I had a problem running into the rebooting cycle after flashing, but that was because I had SetCPU enable to 'Set at boot'. I had to 1. reflash my nand backup 2. disable the 'Set at boot' from within SetCPU settings 3. Reboot into recovery and make a new nand backup 4. Flash the new ROM and GoogleStuff.zip update package in sequence WITHOUT rebooting 5. After googlestuff.zip update applied reboot. I was then able to boot into the new rom and following the instructions to regain root, I didn't run into any problems.

Now my phone is way snappier than it has ever been. Not sure if that's cause Sense UI is gone or what, but I am blown away. The onlything not working is the camera (from my experience) and bluetooth (from what i've read).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] regaw_leinad:
Would all that has to be done is change the "16" in the .conf file to a lower number? that easy? cause I can just do it if thats all it is..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thematrixkid17:
Release 2 the gallery didn't load for me.

Release 3 I just, wiped, flashed, updated kernel, installed google bits. Gallery works great for me now until I tried to exit, and it hung up and I had to pull the battery. Wifi works GREAT in the third release, thanks!

Going back to fresh this afternoon (I don't want to screw something up when I'm out, and then have to reflash while friends are trying to do something lol)

Coming from winmo a few months ago, I still can't believe how much quicker and easier it is to flash these phones. Nandroid is just amazing.:D

Thank you Darchstar, for your good rom with a great future. I can't wait to use this sucker when drivers come out from the official 2.1
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
Ya, i think so, im going to test it out.

On a side note, i've been running the rom from 5 am till now, and it's only at 85%! I think thats pretty good battery life, right?

EDIT: Would you actually mind testing it out for me, i'm not driving anywhere anytime soon
[Hero CDMA Android Development] regaw_leinad:
I won't be driving anywhere, but I may go for a run, so ill bring it along and see what happens. What values do you want me to test?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
idk, make it something like 3 or 4 and tell me the intervals in which your location updates in gmaps
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Vrekk:
Ok with the new kernel this runs well, I kinda miss the live wallpaper, but I'll live, I like opengl more. One thing, the gallery doesn't like to run sideways, but other wise I love this rom.

Did a neocore test and got 21.2 fps with this kernel

Without the kernel. It took to long and I didn't have the time Lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
ya, i got just about the same benchmark with neocore. as for the gallery.apk, i guess i forgot to post that orientation may lead to some probs, just don't turn it when using it. lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tyrnight:
with sound off I got 26.7 fps
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Vrekk:
So is the live wallpaper issue problem with the kernel or the lwp.apk
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
So downloading the new kernel will make everything on the ROM faster + make the gallery work? (I'll "see" if I can live without the live wallpaper for the time being...lol)

What is the correct order...do a flash of the updated ROM, then the Google Bits, then the Kernel....then the MT apk.....? At any point do I have to do that "rerooting" from quite a few pages ago...or once done, always done?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
It should be around the same speed because they are both pretty much stock kernels with MT and openGL ES Lite added in, so the only jump in speed you'll see is when you play 3d games or in gallery or when loading things dependent upon opengl 1.1 that can back up on openGL ES Lite.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] magicalan:
updated the kermel and not its stuck on "htc" boot screen thing
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
Thanks for that bit of knowledge....I don't do games all that much. Maybe a little bejewled, but that's it...lol.

So, with that said...I'll stick with the current version I have....wifi working/MT working....until some new fixes come out, or we can get opengl 1.1 on this ROM :)

The gallery looks like it will be HOT once working properly :D:):D

(where's your donate button) <----whispers
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ko0pa11:
how do you go about getting multi-touch working...you posted early its just an apk @ konikub
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
oh, well first you gotta update to my new rom to get mt working. if you want it in browser push the apk i gave konikub to /system/app
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
So are you saying it worked?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] VoXHTC:
He's saying it's stuck on the HTC Boot screen. I had to re flash when that happened to me.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
ahh, i see. i got confused with the placement of "not" in the sentence. must've been a typo.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fargledaer:
Thanks for the image. I've been using it for the past day and it's been pretty stable and responsive. The only major issue I've run into is that installing busybox into /system/xbin seems to cause me to get stuck at the HTC logo when the phone boots (as others have reported in this thread).

For the benefit of anyone else encountering issues, here's what I did to get everything finally working, including setcpu:

1. Download the busybox binary from thread 591303 and extract it to the "tools" directory of your android SDK.

Do the same with the asroot2 file found in thread 583291.

(Sorry, I don't have permission to post links yet.)

