Check my sig.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] posguy99:
Define "better".
[Hero CDMA Android Development] HeroMeng:
Gonna try it out now. You never dissapoint, gbhil.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] amot:
Does it have a different layout/theme?

Does the wifi work on this?

Ok, maybe I should ask this...

What's the difference with FRESH 1.1 and Gumbo 1.5c?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gbhil:
Defaults:

CPU govenor - ondemand

Lowmemkiller settings - 1536,2048,4096,5120,15360,23040

Heh. I hate that cube thingy too. Believe it or not quite a few folks loved it and asked to keep it in. Guess they will be dissapointed that it FC's :)

I think that was just the first few people who got the clock bug. Left out the weather app and forgot the clock depends on it with the htc framework.

Thanks. Was about to PM you and ask you to mirror. Having interweb issues still today. 40 freeking inches of snow will cause that i reckon lol. I need to put a wireless card in my router box so I can tether my desktop as well as my laptop. But I'm way to lazy to unhook it and crack the case!

Well i try not to, but wait until you've flashed it to say if it's any good or not :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] HeroMeng:
Hehe. Very good, fast rom. Love the clear lockscreen on the bare version.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dathryl:
Google Nav

Does this rom include Google Nav?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
It's an android 1.5 build, so no it doesn't
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pseudoremora:
No. Google Nav will not work on 1.5. If you want that, you'll need to flash your phone with either AOSP 1.6 or Gbhil's Donut ROM. If don't want to do that, then you always have Sprint Nav. Right now -- us CDMA Hero users do not have the option for Google Goggles or Google Nav until the official 2.1 update comes out. But like said, if you really want Google Nav that bad, you can install either one of the above mentioned 1.6 ROMS.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PRGUY85:
I was testing 1.5c before official release and found out it was a bit slower than the other ROMs (including Gumbo 1.5b) when running the Gumbo kernel. Is the final 1.5c release displaying this as well or was this fixed to mach more 1.5b speeds on menu transitions/app menu scrolling/etc?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pseudoremora:
Already talked to you about this on the AC forums, lol. ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] longlivethetea:
I'm running 1.5c bare without sense and i like it. Just curious though i seem to be missing the music app. I like the original android 1.5 music app since I'm not using sense i think it would match the rest better when using the widget. anybody know where or how i can get it?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tyrnight:
I tested the 1.5c beta.. er whatever it was (test ver) and it was faster than the final.. Im running the BARE ver and typing lags BADLY.. I did a fresh install.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mcfarlan:
Weather Widget

@psuedorama...what weather widget is that you are using?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mcfarlan:
Weather Widget

double post
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
That's the stock htc weather widget
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Gregalous:
So I like how you ported over some of the HTC apps (specifically the dialer :D) Just wondering how you did that since I thought they required the Sense UI to be installed?

Also would it be possible to use the HTC lockscreen app in the bare version?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
Haha, its not like gbhil completely took sensui off the phone, its just he stripped it to the barest components while still making the system work

And yes you can install the htc lockscreen, just push theone found in the sense add on pack onto your phone into /system/app
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mcfarlan:
Thanks...just realized I am using clear widgets which is why mine looks different....lol. Too much of trying everything...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Gregalous:
Ah ok. That makes sense.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] StephenMilone:
thanks for the update. im flashing ontop of Gumbo 1.5b w/ 0.31 kernel and im getting force closes on boot =(

really dont want to wipe, i will.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] brinox:
For clarification - senseUI is a homescreen replacement app with a number of built-in widgets and defaults set. the phone app, keyboard and predictive text and a number of other HTC overhauled stuff are separate from senseUI, and are ultimately required to left on the ROM to maintain usability continuity.

