[edit] **** it, beat me to it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MrTrip:
Well, I gave up on Sense, and I'm running the Helix launcher.....so....what would this do for me? Make things snappier?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] justinisyoung:
i haven't tested it with HelixLauncher, but i don't see why JIT woudln't work with helix. give it a try.

and yes, it'll make it all snappier. i wrote that on the post you quoted :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obelisk79:
the version of jit floating around if I remember correctly is incomplete and rather buggy.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] justinisyoung:
i've heard that, but it works fine for me :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] regaw_leinad:
Well I'm using my own hacked version of SetCPU... see if you can beat my speed!

what a ****ty photoshop job lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tstack77:
This is the only real annoyance for me as well. I asked damages to work with gbhil on creating a variant that had more forgiving/moderate kernel settings, but then his update schedule completely halted...

I have tried using AutoKiller from the market to adjust the mem settings, but I can't find the correct combo to make a difference.

Has anyone had success manually changing this?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] justinisyoung:
changing the memkill settings to make them less aggressive isn't difficult at all, actually. using ES File Explorer, make sure you have root access on your phone. navigate to /system/init.d and you'll see a gumbo.sh file in there. simply open that as Text, using ES Edit Note, and change the values to what you want. if it's too much hassle for you, i could post a flashable zip to settings that you want.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] JsChiSurf:
I posted earlier in this thread what a more reasonable setting is for editing the existing memory killing settings. See Here
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nebenezer:
Thanks Justin and JsChiSurf!

I knew you could adjust the lowmem settings fairly easily but I haven't done it yet, I'll try my hand at it tonight and watch it for a couple days.

*edit - WOW this was really easy! I use Root Explorer, it's VERY streamlined and I just realized it has a text editor. Thanks again guys!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
I don't currently plan on adjusting the memkill settings in my next release. It is easy to change, and the current settings seem to be working great. If you adjust the memkill settings, the browser likely won't close on you.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sporkman:
next release ..... WHEN
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
I am thinking Wednesday right now.

This is my last day on vacation after proposing.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] watzone69:
Hey damageless! Still on vacation? Hope it's going well.

My phone is running fine. Being the flashing addict that I am though, I'm looking forward to your next release.

EDIT: Oops, I was one post too late!

[Hero CDMA Android Development] ElAguila:
Has anyone seen this pop up before? If so how do you fix it. Everything was running great. I went to use the reboot from the quickboot. I had never used it before and a thing came up that said superuser permissions but underneath insead of the allow, deny buttons it only had this:

+ 10052:10052 0:0 /system/bin/sh

It won't let me allow the command to run.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] watzone69:
That's weird. Is your USB debugging still on in settings-applications-development?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Las_Vegas:
Missing Sync

Tried the current DC yesterday. Worked with it for a couple of hours without problems. A little heavy in the /system/app folder making it real tight to add back the Sprint apps… Then I came upon the deal breaker. Being a Mac user, I rely on Missing Sync for backups and syncing. The DC rom makes the phone invisible to Missing Sync when mounted. I'm guessing the vendor ID may have changed on the mounted SD card.

I'm looking forward to the next update! :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] david279:
Hey guy don't push your sprint apps to /system/app just install them normally and they'll be installed in /data/app where you'll have a good bit of space.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ElAguila:
Yep. Debug is still on. I am going to just flash it again but only wipe the davlik and see what happens.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] keyofhappy:
ok, so can i get the white taskbar? or is it in the process, or does it just not work?

any help would be great.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
i tried this rom and although it is damn fast i had to uninstall because most of my beloved themes wont work and i cannot update the prl to the newest, my signal was horrid. :(

nice preview of things to come though!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] spiritcrusher33:
im still on fresh 2.0b.. rock solid.. but i do wish i could find a all black theme,,like i had on fresh 1.1,,lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ItsDon:
To update your PRL nandroid back to any 1.5 based rom then update your PRL to the latest 662. You can now install (or nandroid back) any 2.1 rom you choose, your updated PRL will remain.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
weird becuase i was on a custom 1.5 rom before and it reverted back to an older prl version? :confused:

anyways ill just wait until 2.1 comes out, thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] weedman91:
so i put this rom on my phone yesterday. it starts up but when i unlock it my home page isnt loaded up it just shows the htc logo and keeps saying force close htc sense and force close htc hero or something. i went back to the stock rom. do you guys kno why this is happening?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] spiritcrusher33:
well im off to try darchlegend 4.1..we will see how it goes..lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sporkman:
if your talking about the signal bars your its not your signal the theme just has less bars period

