Sorry about the MMS, I think its with the apns-conf I included in my build. You can fix this by doing the following:

1. boot into recovery

2. delete the telephony.db in /data/data/com...telephony/databases

3. exit shell and push in the fixed apns-conf.xml attached to this post. Make sure you rename it back to apns-conf.xml first.

MMS send should work now.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] BrianDigital:
In which manner do I delete it from recovery menu, I keep getting read only failures,

when I do push is there anywhere specific
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bron019:
Why does it say that i have a signal called c is this normal
[Hero CDMA Android Development] incogneato:
MMS sending works flawlessly. Jury still out on receiving, nobody I know is awake yet :)

Thanks once again!

http://www.mediafire.com/file/cncnynzojkm/mms_fix-signed.zip

Fix incorporated as an update zip. Install over the latest release with no wipe
[Hero CDMA Android Development] BrianDigital:
thankyou kind sir
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrinehart93:
So since this is the second ROM I'll have flashed, let me get this straight.

I'll first have to boot into recovery, then Wipe Data. Once I do that, I can go ahead and flash it like normal. Then when it boots, if I want the Market, Maps, etc., I'll have to go use Flipzmode's Pre-Kitchen to add it? Thanks! And I'll probably be flashing this really soon... just because it's not 1.5 anymore! BTW can anyone confirm if this is stable enough for 24x7 use? I've been using Fresh 1.0 for awhile now. Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] BrianDigital:
head over to googlebits on aosp 1.6 thats where you need to go
[Hero CDMA Android Development] BrianDigital:
sorry to say that zip did not help over a minute of trying to send
[Hero CDMA Android Development] incogneato:
Ugh. Likely something in my update script.

Try turning airplane mode on and deleting

/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/telephony.db

then reboot.

Probably have to turn airplane mode off when it boots back up, so don't be alarmed.

For the record - Here's my update script. Someone check my syntax and see what may be going on?

show_progress 0.1 0
copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM:
delete DATA:data/com.android.providers.telephony/telephony.db
delete DATA:dalvik-cache
show_progress 0.2 0

But lets not get too far off topic.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] BrianDigital:
maybe it was this "data/com.android.providers.telephony/telephony.db"

i believe the "telephony.db" is in here

data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db

Now I deleteing the entire folder structure or just the telephony.db

I;ll post back in a sec just rebooting now
[Hero CDMA Android Development] BrianDigital:
doing that worked for sending, my girl is going to send me a pic once she has a second ( @ work) sent my myself a mms, right now it just says "downloading"
[Hero CDMA Android Development] incogneato:
Bingo. Very hungover and didn't see the path error...even on the second try.

*edited link to correct version* Thanks for pointing out the obvious to me :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] BrianDigital:
yeah looks like no receiving mms yet on this ROM, but its still excellent though
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gu1dry:
The "EV" signal is the data connection, the "C" signal is the cell/phone connection.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gu1dry:
As been previously stated check out the Googlebits on AOSP 1.6 thread, for assistance with that.

I have been running the previous release of AOSP 1.6 for over a week & so has one of my friends, no complaints & in fact it is lightning fast compared to Fresh 1.0.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bron019:
ok thanks so it is normal
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gu1dry:
On this ROM, yes.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] lorsoblu:
Is there any information about a spell checking function for things such as the messaging application? Or is it standard for basic Android to not have one like what we have for the Hero?

I am just curious on whether or not something is messed up on my end, or if I should not be expecting to have one with this Rom.

Thanks for all the great work!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] BrianDigital:
I was looking at the apn-conf.xml file from freshs rom and there is some differences,

where we have the apn "cdma" and thats it, the stock one has two "android" which kinda of matchs some of the numbers in the "cdma" apn

then a "telkila" which also has almost the same values but the "mnc" value differs from the "android one in the same xml file
[Hero CDMA Android Development] emenny81:
working pretty good.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cj1171:
so does google navigation work reliably?

I use sprint navigation a lot, so that's one of the big hurdles keeping me from trying 1.6 or 2.1
[Hero CDMA Android Development] lonerebel:
Can anyone verify that

1. Is google synch is working correctly? I'm not sure if it's this rom or the aosp2.0 rom, but it would stay in a synching state 100% of the time and not allow the device to sleep.

2. Is Google navigation is working. I tried on a previous build and it would load but would always fail to find the GPS. The google maps portion worked just fine.

Thanks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gu1dry:
This is a Dev thread of AOSP 1.6 NOT the Googlebits. Please ask these questions in the appropriate thread.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] markachee:
Thanks! This is awesome! Finally got to play with <insert random app that requires 1.6+ here>!

However, my main problem so far is voicemail notifications. Not a Sprint user, so I'm not even looking for visual voicemail. Just standard, run of the mill, "you have X new voicemails" in the notification bar.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] quietcblongs:
Do you get anything on your phone when you receive a voicemail? On Sprint, you get a funky looking SMS.

A quick update on the MMS recv issue. In the current released build, I have a bug where it gets to a null pointer exception. When I fixed that, it looks like there is a problem in the code where it decodes/parses the SMS WAP PUSH message, and the links are to download the MMS message are being truncated. This is a problem even when you email to <yournumber>@pm.sprint.com, so its not strictly a phone-sent MMS issue.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kylez64:
Has anyone else had a problem with SU? I moved it from xbin to bin and still no go. Other then that excellent rom :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chuckhriczko:
Yeah I think I had issues with it too but I didnt look into it much. Maybe it's a permissions thing in the update script?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] lonerebel:
This Rom is great. Nearly full hardware support, no more lag, and now google navigation works flawlessly. Awesome work!

Is there any progress on adding Bluetooth support? Or any particular reason it hasn't been added.

Thanks for all the effort you are putting into this quietcblongs.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] travo1:
The rom is amazing I really couldnt ask for more on it! However my wifi is not working, I have no clue why, I wiped and reflashed and it still is not working..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sawawa:
Just wanted to file a bug report:

If you create a text message that is too long for a single message (and gets split up) it will never be sent. It also prevents outgoing text messages until you delete it and reboot the phone.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] magicalan:
no screenshots at all?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gu1dry:
It's AOSP, therefore it looks liek Vanilla Android.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] lostboy4480:
First of all, Thank you for this rom, it is by far the fastest I have used and with nearly al features working.

I have been running it now for a few days and have notice one thing. If my phone has been left alone for a while, The data connection appears to disconnect and it wont reconect without a reboot. No apps have a data connection and the little evdo signal meter (The one that shows active data transfer) in the status bar has disappeared the EV bar shows good and so does the C meter.

All i have installed is the Googlebits and everything else seems to work with no issues at all. Does anyone else have this issue ?

Once again thank you for this rom and this is not a complaint, more of a for your information :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sawawa:
Yes, I too am having the data connection issue detailed above.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gu1dry:
I've had this also, but I just think it is the reception in my basement, because the data connection does come back for me, if I simply move.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] quietcblongs:
Probably is, because I don't think I set the SUID bit in the update script. I don't know the correct chmod command off the top of my head though...

About the data disconnect never reconnects until reboot, I have experienced the same problem. Its something down my list to spend time on though, as there is a workaround for now (rebooting the phone). The solution would be for the CDMADataConnection class to start the system service that sends the commands to qmi0 whenever it tries to initiate the data connection. Right now, it only does this once during boot, right after the emergency numbers are set from the network (meaning we got a stable mobile phone network connection). If someone wants to investigate how one would do that from Android Java framework code, that would be great. I've seen code do the same thing, but its a C/C++ glue code. In C/C++, the code does a "setprop ctl.start <servicename>". I wonder if doing a system.getproperties and then setting the property that way would work...