2. Copy the 3 images (ROM, google stuff, and the new kernel) linked in the first post to the root directory of your sdcard.

3. Reboot the phone into the recovery image.

4. Wipe the phone, then flash the base ROM, the google stuff, and the new kernel (in that order).

5. Push the busybox and asroot2 files to your phone.

From tools directory in your android SDK install, do the following:

--a. 'adb shell "mkdir /data/local" '

--b. 'adb push busybox /data/local/busybox'

--c. 'adb push asroot2 /data/local/asroot2'

--d. 'adb shell'

--e. 'chmod 0755 /data/local/busybox'

--f. 'chmod 0755 /data/local/asroot2'

6. Root the phone:

--a. '/data/local/asroot2 /system/bin/sh'

--b. '/data/local/busybox mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system' (NOTE: get rid of "remount" if you get an error)

--c. 'cd /system/bin'

--d. '/data/local/busybox cat sh > su'

--e. '/data/local/busybox chmod 4755 su'

Reboot and hopefully you should have a working phone. One warning: If you try to install busybox (not just copy it over, but actually install it), your phone may stop booting and you'll have to repeat these steps to recover. That was my experience, anyway.

Hope this helps.

Disclaimer: This is the first time I've flashed a ROM onto android device -- I'm still very much a beginner at this, so if something I posted doesn't work for you, I probably won't be able to tell you why.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] lordofokra:
love all the features on 2.1 but i cant get a gps lock so i'll stick with your 2.0 for now but keep up the good work!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] watzone69:
That's just the way magicalan types. Sometimes it's a bit of a challenge to understand his post's but he's a fellow Texan and good people.:D

I am going to start from bone stock, re-root, flash your latest ROM and Googleshits, and try the busybox/re-root while standing on my head and whistling Dixie. Wish me luck!

If that doesn't work I'll try the steps posted by fargledaer. What the heck, I've tried everything else.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] andyriot:
very pumped about this rom! been running your 2.0.1 since you released it and thought it was amazing. just loaded this 2.1 rom and im once again amazed! i LOVE the new nexus launcher, so sick! thanks so much for your efforts, im sure i speak for the community when i say we GREATLY appreciate it. the hero needs this kind of action!!

question for anyone - any updated icon packs work for this rom? i was thinking about making one unless theres already one available. these old icons dont fit all the beautiful new stuff!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Leukay:
Great update Darchstar! The launcher is amazingly fast now, and everything is running exceptionally well for me. Thanks again for all of your hard work!

EDIT:::For some odd reason in this release the launcher is sometimes really quick to show up, but sometimes it loads up in kinda slow motion like the last release. The gallery is amazing now, but that launcher thing is kinda odd. When its quick, it is QUICK. I mean, it pops up very promptly and scrolling throught it is amazing. Nonetheless, great rom again
[Hero CDMA Android Development] trapharder4844:
does visual voice mail work?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gbhil:
darchstar -

First off an apology. I didn't abandon ya, just got busy as hell trying to make some cash.

The files in the OP. What boot.img does the ROM itself have in it? Any changes since last time in there, or is it the same as your 2.01 ROM?

This is basically what I have been working on, but you have less issues with LED's and screen backlighting than my from source build, so I'm just going to bin mine. I'm not a guy who likes to re-invent the wheel, and this way you get to support it, which you can see is a nightmare ;)

I'm going to flash what you have on the first page minus the kernel, and work from there.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
ahh, the boot.img, i replaced your boot.img with 5tr4t4's boot.img so i could include MT in the rom. Whenever you release your kernel i'll include it in it. And don't worry, i didn't feel any sort of abandonment, i've been busy lately myself too.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] realmrealm:
holy crap since thursday night we are coming up on 500 posts. that just took quite a while to go through.

I was all like "hmm I'll just pop over to xda for a couple minutes and see if anything is going on" and then I saw this post, and i was like "hmm, I don't remember seeing that topic before" and then post by post my smile got bigger.

I'm dowloading now, but i am totally stoked.

thanks darchstar this looks freakin awesome. what momentum too!

-AndyS-

BTW:

..... funniest thing i've seen on here.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] watzone69:
This works!!!

HOLY ****! this worked flawlessly! I did everything from your instructions except flash the new kernel (decided to wait on that). I booted up fine and just tested and yep, I'm rooted! I'm making a nandroid backup as I type. You can't believe how much you have made my day!

