Flashing the keyboard shouldn't make you lose multi-touch, but i have an updated VoiceKB post with a file which has been reported to be changed.

damageless this rom sucks balls

.....................just kidding :D Its freaking awesome. I was kind of scared to go from Fresh 2.0b2 to this one, but it seems much quicker once its booted up. One thing to check into though, Fresh 2.0b2 booted REALLY fast on my Hero, like, from boot animation to main screen was only a few seconds. I was very surprised by this.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS ROM WITH ITS AWESOMENESS AND OVERALL SEXY 2.1 STYLE AND STUFF THAT DOESN'T SUCK AT ALL :D I MEAN IT NO SARCASM HERE! If I had ANY money to spare I'd gladly donate but I'm waiting for Radio Shack to STOP BEING SO ****ING SLOW and give me a start date....I all ready filled out EVERYTHING (INCLUDING DIRECT DEPOSIT?!) to be an Employee.... RAWR SLOW!

Whoa.. After using this for 3 or so days, I just came across a bug and it almost has to be just my phone or other people surely would have mentioned. Search turned up nothing.

If I add contacts from the phone and choose to save it as a google contact, I go back to contacts and the new entry isn't there.

Also, did anyone else try the stock keyboard flash and find that multi touch no longer works? I hope that gets working... I REALLY like the speech to text in any text field. That friggin' ROCKS as does the rest of the ROM.

@ Damageless

Please do not listen to the couple people that are causing trouble if you look through the forum it is the same couple people trolling all the threads.

those of us that have been here since the start of this rom

Really

appreciate everything you have done and continue to do. the work that you have done here in less than a week is absolutly amazing. I have been using this as my daily rom for about 4 days now and cant belive how stable it is. There is only one thing that bugs me and from what I have read you where finally ale to duplicate it so im sure your working on it. if there is anything I can do to help please let me know.

I have been very happy to be a part of this in the small way that i have. this thread stopped me from moving to another forum when all the crap started happening.

dont get discoureged by the trolls there are many many more people that support and appreciate everything you have done.

P.S. happy belated b-day

Your work and dedication has been astonishing. Greatly apretiated can't wait to see what you do next.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sefferdog:
did you try restoring it with spaces in it? You can rename it whatever you want, but if you want to restore it you will have to do it from ADB if you have spaces in it. You might want to investigate a bit before you post, I did.

Force Closes

This is a great ROM. I love it and the creativity of the folks who put it together. Had the astronomers and engineers who put together Hubble been similarly minded, likely that beautiful scientific instrument would never have been realized. I appreciate the kind of work that developers have done, especially so freely. I am amazed by the kinds of things that internet collaboration can bring about. Look at this very thread and the bugs that have been stomped, the help given. So, thanks to those who have made my phone a more desireable piece of equipment (at least to me).

I don't know if others have posted about this, but for those who are having a lot of Force Close (FC) issues, I have found that on about seven of my apps where I have had problems with it, I have been able to get it working by uninstalling and reinstalling. There have been a couple of times where I have had to do this twice. But each time it has worked. I don't know if this is any help, but that has been my experience.

I have also had the login issues, but its really no big deal to me. I don't power down that often.

Finally, in contrast to a previous poster I think this ROM is fine for my permanent use. At least as far as anything can be permanent in dealing with things like Moore's Law and its corollaries. Again, thanks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] -Apollo-:
I'm telling you Agimax, everything was fine before I flashed the keyboard! I have no explanation but that's what happened. I was just sharing my experience but thanks for trying to make me sound like I don't know what I'm talking about. Guess I will just stick to reading rather than posting, I was just trying to help out
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Agimax:
I'm not trying to be rude, but usually when only 1 or 2 people have issues it is something specific to the way they did something, maybe it was the reboot. I will take another look at the files tomorrow, but i have to restore my bricked phone at the moment. Bringing over AOSP dialer is going to be harder than the Voice Keyboard.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Seanc13:
I dont think anyone has been able to answer yet, but when i leave an application, the black htc screen shows up and then sense reloads, and thats every time I leave an application or anything else, and yes I tried wiping and reflashing.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Agimax:
LOL I will stand corrected, like i stated in the original post, the backup let me pick it (at that point i stopped). At least now all the guessing can be laid to rest once and for all. My hats off to you.

@Damageless

Please ignore all the people that have nothing better to do than watch this thread skyrocket (because this ROM rocks so much) and then jump on the bandwagon any time anyone says something bad.

I have 0 (zero) issues. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this ROM in what I use it for. I use GPS, camera, bluetooth, wireless tether, browsing, texting, mms on a daily basis and this ROM does all those things super freakin fast and totally stable.

So every once in a while I have to logon to google if I restart my phone. Come on people how often are you turning your phones off? Seriously! And what does it take another 20 seconds?

We have the luxury of getting a taste (a super yummy taste) of 2.1, and I, for one, am very grateful for damageless. And I'm proud to show other people what the culmination of work by the devs here at XDA put into a pot and stirred and spiced by damageless has allowed me to be able to do with my phone.

Ignore the naysayers damageless, they get off on being negative and spoiling the party. Always have, and always will. There's way more lovers of this ROM on this thread then haters.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] swaze:
Most of the people talking about they aren't using the ROM haven't even flashed it. They are simply reading about issues "some" are having. Ignore them because they are the epitome of the word IGNORANT.

Keep up the good work damage.

