I appreciate all of you hard work DAMAGE but I have had the same issue.. I want to use this rom so bad!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MrTrip:
Good lord don't RUU. Its not very nice to phones right now.

Back up whatever you want, apps, txts, etc. I use SMS Backup and Restore and ASTRO to backup my SMS and my Apps

Wipe data, ext partition, and davilik (whatever).

Flash ROM to phone. Make sure you are flashing the correct ROM...sounds dumb but some people rename the zip to update.zip, and forget what update it is. I never change names on zips and they flash just fine.

Reboot phone, should boot into Damage.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] robchaos:
Could it be possible that even with a full dalvik cache and data wipe, certain aspects of whatever rom was previously run could still be hanging around causing problems? That might explain why some people have certain problems, other people have different problems, but nobody using this ROM ever has every problem ever reported at once.

Would it help with the documentation of issues if people started reporting what ROM they came from when they report their problem?

Only major problem I had was my previously reported call audio not working and ringer not un-muting. Came from gumbo 1.5c with a full dalvik/data wipe.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fatcobra:
I ran the RUU back to 1.56 and then re-rooted and damagecontrol was the first rom i flashed and ran for two days.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zikronix:
ok here we go...im comming from gumbo. ive wiped everything, i thought of even going to stock 1.5 and re rooting but i dont think thats necessary. im flashing now...and im armed with my mms fix. as thats all ive found so far that i will probably need. ill let you know soon
[Hero CDMA Android Development] goku14238:
anyone having this alarm issue with their phone? I can't get any installed app to work.. None of the alarms go off. Like Alarm Klock
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ro_bro:
Can someone post the 'quickoffice' app? I need it to view certain word docs, etc.

Thank you.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ro_bro:
never mind, found it myself. It was in Fresh's prekitchen 0.2 tool.

Thx Fresh!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] troyboytn:
Quick Office attached
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ro_bro:
never mind, found it myself. It was in Fresh's prekitchen 0.2 tool.

Thx Fresh!

EDIT:

ugh, tried installing via Astro, and it won't install. Says "Application not installed" Anyone else have success?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] goku14238:
there you go!

EDIT: NVM someone beat me too it, lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] goku14238:
you can just try pushing it to system through adb
[Hero CDMA Android Development] JsChiSurf:
Edit: Yep, pushing the file does the trick.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ro_bro:
I tried installing originally via Astro. This time, I just used the freshkitchen itself and used the 'install' button there to install quickoffice. Worked fine. I love the kitchen.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] Agimax:
So i will appologize for any rudeness or grummpiness, i was in a sleepy mood and some posts just hit me wrong. I have been putting in lots of time i don't have trying to bring over 'AOSP'ish type goodies and keep my phone bricked more than i like.

That said, i have tried for over 2 hours to get my multitouch to stop working and cannot. I don't know what i have different than anyone else, but i checked out the Permissions XML file after flashing and it doesn't reflect a date change. Anyway for 'Peaceful' solutions i'm keeping an open mind from here on and also attaching the file you provided built into the VoiceKeyboard Flash & also separately for those who need it. My guess is maybe order of flashing patches or wipes may be the culprit, but honestly i'm not going to take more TS time since people who have problems get it working anyway.

I have noticed permissions are quirky with some programs, ex. Louder Volume Hack i had to change permission of directories even with whitelist permissions running and reboot, but didn't in 1.5 & 2.0 -So who knows.

Also my attempts at getting the dialer from AOSP over with 'Sense' running have been futile. I have got it to show up, but can't get past other dependencies with 'Sense' running. It looks slim at this point:(

I Think this ROM kicks ass and Damage ought to be PROUD of his work!:D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tmidle8575:
Apology accepted. I know I have my grumpy, rude, (fill in bad word here) moments. I wasn't asking you to make a fix for it, but thank you for taking a few minutes to do that. I'm not really sure why it did it either, but it seems at least a handful of people had the issue of multi-touch not working right after flashing the keyboard. No biggie since a fix has been posted now. Thank you (again) for the keyboard, it is my favorite! And, thank you for the other AOSP things that you have been bringing or trying to bring over. When you get the dialer, please do not hesitate to post. If it's the one I'm thinking of, I love that dialer too. Have a screenshot?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tstack77:
Where do you change it, I tried in both the people and speed dial screen?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] lgevo:
yea same prob i was having idk its either me an u are dead an ghosts and no one knows we are here.. or they have no idea how to fix it i assume. Mine stopped for awhile and started again idk wtf is going one with this sms error. I was hoping the mms fix would fix it but no luck