What a great job from someone who's never flashed and Android ROM. The force is strong with this one!:D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chubbzlou:
Is anyone else battery draining faster with this rom. I unpluged it this morning at 9:30am and now its 5:27 my battery is is at 28%. With fresh 1.1 rom I would go all day with out a single charge.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tatonka_hero:
Says mine's been unplugged for 4 hours, and at 84%. Not too shabby at all
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tyrnight:
im at 5.5 hours at 81% but Im a Seidio 3500 MHa battery..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 5tr4t4:
darch, did you get my PM about permissions fixes for the GL/framebuffer devices, seems to speed up the Gallery for me. Also, some HTC proprietary stuff is missing, not sure if you care ;) I'm making a list.

For others watching, this ROM already tries to load the nexus boot animation at startup but the media files aren't there. You can just push one over from another ROM and it will work automagically ;) That is unless you prefer the "android" bootup.

adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media/
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
Ya, did you get my pm? Also, i was going to change the framework soon and make this cyanogenmod now that we got MT working, so i think it'd be unnecessary to get the Nexus bootanimation, i like the cyanogenmod bootanimation much more
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chubbzlou:
I guess I need to check on my setting must be something in the background draining my battery. Are you guys using set cpu and sycning your gmail account?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 5tr4t4:
Fine by me. I don't care, just saw the init looking for bootanimation.zip at bootup and know how much we all like our eye candy ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tyrnight:
im using gmail and setcpu aswell
[Hero CDMA Android Development] linkinx64:
Any way to get Native support for Exchange?

Exchange works, its just the calendar that doesn't sync. sorry
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ktynchy1:
My battery's been draining really fast too, in 5 hours went from 92% to 16% with normal use...using set cpu with 528max-160min...also the nexus live wallpaper doesnt seem to work after flashing the kernel and it was working before
[Hero CDMA Android Development] linkinx64:
I don't need calendar. :D ty so much

[Hero CDMA Android Development] ktynchy1:
ohhh dam didnt see that one, sorry, ill wait patiently for it, good work thou, this is the first rom ive flashed on my phone since november and i gotta say i like it :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gbhil:
Real quick -

Easy root/busybox method #2

adb devices (to start server)
adb remount
adb push asroot2 /data/local/asroot2
adb shell
su (yes this ROM is rooted, but it's AOSP rooted. Apps won't work but the shell will)
busybox --install /system/xbin
chmod 0755 /data/local/asroot2
/data/local/asroot2 /system/bin/sh
cd /system/bin
cat sh > su
/data/local/busybox chmod 4755 su

optional (to have both directories with the same su binary)
rm -r /system/xbin/su
cd /system/xbin
ln -s /system/bin/su su
chmod 4755 su

reboot
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rogerbean101:
For some reason i dont have the "phone" icon? did i have to do a whipe or can i flash it over fresh?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
you probably should wipe
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrinehart93:
I doubt anyone really cares enough to try this, but how do I go about removing the Dev Tools icon from the Nexus Launcher? I have no use for them, and I want to free up some room in the Nexus Launcher :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
remove development.apk from /system/app
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrinehart93:
Thanks for the quick reply darch!

EDIT

What's Fieldtest.apk? I've googled but can't find anything about it. Does anything depend on this?

EDIT EDIT

Thinks I'm looking to remove (give me an OK if this is ok to do)

Car Home (CarDock.apk?)

Custom Locale (what .apk is this?)

Substrate (is this LiveWallpapersPicker.apk?)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] SooooneR:
what about wifi tether?

Love the Rom but I cant get the Wifi tether to work just says "unable to start tether please try again" any ideas? I did search and didnt find anything in this thread. Thanks for all the hard work!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
This is what you're looking you need to do
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Darkshneider:
Lol, "Wife" tethering.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] knx2:
I noticed a few things so far. I changed the live wallpaper and now I can only get duck hunt the matrix and the ones the draw on the screen. I cannot get the nexus one to work again. It shows a white screen only. Over even reflashed. Weird. Great rom
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
Did you flash the kernel with openGL? if so, check the first post
[Hero CDMA Android Development] SooooneR:
hahaha! Already fixed the Wife tethering! :) Working on the Wifi Tethering! Thanks your G for finding it for me because my searching skills suck! Man you guys are good!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
haha, the fix was four posts behind your last one. Oh well, glad i can help!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] knx2:
Yes. I flashed the new 3 version on the rom then googlebits then the kernel

I also forgot to mention the gallery will freeze on me after I look through some pictures and I have to battery pull
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gqukyo:
Doh, doesn't work for me for some reason because unlike fresh's 2.1 rom, I get an error msg stating the software version does not support the security required of my work's exchange (a pw is required).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
First post
[Hero CDMA Android Development] knx2:
Ah. I didn't see that. I bet that is it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrinehart93:
Can someone help me please?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
those are all fine to remove.