themes the theme on the phone is fine imho prl if you updated the prl when on 1.5 no need to update again
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sporkman:
why dont you just post step by step lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
i know it has less bars but i only had a 1 bar signal, that's pretty bad.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ElAguila:
Well I am not sure what is happening. Something must have gotten corrupted. Everytime I press home and very frequently when i scroll from one screen to the other senseUI restarts. This hasn't happened before so I know it is nothing wrong with the rom. I guess it is time to wipe the data again.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
weird...i had issues on my 1.5 rom today all of the sudden too...nothing but force closes everywhere after wiping the cache. that's when i tired 2.1 and then decided to go back to 1.5 pancake.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] weedman91:
i tried putting the rom on again and also tried the fresh rom and im getting errors saying the process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly force close/ process com.android.phone has stopped/the app htc sense has stopped. Why is this do i first have to wipe than install the rom. iam rooted currently using a stock sprint cdma rom.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ElAguila:
Tried the fix uid but no help. I was wanting to hold off on doing a data wipe but I have not been able to find a solution.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] weedman91:
so i tried doing a nandroid restore after i got all the errors and i get, ERROR:run nandroid-mobile.shrestore' via adb. i used the back up yesterday wen i went back to stock from damagecontrol rom but its not workinbg for fresh 2.0b. i need sum help please.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smw6180:
Did you wipe everything? Including ext if you were using a2sd?

Wipe factory default

Wipe dalvik cache

Wipe ext partitoin

(optionally you might want to repartition your SD card, if you were using a2sd previously).

Then reflash and try it again.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] weedman91:
ok so i got it to restore connected it to my pc and tried nandroid and it worked. so now your saying to wipe everything in the recovery? i have not used a2sd before so should i just wipe and reflash and not worry about the ext?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smw6180:
If you've never partitioned your SD card for apps2sd then no you don't need to wipe ext.

But yes if you have been having problems, always wipe and reflash.

Edit: If you're still having problems, that is.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tmidle8575:
The signal bars on this ROM are not a reliable indicator for your signal strength, they tend to show less bars than you actually have. Mine often show 1 or no bars when I live right next to a tower and know I have full signal. To check actual signal strength I suggest re-flashing, going to Settings -> About Phone -> Network -> Signal Strength. Post Back here what it says there and someone will tell you if your signal strength is actually good or not.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] weedman91:
so i wipe them even if i am coming from the stock hero rom correct. because i am a noob to the whole android thing and dont want to brick.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ElAguila:
Great! Got my issue solved. I do to do the long way but I found an offending app that was causing the issue.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] weedman91:
so i did a wipe and got the rom to work but is there a way not to do a device restore and keep all your data from before and upgrade to the new rom? because in the beggining of this thread it says wipe is not nessescary. how can i do this because when i tried i got all those errors.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jakejm79:
First off I want to say great job to damage on this ROM, I had tried Fresh 2.0b2 and this seems to be a bit better (wireless tether works without any workarounds and PDF Reader is included). Also kudos to the person who mentioned SMS popup (great workaround for allowing the LED to work with the stock messaging app).

Now I have two issues:

1. General SMS error, seems to happen when I try to send a text longer than 160 chars, and will continue to pop up until i delete the offending message from the thread and reboot. Also it seems to interfere with sending of any SMS before rebooting. Not a big deal I can split messages myself but I have a question on that to follow.

2. FC of messaging app, this occurs when i have the phone in landscape and click on the message part of the HTC messaging widget, if I click on the menu part and then go into the thread it is fine.

Now I understand that Handcent has an option to split messages longer than 160 chars, how does this differ to the stock messaging app? i.e. do they show differently on the receivers end? I assume it depends on their phone. (sorry for the OT question just trying to find the best work around).

I will also try reflashing the MMS fix, I did it last time without a reboot after flashing the rom and I hear that might mean it isnt applied properly, I'm thinking that maybe 160+ chars SMS might be treated a little like a MMS.

Other than these two things I love the rom, and neither are deal killers, just trying to find the best work around. everything else (other than the obvious stuff on the 1st page) works great.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] weedman91:
so i got this rom installed but i cant figure out how to save apps to sd and i cant find the a2sd app. can someone help me out?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] watzone69:
As it says in the first post (you read the first post... right?): You MUST wipe if you are coming from a different ROM. What he means is that you don't have to wipe if you were using an earlier version of DamageControl. I always wipe, both factory reset and dalvik cache.

The best way to keep your apps and data is to use a backup app. I like "MyBackup Pro" but it's not cheap ($4.99). Some people use "Titanium Backup" for their apps and app settings.

Apps2sd is not an application. It is something that is cooked into some ROMs that automagically works if you partition your SD card. You can partition your card from the recovery screen. FIRST, COPY ALL OF YOUR STUFF OFF OF YOUR SD TO YOUR COMPUTER! PARTIONING WILL ERASE YOUR FILES! Once you're in the recovery screen pick "Partition sdcard"-"Partition SD" and then follow the prompts. You can just use the default values (I make my swap=0 though) and let it do it's stuff. Once it's done, copy all of your files back to your sd card and you're good to go. Now, any apps you install (and any you already had installed) will be put on the EXT portion (you won't see this part) of your SD.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
Thanks for helping people out :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jus10o:
About the Handcent sms. No it is not different. It sends a normal text and the person receiving doesnt no the difference. Stock messaging is just an app, like handcent.