I am having this problem. Very annoying. I also cannon send MMS with with build.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Agimax:
Have you pushed the new "build.prop" file to your phone or edited it to reflect the proper carrier info?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5874599&postcount=2482
[Hero CDMA Android Development] lgevo:
We are not having problems with mms our issue is sms error keeps popin up. Pops up even when I am doing something else an it randomly syartex. I can still txts. But that error randomly pops up. If your just having a mms problem check huge 1st page for a fix.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kellybrf:
dont have time to backread 2800 posts. just flashed from fresh 2.0 today and everything is great, very fast and stable so far. however my battery is draining quite quickly, is there any fix for that?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theadlee:
I am having this problem also. Very annoying. I also cannot send MMS messages with this build
[Hero CDMA Android Development] marcusva79:
Damage when is your update coming out? And what is there to expect?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zennode:
Ok two questions:

1. I am trying to set individual ringtones for each of my contacts and it is not letting me do so from my sd card. Ideas? Corrections? I had no issue with the 1.5 stock rom in this regards.

2. I keep getting an annoying text message 5 times each time someone leaves one voice message. Ideas?

Love the rom otherwise!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wtphoto:
1. had the same problem with downloaded ringtones from moblio all I did was move them from the moblio folder on the card to the ringtone folder and rebooted and all was well.

2. the text is for the visual voicemail app that we dont have if you use google voive or you mail etc. it will make you reprovision the voicemails coming in to the app.

lowmemorykiller

I was experiencing problems with the aggressive memory killing settings, similar to what others have stated in this thread. Specifically, I run Locale, and it seems that events weren't triggering when they were supposed to, and I'm thinking it was likely because the background process was being killed that maintains / switches my various system settings on trigger events (power, location, time, etc).

I grabbed and applied the lowmemorykiller settings into gumbo.sh, from the 'gumbo kernel thread', set for "less aggressive", and my problem appears to be resolved. If you are having similar issues, these are the settings that are working well for me:

echo "1536,3072,4096,10240,12800,15360" > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree

I run a memory widget in the taskbar, and can therefore keep an eye on things if memory gets too low, and manually kill tasks I KNOW no longer need to be running. I'd rather manually monitor, than arbitrarily kill stuff off automatically. YMMV.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] blackmang:
can someone helop, i installed thsi and now all it does it let me slide down the screen, force close both android and htc sence

Hey goku I am running Better Alarm from the Market, with no problems. I am running v1.0 expresso with Fresh's new radio. Thanks to all the Devs that made this Great Rom.:cool:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] goku14238:
ok, ill try that one

EDIT: Nope, the alarm never goes off.. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG!?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kellybrf:
you have to wipe before flashing
[Hero CDMA Android Development] durandetto:
Start over with a new download of the ROM wipe your phone and ext. partition if you have had a2sd before and reflash the ROM. Make sure to read through this post carefully most problems have been answered here; http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5831848&postcount=1

Desk Clock Weather Fix

Anyone found a fix to the weather in the DeskClock yet? I have looked everywhere. Pretty much my only issue now! Thanks Again Damage!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
Interesting...

Sprint TV seems to function fine after a full wipe.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] x99percent:
For those having SMS and MMS issues:

I am having *no* issues with SMS or MMS, so maybe you're doing something wrong. ;)

1. Did you wipe before and/or after flashing the ROM?

2. Are you using Handcent?

3. DID YOU SEARCH THE THREAD?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] swears11:
Just want to give you props on this rom.

This is the best one that I've used so far (I know I say that every time I get a new rom though lol, but its true).

does anyyone have a nfl apk that will work on this rom all the ones i have will install but force close upon opening

Alarm

Goku, I had no problems with my alarm going off this morning. Sorry I can't tell you a fix, just letting you know mine worked. Using the stock clock / alarm
[Hero CDMA Android Development] VoXHTC:
Damageless, your ROM blows my socks, toenails and lint off my feet! Fastest, most daily usable ROM in the HERO section. EVERYTHING I need and use on a daily works. Only quirks that don't bother me, is of course the 3D Gallery and switching it to landscape and a little static with bluetooth, Beyond that, perfection. Fantastic job!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MrTrip:
NOT sure if this is because of DamageControl or Handcent...