they all share aesthetic elements because they were originally designed to be a large overhaul of android to articulate their departure from the norm, as is my guess.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] KERKEDAGAIN:
what are you flashing to? i would think if you flash bare unto a fully loaded sense rom you'll get fcs cuz it would be trying to load something not in the current ROM..what i did was a clean slate before i flashed the bare ROM so there were no conflicts and I had no probs
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Darkshneider:
Can you get to your Home screen or programs at all? Try Home Switcher and set Home as default.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] StephenMilone:
i've tried the full rom, force close on gapps and android.phone, which gives no service.

then tried bare + sense, same thing

bare by itself appeared to work okay...odd.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tyrnight:
when all else fails... RUU then re-root and update to Gumbo 1.5c
[Hero CDMA Android Development] KERKEDAGAIN:
..yeh..thats what i did. Did it in steps and i didn't have any problems.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] StephenMilone:
i hate redownloading all my apps and redoing my homescreen, oh well, wipe (or RUU) it is then. thanks everyone
[Hero CDMA Android Development] KERKEDAGAIN:
wait a minute..didn't you say bare worked?! If you reset into recovery and flash the sense addon you're saying you get force closes? I mean, i'm with you..i HATE wiping
[Hero CDMA Android Development] StephenMilone:
exactly. flash *just* bare and it works. flash the sense addon, i get force closes that prevent the phone from getting a connection. and i'm not coming from anything out of the ordinary, the latest gumbo rom + kernel before this release (1.5B and .31 respectively)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] FoxRacR17:
Thanks alot for this rom! The Bare rom is just perfect for me. I love how it looks like vanilla android but has just the right things from Sense that I liked about it. Installed bare on my hero and love it, installed full on my girlfriends hero and she loves it! Thanks from both of us.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mcfarlan:
T

I have flashed both versions quite a few times trying to decide on one and have been using bare with Sense most of today and not having those issues. I did experience similar issues when I flashed one of the 2.1 icon sets, Brock's taskbar and the full Nexus theme though. Haven't had time to troubleshoot but assume you are doing a wipe first?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] grifforama:
So I flashed the full sense gumbo, and removed a few apps I didn't want.

Pretty nice. I went from TTG 0.16, with running around 40odd megs of free RAM to now running around 53megs of RAM

Thing is, I just opened my browser, did a bit of browsing, opened the market, updated an app, and I'm looking at 26megs of free RAM, and it hasn't gone back up ?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ebuechler3:
how can i backup my contacts/ programs before i ddo a wipe?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] KERKEDAGAIN:
in recovery you'll see an option called restore/backup..do a nandroid backup (nand + ext, if you have an ext partition created on your sdcard)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Darkshneider:
Pen and paper.... lol, I kid. Contacts should sync with Google and apps should sync with Titanium in the market.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Are your screens blanking while in a call? Mine stopped in 1.5b and 1.5c
[Hero CDMA Android Development] koricua74:
After reading through the tread last night I decided to go with Gumbo "Bare" with Sense UI along with SetCPU (528/160 ondemand). I removed all of the apps I didn't want and I can honestly say that I have what IMHO the Hero should have been since Day 1. The Hero is super responsive and amazingly fast. Thank you gbhil and all of the testers involved in making this ROM.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jedis:
Is there just the kernel like you did for the beta release? Want to use your latest kernel with Fresh rom.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gbhil:
Sorry guys. I haven't abandoned ya. Still snowed in with on and off electricity. Thankfully it was on long enough to charge everything I could charge early this morning. Let's hope it stays back on.

I had to use settings that won't cause issues for those who don't want to edit them and want it to just work. This doesn't apply for most people on this forum :)

Flash the Userconfig addon, then pull /system/init.d/gumbo.sh . Edit it with a Unix text editor (notepad++ for windows is free and works great). You'll see some preconfigured settings that you can uncomment. Just add a # in front of the lowmemkiller settings you have now, and add this line at the bottom:

echo "1536,2048,4096,10240,15360,23040" > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree

If you start to see some FC or errors with things like FB sync, change the 10240 (third from right) to a lower number. I suggest dropping it by 48 each time.

