[Hero CDMA Android Development] agentofboom:
Donate what you can! Just show your support!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ajaholic:
any reason why google maps was removed?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
+1 id like to know this too.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] linkinx64:
from His website

What are protected apps / how can I get them?

Protected apps are applications on the market that are considered copy protected. Probably the most popular one that people ask about is twidroid. With a developer rom like this you can not see protected apps. Now that doesn't mean you aren't able to use them. If you have purchased any apps or there are any apps that you want that are protected then you need to download them from another rom and then back them up. Once you back it up you will have the .apk that you can then install on this rom.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] conman13:
Just donated again! I'm pumped for this! Thanks flipz, you rock! :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] brian2220:
who really cares what he is doing.

flipz is allowed to do what he damn well pleases until he stops making roms
[Hero CDMA Android Development] khaag27:
Yea we need clear lockscreen. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] HeroMeng:
Amen, brother.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] conman13:
I had the same issue with the lockscreen. I removed the htc one and the clear 2.1 one was all jumbled. I would really like to hear or see if anyone has a workaround or a fix... :confused:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] khaag27:
so I rebooted my phone and touch zoom is back lol.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jayjay7411:
i did do what was done in the last rom which was delete the htclockscreen in order to get the flan lockscreen but that ended up not working like the last rom and left it all funky looking and not fit for the screen as if it came off of a different setup... still playing around looking for a solution although the new flash on the blank lockscreen works i cant figure out how to delete the dang rainbow wallpaper that is set but now there is no bar... ahh lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jayjay7411:
ahh yea that happened to me i have yet to find a fix lucky me i have a backup from like 30minutes before lol so just restored phew
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gthing:
Ha! Too true - I guess as long as people can't do things for themselves he'll have an endless line of ass-kissers falling all over themselves to defend him. They don't give a damn about the open source community or the GPL.

Not only is Flipz distributing this rom in violation of the GPL, but he has been able to stop another dev from distributing his own derivative work as well. It's almost as bad as the whole Sveasoft debacle a few years back. That guy tried to pull the exact same scheme with the forced "donations."
[Hero CDMA Android Development] khaag27:
Isnt that rainbow wallpaper just beautiful lol........i bet all the guys love that on their phone
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jayjay7411:
lol i would i was suprised lol i was not a huge fan
[Hero CDMA Android Development] HeroMeng:
you really are delirious our something, right? Read the threads and then talk smack about them. Kay? Kay.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cheyne1:
????????

I can not believe what is going on in here, or even in other various threads in this forum. Some of you guys should be banned for being far to stupid seriously. Turning this forum into some adolecant high school hallway for what? Because you dont want to donate to get a copy EARLY? Get over it seriously. Have you maybe even though for one second that maybe it is a way to beta test, or maybe it could his way of sayin "hey i'm workin my ass off on this and if you guys show a little support i'll chip you in on a sneak preview instead of leavin you all to wonder." I for one appreciate the hell out of these devs and the way they are getting treated by some ppl here is selfish and sick. There is soo many resources out there for learning how to do things by yourself making time more productive than harassing the hardworking ppl here....... THAT HAVE PERSONAL LIVES!!! Donating is a choice, either make it or don't. Its gonna be out soon anyway even you don't so stop acting greedy and selfish. Start showing some damn respect to these guys and consideration for others. (sorry for the rant)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gu1dry:
Um, only the kernel is licensed under the GPLv2 license. The Android OS itself is distributed under the Apache license...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] khaag27:
nobody gives a damn what u have to say. If it bothers u so much then just stay off the forums. There was a thread started so you can ***** and moan in there. Please lets keep this thread on topic.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Tipharet:
Not true, there are no forced donations. Donations get you nothing more that early access to a beta-rom before it hits. Guess what he will do (well usually do until "you people" starting trolling) is monitor the thread and the many of emails he is getting and fix stuff before he releases it to the masses.

You know what the problem is here, people are so oddly desperate for android 2.1 that we are turning into those christmas parents who act irrationally and kick each others ass for a tickle me emo's. Only in this case a bunch of phone geeks (no offense) who are sitting behind a computer monitor quoting the GPL and posturing themselves into getting what they feel they are entitled too.

This is Flipz chosen release pattern and working for a damn software company is clearly the way to go. You beta EVERYTHING before releasing it to all. Without donations setting you apart from others how the hell would he determine who to initially share the betas with, regardless any way he chooses to do this someone is going to feel like they arent getting what they deserve. As matter fact, putting value on something creates a better product, while placing value on the dev's time. From what I have read and comments all these guys dev because they are also excited about software, not because they are here to make money. These guys have jobs, families and girlfriends.

