I had the Facebook sync issue as well. I removed the account and added it back a few times but only a few contacts would start to show up even after a good amount of waiting. Then I noticed that if I went into each contact that I knew should be linked to Facebook and manually selected each link it worked fine. It updates and syncs fine now whenever someone updates status. Might be worth a try for you.

And yes, the battery life is fantastic on this ROM.

I agree but until someone figures a way to have camera and an AOSP 2.1 ROM work then I'll stick to this

Unsure about A2SD

I'm currently running fresh 1.1 without a2sd. Have read all this thread and wonder if I should install this or wait. Would like a2sd on my phone. Should I install a2sd first or this new ROM then do a2sd? Or will installing this automatically install a2sd?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] centran:
You need to go into recovery and select partition sdcard. This will erase anything you currently have on your card so make sure to copy everything off of it first and onto your computer.

After you partition then this ROM will automatically use apps2sd.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smoother2010:
id wait if i were you but i do have to say it is a good rom, just a few issues that need working on.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DKreinest11:
Same problem for me... rebooting temporarily resolves issue
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hoopsdavis:
Flipz, do you have the standard Espresso look for this ROM?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] AH28:
Yeah, I can make about 1 or 2 calls after reboot before it happens again, very frustrating. :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jdgiotta:
I was able remove the apk via shell, but the app is still on my phone. Weird, huh?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Ska8erMush:
awesome!

but it changed the bottom bar to the legend looking rosie

thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gonzoangel:
am I the only person that doesn't care about apps2sd. no disrespect to those who use it.... but I don't see the need for THAT many apps on my phone. I have a solid 15 or 20 apps and some games and everything works fine. I just read/skimmed over 15 pages of apps2sd talk and I can see how it might deter the regular user from upgrading.

this Rom has been amazing for me and it does everything I need my phone to do.

* for people with Facebook problems: when I first booted my phone before I added my contacts I went to albums, Facebook, and let every friends photo load, installed all my apps, rebooted then synced and I have never had a problem.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] smw6180:
Umm..*shrug*. If you don't want to use it, don't use it. A lot of those posts were about a fix to free up even MORE room on internal memory. There are many reasons for using a2sd, and not solely for adding more apps (although most people use that as their primary reason). Given that this ROM comes with it, I don't believe a few posts (and it's not 15-20 pages, I think you exaggerate a touch...unless you mean you saw the phrase 'a2sd' on that many pages, which I concede is likely) designed to enhance the current a2sd functionality are outside of the current thread's area of topicality.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hoopsdavis:
I don't care much about it, but having it on the phone doesn't hurt. I may give it a try at some point..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bobr0949:
I partitioned my SD but don't see aps2sd installed apps and they are installing on the phone.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dfbonney:
Only issue I've had so far is that when I press Menu--> Menu to wake it up the menu actually displays instead of just unlocking the device. Somehow I got into the habit of Menu--> Menu using stock lock screen so this is a minor irritation but I have been trying to go back to sliding down to unlock.

I havent had issues with people hearing me yet, but I did flash the 2.0d rom then before ever even booting flashed the fix. :confused:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rank78:
is everyone still unable to get LWP to stick? and if they do stay, are you using launcher or helixlauncher? i'm using helixlauncher because i wanted 7 screens rather than launcher's 5, and LWP was staying fine at first but now it disappears upon wakeup.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 702DROID:
sticks fine for me with using launcher2 (one included in this rom) ...just checked it ...i had set it up last night and its still there even after a reboot this morning (from flashing new radio)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] galt:
Ditto here, tried flashing the patch posted in the 1st post and still run into the audio problem after a couple of calls. Had to flash back to 1.5, bummer....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tkirton:
It's simply for those people who want more internal memory. If you want to install it, you can execute the following command to activate dalvik-cache to sd card:

a2sd cache

If you decide you don't like it, you can execute the following command to move it back and set a flag to tell a2sd not to automatically move it upon reboot:

a2sd nocache
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tkirton:
This a2sd works with both 1.5 and 2.1, so you can use it on any ROM that calls a2sd (though I had to program an exception for Fresh 2.0d since the script is in init.d).

This one also addresses issues with some ROMs that do not include the /system/sd mount point, causing A2SD to fail. This was compensated for in 2.0 and is also working in 2.5.

Apps2SD problem?

I'm using Apps2SD and I keep getting "Force Close" on some apps when I try to launch them. I've even tried to start over with RUU and I still get Force Close. These are the steps I've taken.

RUU_Hero_C_Sprint_1.56.651.2_signed_release.exe

Root & recovery-RA-heroc-v1.6.2.img installation

Formatted & Partitioned SD for a2sd

Restored backup apks to (/sdcard/backups/app")

Installed Fresh Rom 2.0d, rebooted to verify autokill & custom pri correction

Boot to recovery, restored backup apk using ADB Shell (cp /sdcard/backups/app/* /system/sd/app/)

Am I doing something wrong? Or do some apps like aFirewall, Airvoice and ES File Explorer simply need to be reinstalled because of the wipe?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dcdave63:
Ok, first I installed the Dark Tremor http://www.darktremor.com/upload/a2sd-2.5b.zip

then I did this:

and I went from 65MB free to 144MB free with 65 apps installed!

