push the gumbo.sh file too? or will that make any difference in testing?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gbhil:
NP. Gotta keep the wife happy.

Load up Neocore, but don't start it. Go back home and force sync anything and everything you can. Gmail, contacts and calendar are the most important. Once sync starts, switch back and run Neocore. The numbers may suck, but I just need to know if sync works just like it should.

IMO it will. The questionable kernel was the openGL one.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gbhil:
Yes. If it needs pushed push it, but unless you're wiping it should be there already.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] regaw_leinad:
Yeah im flashing this rom now lol it'll be a sec
[Hero CDMA Android Development] regaw_leinad:
and what results do you want us to post? just neocore?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ziggy682:
Darchstar, I can confirm that the 3D gallery included in your ROM does not work with multitouch. I just did a fresh wipe, installed the ROM, and tested multitouch in the gallery before changing anything else, and it did not work.

I removed the original apk from the phone, and pushed the Gallery3DMT.apk (after renaming it Gallery3D.apk) to /system/app and now multitouch works perfectly in the gallery.

Just a heads up for your next build.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] regaw_leinad:
and I can't find neocore lol... where is it?

EDIT:

spelled it neocorr in search in market :p duh
[Hero CDMA Android Development] f00kie:
in marketplace ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Vrekk:
Ok with the lwp kernel, I got a score of 2.6 fps when neocore was done.

Btw the time neocore was done the sync was done.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
Ahh, i keep forgetting i'm running my own testing personal rom right now when i see people report a problem or missing feature. lol. ok i'll include it. but for now yuo can use the mt app in this thread
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TheBiles:
Just curious, but would it be possible to get the HTC Calendar widgit on this ROM? I don't know if it is its own entitiy or completely linked to Sense.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] regaw_leinad:
I got 2.7fps w/ sound on

and same, by the time neocore was done, so was the sync.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gbhil:
Just need to know if sync finishes, or if you get a popup or toast notification with any errors.

2.6 lol. I thought it would be a bit higher, but it's good news. I'm not certain if Neocore will use more memory and cpu cycles with openGl or without, but in any case it works both ways.

that means i can go even higher :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chubbzlou:
Thanks

I figure that 3d was for the MT and gumbo.su was for task killer just wanted to make sure.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ziggy682:
Concerning the GPS, specifically while using Google Maps Navigation, it still loses a signal constantly. I tested it driving around today, and it was a no go. Even while sitting still at my house, it will say "GPS Signal Lost". Sometimes it will reacquire the signal, and sometimes it won't until you exit, and reenter the program.

Anyway, I played around with the gps.conf file, and I think I have found a setting that works better. Originally, the "QOS_ACCURACY" was set at 16, and that didn't work. In this ROM, it's set to 3, and I still have the issues described above. However, when I set "QOS_ACCURACY" to 1, it seems to work flawlessly from my (very) limited testing.

This was tested on a fresh wipe + flash. I have only tested it sitting in my house, and it hasn't lost the GPS signal once. I can't guarantee that this is a fix until I test it in the car tomorrow, but it seems positive. If anyone else would like to test out this fix, please download the file, rename it "gps.conf", and push it to /etc and /system/etc.

Edit: I have confirmed that this change does not fix the GPS issues in Google Navigation. The issues still exist, please disregard information in this post, and I have removed the file.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Tikerz:
My brother just flashed the flipz Eclair 2.1 ROM and called me using his bluetooth headset.

Do we know what it is that makes bluetooth work for calls on that ROM that can help us get bluetooth working on this one?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
No, this has no ties whatsoever with htc sense.

Sweet. Thanks man. I'll test it out tomorrow :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gbhil:
I'm out guys. Thanks for the tests.

Darch - mark the last kernel I sent you as a stable beta version. I'm going to do some more tweaking and I'll send ya a new alpha tomorrow.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
Ok, ya for sure. I'll include it in my next rom :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
BT works on flipz 2.0.1 sense build because it has HTC framework that communicates with BT to get it to work. I'm building an AOSP rom, which is currently having troubles communicating with BT during calls.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Tikerz:
Understood, thanks. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ricersniper:
the link to e2fsck is dead. any help would be appreceated!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
check the first post, i updated the link :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ricersniper:
thank you very much! :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mike2o6:
Anyone got the Launcher.Apk from the AOSP rom I want to try loading it onto the 2.0.1 =)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
I don't think there is a launcher2.apk floating around anywhere compatable with 2.0.1....the 2.0.1 ROM has "a" nexus launcher.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrchu001:
Just out of curiousity.. what do you think will be in the next update? :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] akijikan:
This is my must have, but I've been tolerating the issues because this ROM is the ****.