The Hero has no mechanism to blank the screen during a call. It's based on your screen timeout settings, or from a third party app. Nothing has changed here.

You're welcome. It works great for me as well :)

You can use the 3.1 version that worked before. I can't make these changes to work with other ROMs, but I did supply a downloadable dev kit to add the functions and kernel to their ROM if anyone else feels like working something up.

OTOH I doubt anyone would mind if someone else wanted to make a custom boot image for Fresh+this kernel, and I'd be willing to help any project like that as much as i can.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaehyun01:
I would love it if it had a music player, i use it too much to have to get rid of it for this rom...:(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ljmeli:
What do you mean? You can install the Sense UI pack on the first page and get the HTC player.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gbhil:
http://www.4shared.com/file/218825924/9e917a44/OC_TEST_GK-signed.html

Test for those who want to test the 688 MHz Overclock with the ondemand scaling and ram hack. ONLY for Gumbo 1.5c users. (If you try on other Rom's say if it worked. Hasn't been tested). Backup first, you know the drill.

Running steady at @32C , but is hell on the battery. Remember I'm not responsible if you hose your phone. Nobody makes you click the links ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Gregalous:
Hey gbhil, I installed this ROM and everything works great, except I'm having a problem with certain apps not retaining their settings upon phone reboot. I've had this problem with SetCPU, Weather Widgets and the Catharsis(?) calendar widget. When I boot up the phone, I change the settings to where I want them and then when the phone reboots, all the settings are back to their defaults.

Is this maybe because of the memory killer settings or is it something else?

Or does it not have to do with your ROM at all? :rolleyes:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ljmeli:
Got it worked perfect. 687.57...let' see how the battery handles it :S
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gomorrah:
Just for the hell of it, I flashed this over Fresh 1.1. Worked perfectly fine so far, no problems. Reading 687.57.

EDIT: I also flashed the other download from the other thread which is built off your kernel with the less agro ram settings. It also works just fine. I cant comment on any RAM difference because I was becoming obsessed with the little Systray number in the corner and had to uninstall it. But I'll get back to you on that one.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] koricua74:
Just flashed will try it out for the next couple of days and report back. Wish me luck :rolleyes:

EDIT: How do I set the overclock speed? Is it already incorporated? SetCPU will only go to 528.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theraginasian:
Here are some raw numbers I'm seeing in my own testing and use:

Here is what I got after installing the OC zip...This is using the Droid profile in SetCPU. I believe it was at 480 while sleeping...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Patb8man:
Handcent Sms Issue

I first wanted to say that the rom is great...I have used every single rom on this board and this is by far leaps and bounds better than them all. Everything is working fine except one tiny issue with handcent sms. I have it installed over your bare gumbo rom and for some strange reason when you launch handcent sms it doesnt capture the pictures synced from facebook...it will only show ones that were added manually. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Is there a possible reason/fix for this? It worked fine with all the other roms including the previous version of Gumbo...its probably handcent itself...either way again its a great rom. When I get some extra cash I plan to donate. :)

Edit: I installed Chompsms and it works fine. A great second choice...a lot alike but I hate the iphone bubbles...Handcent let you choose a different style. Either way I am satisfied. Thanks again for the great rom.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pseudoremora:
He doesn't accept donations -- he just does it for fun, you could always try though. Tell me if it works -- I'd donate as well, to all the ROM/kernal dev's.:D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Merckle:
Well the Rom is great, but starting to notice my awake time is staying at 100% like when there was the message app leak. Anyone else noticing this?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] crunchybutternut:
Running this ROM and only @ 17% awake time.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theraginasian:
Mine tends to vary between 10-30%, depending on how much I have it plugged in via USB. at the time of this post its 28%. This is after applying the kernel, so I don't think your high awake time is related to the kernel. Good luck!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] KERKEDAGAIN:
yeh...there's an app keeping it awake..i found that true of youmail and a timesheet app i've got. use a task manager and close all apps and see if it starts to sleep, then you can figure out where the root lies
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theraginasian:
Oh, and I think I forgot to mention but I had no problems flashing over GK-0.31 Kernel with TTG.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
How do you install the add-on components?

