copy the boot.img to your sdcard, then go into recovery then flash the boot.img from commandline

adb reboot recovery
adb shell
flash_image boot /sdcard/boot.img

Sorry i can't give any more support than that as flipz hasn't officially released the boot.img yet
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kenfly:
i mean the one that didnt have the opengl that you provided. how do i put that in?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
just flash it as you would a regular rom
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kenfly:
rename to update.zip and install as update?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
theres no need to rename it, but if that makes you feel more secure, fine. doesn't matter
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kenfly:
ok thanks for the help and future reference =]
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PRGUY85:
Hope Flip/Toast releases their .29 kernel to integrate it to this ROM. Sense is great but I really prefer the artwork on Stock right now as well as the extra RAM. Also, if they do so, we should get protected apps working here right?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kenfly:
is it just me or when i try to intereact with the nexus lwp, the animation appears off to the right of the screen when it should be where i tap it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
yea, that'd be great, but looking at people's post here regarding the new kernel, it seems the touch screen just flat out does not work on aosp with the .29 kernel...

no, it's not just you. Idk what the issue is with that yet
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Gregalous:
Worse case scenario, the official 2.1 update is supposed to come out this month so everything should (hopefully) work by the end of the month...

I'm being optimistic of course :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrinehart93:
Have the battery and signal issues in this ROM been fixed yet? I REALLY need an AOSP ROM that has SMS working and is maintained! I want to use the DarkStar theme 100% with this :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
SInce when were there battery and sms and signal issues?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrchu001:
i cant wait to see where this rom goes once flipz/toast releases the .29 kernal!

i'm so excited!!!! :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Pimpinmane:
I'm running your most recent version, but I'm not sure I tested my gps issue on it. I will give it a try tomorrow. I appreciate the work as this has been my favorite rom to date.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] asapelectric:
I'm sorry for wasting space, but I just got to say again, this ROM is pretty great. Yeah, camera and video, but other than that, I can't complain. Might I add for Darchstar, I like the style or designs and don't miss Sense AT ALL.:D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
Once flipz and toast release their new rom, i'm gunna to the best of my abilities try to implement the .29 kernel into this rom. Dont you worry :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] asapelectric:
I'm all for functionality, I just don't really want anything to change backwards on the style. But... it's your deal. Where that donate button?:rolleyes: You know you really shouldn't wait on that, I might not have any money later.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] feefeeboomboom:
Can I get the old phone.apk please? I pushed the updated contacts.apk but I still have the filing issue.

Thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
do you have an older version of my rom? just push the contacts.apk from it to /system/app and you should be good.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrinehart93:
The battery seemed to drain sort of quick for me and a few other people, and the signal always showed 0 asu, and never went above 2 bars in strength.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
What do you mean backwards in style?

also, about the donate button, it's not like i've been ignoring everybody in regards to that, it's just i never had the time to make one. I'll try to get a donate button soon
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
Thats all been fixed. with the latest release
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrinehart93:
Excellent darch! Looks like I'm going to be downloading now :)

EDIT

I've been reading about JIT lately. I just googled it and came across an article stating that it will increase the performance speed of apps... is this true? Has anyone noticed any good/bad side effects between using JIT or not using it?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chubbzlou:
When I used JIT I did see little difference in the loading of the apps but nothing to go crazy over. So with it or with out it you will enjoy this rom it is best out. Once the camera is working it would be my daily rom.

Nice and clean.

I really like AOSP stock look. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrinehart93:
I'll take whatever speed enhancements I can get out of my phone :) But there were no excess battery drains or w/e from using it? By the way, you HAVE to try the Darkstar theme. Android looks like 50x more slick with it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chubbzlou:
I didn't notice the battery drain. No I did not I will thought once I install the rom again tomorrow. That theme is really nice.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrinehart93:
Hey Darch, can you help me get the DarkStar theme running on your ROM? The flash goes OK, but then on the boot, after the HTC screen, the screen just goes black and stops booting. I'm still able to do "adb reboot recovery" through my computer though.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] emerica6541:
i ported that theme for 1.5 if you give me a lil ill see what i can do about it with this rom
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrinehart93:
Aww thanks emerica! I would really appreciate that! I just can't stand using a ROM without that theme on it... it literally makes the phone feel completely different.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] asapelectric:
I like the contacts, phone, lock screen, icons, calendar, clock, email, settings controls on home, nav launcher, everything is different. Maybe it's AOSP or Desire ROM characteristics .( Or whatever that ROM was u pulled it from.) I know I like it %150 better than the other 2.1s.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrcharlesiv:
I've been trying to port it over myself but I still don't understand enough... I'm excited!

If I were to flash the new boot.img from Flipz' new release to this ROM would I mess anything up?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] justinisyoung:
yes, the touchscreen, and more stuff too.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrcharlesiv:
Yeah I figured. Thanks man.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] justinisyoung:
what i did was just adb push launcher2.apk to the rom. it isn't perfect, but it works well. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrcharlesiv:
I've already done that.. I just wanted to get the camera working.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] emerica6541:
when i tried to use the nfl mobile live widget it said its only avaliable for sprint customers
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
this is based off GSM source.

i have this problem with sprint tv. darchs next rom wont be gsm based so no problems. as of now though theres no workaround :/
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
I think i should be clearer about what i post. This is pretty much jnwhiteh's cyanogenmod rom with many fixes i made to get it to work on our hero's thats what i meant when i first said gsm source. sorry for that confusion. The reason i'm deciding to compile from source is so my rom can truly be darchdroid. I recently got everything to compile and boot so i may release it a few days after fresh 2.0 gets released, to incorporate camera and everything with it. Though I'm a little weary whether mms will be able to be working with this rom until there is a fix upstream in cyanogen's eclair tree.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] catpunt:
FYI just flashed flipz's updated radio over DarchDroid, seems to be running fine without issues.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] motoridersd:
I love this ROM. I keep flashing the latest Sense roms to see what's new but keep coming back to AOSP as my daily ROM.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrchu001:
i do too!

i really cant wait for the camera and MMS to start working
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Tipharet:
Yeah the android keyboard is tons better than HTC's. It completely changed my experience with this device, I can actually use the android kb. Plus the word prediction doesnt get in the way.

Do any of you know how to install the android KB on a sense ROM?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] catpunt:
me too, this rom works great and i much prefer it to the sense 2.1 roms.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] motoridersd:
I agree. The android keyboard has made the device a lot more usable for me. I hate the intrusive word prediction on the HTC keyboard, which is why I always disable it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] th350urc3:
exchange bug -

Which version of my rom are you using: darchdroid v1

Whats the Problem: Exchange email setup only allows to sync contacts, mail but no calendar appointments

What did you expect to happen: ability to select synchronize appointments, as well as contacts and email

What were the steps in which you encountered this problem: during the initial setup and afterwards adding a new exchange account

Did You Wipe: I've tried wiping and adding new roms , other rom version, for example fresh 2.0, does have this ability. Re flashing with darchdroid v1 does not fix the issue

What did your logcat say (make a logcat.txt by issuing this command "adb logcat -d > logcat.txt" and attach it to post):

What version of recovery are you using: no recovery
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Agimax:
I would like to know also! I have been trying to get the Voice to text working on the sense build, and as far as ive gotten is the option for a voice keboard to show up in the keyboard settings, but can't seem to get the button on the keyboard to start it. I didn't have luck with installing a secondary keyboard either, it just wipes out all the keyboards. I just need more free-time to get further.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] andyjbmiller:
Best ROM available

I want to just take the time and say that i think this is the best rom available. I hate sense UI and think HTC raped the android OS.This is currently my daily user. I tried other roms to get full mms and camera but had to come back. Thank you Darch for doing such a good job on this ROM and can not wait for a fix with camera and mms.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sm_x:
me too, I would say I tried every rom out for the hero, and this is the only one I keep coming back to. what makes it better is Darch's dedication. This might be the only rom with as many updates. I remember at one point there was a release every day.

Thank you Darch for the great ROM, keep it up.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Ysos3rious:
Yeah When the Camera and MMS start working on this one.. this will be my daily Rom again... !!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Ysos3rious:
Agreed X2;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] xtkxhom3r:
*patiently waits for new rom* :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] toastcfh:
@ darch

are u having issues with touch screen?

btw i seen ur post a few pages back about starting to compile ur rom from source. good call man. alot of good things come from doing it that way. the sensors u got from our build is actually modded aosp source. quietcblongs actually got it halfway working and i just came in and compiled with a different header file and got things fully working. but yeah most issues can be solved by having source. im glad to see ur getting deep in this stuff. goosd luck.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] icm714:
i have to say that the flipz rom was a disappointment for me. facebook sync wasnt working, reboot made me sign in every time, browser always closed after being on it for 10 min, and i couldnt get adb to work for me, just all around wasnt really for me hopefully when darch get the kernal non of these will float over
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ricersniper:
im running Darch and my finance is running flipz. i am so much happier with mine over hers. this rom just plain runs better. i can forgo the camera until we get the official release.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
I just got home and haven't had the opportunity to try out the boot.img from yours and flipz rom. Seems from some of the people who pm'ed me that the touchscreen doesn't work... I have no idea right now whats up with that, lol. Have you tried playing around with it on my rom?

And yes, compiling android from source has been very enlightening.I would encourage anybody that wants to make an aosp derived rom to do it from source. It just gives you the proper feeling that this indeed is your rom once your compilation finishes and you get it to boot.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MagnusRagnarok:
Why does fresh 2.1 look like 1.5?