Thanks for the progress. I will test it out some tonight and get back in a bit.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] daviss:
To add to this, prior to the versions on post 1 I had terrible problems with GPS using Google Navigation. It would constantly loose signal. However, I just went for a drive about a hour or 2 ago and didn't loose signal once. For me, the way GPS is set now works great.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] icm714:
anyone else notice that you cant check your voicemail or is it me?

i press one and it goes to the boost mobile/virgin mobile voicemail system and io cant here the voicemails i have any suggestions
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 27s:
Search = Friend. Sprint Visual Voice Mail Does not work on anything but 1.5 right now. Use Google Voice. As far as the voicemail going to boost mobile, you need to go into settings and change the voicemail number to your phone number.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] icm714:
i know the visual voice mail doenst work i wasnt asking about that i was asking about the voicemail in general i didnt know about the settings ty for letting me know about that
[Hero CDMA Android Development] akijikan:
I switched to google voice for voice mail and haven't had any problems with that.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gernade23:
Has anyone had any luck with apps2sd yet? Me and Watzone69 got it to work but it doesn't seem to stick once you reboot the phone. Would love to download more of the new android 1.6+ apps but running outta space haha.

p.s. I know it's off topic so I apologize but since people are talking about it I figured I would ask. Does anyone have any google voice invites? Been waiting for a while and still haven't got one! =P
[Hero CDMA Android Development] athlet1c:
GPS worked flawless tested out for more 2.5 hours doing a trip
[Hero CDMA Android Development] akijikan:
with the new gps.conf pushed, or just the ROM on the first post as it is?

also are you talking about google navigation in particular? that's what the problem has been.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] athlet1c:
Sorry for the Lack of Clarification. I used the Google Navigation in the Rom listed in post as is.......
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ebuechler3:
i used freshs kitchen to push gallery.apk to the phone... how can i uninstall the original apk? it wont let me. thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ebuechler3:
sorry, pushing gallery.apk with freshs kitchen over the roms gallery must have overwrote original one, cause it works!! thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] daviss:
I should clarify my post above as well. Google Navigation works flawlessly for me without the new gps.conf pushed also.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ebuechler3:
should i push it to system/app, system lib, system media, or system framework? "etc and / system/etc" isnt one of freshs options... i apologize for my misunderstanding with this... And after my gps is fixed, i will be happy, until official 2.1 is released w camera, mms, and etc... thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] akijikan:
I am sorry to say that after driving around for about 30 minutes and testing the new gps.conf, I did not see any improvement in google navigation. It still dropped the signal after about 30-40 seconds and had trouble finding it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] akijikan:
I don't know what you mean by "freshs options" we're talking about using the adb to push files to the phone's file system in the directories specified.

attach device to computer in usb debugging mode

go to c:\android-sdk-windows\tools (if that's where you placed the sdk when you rooted)

copy gps.conf to c:\android-sdk-windows\tools

open a command line (start > run > cmd) and type the following commands

cd c:\android-sdk-windows\tools
adb remount
adb push gps.conf /etc/
adb push gps.conf /system/etc/
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ebuechler3:
i think i rooted via sd card, not the other way.... the instructs were confusing to me baaack then
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ebuechler3:
and i have a new computer, old one died, so can i just plug in my phone, go to c prompt and enter those commands? or do i need to download some type of android sdk to my computer? thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrchu001:
you need to download the android sdk and use that with the commands.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] durhamite:
I did a test last night just to make sure I wasn't crazy. I charged my phone to 100% then took it off the charger and went to bed at 10:30 (yeah, I am old). Woke up at 7:00 and checked the phone and my battery was at 30%. I never touched it ALL night. I don't think this is normal battery drain. Anyone else experiencing this? Uptime says about 11 hours.

I have been following the thread and have seen post that they were getting good battery life and some said it wasn't so good but never seen a fix if any.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ziggy682:
Well thanks for testing it, like I said, I was fiddling with that file and that setting worked for me sitting at my house. I'm going to test it driving to work today. It seems like some people aren't having any issues with GPS, and some are.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ziggy682:
Yes, I've been getting very poor battery life as well. I took the phone off the charger yesterday at 8:00, used it for reading normal amounts of email, about 30 minutes of web browsing, 20 minutes of music, 5 minutes testing GPS, and 1 phone call. It was completely dead before 4:00, and I had to hook it up to my computer at work to charge it.

