thats not right, because i changes that line
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Ysos3rious:
Thanks!!.. But I don't have any of the 2.1 wall papers or anything... Did I do something wrong?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
Ya, you probably did because you are supposed to have them.

long tap the screen for like 5 seconds then tap wallpapers then tap live wallpapers. they should be in there
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cornelious1212:
I just flashed the ROM, should I reboot, boot into recovery and then flash the googlebits? Or can I just flash googlebits right away?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Vrekk:
I did it right away with no problems
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
flash google bits right after you flash the rom. read the first post and you'll understand why
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Ysos3rious:
I haven't flashed the Google **** on top yet?.. Is all of that located in that .zip?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
Lol, you guys are making me laugh so hard calling it google ****. no, the live wallpapers are in the main rom

[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
wait, let me try to root my phones shell, so i can see if you are a normal case
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrinehart93:
Quick question, what does "asu" mean in regards to signal strength? Because mine always says 0, where in 1.5 it would fluctuate between different numbers.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] linkinx64:
I can;t get to recovery, I can boot to android
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
Guys, thats just the way the update-script is written. I tried to make it as authentic cyanogenmod as possible, and thats what the update-script wanted to do. deleting **** it fine.

also you are getting that error for installing both the no opengl kernels?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
adb reboot recovery
[Hero CDMA Android Development] linkinx64:
it takes me to the black screen with HTC that's it

I've never used a non-sense rom, and i really miss the keyboard. this will help so much. I also miss the facebook interconnectedness/syncing with all the contacts.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
ok, so could you again give me all the steps you did to reroot your phone so i can better help you?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] linkinx64:
Just Auto-Root from Fresh
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Luyz8:
It works!! thanks mate you're awesome really :D:D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
Why, that tries to flash a recovery image when you already have one if i am not mistaken. ****. can adb even see the device? i think you may need to ruu
[Hero CDMA Android Development] linkinx64:
Dang...:( ok doing ruu :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] topherthehidden:
ok kernal works as do lwp but im still only getting 2 bars max on the signal thing. havnt checked gps yet
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrinehart93:
It's ok that it flashes a recovery image. The only thing that matters is if he checked "with Google" or not on the auto-rooter. He could've had problems from that.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] topherthehidden:
has anyone else done a speed test with this rom? im getting significantly less 3g(evdo) speeds. anyone else?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
You're fine with using the the kitchen to root the actual phone, but dont go and use it again after you already rooted. after that you have to do it semi-manually with asroot2 to gain your phones system shell root access
[Hero CDMA Android Development] linkinx64:
I did not check the Google button, anyawy I am RUU :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrinehart93:
I haven't but the speeds at which apps download from the Market are significantly slower.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] linkinx64:
I noticed the same
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
significantly slower? man, i thought it was downloaded apps faster when i was comparing it a 1.5 rom. you guys can always use wifi to download apps if you don't like the 3g speed

GODDAMNIT!! I failed at spelling calendar
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gernade23:
If this rom supports app2sd do I need to manually enable it or is it supposed to automatically start working? I just reformatted my mem card again just to make sure it was properly partitioned and I still haven't had any luck? I'm down to 10mb of internal space already haha. =(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] linkinx64:
LMAO man, how do you do that?

hahaha, that is the question. LOL
[Hero CDMA Android Development] david279:
it worked okay on the first release of the rom.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mike2o6:
Just wonder does the phones home screen not rotate anymore?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
its not working anymore?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
I don't remember if it ever did. haha sorry
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mike2o6:
Oh you had it working in 2.0.1 but when I think about it they are different rom's lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] david279:
nope. i get a error 'e2fsck not found'
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
ahh, i see. It seems i left it out when getting the cyanogen 2.1 binaries over onto my rom. copy this into /system/bin and give it executable permissions. http://www.4shared.com/file/227137726/b2a0f19b/e2fsck.html

adb push e2fsck /system/bin
adb shell
cd /system/bin
chmod a+x e2fsck
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrinehart93:
hey darch, you asked about this awhile back (the signal icons), and they're still not showing more than 2. Anyway I can fix this? Or do you know how to fix it?

