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4733219&postcount=36
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tvrvic:
I believe to get wifi working all you have to do is replace the wlan.ko file from our 1.5 build. I have my wifi working, but I did that as well as a few other files at the same time. I am in the process of verifying that is all that needed to be done.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] N0J:
Any way we can get the power control widget and add it to a Fresh build? :D

btw - after entering adb shell, I was able to make a call
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
Yup, I figured it would be nothing more than the driver. Cool.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] minorsecond:
Just messing around, I emailed HTC asking about the kernel, and I just now got this in response:

"It is up to the carrier to decide which HTC phones will be upgraded. If the carrier does not request an update we can not offer one. However, if the carrier does request an update it will be posted at www.htc.com and the carriers website. Unfortunately, we do not have a timeframe when an update will be available."
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
Yup yup. Nothing we can do about that.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 5tr4t4:
Right, I assume this reply refers to official Sprint/VZW/Tmo binary/firmware OTA updates. My point is that the kernel code itself should be available (I believe it is) and neither HTC nor Sprint has the option to withhold it from the community. Without Linux (and GPL) there would be no Android and we should never let them forget that.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] minorsecond:
I explicitly asked when they're going to release the kernel per the GPL and they gave me that.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] athlet1c:
They gave such a generic response. They are aware devs want it
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 5tr4t4:
Cool, many thanks for the follow up! I should sign off and not hijack this Eclair thread any further...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] minorsecond:
I'm just as guilty. No more from me. Sorry guys!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] c4sp14nx:
Admittedly, I may not know what I'm talking about...but isn't the source code for the kernel right here?:
