Just got my phone today, and didn't want to start a whole new thread, but I wanted to poll others to make sure i'm not crazy.

vibration - the internal phone vibrator seems to have a bouncing metalic sound to it. if I shake the phone mildly i can hear something moving around in there. My G1 did not do this.

3G speeds - My 3g speeds are SIGNIFICANTLY slower (but not toggling between 3g and edge). at best I can get 660Kbps, where I was getting close to 3000+ Kbps from the same location with my G1.

Anyone else see this issue?
[Nexus One General] mixpix405:
I can hear a slight rattle when I shake mine, too. I'm not 100% sure, but I believe it's in the camera's mechanical autofocus mechanism.

My vibrator never makes a sound when in use.

Sorry. Had to do it. lol

What is with the "next button" on the keyboard when i am trying to change text in a search box?? The next button replaces the go button and is driving me insane.. also had an issue with the sd card not registering right out of the box; took me a few times but i finally removed it, cleaned the terminals and seems to be ok now. All in all these are things that shouldnt be happening on a brand new 530 dollar phone. Far from perfect switching from a 3gs but im going to stick it out and hope googles htc and tmobile make this right.
[Nexus One General] cocoaju:
Anyone find that the lower icons are misaligned? I still haven't got mine yet. So I just wanna find out.

Also, some other users are complaining they can't use the keyboard when they are laying on their back in bed. Something to do with the accelerometer or something. Anyone problem there?
[Nexus One General] BrooklynAvi:
I wish I could click the power button and then Volume Down to unlock the phone. It's a natural progression for my fingers. Anyone want to work on that hack?
[Nexus One General] BrooklynAvi:
I've spent a zillion hours on this issue. While uninstalling Spare Parts worked for you, I can verify this as what appears to be a random issue on three different N1s. I'm not sure what app, if any, is causing the problem. I started fresh for the tenth time and am installing 4-5 apps at a time, testing, nandroiding and then installing another 4-5 apps. I've yet to figure out what the problem is. I started a thread about this. I've basically given up but hopefully someone can come up with something.

This is a software issue. You can still use it but you need to change the colours used.

Select Wallpapers->polar clock and let if force close. You should see 2 buttons 'Set Wallpaper' and 'Settings...'. Select Settings->color palette and pick any of the colours available EXCEPT any of the dynamic ones.

You will probably need to select a different screen saver, reboot and then select the polar clock again.

You don't need to reboot. Just select polar clock after the palette change. It shows up fine when I go back to the home screen.

Uninstalling Spare Parts didn't work for me either. Still get FCs
[Nexus One General] jz9833:
the one and only complaint I have is a pretty big one in my opinion.

The 3g internet keeps going out. Edge is way to slow for this device concidering the speed it has in doing everythin else.

T-mobile has said they are trying to fixing the problem, but that isn't my only issue with it. T-mobiles 3g in Houston is alot slower than AT&T's 3G in this area.

Anyone know when this plans to change?
[Nexus One General] SRT102JZ:
anybody else getting complaints from the people calling your nexus one? ever since i rooted it, with amon, and bacon. seems like almost every other caller tells me it takes forever for the line to ring/connect every time they call me, and also half of the time when they call, they get a message saying something about "the subscriber your trying to reach is unavailable..." and they have to hang up and keep re-trying until it finally goes through.

now i thought this may have been a network issue in the area but its been going on for a few days now since i very first rooted it.

and i know i dont have poor signal quality, im in Austin and I get full 3G nearly all the time
[Nexus One General] nphaskins:
First a few things after using my N1 for 10 days now.

I am getting that "pink spot" in some pictures as well. As far as I can tell, it's an white balance issue because it seems to predominately be on photos taken of light or white things.

Second....my app names are funked all to heck. See attachements for N1 Pink Spot and Dislodged App Names.

By the way I am NOT rooted.
[Nexus One General] dashed:
I have a rattle when I'm typing, and when a call or text comes in. Its not bad enough to bother me but I hope its nothing serious

I think I've pin pointed that to the trackball. Happens when you toss it onto a couch or something from a couple of inches.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pk2:
I wound up with a non functioning SD card reader after downgrading to dreaIMG. I managed to get a USB connection, after much, fuss to my PC. I am running a program (Droid Explorer) on my P.C. which, among it’s many functions, appears to allow you to upgrade your ROM and install programs from its PC UI. any body gone this route? Would you recommend ?

NOTE: I messed with the SD and usb connection for days, new SD cards, reformatting them every which way, and fiddled with the setup on the android (once registered). I suspect the ROM was corrupt and recover process might just fix it. If it dosn't’t I certainly want to finish the whole process anyway.

The keyboard is the size of my shaky thumbs, I’m dyslexic, far sighted and can only hunt and peck on a regular keyboard. There is absolutely no way I could blindly pump the arcane commands I’ve seen around that might let me finish. (I tried typing “am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.settings/.Settings” 21 times and never got it right)

So, if some one can confirm this USB to PC flash is a valid method (DroidExplorer or other), I guess It would just be like using the PC as a gigantic SD card, I would be jazzed. Right now, cant’ use the keyboard, and can’t use the SD, I see no other way to finish the job. (unless I could install a command prompt thing on the phone to see what I’m doing…still no SD.

Thanks in advance

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IConrad01:
Questions in general belong in the Q&A forum, not the Development forum. Questions regarding Droid Explorer, being an app, belong in the Apps forum.

Repost there and you'll likely get help. Here, you're likely to get flamed.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rpcameron:
You can definitely flash images directly to the device (without use of the SD card), however, you cannot use update packages, but instead images. You will need separate recovery, boot and system images, and either apply them with the flash_image tool through adb, or through fastboot.

The flash_image route is going to be a bit difficult, since you need to have enough room on the internal RAM to keep a copy of the image you are flashing. (Perhaps you can overwrite the existing backup version ...)

In either case, this is not the best forum to be posting these questions. Obviously, you best course would have been in the Q&A (rather self-explanatory), or as another posted recommended, under Apps.

[Removed as duplicate]
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IConrad01:
Now that this post has been moved to Q&A: To the OP --

Have you tried issuing the "mount" command via console while in recovery? I.e.;

#mount /sdcard

I've had it come up where the /sdcard itself wasn't mounting properly.

Otherwise you're stuck flashing a full .NBH file via Fastboot, insofar as I am aware.

Sorry, I've been obssed and frutrated for 3 days/ Total lack of responce here (Q&A) and elswhere. I did a new search and everything resembling my issue was wherever my origional post was on xda, not Q&A.

Any way, I'll stay away. pk
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pk2:
I appreciate your reply very informative

1)if I reconstruct a zip file and get 3 or4 bin or img files, how do I determine which goes first?

2) Do they need to be renamed? if so, to what?

3) "The flash_image route is going to be a bit difficult" . so your saying that my P.C will not be behaving like an SD card? but just a dump truck?

4)n Sorry for crashing the party. I bought this thing on Ebay 4 days ago "for parts" and knew zip about it. I Posted several times in the Q&A section and pretty much got "format SD to fat 32"...Very well meaning but page one of every g1 how to.

Without bugging you guys, I know I'm a noob, but in 3 days I took this 50 buck T-mobile with no usb, no wifi, no bluetooth, no-way to input through the keyboard, no SD and, nothing on the screen but a 3 page sign up sheet for to google...to a functioning AT&T phone with most of the perks working.

I just want to finish the job, I think with a proper flash, the remaining probs. might go away. All I was looking for was a morsel of direction, not "format fat32", and you gave it!!

Thank you, PK
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pk2:
Thanks Ico...,

Yes, I have now. No luck. I resigned to the fact that I will have to install from my PC... for now. I tried out this little utility, Droid Explorer. It is the exactly what I think an interface should be. It's takes al these monstrous tasks an packs them m into a little windows type app. But, you have to heave a ROCK-SOLID connection.

I just have to think I had a bum DreaIMG rom. it loaded up from my SD card and installed swimmingly with a cheery concluding "SUCCESSFULLY INSTALLED!!". After that the card(s) were never to be recognized again. I wonder if I could Just get a normal usb-to-mini usb adapter and plug a thumb drive in, install of that.

Last night I got it to be recognized by my PC a little better, but, I still can't really transfer anything. (I also managed to inadvertently run up $208.00 in "data fees"...no bloody clue").

I've been following a different wiki every day. It seems as though most of them are outdated by a week or so (history). I think my problem lies in usb drivers because installations seems always seem inconclusive as to weather there there or not and adb seems to misbehave.

TTG, nice to see another rom for the CDMA Hero. I'll give it a spin when I get home.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Bielinsk:
Bit of a newbie question here. I am just starting to play with Roms, had Fresh 1.1 on it and took a back up.

Wiped then tried out Eclair 2.1 and took a backup.

Now to put this on, should I reflash back to recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2.img before applying?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] riotkid976:
Flashes seamlessly over fresh 1.1. stable, fast ROM. Nicely done!

and I would definitely motion for an Expresso build.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sriner:
What do the bouncy menu and screen transition add-ons do or look like? I can't find any information on them.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ljmeli:
The bouncy menu, simply makes the menu icons have a bounce when they pop on the screen (after you hit the menu hardware button). The screen transition I'm not sure but my guess is that it is the zoom in/out effect when transitioning between screens.

@theresthatguy

I can't wait to try out this rom, simply because I was not a fan of the espresso changes implemented in fresh 1.1. But the speed was great!

Did you also remove the HtcLocationService like the fresh 1.1 rom? I'm kinda hoping it's in yours because I never had a major issue with slow down, at least not a noticeable one.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theresthatguy:
Apparently this flashes perfectly from Fresh 1.1, so I would recommend you be running that rom or stock. Definitely do not try to flash over an Eclair rom.

The bouncy menu is anytime you press the menu button for ... menus it kind of bounces. There's really not much more to it than that. Do a nandroid backup, try it, don't like then do a restore.

The screen transitions are zoom-in/zoom-out like mentioned above.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theresthatguy:
I like the espresso rosie but I'm not a fan of the espresso status icons. Which is they this rom is stock looking so people can have a fast rom to customize themselves.

I have included it the HtcLocationService in this rom because I haven't had any major issues either, and removing stuff is easy enough that if you don't want it you can do it yourself.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theresthatguy:
Maybe you could help me with this? I am looking into theme making for the first time today and signing zips in Windows as well. I did pretty much everything in Ubuntu for this rom and doing rom building in Win7 seems alien.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] magicalan:
how does the lockscreen look thats howi base myself lol what version is it o.o
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theresthatguy:
Stock lock screen. Lock screen is no indication of software version. This rom is based off of the latest stock 1.56.651.2 provided by Sprint.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] riotkid976:
I would be more than happy to. The only problem is I fried BOTH my Windows computers this week...I've got the parts ordered for a new desktop, but that won't be. built for a couple days. Until then I'm stuck in Ubuntu, and I don't like Gimp.

Once I'm up and running all ill need are the files from a stock expresso build and I should be able to do it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] REDFOCZ:
Liking the ROM, reminds me of the stock Rom just much faster..... been running this all afternoon .... but flashed back to fresh since the stock Rom is boring looking now,

[Hero CDMA Android Development] MotherMayI:
when is there going to be a black theme for fresh rom? :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theresthatguy:
I don't know. This isn't fresh rom. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kcarpenter:
Flashed over Fresh 1.0 without a wipe, but me in a boot loop, I gave it 20 minutes.

Booted back into recovery, did a factory wipe. reflashed this one, boots back in 3 minutes.

So far it works, seems snappy. But I am still torn, I really like Fresh. I didn't like the new rosie or icons so I went back to 1.0.

I think to get what I want I am going to have to cook my own. :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ultivegito2:
I wiped my phone and installed this ROM, and it wouldn't let me download things from the Market. Should that be normal? Maybe I am missing something or doing something wrong? >.>
[Hero CDMA Android Development] erasmogjr:
I wanna try this so bad I love those transitions but I have to wait until 3pm CST I guess for mediafire and Rapidshare says its overloaded...its 2:15 the wait is killing me lol

edit: lmao just realized fresh rom has the same transitions , oh well still want stock notifications and lockscreen so the wait continues lol

Just installed this ROM -- in my opinion, its the best so far. Extremely smooth and stable. Exceptional work TTG!! Thank you and all the other ROM developers!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theresthatguy:
Thank you but I'm not a dev.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pseudoremora:
Hahaha, sorry. Wrong technical wrong -- well whatever you want to call the genius inside you, that's what I meant.

Also, has anyone had any FC's?? I just got one, but I don't think it was from the TTG ROM -- I had the Fresh 1.1 ROM installed first, but I wiped everything, formatted my card also and then installed the TTG ROM. Everything has been running extremely smoothly, but the problem I run into is this: When I try to search something with the Google Search Widget, I get: process.android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. Then I get a black screen that says "Fresh" and it sits there for sometimes quite a while (so I reboot) and other times, only for about 5-10 seconds...? Which is weird, because I wiped my phone at least 3 times before even putting this new ROM on.

I think I'm going to try to use the Sprint RUU and get to 1.5 and then format my card for App2SD, then install this TTG ROM again. Hopefully that fixes the problems. Any other suggestions??
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theresthatguy:
Probably a good idea if you wanna get rid of those lingering fresh files. I don't know what it is about that Rom that it can leave behind those files but to me that's just proof that its probably best not to make changes like that in a Rom.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pseudoremora:
Agreed. I'll try it later and post the results, be back in a while.

EDIT:: I used the Sprint RUU and then installed the TTG ROM, but I STILLto get the FC when I try to use the Google Search Widget. The message I get is: "process.android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." The WORST and weirdest part of this is that the after the FC message come up, my screen goes black again and in the middle of the screen shows "Fresh"? HOW THE HELL could that still be?? I used the Sprint RUU... somethings not right.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] raylusk:
I have been running thus ROM for a couple of weeks and it is performing great. No FCs and no lag. I tried modaco and fresh and while they are great roms, I think this one is slightly faster. Thanks for the hard work that has been put in by everyone who worked on this. It is appreciated.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vatruckie:
Upgraded SD card and now phone wont start!!

Been running this ROM since day I bought it! Amazing! I didn't know ANYTHING about ROM's! Had a Palm Pre ---> upgraded to a HTC Hero (Sprint) and was searching for ways to improve performance and ran across these "rom" thingy's. I sat at the fire station on my 33 hr shift ALL NIGHT (no sleep) hacking my phone and got it right the first time going through 3 different one's until I got to this one and I like it! Today I switched from the stock 2GB SD card to a 16 GB card. Partitioned 8GB FAT32 and 8GB EXT 4 (successfully and verified) with "adb". I've copied the .zip file for this ROM in the root directory on the 16GB card and tried reinstalling it, but still doesn't work! Now my Hero just constantly reboots at the "Hero" screen. The little green alien doesn't even show up anymore!! If I put in the stock 2GB card it works okay. Any help?!?! Thanx!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theresthatguy:
We'll sort this out.

You're welcome.

its probably the ext4 partition. Not sure what you're using it for but I suspect its the culprit. Format your sdcsrd back to fat.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vatruckie:
Yeah, I actually figured out around 01:00 this morning. My wife came out in the living room and said "are you kidding me"?!?! LOL! Formatting/repartitioning the 16GB to EXT3 (not EXT4) was the trick. I suppose maybe a "heads up" somewhere on page 1 that EXT4 is not supported might be a good idea?? Just a suggestion. Thanx. Keep up the good work! :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] posguy99:
The readme for the recovery image says at the beginning that the Sprint Hero doesn't support EXT4, and, in fact, gives you no way to create one. And giving 8 gb to APPS2SD is beyond silly.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jeffy2walgreens:
hey is a really great rom! question though: how do i install the themes and the different lock screens? also, do you have the stock lock screen just incase i decide to revert back to it? thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tkirton:
Reformat the ext4 partition back to ext3. With the current roms out there, none support EXT4 (the kernel, in it current configuration, doesn't support it).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tkirton:
He's trying to use app2sd with it. Ran into this issue the first time I partitioned my SD card. The guide I used said to upgrade the ext3 partition to ext4. When I did that, my phone just hung. Repartitioned the ext4 to ext3 and all was working.

Found out later that the kernel on the phone itself didn't support it because HTC didn't compile it into the kernel. Hopefully, with the source available, newer roms will have that support.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] getut:
Could you elaborate on what you are telling me here. I'm not sure I understand.

If the ROM is a replacement for the current ROM, unless you specifically added the block, wouldn't the block be overwritten by the new ROM and thus not be there?

You may be telling me that the ROM doesn't change certain things from what they are already set to. If that is the case, is it possible in a future update of your ROM to remove the Sprint USB tethering phone side block, whatever mechanism that is they are using to do it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] GarrettFoster:
First off thanks for all your help. I followed your guide to root my phone and then figured I would try your ROM out as well.

My question is have you noticed battery issues with this build? This is my first day with the ROM and it seems to be eating a lot more battery than normal and I haven't even been using my phone that much.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theresthatguy:
No, in fact I hear quite the opposite from everyone. It's probably just a placebo effect.

Have you installed any new apps recently?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] raylusk:
I had this same issue but it occurred with fresh, modaco, and ttg. I thought it might be occurring because I was flashing over other roms. What I finally did was reload my nandroid backup of the original hero Rom, cleared all data including the apps2sd, and reflashed the ttg Rom. Now my hero has no lag and the battery life is better. I don't know if all this was necessary but I wanted a clean install to really test this Rom. It was more work but I think it was well worth the extra effort. This is a great Rom and those that have worked on it have my appreciation.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tkirton:
Actually, that's somewhat incorrect.

While there is no actual menu to create one (like the conversion of ext2 to ext3), the program to do it is in the image. This is how I got in trouble with ext4 on this phone when I did my very first repartition of the SD Card. One of the guides actually showed me the step to convert and it did...but I found out during boot that ext4 wasn't supported.

To convert it requires the user to be in the ADB shell, so it's not something that can be accidentally done.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] grifforama:
Odd app duplications ?

Can anyone help me out here ?

I am running TTG 0.16, and have only just noticed that I have the following applications duplicated in my application list when I bring it up from the main menu.

Voicemail

Sprint Navigation

Settings

Messages

I've looked in System/app and they aren't duped in there, so I'm wondering what on earth has happened ?

Anyone any ideas ?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] koricua74:
This happened to me when I flashed the 2.1 icon metamorph theme (that supposedly worked on the CDMA Hero). The only way I could get rid of the duplicates was to remove the theme and restore from my last nandroid backup.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] grifforama:
**UPDATE

I just flashed my nandroid backup and they are not duped any more.

Weird.