Do you just copy the files from the add-on to the corresponding folders in base package prior to flashing or is there some way to install the add-on after the base package has been installed?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] watzone69:
Just copy the zip to the root of your sd card, reboot to recovery, pick the "flash zip from sd card".
[Hero CDMA Android Development] watzone69:
I have tried both versions of the OC'd kernel and I got boot loops both times. I flashed them over Gumbo 1.5c-BARE with add-ons. I wiped before flashing the kernel, also cleared Dalvik.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Merckle:
I believe I got it, I believe it was Youmail....Gay

thanks for the help, KERKEDAGAIN
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whatsleft4her:
The new test kernel is def a battery killer
[Hero CDMA Android Development] KERKEDAGAIN:
dunno if i'd agree..my battery isn't draining anywhere outta norm and i have it "oc'd" @ 950
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Merckle:
question also with the oc kernel. when I look at the setcpu it still says 528. is that correct or is it supposed to be 650 or something.

but its running at 660.07
[Hero CDMA Android Development] d1msum4lyfe:
still got the bluetooth issue?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] koricua74:
I've been running it since late last night and haven't seen that big of a drop off on battery life. I caveat this by saying that I may not use the phone as much as you do, but since starting my day at around 9 AM I've made about numerous calls, used the internet, and played Gang Wars every time I get a chance (I think I'm addicted to the game) I'm sitting at 63% (as I'm writing this). I also have real good 3G coverage in my area and I rarely roam (if at all).

Edit: I have all email accounts (4) set to update every hour and I can't even count the amount of text message that I send and receive.

I've sync'd my phone with the factory bluetooth in my Nissan Titan, with all of the ROMs that I've tried on my phone. I haven't had any bluetooth issues with the ROM. It has been documented in the forum that depending on the bluetooth device the Hero will have problems.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ricersniper:
I just want to say thank you! In my opinion, this is by far the best rom I have used to date. I have tried them all and for the past month kept going back to fresh 1.1 which is, in its self a very good rom, but none can hold a candle to this one. i am a heavy user and even with the performance cpu set i am not noticing any more dramatic drop in battery, just lightning fast loading and transitions. thank you and thanks to all the devs for this community.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] feefeeboomboom:
new kernel?

so im assuming the kernel in this is diff from .31 gumbo kernel? if so, how can i get just the kernel. i tried running gumbo 1.5c overclocked to 950.50... mem was getting eaten up and over all rom speed was not to my liking. i was to go back to fresh 1.1 but i also want to use the custom kernel config .sh file and idk if it works on .31. anyone lol?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] qngds:
BARE

Love the BARE! And I'm so not a minimalist. Very snappy, this is what I expect from my phone. Thanks so much!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pseudoremora:
You should probably visit Android Central -- Gbhil is a lot more active there than he is here. Also, having his .31 kernal on Fresh 1.1 may not produce better results. Logically, since the kernal was built for his ROM, it should work most efficiently with his ROM as well. YMMV.

Here's the Gumbo 1.5c thread at AC.

http://forum.androidcentral.com/sprint-htc-hero-roms/6699-cdma-hero-rom-gumbo-rom-1-5c.html
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gbhil:
Open the 1.5c-signed.zip file. Copy these files to a new folder:

boot.img

/system/lib/modules/wlan.ko

/system/init.d/gumbo.sh

Push the .sh and .ko files to the correct place on the phone. Reboot it to recovery. Nandroid backup it. reboot normally. Wifi will be broken, that's expected.

Copy the boot.img to your sdcard.