For the MMS fix. Try wiping, dalvik and everything. Flash the rom, and then after it boots up, skip the setup screen, let everything load, turn the phone off and boot up into recovery, and then flash the MMS fix.

I flashed the rom and the MMS fix at the same time the first time and had a ton of errors, the above method worked for me.

You are partly right about over 160 being MMS, if it splits the text properly it is just simply 2 or more normal text messages. On my old instinct i had to send MMS messages if it was over 160 char, or type 2 normal text out, which was a pain.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aaron130:
I started a thread tyo try to get an answer but noone answered me so maybe someone here can help. Ever since flashing this ROM when I go back to 1.5 it shows the sound as off in my taskbar. On ANY 1.5 ROM it does this. It has the icon of the sound off. I even RUU'ed and re-rooted and it STILL does it. But I nand restore back to 2.1 and its fine. Any suggestions how to fix this?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sladehawke:
To both of you, this is off-topic, but bars are just a useless estimation of signal strength without representing the noise floor (the difference between the two is known as EC/I0).

It's all relative in a CDMA, where all phones transmit on the same frequency at the same time...using the minimum power necessary to differentiate themselves from each other. Even though all other calls other phones are making is interference, the system is based on raking multipath data to differentiate your own signal. (In GSM, it's just noise, whereas CDMA necessitates a rake receiver analyzing the "noise")

While the phone can derive a signal strength for the forward link, it has no idea what the (a) reverse link or (b) the noise floor looks like until it is actually making a call. I don't know what HTC makes the bars represent, but I can tell you they don't represent what the reverse link looks like unless you have an active connection. That's why you might have 3 bars until you make a call, and then all the bars disappear: the forward link TO the phone is good only to find out that the previously unknown reverse link FROM the phone is awful.

In other words, bars truly are meaningless, unless they Signal Quality _Estimate_ just happened to be a good one.... hahaha. That's why it doesn't matter if phones have 4,5, or 10 bars on the display. It is an estimate and you shouldn't put much faith on it. With good signal strength (4 out of 4 bars) and a super busy tower ("high noise floor" will equate to low EC/I0) you can't make a call... Conversely, with a weak signal (0 bars) and a lonely tower (low noise floor and thus a high EC/I0), you might be able to have a call. Sucks huh? The point is, knowing one without the other is pretty useless and you can't know them both unless you are making a call. Even then, things can change fast when someone closer to the tower makes a phone call.

The point is... bars are just as useless as the signal strength number.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jakejm79:
Thank you, that is what I thought, just wasn't sure since Handcent shows them has split on my end too, (i.e. I type a 250 char text and handcent will show it has a 160 and 90, stock will show it has just the 260), I am just not sure how it is done on the receivers end, wasn't sure if they had a similarly capable phone if it would auto merge them back together or not, i assume it wouldnt coming from Handcent, not a big deal anyway, just a curiosity thing.

MMS works fine, I was just curious if it would help with my SMS 160+ problem, I tried and it didn't, interestingly enough, I didn't need the MMS fix to do MMS to Sprint, but did for sending to VZW.

Yes I think the stock app will split anything under 500 chars into 160 char SMS and anything more will be sent has an MMS.

Anyway I tried Darchlegend 4.1 and Fresh 2.0b/b2 and both suffer from the same issue, so seems like it is a problem with all 2.1 roms. But these are very minor things with simple work arounds.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jus10o:
I think that is just something htc added in the messaging, it showing as 250. It sends as 2 seperate text but on your screen it would show 1.

I like that feature, more simple to read. Handcent should include it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jus10o:
I know someone stated this earlier in a post. But I confirm.

To Update the prl.

Make a nano backup. Flash a 1.5 rom over your current 2.1 rom, I used gumbo's 1.5c rom. Then go to settings>about phone>software update and click on update prl. It does its magic, then boot up recovery, do a nano restore, and then your 2.1 rom has a updated prl.