I have had battery issues like this with every version of this ROM. I think it might have something to do with the massive "Cell Standby" numbers in the battery usage meter. I know my phone always says it's right around 50% time searching for a tower. Also, the asu reading in the Signal Strength menu never changes from 0 asu. Darchstar thinks it's just a display bug, because he's not having battery problems. Where would we go about figuring out if the "Cell Standby" is actually causing battery drain, or if it's just a display bug and the battery is draining by something else?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chubbzlou:
Did you charge it via USB? If so charge it via the outlet. What I notice if I charge the phone with my outlet charger my battery last all day. I think the USB charge does not full charge the battery seems it just does a quick charge
[Hero CDMA Android Development] roundaway:
I understand there is no VVM and when receiving a voicemail there's the blinking notification light and a text message. The issue is getting Sprint voicemail. There's about 4 settings on the phone to configure. Settings>Call Settings>Voicemail Service -

My Carrier

; Settings>Call Settings>Voicemail Settings -

ten digit #;

Phone>Preferences>Voicemail Handler -

None (Dial Voicemail #);

Phone>Preferences>Use 1 for Regular Voicemail -

Checked

. If I press the number 1 to try and check voicemail a voice says the call can't be completed as dialed. In other words you can't check voicemail without dialing your phone number even though the phone is configured to dial 1. Try it and let me know if it can be duplicated.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] durhamite:
No, I charged it using the power cable.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chubbzlou:
Did you check to see what apps is running? Could be an app that killing the battery. Also DL the gumbo.su it kills active apps when it is on standby.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] durhamite:
This is the process I used last night.

Wipe (I think I was running the 2.0.1 nandroid backup. I got great battery performance from this ROM)

Re-downloaded the ROM from the first post and flashed it

rooted the shell

installed a few apps (tweetcaster, gowalla (didn't run this on though), quickboot)

saw the gumbo.su post and pushed that

let the phone charge to 100% using the ac adapter and then took it off the charger and went to bed. This morning I was at 30%. It is possible an app was running but I don't think it was. I have been getting poor batter life out of this ROM every since I started testing it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] RVDigital:
One thing that has helped me with Battery Life is to adjust the SetCPU profile for Standby to 160 Max and 19 Min. This FORCES the phone to do without additional processing power during this time. I still have no doubt that there is a process somewhere in your configuration that is not allowing the phone to sleep. This is a similar problem to the Messaging app that wasn't sleeping when the Sprint Hero was first released (stock ROM). Sprint had to push a ROM update to address the issue causing the awake time to plummet from 70%ish to under 7% during standby.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] durhamite:
I know what you are talking about with the messaging app. I will try the setCPU option and see if I have a rouge app running. Thanks for the help
[Hero CDMA Android Development] durhamite:
I just found a flaw in my test. wifi was left on ALL night. This may have been my problem. I will do this again tonight and make sure I turn the darn wifi off. Doesn't wifi suppose to sleep when the phone is sleep?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chubbzlou:
Battery life was bad on the prior. Build but it's fine with this build.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] CandyElephant:
When I try to push to /etc, I'm told that the directory does not exist. I'm able to push to /system/etc but not /etc. Any ideas?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ziggy682:
Everybody forget the gps.conf file that I posted. It worked great while stationary, but I tested it driving to work this morning, and Google Navigation still has the same issue with losing a signal. I will see if I can edit my previous post to remove any misinformation.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] networx2002:
can someone shoot me link to learn this stuff.

adb remount

adb push e2fsck /system/bin

adb shell

chmod a+x e2fsck

a2sd

reboot

[Hero CDMA Android Development] josue85:
Sorry to be OT, didn't want to start a new thread for a simple question...

I've been using this as my daily since release. Other than the already reported issues, and an occasional FC within the settings screen, it's been fantastic.

I have one question, I've seen others mention that they can view their sprint MMS messages online. I've searched high and low, and cannot find where to do this for the life of me. Can someone point me in the right direction?

P.S.

Apologies if this has been answered before, I usually search to find an answers I need, but I didn't find the right keywords for this one.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] KERKEDAGAIN:
it all starts w/ learning to root your phone the REAL way..once you download what's asked of you in step one, and follow what's mentioned in steps 4, 6, and 7; you can then input the above commands
[Hero CDMA Android Development] watzone69:
Nice try gernade23 but I think that:

A. No one is using apps2sd and it's not a priority.

B. People have it working but either don't know how they got it to work or aren't sharing.

C. People THINK it's working when it really isn't.

First, the "chmod a+x e2fsck" command doesn't work for me. I had to use "chmod 777 e2fsck". After entering "a2sd" it gets enabled. After rebooting, apps2SD is

NOT

enabled anymore. I realized this by doing this test:

adb shell
cd /data/app
pwd

If your apps2sd is enabled, you will get "/system/sd/app" returned to you.

If you get "/data/app" returned instead then apps2sd is NOT enabled!

EDIT: I know that all of this is a minor concern compared to the other things being worked on in this ROM and I really don't want to clutter this thread. If anyone else is interested in getting this working, maybe we should start a new thread or at least communicate via PM.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] david7586:
I have been trying to flash the no opengl kernel without any success. I am running the newest release (cyanogen-darchstar) Upon flashing the no opengl kernel from the first post (filename: noglkernel2-signed.zip) my hero will hang at the android boot screen. The android boot screen will reset and constantly loop.