Got a picture message, went to forward it to my email, fudged up the email and decided to back out of it completely and just xfer via SD card. Handcent said "Your message will be discarded with no valid recipient" and I hit OK....

IT DELETED THE PICTURE TOO

I'm never getting that picture again. Arghhhh pissed.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Tenny:
Sprint? If so go to sprint's picturemail website. :)

[Hero CDMA Android Development] epiphany9x:
Dunno if anyone noticed, but the way to disable all your contacts from GMail from showing is to go to People > Menu > View... not People > Groups anymore. This drove me crazy for a while.

Htc Force Close

Hey I really need help I just rooted my hero for the first time using thersethatguys's Gudie to root on windows and backed up everything up I put this rom on my sd card and flashed it but the nexus one loader comes up and passes but when it boots the whole thing force closes.. I dont know whats the problem I dont know if its because i havent partitioned my sd card ...but I looked at another post and it said to wipe the sd ext and I did and I loaded it back on again and still force close and I renamed it update.zip and everything
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MrTrip:
Ha! Amazing. I have recovered pictures I thought long gone :D Sprint is awesome!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kungpow:
Could you be a little more specific with what you did? What did you use to back up with? What recovery image did you use?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PRGUY85:
Great ROM. For the people that can't use Google Voice, don't use Youmail with this ROM. It doesn't let the phone go to sleep, having awake time go up.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tl883:
Hi

I wanted to install the espresso but somehow it gives me an error.

corrupt file

System/lib/libskia.so

what does this mean?? :S

nvm windows - usb extention - htc... sometimes things get lost by coping :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] getut:
Can anyone recommend a way to find out what is sucking my battery dry? I had other issues I finally got resolved but now my battery is draining incredibly fast.

I went through 12% in 30 minutes this morning after unplugging.

If I reboot and do nothing, battery usage is only slightly above normal.. but if I reboot and do basically anything that starts an app, my battery starts going incredibly fast and the back of my hero stays very warm.

SMS Error

Hi All

So my phone was working fantastically for about a week now then all of a sudden last night it started getting this error

SMS Error Cause Code:34 Error Class:2

I checked my memory and it is fine. I rebooted and it still comes up trying to send a message. I did a full wipe prior to install and never had handcent.

Any ideas?

Screen Timeout

I searched and searched, but couldnt come up with anything. Does anyone else notice that the screen will dim, but not completely timeout and turn off?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dmc971989:
just installed Helix launcher from the market onto DC v1.0 , i think this rom is now complete... :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rufflez2010:
This is probably why my awake time is so high. I'll try to remember hitting the end button everytime. I was wondering why double tapping menu was SOOOO fast.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] goku14238:
weird, i have no idea why my alarm will not go off.. For any of the applications I download.. Even with the stock one.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] swaze:
Did you remove the Sense lockscreen? I think doing so causes a problem with the alarm.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] no12vn:
Thanks, I needed that setting changed as well. Damage's Rom is excellent! I have been impressed with all of the Roms here. I use to own a Samsung moment and all of their custom Roms at sdx had visual glitches. It drove me crazy. I love the hero and all of the hard work that Damage, Fresh, and the other guys are doing here. Fantastic. I will be donating on Friday. I love it!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] goku14238:
no I still have the original lockscreen

EDIT: NVM just tested my alarm out and it works now for some odd reason.. don't know what I did
[Hero CDMA Android Development] getut:
Jeez... how am I supposed to troubleshoot anything when Sprint keeps changing stuff on their network? I have to hit a moving target :D:D:D.

Something changed about an hour ago here. I made no changes to my phone and the "Time without signal" has dropped to 1% from a previous low for the last couple of days of 51%.

Don't know what they did but I like it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
Hoping to release something later today with a few small updates. However, no promises because it is a very busy day for me.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] lacs_on22s:

any hint on what will be included in the future update, and will it be applied as a simple update.zip?