While in the 1.5 rom just force close the apps that come up. They arent important.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rufflez2010:
Quick ? regarding Flash on this ROM. Is it Flash 10.1 as stated on the first page or Flash lite? I went to applications and it has HTC Flash lite and Flash Plugin. Thanks in advance. I haven't gotten Hulu to work yet so I'm curious. I checked the version of the ROM to make sure it wasn't 0.9999 and it says v1.0 in the firmware verson. Do I have to reflash the ROM you think?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] weedman91:
i cant get a2sd to work on this rom. i partition in recovery set swap to-64, ext2-512, and the apps are saving to phone. i tried formatting it and repartitioning it and its still not working. what should i do?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
Wow damage. i have been with you since day one. not much help after the first versions lol but i havnt tried V1 yet and i have it all tweaked out with the customizations. i just started up some apps and wow. this is the fastest rom i have ever used. i enabled JIT and i just cant believe it. thumbs up bro love the work.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] crunchybutternut:
Did you use the JIT instructions for 1.6?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tango22203:
somewhere in this post, someone mention that you can do it manually if you know your msl.i did it by calling sprint n they provided me with the code...good luck..if you wish i can send you the prl just pm your email.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] danaff37:
I had this same problem. Make sure you update the ext2 partition to ext3. It won't work on ext2 or ext4 (at least not for me). Also, some phone space will slowly be taken up but the majority will go to the card.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sporkman:
what is JIT ?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tmidle8575:
Isn't that basically what I said?

I'm not sure you proved that the Signal Strength shown in Decibels in the Settings Menu is useless. And while I'm no scientist and it very well may be useless, that is not really as much my concern. What I was more trying to show was that the dB reading on the same phone with the same radio will be consistent from ROM to ROM, even if the number of bars that you have is different. In this sense, the Signal Strength (dB) reading is not useless, but the number of bars showing from ROM to ROM is (which is what I was trying to point out to fixxxer2008.)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nebenezer:
Spork...

I like sense way too much to try it out, if you try it let us know how you like it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MrDanger:
JIT (Just In Time Compilation)

From what I read... it's suppose to be a faster compiler for the Android OS. JIT stands for

J

ust

I

n

T

ime. It suppose to convert code at runtime prior to execution for a performance boost... which makes since. I have heard it shattered bench marks, but I have not personally tried it myself. I'm still a noob in this Android universe. I also heard it was still pretty unstable... but who knows! I might just test it out this weekend! I might have to get in touch with Avalaunchmods to see how it run with DamageControl first.

More Info here.

ALSO KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK DAMAGE! CANT WAIT FOR THE NEXT RELEASE!

**Edit** I didnt mean to step on your toes there Nebenezer
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nebenezer:
Haha, it's all good. I got some tough shoes on.

I don't actually know much about jit, I just remembered it being discussed in this thread, trying to help out when/where ever I can!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] watzone69:
Are you sure? How are you testing to see if it is working? Do this...

Plug your phone in to your computer ("USB charge only") and open a command prompt. Make sure you cd to the directory where your "android-sdk-windows/tools" folder is. Type (or copy/paste)

adb remount
adb shell
ls /system/sd/app/

If it shows your apps then yes, apps2sd is working. It's going to put the apps on your sd card (you won't be able to see it by just looking at the sd card with a file browser) but it will also put a symlink in your device memory. The symlink is much smaller than the app would be so this does save device memory. Clear as mud, right?

Mine works fine with EXT2. You should not have to do this but I guess it doesn't hurt.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] watzone69:
Just trying to give a little back.:D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bobsbobbers:
Your A2SD explanation was a gem. Haven't been able to find a good rundown of it anywhere. Of note too is that wave secure is still lifetime free for android users who get it b4 the end of the month. I use it to backup sms.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] xdarkfluxx:
Everytime you restart the phone a new set of widgets load. Right now I have only the bookmark, clock, mail, photoalbum, photo frame, settings, and twitter widgets available.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nebenezer:
??? Do you mean on DC1? That's weird, I have not experienced this.

I'm really liking the 4x1 music widget, and the full screen weather animations are really cool! ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
okay i caved in and tried this rom, pretty good so far. ;)

not as much free ram as id like but it runs pretty smooth!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ASULutzy:
I've been using this rom, but for some reason the volume in calls, and the volume inside google navigation among other things is horrendously loud and I can't seem to turn it down. I searched the thread but couldn't find anything.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wtphoto:
I have found that with the more agressive settings (even though I helped to push damage to implement them in the last release) did not give me as much free ram as the less agressive settings. not sure why this is but with the more agressive settings I would stay around 30-35 and droped as low as 18 at times mow with the less agressive settings (tried them thinking it might help the LWP stick) I stay at about 46 so im a little confused but hey its a thought.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nebenezer:
At the suggestions of MrDanger and JsChiSurf I set my minfree to:

1536,3072,4096,10240,12800,15360

This rom is smooth as butter and I average between 65-85mb free ram, doing this also completely cured my browser of randomly closing.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nebenezer:
Sorry I don't have a better suggestion but have you tried "Audio Manager Console"?

It enables you to manage all off your volume levels on one screen. It works great for me but I've never had the problem you described.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wtphoto:
thats what ive got and still sitting at 46 but then again I have a TON of widgets running and even if im in helix I am running LWP and that eats a lot of ram too.