Custom locale is to change the locale of your system

substrate is org.hermit.substrate.apk in /data/app

carhome is car dock.apk.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gbhil:
Check your PM's darchstar :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Darkshneider:
Uh oh... something's a-brewin'.:D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrinehart93:
Thanks! BTW I seriously love this ROM. It's going to be my daily ROM since it's running so smooth for me.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mhguy15:
Same here. Not to complain, but all was working great since last night. Saw the new kernel and flashed it a few minutes ago. Now the Nexus live wallpaper is blank white screen.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tatonka_hero:
Check the first post.

Says right there that "Most live wallpapers don't work with this due to the live wallpapers needing openGL ES 1.1 Lite. Also, if you are having issues with the rom just freezing on you, it is most likely due to the cpu being "pegged" causing the system to crash"
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrinehart93:
Your opinions might differ from mine, but is there really a point to using Live Wallpapers? Sure it looks nice and all, but all it ends up doing is slowing the phone down and using the battery faster. On that note, is it safe for me to remove Live Wallpapers from this? Can someone tell me a list of .apk's to remove to get rid of it completely?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tatonka_hero:
I'd like this as well. Live wallpapers are completely useless to me :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrinehart93:
Yeah I'm just cruising around the /system/app and /data/app directories and looking for ways to clean the ROM of stuff I don't want/need. All I really wanted was a clean 2.1, and this is the ROM for me. Just needs a little bit of shaping up, in my opinion :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
i you don't want live wallpapers, just remove /system/app/LiveWallpapers* , /system/app/VisualizationWallpapers.apk , and /system/app/MagicSmokeWallpapers.apk . I think i can get live wallpapers to work with opengl though, because in the 2.1 sense thread i saw that maejrep had them working, and im assuming he was using them with the new kernel
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mhguy15:
I read the first post, and thought the reference to live wallpapers not working was an indication that flashing the kernel as an update would fix that problem. I didn't realize that it was saying previously working live wallpapers may cease to function after flashing this kernel.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrinehart93:
That's good that you'll be able to get them. Hopefully it won't strain the CPU and battery too much? That's really the only reason I don't like Live Wallpapers, so for right now I'm deleting them. By the way, did anyone ever post a updated gps.conf? I've done a thread search and can't seem to find one.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Leukay:
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5624693&postcount=1068
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
thats the same gps.conf as the one in this rom
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Leukay:
Oh really? Well my gps wasnt working, so I pushed that to to /etc and /system/etc and it worked
[Hero CDMA Android Development] derekstory:
I have looked all through this forum and cant find the answer to my question.

What is busybox and what does it do?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] creacher:
i keep getting a read-only file system when i try busybox and cat sh>su
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrinehart93:
Aah ok, so that is not a fixed one? Another question... sorry if I'm bugging the heck out of you darchstar. I just made your ROM my daily (deleted my nandroid backups and made a backup of this one :)), but would it be safe to delete

LatinImeTutorial.apk

HtcCopyright.apk

BugReport.apk

I'm using the HTC Keyboard, so the LatinImeTutorial should be safe to get rid of, atleast I think. I don't really know what the HtcCopyright is, but it's probably just a file that tells you the Coypright stuff. And then BugReport is probably a developer tool?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrinehart93:
Busybox allows you to use commands like "rm", "cp", and other things. In short, it makes the terminal a lot easier to use. Also, some apps depend on it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tatonka_hero:
what about "LiveWallpapersPicker.apk"? Can that be removed as well?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
ya, all latinimetutorial.apk is only needed during setup, htccopyright just shows the htc copyright policy in about phone, and bugreport is if you need to post a bugreport to the Master aosp branch
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
/system/app/LiveWallpaper* includes all strings that begins with LiveWallpaper, so yes
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tatonka_hero:
ah, ok. Thanks :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrinehart93:
Yes it can. I've removed everything with "LiveWallpapers" in it, and my phone is working fine. I've also removed the three files I mentioned above, and it's running fine. My phone is also booting a lot faster too... maybe it's just me.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrinehart93:
I should just put it out here that ever since I removed all the .apk's I've been asking about, the speed of my phone has increased ridiculously. There is no lag AT ALL, and the Nexus Launcher just speeds through when I scroll. darchstar, you have officially crafted a BADASS ROM.