So right now, I've been thinking about the MMS/picture mail receive issue. I can see that the SMS->PDU decoder inserts some nulls (0x00) into the CONTENT_LOCATION string, causing code further down the line in the MMS app to think that the string ended, when there are more characters after that null. This is bad because it doesn't get the full URL, causing it to fail to fetch the MMS from the MMSC. The SMS WAP PUSH decode works fine in 1.5, so I need to see if there have been code changes between 1.5 and 1.6 in that area.

For those interested in more detail, read on...

When the phone receives an SMS from the RIL, the framework does some work to put it into the mmssms.db, and then signals the system that it received a SMS, so other apps and services can take action. The fun part comes when its a MMS, because a SMS does not have enough characters to carry all the parts that make up a MMS, so most of the time, the RIL needs to combine 2 SMS messages to reconstitute a WAP PUSH, which is how the phone knows to download a MMS from the MMSC. The problem appears to be when the 2 SMSs are joined to reconstitute the WAP PUSH, there is an extraneous null inserted between the two joined parts, causing parsing problems in the PDUParser.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] magicalan:
can i at least get a screenshot of the lockscreen please :)

does it look like mine

i wanted like mine but not buggy like the rom i use....or what lockscreen is it? please post screenshots someone :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gu1dry:
It's the stock vanilla Android 1.0-1.6 lockscreen, like so:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gu1dry:
Just a bug I have found. When I plug my headphones in, it doesn't display headphone in the notification bar.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kylez64:
Could you share that or possibly link me to where you got it please :D

that thing is nice
[Hero CDMA Android Development] travo1:
is anyone else having sms sending issues?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sawawa:
travo1, yes, but only in the case that I outlined here. Otherwise everything is perfect. I've been using this ROM all day and loving it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] travo1:
That's crazy... wish mine was even allowing me that it won't send at all.. used rru to go back and still won't allow.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] elessarelfstar:
Root

Does this ROM have root access? I installed it, and installed google bits. Everything went fine, very very fast. Impressive.

But then I install the root explorer and it could not access root. I went to terminal and could not do anything either.

If it doesn't have root access (seems to be the case), is there a way I can get it?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] quietcblongs:
You should be getting the pound/hash symbol when you adb into the phone when running this ROM. Running terminal from within the phone does NOT give you a root shell, since the terminal app does not run as root.

Again, try using adb shell, and you should have a root shell on the phone that way.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] elessarelfstar:
Thanks for reply. I do get root through adb shell, and it works fine.

The only problem that is keeping me from going back to fresh 1.1 (vanilla, no sense ui) is the same one that travo1 is having. For some reason I can't send sms. I can receive just fine.

I wiped everything. I applied your mms update (don't know if that matters). I'm also not getting auto-correct when I type (have all options checked in settings).

Ideas?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sawawa:
Is the source code for this ROM available anywhere?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] markachee:
Sorry for the delayed response. Absolutely no notification when there is a voicemail waiting.

However, this isn't limited to just this ROM.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] quietcblongs:
re: voicemail

can't really help then, its either a network issue or something other than the ROM.

re: SMS sending problems

I can't reproduce this, in fact, I sent and recv'd several SMSs just yesterday, no issue. If you want help to debug this, do the following:

. try sending a SMS

. do "adb logcat -d > smsprob.txt" while the phone is connected to your computer

. upload the smsprob.txt file on pastebin, pm or reply in thread with the pastebin URL, so I can take a look at it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] quietcblongs:
This is pretty much AOSP, so you can get the source the same way I did, follow the instructions at source.android.com. You can go through this thread to see how somethings were make to work.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sawawa:
Seems slightly odd to not just make it available with your modifications so that people could help you, but thanks for all that you are doing. I've been using this ROM exclusively this week and it is so much better (and faster) than the stock 1.5.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] elessarelfstar:
I will try the logcat when I get home. If this helps too,when I try to goto voicemail helio vm from virgin mobile answers. Why in the world would that happen? Doesn't happen w fresh 1.1

EDIT: NM - can easily change this in vm settings...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gu1dry:
Any thoughts?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bikcmp:
Shortcodes...

