Thanks for the speedy response. I appreciate not only the response, but for my first true look into what 2.1 will be like. As for rumors vs. fact in regards to the update, I do understand what you mean. Android patron since the G1, I know all about waiting for nonexsistant updates. Ill tell you what, and this is a personal promose, if the update doesnt come by the end of the month, you can bet ill be flashing right back to the latest and greatest that is Damagless.

A little confused, however...can I flash directly back to the original RUU, or radio, or what? Just the first step is all I need to get started.

Also a little confused as to why this post has no place in this thread? Perfectly legitimate question in the ROMS thread...and seeing as how I went from fresh to damage, and damage built off of fresh, I cant possibly imagine cluttering up the forum with a simple question that in no matter which way you look at it (left, right, from the inside of a cerial box) should be directed to the dev or main community using the rom? I fully understand that nowhere did it say to update the radio, but I can only assume damage could guess that a percentage of original fresh users might have the updated radio.

Amazing ROM damage, once again youve outdone yourself.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] energizer1389:
I finally flashed this darn thing on my phone, loaded all my apps, updated the radio. And Im loving it. If u have not decided to do so yet, here are my main reasons to suggest you do:

I updated from Fresh 1.1 to Damage Control 2.1 Expresso.

Way smoother performance.

Better battery life

A Working youtube app (finally) It works great

New 2.1 apps Like Google Nav and Goggles

Good Flash Support (10.1 Im guessing)

No need for SetCPU(Although I wonder if a SetCPU version with 2.1 support can bring even greater performance))

Awesome Gallery App with Access to your Picassa web albums

Wireless Tether built in

Because of Google Nav, I dont miss any of the Sprint Apps. Im all about performance so I dont care about live wallpapers or custom homes. Im not even excited about the official Sprint release. This thing has made my phone be all Ive ever wanted to be. So go ahead and flash.

Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou to damageless, flipz and everybody else contributing in this Rom. Wow.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] joetemp75:
nice it reminds me of my linux box. good job
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Moguledyouth:
Maps / Nav Question

I'm not sure if I'm missing something, but I cannot get Google Maps to speak the Nav instructions, I was pretty sure it worked at least on Damage's first rom, is there another file I need to download etc?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] johndoehizzle:
Hmmm..still having mms problems after flashing the mms fix...thats all i need and that voicemail notigication thing is pretty damm annoying lol..i keep flashing back to cupcake..any1 care to help?..thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] danknuggz:
The spareparts included in this rom is different than the updated version in the market.how do I delete the one included in this rom
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chocmatic:
go to settings--> applications --> manage applications and uninstall from there
[Hero CDMA Android Development] watzone69:
Yep, I know. I never doubted you for a second. I am looking forward to the update. I was posting the link for people to mess around with in the meantime.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] danknuggz:
When I do that it uninstalls the one I just downloaded and keeps the old one in there then it doesnt show up in the list to uninstall
[Hero CDMA Android Development] watzone69:
I heard the market version has ads.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wtphoto:
damageless I just have to say thank you again my mom got rushed into surgery today and this phone with the flash player and everything has made this waiting room a little less depressing and helped keep my mind off of stuff. thanks again and I cant wait for the update apps2sd is the last thing that I really want in this rom.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chocmatic:
uninstall the market one first then go back the manage application section and see if you can remove it
[Hero CDMA Android Development] scott2020:
Just took the plunge and wiped my Hero, used 1.6.2 RA to do the wipe and flashed the new ROM. All that appeared to go well and I chose reboot. I see the cool firework-like startup with the yellow, blue, green, red swirling thing. That stopped and it is now standing still and has for about 15 minutes. Should I panic yet?