I am seeing the same thing and my awake time is very high. When I checked it said my phone was set to CDMA Auto PRL. I changed it to CDMA but then I can only connect at 1X. I also have the new radio. I will take this issue into the radio thread and see what others are getting.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] keeneraver:
I am not trying to get on any bandwagon for bashing the ROM, everything works amazingly on it (was very impressed with bluetooth quality) but I had to ask... did anyone else have any loss of audio while receiving calls on BT? My install did this twice (had the Rosie installed). Both times, I wiped and reinstalled and noticed it with the first time receiving calls on Bluetooth. No audio even for outbound calls after initial loss while d/c'ed from BT, followed by loss of ability to send/receive sms until power cycle. Anyone else?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] redram38:
I Love this ROM but I keep losing my HTC widgets. I had them at first and after a reboot they are gone. Sometimes they come back other times they don't. This last time I lost them when I flashed Godzsons complete Onyx 2.1.zip. Did a nandroid restore and only a few came back. I have read in this thread a few others that lost widgets. Is there a fix for getting these to stick? I will re-flash the Rom and see what happens but before this has not fixed it either. I had to wipe, go back to 1.5 then re-flash 2.1 to get them back. BUT they then seem to go away again.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] redram38:
Update to the above post. I uninstalled the HTC battery widget and downloaded and installed it again and all the widgets came back. Let's see if they stay when I try and flash Godzson again. I wish I had the know how to do this stuff but I know with the brilliant minds here someone will figure this thing out. Thx again for a GREAT ROM Damage.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] ItsDon:
Damageless I understand your frustration but please do not let it get to you. As you correctly stated there are far more folks here in awe of your accomplishment than there are noisy children with nothing better to do.

When I first started flashing ROM's on my phone I had a Touch Pro 2 and Mighty Mike was my absolute favorite dev, great roms and awesome support (sound familiar? ;) ) He also had to deal with occasional courtesy challenged person and at one point threatened to simply stop doing what he was doing which would have been shame. He found the light by simply ignoring them and moving on. For the most part the good folks in the forum handled the detractors so he didn't have too, worked out pretty well.

Yes, you will get stung by meaningless harsh words but please realize that they are just that, meaningless. I don't post a lot because I'm terribly happy with this rom so please keep doing what you do, myself and my phone appreciate you.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jpeepers:
I was having the same problem. What cured it for me was to do another wipe but also wipe the ext. So wipe +ext and then flash the ROM again.

Worked for me, hope it helps?

No clue what's going on with this considering I've never done this before.

Handcent is sending MMS and SMS messages just fine on my phone. I have the MMS fix applied and latest version of Handcent.

really??? wtf... idk y mines wont let me send messages if i have more than 30 if anyone can shine some light id appreciate it
[Hero CDMA Android Development] durandetto:
Are you sure it's not working? I thought the same thing because my internal memory was dropping slightly as I added app after app., but someone said that the apps. data and cache are still stored on the phone. Try using Quick System info from the market it tells you how much space is left on your partition and on your phone. I dled like 30 apps and my internal storage dropped like 10-15mb while my partition storage dropped like 50-60mb. And some of the apps./ games were 5-10mb.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] durandetto:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] Dan330:
damage....

Thanks for all your great work!

This ROM is working almost perfect for me!

Installed it Friday Night... and it is stable and fast!.

I did a full wipe.. every wipe option in the recovery mode.

and it went pretty smooth.

Those with issues.. Might want to look at wiping everything. and try again.

I am using handcent and it works great! Have not done the MMS test, but I dont do a lot of that anyways.

There are 2 thing questions:

1.. have you looked at the new Radio? Do you think we should upgrade or leave it alone?

2.. I had Modaco 2.2ROM before.. and my phone would always ask which "home" do I want to set as default. After a full wipe and new 2.1 ROM... and 2 days of use... I have that same issue back. Anybody else seeing this??

[Hero CDMA Android Development] getut:
Can anyone confirm or deny the problem I posted a few pages back.

Ever since going to this ROM, if I add contacts from the phone itself they never show up after hitting save.

I wiped then installed also. Also wiped Dalvik cache.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] SeanFL:
Hi Getut

I just created a new gmail contact called 'damage test' and gave it fake email and phone then hit save. It showed up on the phone, and after the phone synced with the cloud, it also showed up in my gmail account.

so for me it worked fine.

Sean
[Hero CDMA Android Development] getut:
Thanks for the verification. I guess I'll wipe one more time then test creation of contacts right after installation. Then try restoring my Titanium backup and try it again.

I never wiped the SDcard because I don't have a need for apps2sd. Could this be a problem caused by that?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wtphoto:
just for Sh*%s and giggles I RUUd last night and re-rooted then flashed DCv1 right from stock and everything works great all the small bugs I had with the exception of 2 (apps that need network and facebook syncing all contacts) are gone and I dont really care about the facebook issue as I dont have that many contacts. if we can figure out what the deal is with the apps then I am good to go. has anyone gotten a logcat to damage for the app issue? if not ill get one to him.

I think I may start working on some icons packs for this. are there any requests as far as looks?

EVDO Rev 0??

I have had the ROM since the beginning and love it...@Damage I hope you got the donation.

Question regarding Sprint. I was going through screens and found something interesting and hope you on this board can enlighten me.

Settings > About Phone > Netwwork > Mobile Network Type > CDMA EvDo rev 0

I know Sprint was having issues with the Hero's showing rev 0 but they kept claiming it was rev A and just a typo mistake. My Hero was one that had this issue.

What could the reason be for it showing rev 0 on this ROM? I seem to be getting good speed, but this is just odd to me it would be on this ROM.

This is not a performance issue, just a curiosity I was hoping someone could answer. Thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jonnythan:
Are you using the stock radio? I had heard that the reason it wasn't fixed in the official maintenance release was because it was part of the radio ROM.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] jonnythan:
I've had issues with the browser lately. It tends to just quit, often right up starting up. I'm not sure why it's doing this.

I have noticed that the system tends to be very aggressive with memory management. I always seem to have 55+ MB free no matter what, which seems entirely excessive. So maybe the system is terminating the browser becuase of that? I don't know.