Why is the sense version so different?If i thought i was flashing 1.5 i would not have even wasted my time. I love sense and i STILL had to nandroid back to my darchdroid after these new sense with cam.No offense to everyones hard work on Fresh,it just seems like the old system, just faster. Darchdroid has ALL the goodies,and what i thought 2.1 was SUPPOSED to be. Within the past 3 days i have went from everyday gumbo, to a darch pro. Why wouldnt we get a NEW version of sense? The 2.1 sense roms were very disappointing. Looks like i have a new everyday. Thanks alot DARCH,you sir, are awesome!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] catpunt:
I feel exactly the same!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] toastcfh:
yep brother welcome to devin :D here we go lol :p well once i found the issue like 3 nights ago i went on a mission for u :p and well came up a little short. :( anyhow as of the minute i do not have a solution. somethings me and another well known dev quietcblongs have found that ur build is not alone in this. as of the second all 2.x aosp builds will have this issue. another thing found is that if u "cat /dev/input/event1" (fyi event1 = synaptics touch) in a htc build. ull find everytime u touh the screen u get a bunch of bull@#$% in ur terminal. <<<good thing :D but if u do it in aosp nothing happens <<< bad thing :( now if ur build is in debug mode and u go to looking at logcat instead. ull see that when u touch the screen all is good. no errors no "hey look at me im trashed" no nothing from the norm. u even see the touch events taking place when u touch. hmmm strange i know. hard to debug without an error. but i got a theory... i decided to take the frameworks.jar today and baksmali that sucker, along with the one from my old build (btw all is good in it with touch). then i went in and found the out/android/inputmethodservice and was like woot. anyhow this is where i thin=k the issue is. i ran a diff on this directory and there is alot differant from an htc build of 2.x compared to aosp. now this is just my theory im gonna give it a shot to see if it works if not. it back to the drawing board :( . feel free to give it a shot. the main issue that stuck out to me was in the grep id see stuff like this:

ur aosp < .catchall {:try_start_1 .. :try_end_a} :handler_10

---

my old htc > .catchall {:try_start_1 .. :try_end_a} :catchall_10

ur aosp < .catch Landroid/os/RemoteException; {:try_start_0 .. :try_end_5} :handler_6

---

my old htc > .catch Landroid/os/RemoteException; {:try_start_0 .. :try_end_5} :catch_6

notice anything funny?!?! maybe urs says handler mine says catchall ?!?!

idk well this is just one of the major differances i found. if i were u id jump on it. i think maybe fixing these may do the trick. idk though. it may take more.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] JustShim:
I'm in the same boat. I kinda feel bad, like I abandoned darch. Luckily I backed up, so I will just act like none of this ever happened... :rolleyes:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ebuechler3:
I've tried all of the 2.1s, and I'm back on this great rom again, I just can't remember how I got the gallery to work 100%. Any fix?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
Hey man, thanks for the pointer. It definitely does get very tricky when you see no debug info in logcat or anything. so what you're saying i do is replace handler in those lines with catchall? that sounds too easy to be true.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] toastcfh:
Actually that s my bad. I didn't realize I had baksmali my old build with an older version of baksmali. That's why I got the hadler stuff on one and not the other. But there were other unsmali related issues that I believe could be the issue. That I found in that diff
[Hero CDMA Android Development] roundaway:
Battery Useage

Been using this great rom since it was cyanogen-darch and been lovin' AOSP. My battery life, IMO, hasn't been great - meaning a plug in every night. Originally I had SetCpu configured for a msm7k turbo device, max/min 528/245, and onedemand. Changed the configured device to msm7k and left the other settings alone. Still didn't see an improvement in battery life. Yesterday I uninstalled SetCpu and believe it has made a positive impact. Partially charged the phone during the day and went to bed with 72% remaining. This morning 65% remaining which tells me the phone went to sleep and reduced CPU cycles. The only other change was installing the Eric based radio, 2.41.04.02.02.

Is SetCpu really "required" with the great gbhil 2.x kernels? Believe his have fixed the problems experienced in the donut builds.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DarrenD2:
Is anyone else having problems installing the latest Facebook update with this Rom?

I have Facebook 1.1 installed now, works fine.

The market shows an update for version 1.1.2.

When I attempt to install the update, the installation fails with a message "Package file was not signed correctly."

It's been available for 2 days, so I'm assuming the error description is not accurate, and the package is signed correctly by Facebook; otherwise they would have issued a corrected package.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] quietcblongs:
The HTC .29 Hero kernel presents multi-touch events differently. You can see this if you enable the debugging in services/java/com/android/server/KeyInputQueue.java on line 509, change the if (false) there to if (true), and you will see that the framework is getting events from the kernel, but the scancode and values are out of whack.