I have tried flashing the zips all at once, in different orders, with wipes, etc and i cant get it to work.

Anyone have any insight? I seem to be having teh same issue that a select few are having in this thread, but I dont think a solution came out of it....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sleejay:
me too. i am eagerly waiting any help with this :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
Odd...I did all of that last night and it worked perfectly! Aside from the Gallery not working with the kernel.

Now is it the LWP you are seeking out of this ROM??...or would you be inclined to want or need - faster games/animations/effects...???

If it's the LWP then you are going about this the right way and installing (or trying to...) the no opengl kernel. If it is the faster games and such...you don't want the kernel at all and the latest updated ROM will suffice.

In the event that you can not manage to finangle a way to get the kernel ontop of this latest ROM...I have the version just prior to this newest one with all the LWP intact and no Kernel needed.

Just hit me up and I'll send it to you :) Hope it all works out!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] david7586:
hey konikub,

many thanks for the reply. I have some "stuttering" with the opengl kernel. i THINK i have an app that conflicts with the opengl kernel and when i unlock my phone, i notice its unresponsive (particularly launcher) for a while. i noticed when i was using teh older kernel...everything seemed to be fine.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sleejay:
can anyone help with this opengl bootloop :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] topherthehidden:
Hey guys I was wondering if there was a way to get the phone to auto rotate on the homescreen yet? i remember someone saying they were getting the settings from a different rom but i coulndt find a follow up. thanks in advance
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tyrnight:
Mine went away when I did the Gumbo.sh update..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ffolkes:
I think the latest version of this rom already has the gumbo.sh update. Or at least mine appears to...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tyrnight:
It does not

Follow this..

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5701403&postcount=1186

And don't forget to rename it to gumbo.sh
[Hero CDMA Android Development] akijikan:
Did you do

adb remount

before you started pushong gps.conf?

if noy that would be the problem but it looks moot since the author saud the gps.conf wasnt effective
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 5tr4t4:
/etc is just a soft link to /system/etc. Push to one or the other.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] corybucher:
I flashed this rom but now it is telling me that I don't have root. And suggestions would be much appreciated thanks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ffolkes:
Ah, I see what I did. I had flashed the non-opengl kernel, and apparently that does already include it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] akijikan:
That's what I always thought, but any instructions I read on pushing a new gps.conf specifically say to push it to both
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gbhil:
After you restart, can you re-enable a2sd by running a2sd from a terminal as root?

If so, do all your apps still appear and are they usable?

If the above is true, try adding this to the end of gumbo.sh

su -C a2sd

for a quick fix.

Start a thread (to keep things less cluttered) about it and I'll help you guys dig into the boot image and see why it's not sticking.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] menzo44:
im really confused why im getting this error? I follow the instructions above but I keep getting "cannot stat 'gumbo.sh' : No such file or directory"

I am not sure whats going on. I think I renamed it, but when I do it says file already exists... So im not sure. I opened it in notepad and saved it as gumbo.sh but like i said it says gumbo.sh.txt already exists. aaaaaahhhhh!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gbhil:
Save as type > All files (*.*) in notepad and you'll be able to name it gumbo.sh
[Hero CDMA Android Development] crunchybutternut:
When you're saving it from notepad, make sure it does not have the .txt extension at the end by choosing all file types instead of text.

Also, you can delete the extension from the file explorer on windows. (You might have to choose for Windows to show known file extension types to do this.

It can be done once it is on the phone as well through ASTRO, or ES File Explorer.

The name of the File has to be gumbo.sh, not gumbo.sh.txt.

P.S. If you need help showing file extensions I can tell you how.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tyrnight:
This is mentioned MANY times in this thread..

re-root.. and that fixes that..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] menzo44:
wow I could have sworn I did this first. I think my mind is fried. Anyway thank you it obviously worked :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ziggy682:
Gbhil, for me anyway, the gumbo.sh is not working, on boot the lowmemorykiller settings always go back to the default settings of "1536,2048,4096,5120,5632,6144". I can manually change them with the echo command, but they will always revert back to the default on reboot.

I have checked the gumbo.sh file, and it has the "Maximum free mem" line uncommented to use these settings "1536,3072,4096,21000,23000,25000". Is it just my phone, or is everyone else sure that the memory killer is loading on boot for them? I have also uninstalled SetCPU to make sure that wasn't changing anything on boot.

Can some other people run this from the shell after a fresh boot and see if I'm the only one this isn't working for?

cat /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree

Please see the attatched screenshot to show you what I mean. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Gregalous:
Confirmed.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ziggy682:
Confirmed that the aggressive memorykiller settings do survive a reboot, or that they don't?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Gregalous:
They do not survive a reboot. I ran the command you posted and I got the same numbers back that you did.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] menzo44:
me too.. Im getting the same results 1536,2048,4096,5120,5632,6144