Shortcodes don't appear to be working; try texting google (466453). It comes back it failed. On stock HTC 1.5, it works.

:confused:

Try to get this fixed, it will be awesome!

-Jason (bikcmp)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] quietcblongs:
re: headphones, does the audio get routed to the headphones? dunno about the notification thing...

re: shortcodes, same with other sms issues, try to send, get a logcat output.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gu1dry:
Yes the audio gets rooted thru the headphones fine, it just doesn't display an icon in the notification bar that headphones are plugged in.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] elessarelfstar:
Sorry, I'm having trouble pulling the smsprob.txt

What I did do thought was run logcat while trying to send a text and created a screen image of that action.

It is here: http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/MUufrfkE4pM4SPtkWlFLww?feat=directlink
[Hero CDMA Android Development] elessarelfstar:
Are you running a "with Google" phone?

Others: Are the phones with outgoing sms working "with Google" phones or not or both?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gu1dry:
I haven't had issues with my CDMA Hero with "with Google" branding. My friend has a non branded "with Google" Hero & he doesn't have any issues either.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] elessarelfstar:
Thanks. Having a really hard time figuring this out.

Everything else works. Well, with the mms exception.

-Incoming/outgoing calls

-Incoming sms

-Internet

-Market/paid apps

I simply can't get outgoing sms to work.

Here is a link to the smsprob.txt if anyone wants to help. I don't really understand a whole lot here (I can guess what certain parts are talking about, but that's about it). There are a lot of "failed to... etc"s near the end.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] travo1:
I think my issue was the phone... I am waiting a replacement bc customer care wouldn't swap under 30 days.. My wifi hardware stopped working and I think the SMS was another issue, I got it to send 1 message after 4 consecutive reboots
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cj1171:
I can confirm also having the outgoing SMS issue on a "With Google" phone. Unfortunately, that problem was too big for me to stick with the ROM, so I did not see your instructions on how to grab the log files before I wiped. But hopefully some pattern will emerge in who this SMS issue is affecting...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] travo1:
I can also confirm I have a with google phone, even the new replacement is doing it..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gu1dry:
Just a question, all of the people that are having issues with SMS, have you tried to wipe & reflash?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] elessarelfstar:
Yes, I have wipes and reflashed. I have ruu, wipes and flashed. I have formated sdcard, wiped and flashed.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gu1dry:
Did you push the Googlebits to the phone? I'm just to see if there are specific links. Also which recovery version are you running?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] travo1:
I have done the same using RUU 1.56, and I have tried prior to pushing google bits and it is still doing it regardless
[Hero CDMA Android Development] elessarelfstar:
Yes, I tried sms outgoing both before and after install of Google bits. Recovery version 1.5.2

I have also noticed the stock keyboard has no auto correction library.

EDIT: Just because recovery version was mentioned, I tried flashing to recovery version 1.2.3 and flashing 1.6 rom again... but with no change. SMS outgoing is still not working.

I'm beginning to wonder if flashing this ROM creates a problem on Sprint's side. Is that possible?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bikcmp:
Source code

Hi, where can I get the source code for this rom? Thanks

Jason
[Hero CDMA Android Development] elessarelfstar:
Could someone with working outgoing sms pull of their apn scripts and put it up here (along with where they go) so I can see if that helps?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] quietcblongs:
About the sms send problems, I've looked at the logcats and see nothing that says something failed. You might need to use ddms and do a device state dump, and look at the radio log. I suspect the 2.x RIL (from the leaked 2.1 HTC ROM) that this ROM is using may not fully work on some of the CDMA Hero with a different hardware revision, as evidenced by how the first RUU didn't work on all Hero's.

About the keyboard not fixing spelling, this is because AOSP does not include any dictionaries, you can do a search to figure how to add the dictionary into the IME.apk. This has been discussed before.