When you touch the screen, the framework is expecting 0x35 and 0x36 for the X and Y scancodes (see core/java/android/view/RawInputEvent.java). This kernel, however, is sending 0x39 and 0x3A for the scancodes, which are not defined in RawInputEvent. Second, the values sent from the kernel are off by a lot (turn on debugging and you'll see), as if they need a offset and/or conversion factor. So even if you fudge the inbound event scancode so that the it matches up (just subtract four), the values will be out of the range detected by the synaptics driver.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] toastcfh:
It's possible we need to continue the backporting of the .29 camera drivers to .27. I did testing lastnight on how the .29 camera driver goes about working. I ended up noticing vfetask in .29 also fails to start before write. So it throws out the door all I assumed was wrong with maejrep's backport of the driver. I did however notice other things that could be causing the issue. I'll look more into it in the days to come
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kenfly:
i get this error too
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
Try deleting the facebook data in /data/data

adb shell rm -r /data/data/*katana*

then try reinstalling it

ya, this seems like the most feasible option to take right now, well maybe once sprint releases their official build the kernel may be a bit more generous than this desirec leaked kernel
[Hero CDMA Android Development] toastcfh:
this isnt a desirec kernel. this is a heroc kernel that was actually compiled the day after the desirec was. strange huh? yeah flipz's 2.0b is actually a build that was made(or compiled) the day after the eris rom was. the kernel is a heroc kernel though. or else it wouldnt boot.

but yeah its just my opinion. but i dont think Sprints release kernel will be any different. it seems they are pushin towards making their hardware work on only their builds. kinda proprietary way of thinking in my eyes. its obvious that they didnt have to compile the synaptics driver this way. as i backported the .29 synaptics driver with ease and it works perfectly. why they did it this way is beyond me. in my eyes it was really uncalled for. but thats big biz for ya.

but... this whole camera deal is a pain and my skills are limited. backporting some single drivers is one thing. but all of the audio and video is another. not to mention in .27 we use qdsp5_comp and in .29 they merged it all into qdsp5. granted qdsp5 is in .27 but it still isnt much help as they merged these two directories into one super directory.

idk... a pain i do know. i havent given up though. i knew we would be back to using .27. as a hacked kernel with source is way better then a stock kernel with none. obviously this is the case in this event. all can say is to try what quiet just mentioned. no matter what the route things are gonna get deep to fix it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DarrenD2:
The *katana* didn't work, so I used:

rm -r /data/data/com.facebook.katana

Still no luck on the reinstall, and now no facebook. Going back to my nandroid backup.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dphase:
Delete it from Settings -> Applications then do the market install.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DarrenD2:
Thanks. That worked.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrchu001:
so where is the progress going with this rom?

i heard there was no touchscreen when using the boot.img that enables camera?

i'd love to see this thing become completed or at least improved :]
[Hero CDMA Android Development] asapelectric:
Second that! :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrchu001:
as soon as this gets camera/camcorder and mms then i'd be completely satisfied! :]
[Hero CDMA Android Development] catpunt:
love the rom --

question though, does anyone else get a bunch of SMS from sprint when someone leaves a voicemail? is there some way to turn this off? i tried installing vvm but that didn't filter them out.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] johnsongrantr:
is .29 with camera, video, and stuff being worked into v5?

sounds like it's being worked on, just curious for an update, love this rom ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Aridon:
2.1 asop has me sold. Love the Rom but I need the camera, mms, and would prefer YouTube working so I need to wait for the next version. That said, simply amazing work sir. It makes sense feel like a bloated mess, especially the 2.1 versions floating around. Can't wait to see this completed with YouTube working properly, flash, mms, camera and whatever little tweaks you make.

Did anyone else get about 5 second lag from sleep until the nexus launcher page and swiping would work? Didn't happen with the other launcher and I didn't use live wall papers.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] johnsongrantr:
yea someone about halfway in this thread has a launcher2.apk you have to push manually that fixes this.

I am also EXTREMELY hooked on a new home replacement I found called Home++ beta... it's super slic, really fast, highly recommended

setup is home++ & beautiful widgets with transparency skin and bloodwax font
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
nah, i haven't gotten any messages lately. Have you tried changing your vm # in settings

unless whatever htc/sprint officially releases has a kernel that doesn't spazz out touch screen, then it'll be a .27 kernel that we can somehow get touchscreen to work... or maybe htc will release source to its .29 kernel when it officially releases 2.1. So ya, thats status on the camera so far

Youtube works just fine. set the quality to high when watching a video on youtube so it displays the video properly
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Aridon:
Well thank you both. I got audio and no video for the most part and didn't even think to try HQ. Thanks :)