[Hero CDMA Android Development] typeadam:
Just flashed - already love it BUT I was under the impression that the 2.1 Search Box searched EVERYTHING! Not only internet but also your contacts, files, programs, etc...? Like the Droid... Am I doing something wrong?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dmc971989:
i was wondering about this as well, it works like that in the fresh 2.0b rom (and yes i know it uses different frameworks)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] crunchybutternut:
Go to Settings > Search > Searchable Items. Check the items you want searched and Presto!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] typeadam:
Excellent, thanks! Now I'm completely in love w/ this!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sadalius:
Is there a way to get this rom to use the 6 signal bar icon sets instead of the 4?? Sorry if this has already been asked and or answered.

Thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] swears11:
I was wondering if anyone else was experiencing this issue.

When I go to settings -> about -> system updates, I get a force close. I've tried restarting the phone.

Is this a bug?

Thanks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chfields:
I get that too...I think it is because this is a custom ROM and there are no official updates...but I could be wrong.....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 4SidedDie:
Your correct.. I do remember though with the JesusFreke ROMS that was enabled cause there would be an update on his roms almost every 3 days
[Hero CDMA Android Development] azfxstb:
Just FYI to people...SipDroid no likey this ROM. Not sure of other 2.1 roms but this one makes my Sip Client sound like somekinda alien when attempting connections in case this is something people use.

I actually just wanted to do a prl update, which I would think is included in their. Is their a manual way of doing this?

I just used the guide to root hero on windows It says 1.5.2 recovery image
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mercado79:
Not sure about where to find one that'll work, but I thought I'd point out that Sprint has lost the NFL to Verizon. Officially, the switch is happening when the draft starts next week (I think).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mercado79:
You need to install the official Facebook app in order to see the "Sync Contacts" option.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sirchuk:
This is an Eris rom designed for the Verizon network, so the updating won't work.

You can however download the zip file:

How to install it:

I haven't done it yet (I'm here right now for the same reason) but I'll let ya know how it goes with the above instructions once I find my MSL..

Edit:

Yeah, not going to call Sprint and go through the hassle to get my MSL because I can't update my PRL with this ROM. Is there another way to install the PRL update or am I going to have to drop back to 1.5?

My data speeds are in the crapper and I can't get above 1 bar on this ROM, but I used to have full service with other ROMs. I'm not sure what the deal is.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jzmjr:
i dont know if anyone esle is experiencing this, but i'm having trouble receiving emails.

Holy Scheiße, there's still no HOME button in the browser?!?! Someone please tell me I'm wrong and just too stupid to see it!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] killerxx2:
For everyone who is having problems with this draining battery i have seen that damageless hasn't removed the GSD.apk removing it has helped my battery. to do this you connect your phone to the computer make sure usb debugging is enabled.

Pull up your cmd go to your adb dir mine is

cd C:/android-sdk-windows/tools

adb remount

adb shell

cd /system/app/

rm GSD*

ls (check and see if it has been removed) (optional)

exit

adb reboot

it has helped my battery life a lot

ps. damageless can you see about removing this in your next release
[Hero CDMA Android Development] KBizzle:
Thanks but what is GSD and how is it affecting battery life?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] killerxx2:
GSD is a HTC test app that was draining battery life it was removed in fresh 2.0b were i have had better battery life with that rom
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrbook:
Has anyone have any issues with Uconnect bluetooth systems, It's able to pair fine but does not connect between the phone and car.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ItsDon:
Might those small updates include:

LED Text notification?

Wired Tethering?

Just curious ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] typeadam:
I think I'm one of the people who has no issues with the LED but the button lights don't work...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sirchuk:
Good catch! I'm surprised nobody caught this before. I noticed it was removed in the fresh ROM so I figured it was here too, guess not!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] JsChiSurf:
Voice Search Commands

Found this in the Nexus One manual, for those interested in what voice commands you can use for the search box:

Say “Call,” followed by a name from your contacts, followed by the kind of phone number (“mobile,” “work,” and so on)—for example, “Call Mike home.” If there is a single match, the number is dialed automatically.

Say “Directions to,” followed by an address, name, business name, type of business, or other destination, to get directions to that location from Google Maps.

Say “Navigate to,” followed by an address, name, business name, type of business, or other destination to get spoken, turn-by-turn directions to that destination.

Say “Map of,” followed by an address, name, business name, type of business, or other location, to view that location on Google Maps.

Unfortunately, that's all there appears to be, in terms of voice commands, for now.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] marcusva79:
Has anyone experienced anything while on calls, you accidently hang up on the caller because the screen does not turn off? And your cheek presses the end button?