I think it's already fixed. I mean i've been getting n3 and 4 bars pretty consistently when i'm outside

This morning I took my phone off the usb at 11am didn't surf or text. I had to charge again at 5pm. I put it to charge at 5pm it was fully charged by 9pm I been surfing the web since 9PM now its 11:25pm the phone it at 70%. I noticed if I charge the phone via usb it drains faster than when I charge via outlet. Did anyone else notice it also or is it just me. :p

I got to say loving this rom it is quicker than the prior release. Great job keep it up.:)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
thats not a bad mode. hmm. try chmod 777 e2fsck. I know its a gaudy way to fix it, because it gives it r+w+x permissions, but it should be sufficient
[Hero CDMA Android Development] topherthehidden:
new to me :P thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] david279:
Now it telling me

Flac Support

Thanks a lot darchstar for the great rom. I was reading that cyanogen was including flac support in his roms and I see that your version does indeed recognize flac files but reports an invalid file type when you try to play them in the default media player. There is one flac player on xda (not in the market for download) that works with the hero and it does play flac files on your rom. I was wondering if you might know how to get the flac files playing in the default android music player. Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] VoXHTC:
kernel 2 breaks the Gallery. Pics aren't viewable, I'm assuming thats the give/take with that particular kernel?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
try remounting /system/sd

adb shell
umount /system/sd
mount /system/sd
a2sd
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
yup, thats exactly what the give/take is.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
Ok, ya, i'll try to see if i can integrate it into the music app

Is anyone having problems with the wireless tether? When I go to start it says unable to start tethering. Please try later.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
This is compiled from 2.1 sources so you best believe this is 2.1. The leaked. Hacked sense rom is 2.0.1 not this one. This Is legit 2.1
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mike2o6:
Im having the same issue! =(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
im gonna be honest i have had alot less problems out of this rom by keeping the old kernel with open gl. idk if you can find it but darch posted a zip right before this last one that still required you to flash google**** and that kernel had open gl 1.0 which runs gallery and my wifi and wifi tether and MT work perfectly.

just a heads up if anyone doesnt like the new update.

Do step 7-10 to change su program, it should resolve this issue.

If it can not be resolved, then do all the steps.

1:

adb push asroot2 /data/local/

2:

adb shell

3:

chmod 0755 /data/local/asroot2

4:

/data/local/asroot2 /system/bin/sh

[/INDENT]

You should see an output that says:

$ /data/local/asroot2 /system/bin/sh

[+] Using newer pope_inode_info layout

Opening: /proc/857/fd/3

SUCCESS: Enjoy the shell.

Now for a few last commands.

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

6:

cd /system/bin

7:

mv su su.old

8:

cat sh > su

9:

chmod 4755 su

10:

adb shell reboot

[GUIDE] How To Root The Sprint CDMA Hero (Windows)

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=4930043
[Hero CDMA Android Development] RVDigital:
Sorry, I've been off for a little while. Just an update...

I flashed the current release listed on the front page (02.21.2010 Framework OGL ES Lite | No ****s or LWP) and I am happy to report success as the ROM is operating as stated. I have had NO issues with MarketPlace App Installs or Downloads (Screaming fast with 7+ at a time), and the ROM seems MUCH faster. Happy to see SetCPU is working properly now and I am looking forward to posting battery results tomorrow from the Standby under clocking.

To those complaining about signal strength bars, make an outbound call and watch the bars as the call connect. Mine go full once the call begins (I am near a "tower" too). Looks solid to me.

darchstar, you sir are a gentlemen and a scholar. Many thanks for all of the work from all devs involved!