About source, see my reply in the 2.0 thread. I will post what I've modified, and that someone can use to reproduce the build. I haven't posted any because it is still a work in progress. I will post it when I feel that the code is fairly finalized. If some of you actually want to help me with code fixes, then please raise your hand. It'd be nice if there were more eyeballs reading and comparing 1.5/1.6/2.0 source to figure where things are breaking down.

All this brings back a discussion I had with another dev about posting up ROMs, regarding support and stuff. At this point, I'm ready to just say "if it doesn't work for you, don't use it". I post this stuff up because I thought others can BUILD from it if they want to. It seems that most people just want a ROM like Fresh's or Modaco, which is perfectly fine. It was NEVER my intention to do build a ROM like that, and also took a while for people to get that.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gu1dry:
Well said quiet. I have no problems waiting for stuff to get working. I have no programming knowledge when it comes to C++ or Java, so I can't really help in figuring out the code :/ but I have no issues being a guinea pig ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] katmandu421:
Got this running with google bits. This is the best hardware support we've seen since breaking out of 1.5, eh? Nicely done.

Just curious about the extra network icon in the notification bar and the lack of "Data and Synchronization" in Settings. Was this left out due to the sync bug present in the 2.X Roms or did I hose something?

EDIT: I woke up to no data this morning. I hadn't read that this was an issue yet, so thought I'd post my experience.

EDIT2: I thought that I had found how to replicate the data connection dropping. Basically it wouldnt switch back from wifi. This morning on my commute, however, I was using 3G to stream a podcast. When I got to work, data was agin not working. Weird seeing as I was streaming just mintes before without issue.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Leukay:
First of all, let me just say this is awesome. I've always perferred the stock android, and the donut market is great. Got everything running with googlebits, and lets hope I don't get any data issues. Thanks a lot!

@katmandu the two signal means theres one for evdo/data, and theres one for voice signal. I just figured that out when i sent a text message lol.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 98classic:
got this working on my phone and its awesome, only thing giving me a head ache is how to bring back the backlight while on a call and not hang up. like say i needed to use the dial pad and the phone is asleep. anyone? and also the dialer has no answer buttons on the screen so i have to use the hardware ones, not a gripe just wondering if thats normal, it just takes getting used to.

great work guys.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 5tr4t4:
Is "Shake Awake" in the Donut market? Works great on cupcake, just shake the phone to bring the screen back from sleep.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Leukay:
Or you could just press menu
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 98classic:
ahhh i'll remember menu, going to try out the shake thing anyway =), thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rustyman14:
Ok i read through most of this fourm and some people have the GPS working others dont.. My gps works if i use GPS Status but sprint navi and google maps wont find me??
[Hero CDMA Android Development] katmandu421:
Aosp builds are the only ones that GPS works solidly for me. I would try maybe un/reinstalling maps? I can't comment on Sprint nav since I have not reinstalled any sprint apps.

My only pressing issue is network data coming back after turning on wifi. btw, since there is no data sync option in menus, just add the power widget. You can toggle sync there, though there is a gmail push issue. You eventually get notifications but i just manually refresh it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gomorrah:
Would it be possible for those of you who are able to send SMS to check your PRI? Does everybody have 1.70, or is there anybody who it works for have a 1.68? Thanks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 5tr4t4:
Shaking is more fun than "MENU"...although with all of the re-flashing of newer/better ROMs I don't always have it installed. It's hard not to look like an idiot shaking your phone for no reason :o
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 98classic:
haha i remember on my tp i had that boob shaking app, that was fun.

my sms works in and out, where would i check my pri? my prl is updated but i cant find the pri version in settings
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gomorrah:
Your PRI is in Settings>About Phone>Status. I was hoping to find out if the ability to send SMS was limited to those with an updated PRI which would lend itself to the theory that the problem was hardware related vs. software..