So if you guys know whats best for you and the Android community, keep your **** checked and your mouth ****ing shut. We already lost one great dev this week. To everyone else, be patient and let the community grow organically. I know you are excited but there is no reason to sit in a thread and constantly ask if an update is being released and is something works. Read and or follow the thread. Once the official 2.1 drops it is no telling where this is going to go, there is lots of potential for good innovative releases, please do not taint the atmosphere here and ruin the room for potential.

On a side note; look the the Samsung moment. Basically the only thing that has been released are custom kernels, and guess what the damn community he was apart of did? Pulled this kind of **** and then he said welp I dont need this drama and decided to stop for a bit. The moment community is basically sitting in limbo now.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Diviance:
Donation

1.

an act or instance of presenting something as a gift, grant, or contribution.

2.

a gift, as to a fund; contribution.

Technically, he should have only released it to those who donated BEFORE he announced the donation gift thing, but it is still a donation. Flipz is not to blame for those circumventing the idea by donating simply for access.

As it is, the rom is unreleased. Those who have donated to his cause, whatever you may think it is, are simply glorified testers.

Most of us did not pay for access to a pre-release rom. Most of us willingly gave to Flipz because the time and effort he has spent, belittle it as you and your kind will, is significant and we APPRECIATE THAT. But whatever, go be ungrateful. We won't miss your presence.

Funny how everyone *****ing about it is all "I was going to donate... but then he gave people something for donating, and **** that, that isn't a donation at all! Greedy bastard!" Do you ***** to Red Cross or Livestrong if you get a hat or something when you give them a few bucks?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
PLEASE DO NOT RESPOND TO POSTS MADE BY GTHING

no matter the points made no one will be right. the truth is if you give a service or software to anyone specifically for a donation made then that does cancel out the fact that it is a donation. whether it is given out free afterwards. now the fact that this is open source software and it has been modified the party (Flipz) he is in no legal standing to give out software or to withhold it. but he is allowed to modify it. therefore he is allowed to give his software out early to people who have met a certain prerequisite (in this case a DONATION). He has in no way shape or form said that he requires a donation for access to this rom. only that IF

you HAVE DONATED then you are receiving the software.

This is the end of this conversation. what i have stated is THE LAW.

just to clarify James Huston Ewing of Sveasoft did state that he REQUIRES a fee to access his software.

Please do not reply to this post or anyone else who tries to start a war in a thread. continue with the development of this rom.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gthing:
(emphasis added)

Others of you are right that there is a problem with people feeling entitled here. The problem is that devs feel entitled to profit off of someone else's work. Remember 2 facts: 1. Flipz has not written any of the code contained in this rom and 2. he is currently distributing it but not to everyone.

What he is doing is anti-community and anti-open source. It risks bringing the attention of HTC - the company that owns the drivers that flipz is currently distributing "freely" to people who just so happen to have also paid him money.

For the record, I don't want Flipz rom and I don't plan on using it. But I gotta call out this sort of behavior when I see it.

To all of you arguing over the definitions of "donation" and "voluntary" - it is clear that you do not understand the issue at all. That's fine, but let the big kids talk.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gthing:
Unless you can point me to where the rom can be downloaded without paying money to someone first, you're wrong. And it IS being distributed, but only to people who have given him money. This is a clear violation of the GPL. It's really not that difficult, I posted the relevant excerpt above.

Anyway, I've said my piece. It's clear a lot of you don't understand the issue and want to argue about semantics. I'll sign off this thread for tonight and let you all go about your "beta testing."
[Hero CDMA Android Development] imneveral0ne:
ok, kinda off topic noob question. i have added new contacts since i installed my last rom, when installed that rom after a wipe and google added my contacts, it was missing a few of them, so im guessing it wasnt adding my contacts to google automatically. anyways, how do i sync my phones contacts to google so they are there after i wipe and put fresh 2.0 on my phone? thanx in advance!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dmc971989:
+1 ... the troll is hungry...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Tipharet:
Ive not seen one other person argue semantics but yourself. Hell, you pulling comments out of their context from the GPL to suit your argument.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
sounds like you added some without syncing. go to settings/accounts and sync/ click your google account now check the sync contacts is checked then click sync now. tada
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Tipharet:
Anything you add on gmail should be sync'd but I have found that unless you choose google contact for each contact and not the phone option in theory everything should sync and be moved to match whatever location lacks what.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] souless poet:
like crackberry

A little bit of ego....a little bit of pride .....a little bit of misunderstanding

Lots of people here stating opinion as fact......this place has changed over the course of a few days. All over software. On every forum I've ever been this **** always happen. Its sad really cuz its always the guys who put themselves out there the most that get **** on. Reminds me of the storm forums on crackberry. Bunch of baby bs. We will have a great forum here once we run off the talent. Let the inmates run the asylum can't wait to try out all the new roms by the loonies. 2.1 fruitloops v1.23.