Suggestion/Question: Does anyone know a place we can setup a Wiki for this ROM to minimize alot of the repetitive questions and to keep things a little more centralized?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
Is there any possible way to get all of ones contacts from "outlook" to google....so I can have all my contact back on my phone without having to put them in one by one...?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rockcrawler:
export a .csv from outlook for your contacts and then import it into google contacts. Then run googles duplicate contact finder to get rid of any dup's.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gu1dry:
A) This is not the thread to ask this in. This thread is for the development of a ROM, not random chit chat.

B) This is a question that has been asked numerous times on XDA. There's a search tool, please use it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Malefickus:
I don't know if anyone has noticed, but video playback on this ROM isn't working. I have videos I recorded while under the stock 1.5 that came on the phone, and after the upgrade to this ROM, I get the audio and maybe the first 2 frames, but then the video stops and the audio keeps playing.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
Thank you very much....your knowledge was uber helpful in lighting my way :D:):D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
I updated the new ROM.....and the gallery works, but "we all know" that hitting home to get out of it freezes the phone up. Darch says that "hitting the back button" works. One other (from what I've read) has tried this and it worked for him/her.

Twice now I have tried to simply hit the back button and it freezes with a distorted screen. Anyone else having issues with backing out of gallery.

Other than that...it's crazy fast and beautiful!!! :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
Thank you! Now this is what I call a productive member of XDA :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
Yup....just tried one of my videos out and it played the first few frames and then stop, although the audio kept playing. Odd.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] XAnimal:
Not a bad Idea, I'm gonna flash this but as my phone is my only source of internet atm, I've been trying to read the thread and find the fixes to everything I need to do, apps2sd, etc, and a list of fixes and how to for this rom in one place instead of 100+ pages would be an awesome thing
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Malefickus:
Hitting back instantly takes me back to the home screen, virtually no delay whatsoever. As you said, crazy fast and beautiful.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ktynchy1:
Can anyone answer this, please???
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
Yeah, I'm gonna try a wipe then flash the new ROM over again. We aren't adding anything to this new one...correct?? No rerooting nessesary? No Google ****z...? Just flash the ROM......?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
I can download apps just fine from the market place through the new updated ROM.....(I believe it was updated earlier today)

I just downloaded it an hour or so ago.....I'm only having trouble with the gallery and video playback.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] akijikan:
its been covered many times in this thread
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gmelchert:
try downloading something, and when it doesnt download, restart your phone and check the notifications. worked for me on other roms but I do not have this problem on this one
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ktynchy1:
sorry but i quoted the wrong question:confused:

What i mean to ask was that i cant use Terminal Emulator on my phone on this kernel, i downloaded it after reroot and it force closed everytime i opened it, and im asking because it wasnt included in this last version and it was in previous ones
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ebuechler3:
same here.... well kinda..... my youtube will play audio sometimes, and no video at all... my meridian player will play my saved vids though!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
Where did you get meridian player.....? The Market Place...? I downloaded the regular "videoplayer" from the market place....

Maybe I should try this meridian player...hmmmm.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ebuechler3:
meridian plays mp4, and its a great player.... from the marketplace
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ebuechler3:
"gps signal lost" is what i keep getting 100 percent of the time.... is there any fixes for this?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
whoops, sorry. i forgot to add it in. push this to /system/app. it should then be in dev tools
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kkruse:
If you have an exchange server you can migrate outlook contacts via touchdown from the market. The demo should work for this.just turn the option on
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ImmortalLuD:
Thanks darchstar for your awesome work! Everything is running great, and I can't wait to see what other tricks you have up your sleeve!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jayjay7411:
I got a question for yu darch. any chance you will releaae a update with root access already for us that dont know how to abd push and all that? i would really appreciate it and you still need that donqte tab lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] deadonarivalry:
Def keeping a close eye on this ROM. can't do any flashing now... I'm at school, but prob will try later if I don't have too much homework.

But WOW. GREAT work darchstar. Thanks a million for giving us CDMA users some 2.1 love. REAL 2.1. Not that toast/flipz/maejrep and all those guys' ROM isn't GREAT because it is and I love Sense, but been looking forward to a real 2.1 ROM.