From what I can tell, everything has moved, the phone is just as fast as it was before on this ROM. I wonder how many more apps I can install? I wonder if there is a maximum using this setup?

'My Contacts' Sync Issue

Hi all,

I've seen this problem addressed in a random thread, but not on here (unless I missed it...if so, apologies)

I just upgraded from Fresh based on 1.5 (can't remember exactly which release) to 2.0d. In 1.5, you were able to select which of your gmail contacts you wanted sync'd to the phone.

But I cant find anywhere to do this in Android 2.1, so I've got all these random contacts on my phone that google adds automatically.

Anyone come across a fix for this.

Many thanks!

Completely Clear Lockscreen?

Searched for a while now....trying to find a completely clear lockscreen to flash on top of Fresh 2.0d.

Kitchen 1.0 had this exact lockscreen (I think)...but that was based on 1.5.

The lockscreen you are requesting is not possible on 2.1. Sorry.

Yeah, pretty frustrating. I'm back to damage 1.0. Fresh roms are my fave though.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] rlaxton:
However you can get a clear lockbar which is pretty nice, you can see your lock wallpaper real well. Looks like the pic below but of course you don't see your regular home screen.

use RewagMOD's clear lockbar, says its for espresso only but I used on Fresh 2.0d and it works great. you can find it below:

@tkirton and smw6180

Thanks to tkirton and smw6180 for figuring out and publishing the steps needed to move dalvik-cache to /system/sd/. My internal memory went from 95 MB to 150MB, and post #2316 had similar success.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smoother2010:
glad you got it to work, i could not. :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rank78:
dammit, too bad launcher is only 5 screens and not 7. :( i wish i could at least get LWP to stay longer, at first it lasted the 1st day but now disappears almost every other time it goes to sleep.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Ceger:
What exactly do you mean by installed Dark Tremor? What is it? How do you "install it, and to where?

I'm trying to follow the process, but the posts to read through are too scattered and I cannot find how to do this any clear manner. I have about 36MB left, so I really need to open up some space.

Here we go. Fresh 2.0d.alvik with apps2sd and dalvik cache working. I also fixed quick boot and Web suggestions in the quick search bar.

Quick search bar to offer web suggestions and weather. This is a pet peeve of mine because when I first bought my Hero I tried to search 'weather 01602' and nothing happened this is when I realized the hero came with 1.5 :( I accomplished this by using a different EnhancedGoogleSearchProvider.apk and editing build.prop line 16.

ro.build.version.release=2.1-update2 (freshhh) to ro.build.version.release=2.1-update2

In debug Google was choking on the (freshhh) part. Some invalid charcter error.

Quick boot was fixed by adding reboot to /system/bin and /system/xbin

Nothing else was changed

[Install Steps]

re-partitioned card I did this to make sure %100 nothing else present and everyone can be on the same page.

Safety wipe

flashed fresh-cdma-hero-2.0d.alvik_sign.zip

Just like in Flipz original post any mentions an error on DATA while flash you will need to wipe again.

That is all

[Hero CDMA Android Development] smw6180:
Copy your SD card to your computer.

Boot into recovery.

Select 'partition'.

Probably best to accept the defaults.

WARNING: THIS WILL ERASE YOUR SD CARD. BE **SURE** YOU'VE COPIED IT TO YOUR COMPUTER.

When you reboot, a2sd should automatically set itself up. Any apps you install will go to your SD card.

If you want to move the cache as well, there's a series of posts showing how to do that.

Edit: Here's the link to the instructions for moving cache.

sorry for the nob question:p:rolleyes::o
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smw6180:
you can mount your SD card on your computer with no problems.

It would just be a relatively bad idea to pull your SD card while the phone's running...but worst case is you'd have to reboot it after you put the card back in...potentially you could lose an e-mail or text message I suppose.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dcdave63:
I can't think of too many reasons to remove my card in the first place. If I want to download anything from it, I just usb into it and download it. you can also download a program or two to bluetooth or wifi transfer it. Or I could email it to myself. I just have my class 6 8GB card, and weekly I backup the entire card to my hard drive.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] whiteonline:
dalvik-cache

Other than the obvious geek factor, why would you want to move cache to the SD?

It is using system space; the same as applications would normally be installed (since it shows up in the filesystem); this does not free up RAM for application use.

Am I missing something? :confused:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whiteonline:
Use 32 or 0. Swap is similar to the page file in Windows. If you start swapping hard, the system will be laggy as hell.

The additional swap will prevent the phone from locking up in extreme low memory conditions, but you'll still need to kill applications or reboot to get the speed back. The benefit is in the eye of the beholder.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jimmyeason:
ok will there be any other things like that after this that i need to set a part of sd card or is that it
[Hero CDMA Android Development] galt:
Well, it flashed, but the reboot seems to be taking a really long time. Going to give it a few more mins then I will then pull the battery and try again.

Set the ext2 space for the amount of space you want for applications. This is the space where the apps will actually install to. Unless you are going to go apesh*t with installing everything possible, 512 is fine.