Good luck all trying to sort out this insignificant bit of moment in time

Mani padme Hun
[Hero CDMA Android Development] beyondinferno:
okay, I'm going crazy.... Where can I find the stock 2.1 lock screen? I've got a rom with it here but I can't find lockscreen.apk... Any ideas?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] notasimpleway:
Can someone pull the "rainbow" wall paper for me? I can't seem to it... Thanks! :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Burksdb:
ok so i have the rom and i did a backup before i flashed, but after flashing nothing is different i try launching the camera and just a black screen and ideas?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
idk what page but it was discussed awhile back and i believe there were files you have to pull also. sorry i cant help too much but go back like 5-10 pages and its there :confused:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
this?

10chars
[Hero CDMA Android Development] imneveral0ne:
thanks im at that screen and its giving me

"sync is currently experiencing problems. it will be back shortly."
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
in nandroid wipe/data factory reset.

then after the rom loads the first time restart then camera should work. if not you will get an FC the first time and be good after that
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
did you wipe before installing this rom?

if so restart your phone, after started select the MAIL app and enter your info. then you shouldnt get login errors or sync errors
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Burksdb:
yea ive done the wipe and flash and still nothing. launch the camera and still full black screen cant do anything. tried rebooting to see if that would fix it still nothing. i just flashed to a 1.5 rom and wiped and flashed back waiting on it to boot now.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
well hopefully it works. there have been some strange issues even when do wipe. as the wipe only clears data and cache. the rom instal should clear the rest but i dont think this rom is clearing some things. idk what but hopefully we will see a fix
[Hero CDMA Android Development] notasimpleway:
My donation was for Flip's time. Not the product. And this was a few weeks ago. Not just for this project. He could be out doing things besides sitting behind a computer...Such as seeing his girlfriend, getting some Starbucks with my donation or doing whatever it is that Flip does besides this.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jayjay7411:
Yes lockscreen 2.1 is definitely being nerve wrecking I completed the erasing of HTC lockscreen but was left with the a missized 2.1 lockscreen insight would be appreciated
[Hero CDMA Android Development] notasimpleway:
Thanks!

lol10
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jayjay7411:
Did you remove your lens cap?

Just a joke lol

Sorry but up late and drinking
[Hero CDMA Android Development] imneveral0ne:
i did this, and it wont let me login, says my info is incorrect...

EDIT: now none of my google contacts will show up in my contacts, just the people who i have added since then.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Burksdb:
oh well i tried the pros of being beta lol. i will just flash again later... thansk for the ideas.

rom seems fast though so i'm deff not complaining.

as stated by others i dont mind donating for someones time and effort. which i did.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
jaslhibgalndafujl sounds like you have the strange problem alot of people got. best bet is to wipe reinstall rom. idk if they found a solution to it but you can check a few pages back. good luck lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] beyondinferno:
I'm def not a pro, but i've done alot of browsing and cannot find an apk for a lockscreen. I think it may be embedded in framework and if so flipz (or someone else who knows what the hell they're doing) would have to fix whatever is corrupted in the stock lockscreen...

PS. THE ROM IS AMAZING!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] imneveral0ne:
nvm, i forgot that after each reboot, you need to sign into google again, so i opened market, signed into google again, then went to sync, and it worked like a charm. thanks for listening to my retardedness :-p
[Hero CDMA Android Development] beyondinferno:
Another thing, anyone have a 3d gallery that landscape mode works? I'm getting a really messed up graphic.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] crshman:
Just posting my experience.

At first I did a clean wipe like the instructions listed, but I had an issue with protected apps in the app store (as it is listed in the release notes) and also the login issue with my Google accounts.

I tried to do the build.prop fix for the market, but that didn't go so well.

I then did another clean wipe, installed this rom: "[ROM-DEV] 03/04/10 | CDMA Hero Eclair 2.1 v2 | NEW Eris 2.1 Base!"

Once logging in I tested the protected apps issue and I was able to download all the apps (I tested with twidroid free). So I then did another rom upgrade to this version (I didn't wipe this time) and it seems that all the Google apps are showing up in the market! Also, my Google accounts all log in automatically after a reboot!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] imneveral0ne:
if i have this issue, i will try what you posted, thanx for passing along the info!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrchu001:
is everything running smooth after you flash this rom over flipz eris base 2.1 rom?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
be careful. i noticed this too but when upgrading like that things do not get deleted and it will work for some and not for others.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] crshman:
So far so good, I'm putting the phone through it's paces right now. I've rebooted a few times, installed a few apps, camera works great. Everything seems ok! I'll continue testing to see if I find anything funny.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] imneveral0ne:
ok i have this rom installed now, but it wont sync my contacts at all again lol. this seems like im just going around and around in circles
[Hero CDMA Android Development] crshman:
I had this issue too, to rectify:

1) I temporarily disabled the contact sync

2) I cleared the contact storage data from the applications management

3) I re-enabled the contact sync and all was well
[Hero CDMA Android Development] imneveral0ne:
how i do that exactly?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] crshman:
Disable sync

1) Open up Settings

2) Go to "Accounts & sync"

3) Select your google account from the list

4) Uncheck "Sync Contacts"

Clear your current contacts

1) Open up Settings

2) Go to Applications

3) Go to Manage Applications

4) Select "Contacts Storage"

5) Click "Clear data"

Re-enable sync

1) Open up Settings

2) Go to "Accounts & sync"

3) Select your google account from the list

4) Check "Sync Contacts"
[Hero CDMA Android Development] imneveral0ne:
i did all those steps for sure, its still doing the same thing, it'll give the error for like half a second, then it will try again, keeps on doing that.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] crshman:
Hmm that's odd, I noticed the same behavior that you're describing but that fixed it for me. You may want to try clearing and rebooting? Not sure it'll make any different though =/
[Hero CDMA Android Development] imneveral0ne:
i rebooted, its trying to sync contacts now, its not giving the error, its just loading constantly. not saying its done at all...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] crshman:
It may take a while depending on how many contacts you have. Mine took at good 4 or 5 minutes to pull all of mine down.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] imneveral0ne:
it wouldnt work. i have installed fresh's old rom, everything worked fine from there. i setup everything how i wanted it. now im gonna try to upgrade to this rom and see if it works like it has for others. I'll let you know how it goes!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
lol so many problems :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] imneveral0ne:
phones working perfect, camera working, live wallpaper working, mms working, my contacts are working. i can even find protected apps in the market. i reccomend everyone else starts from fresh rom and then updates to this!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bmxrider4444:
So you wiped, flashed the Fresh ROM 1.1, then updated to this one right?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hoopsdavis:
I agree 100%, I've been using MyBackup Pro since I've had my Hero and it works great. I'd highly recommend it
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dmc971989:
I see... Ill be waiting patiently for a fix then, thank you kind sir
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hoopsdavis:
Has anyone been able to get the HtcNaviPanel on this ROM? If anyone has the file and was able to install please share.

I pulled it from a previous ROM and pushed in to /system/app, but its not showing.

Any help is appreciated.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] david_ag:
Listen, you are NOT obliged to download this software, it is VOLUNTARY. Whatever Flipz does, is his choice. He is not a machine sitting at his computer coding for people and thats it. He has a life. He has to take from his spare time to do this stuff. I donated to him because I APPRECIATE THAT effort he puts on. I can't modify **** of Android software, so I am very gratefull for his work. If you are so impatient that you can't wait for the software to be released publicly in a couple of days, go get yourself checked you have a SERIOUS problem.

You sound like a punk who always gets whatever he wants, wake up dude, life is not a fairy tale. Grow up and shut up.

Oh... and one more thing. If you have problems with this GO AHEAD and do a 2.1 ROM yourself and use that.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kraminc:
You didnt wipe.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bmxrider4444:
Sweet downloading now!!!!, thanks Flipz and company!!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] krispuniq:
Download is UP for public now !!! thats sweeet flipzz ! thanks a lot

I am coming from darchDroid v4... so a wipe is required eh ? Do i have to flash freshh 1.1 and then update or straightaway wipe and flash ?? what is better ??

btw... thanks again flipz... release came faster than expected :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bmxrider4444:
I am checking to see if updating from Fresh 1.1 will work any better
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PlagaDeRock:
Thanks for the rom flipz and toast and all who contributed. :) Your work is appreciated. Just curious but what functionality would the pre-kitchen still have with Fresh 2.0, can I still use it to push themes?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ccapasso:
So while I know and understand that a wipe is best, so far the only way to get protected apps to work is by flashing this on top of the Eclair build.

However, doing this causes your default messaging app (sms/mms) to Force close.

Anyone else experiencing this/know a work around? :)

Should note this was on the pre-public release.

Also, I know I can simply push the apks to my phone of the apps I already have working, was just thinking.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] emenny81:
I wiped and flashed directly yesterday everything is working fine, I will flash the 2b version over this one now.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bmxrider4444:
There was a report of protected apps being fixed by flashing from Fresh 1.1 so i'm trying it out
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jmoch2:
Flashing over fresh 2.0 that I uploaded on Friday. Will report back in a few moments as to how everything goes...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ccapasso:
Let me know if this works for you :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sporkman:
My thx for the rom and all the hard work and a big thx you to all involved