Shell into the phone, and run the following as root:

cat /dev/zero > /dev/mtd/mtd2
flash_image boot /sdcard/boot.img
reboot

I'm only active with a snow shovel lately :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Coldheat1906:
LOL......

funny Texas just got hit with 9 inches...... we don't know how to act here....... everything is closed.....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] afazel:
Very true. I've spent time in Ohio and Virginia, and I can't help but laugh. I'm at work, but my class tonight was cancelled.

What a shame. It was my last class EVER before I'm finished with my BS degree, and it was cancelled due to snow. Oh well, another week to prepare for a presentation never hurt anyone :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] afazel:
I'm going through gumbo.sh on Gumbo 1.5c with the user-defined CPU settings and looking at the CPU throttles settings. They're different than what I used before. Now it's just "msm7k" "ondemand" and "performance" where before I had clock values set. Is the "ondemand" setting 245 min and 528 max w/ scaling?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gbhil:
Yep. The default min/max will be 245/528, but that's pretty easy to change.

cat your preferred min frequency (as a whole number) to /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq

And cat the preferred max to

/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq

These commands could be placed in the gumbo.sh file as well to set them on boot.

re:snow

I live in the mountains right on the Virginia/West Virginia border. Beautiful, quiet, and covered under 50 inches of snow with spots where it's drifted over 20 FEET.

Took two days for 6 guys with shovels and a Bobcat to get to the main road. But finally, I have cigarettes and coffee beans again. Good thing, more snow coming Monday lol.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] feefeeboomboom:
thank you

well I did end up answering my own question. The lag i was getting was in menu scrolling. I reflashed to Fresh 1.1 and the .40 oc test kernel. It seems to be working very well with .sh file. Now for the newb question, how do i figure out if it is really working? Phone seems faster i guess lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] THunDA:
gbhil.. just wanted to say thanks! you rom is working superb for me with SetCPU @ 245\528.. its like a new phone!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rivak24:
im new to rooting and i have fresh 1.1 and i want to no how i can install this with prekitchen?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] koricua74:
You can't you have to put the ROM zip on your sd card, reboot into recovery, and flash zip. Just like you had to do with Fresh 1.1. As far as I know the pre-kitchen can't flash ROMs, it only auto-root, remove/install some ROM components, and pull/push files from the Hero/SD Card. Read the first post thoroughly if I'm not mistaken you'll lose the espresso look until you flash it back on. You can find them on the TTG ROM thread. Hope this helps.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] james33440:
I like this ROM.

My only complaint is that now my wifi tether is showing slow download speeds. I was getting 200+kbps (still not as fast as I want) on the stock rom. However, now I am only getting 100 if I am lucky. It mostly stays around 40kbps.

Any suggestions?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bikcmp:
Simply great.

This is by FAR the best rom out there for the hero :). Very fast and does stuff just how I want it to. I am extremely happy with this, just with one request: I would like the stock Android keyboard; if anyone knows how, please tell me! I'd appreciate it.

Jason
[Hero CDMA Android Development] StephenMilone:
i posted earlier in this thread with problems flashing it. anyways i went RUU then flashed bare + sense + a theme and my battery life is absolutely horrendous compared to Gumbo 1.5B (ive used that rom with standard kernel, modaco kernel and gumbo's kernel on separate occasions).

Any help on what I can do?

Im using SetCPU with msm7k setting, as i have with the 1.5B build

edit: reflashing (no wipe) all 3 zip files seems to have helped a lot!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ELIMINATED:
Is there any way to get JUST Sprint TV to add back on?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Darkshneider:
If you have Windows running on your PC, try Fresh's Kitchen.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Leukay:
Try Fresh's Pre Kitchen. That'll do it
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rockcrawler:
Flashing 1.5c Bare and 1.5c full after just running the ruu and rooting sends my phone into a bootloop. I just cant seem to figure this one out. Cleared everything multiple times before and after flash and I just cant beat it. :mad:

Ideas anybody?

Edit: Tried reinstalling Fresh 1.1 and some result. It was my SD card, it went bad, even after repartitioning it would not worked. Swapped it for another and Good to go.