EDIT: Pulled battery and restarted. Looks like things are coming around
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gbhil:
Go through the settings and select text-to-speech. When you open it should automagically download/install the tts engine (as long as you're logged into Google accounts)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] djR3Z:
Ironic. My mom was sent into surgery today as well. I'll pray for her man.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hoopsdavis:
Does anyone have a copy of Quick Office?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] joetemp75:
Hey good luck w/ your mom
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gbhil:
Make sure you're using the stock messaging app and try again.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chococrazy:
This happened to me on Waffle ARE YOU 100% you wiped RIGHT BEFORE you flashed? If so pull the battery out, and put it back in. Does this have flash?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Darkshneider:
Best wishes to both of your moms.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gbhil:
adb remount
adb shell
cd /system/app
rm -r SpareParts.apk
reboot

then reinstall from market.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
Good luck with your mom!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] danknuggz:
Ty gbhil much appreciated u guys are geniuses

(Worships Damageless)

Thanks for giving us a 2.1 ROM that works well enough to use for real! Now I just have to figure out how to make NBAndroid work with the level 5+ API so I can start playing with Bluetooth :)

I've found one bug to report, though I'm not sure exactly where it came from.

Two days ago, I wiped and flashed Espresso. Multitouch seemed to work.

Last night, I reflashed to 99.9999 non-Espresso without wiping, then installed the update.zip to fix MMS and deleted HtcLockScreen*.*. This afternoon, I noticed that multitouch seems to be gone (I'm pretty sure it worked the day before with both the homescreen and browser).

At this point, I'm really not sure whether it's an Espresso-vs-non-Espresso thing, a pre-99.9999 vs 99.9999 thing, a side effect of deleting HTC's lockscreen, and/or an artifact of the MMS fix. Regardless, I miss it in the browser pretty badly... in fact, that's how I discovered its absence... I tried going to xda-developers at lunch, and couldn't zoom when it ended up being unreadably microscopic ;-)

Anyway, thanks again for the awesome work!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Agimax:
Just came accross this in Flipz thread,

I haven't checked into this, but since Damage still has GSD, couldn't we remove this for better battery life and leave this out of future versions?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ItsDon:
Perhaps but, that said, my battery life is pretty frickin' awesome with this rom already.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Bielinsk:
I have to agree. Granted I have the 2000ma battery (but only on second charge) and I am getting really good battery life.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Agimax:
Agreed, but every little mV saved helps me stay on GangWars longer:D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Gh0zt718:
does anyone know why superuse doesnt work for me like it pops up but the screen stays black then it'll keep saying wait/force close sorry if it was answered previously but i couldnt find it but please someone help cause i cant even set up my stuff properly if it doesnt work PLEASE HELP ASAP
[Hero CDMA Android Development] scott2020:
Yep, did a full wipe. Taking out the battery and letting it restart worked. It is really working great! thanks to all who are doing the work on this baby!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] willy900wonka:
You need to be in debug mode.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
You need to enable debugging or something somebody said.

Sorry, I would look to see exactly what option it is, but I'm working on the ROM.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
Thanks! I will try this out and see what happens...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sporkman:
only thing stopping me from using any 2.1 rom full time is the face-book sync issue that's where i get my contact photo's etc etc i really hope in the official release its fixed

i have tried facebook photo sync but with no luck
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aauussttiinn88:
will the update have a fixed android lockscreen? (baring you remove the htc lockscreen apk)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] djR3Z:
facebook sync works perfectly fine for me :/
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tmidle8575:
Me too.

10chars
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gbhil:
Same. IMO this is working as designed.

I do believe what you see is what you're going to get. Fire up a web browser and use groups in your google contacts to sort all those FB idiots you just had to add lol.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] someonenewhere:
the sync issue its working perfectly fine...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] durandetto:
Use Google voice for voicemail. As far as mms Im not sure I don't use It much.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Gh0zt718:
aight so sorry if this is n00bish but im still a semin00b i didnt grad yet but how do i get it in debug mode cause the only way i know of is to go to menu>settings>development>and check usb debugging again sorry if this is a stupid question but i cant figure it out
[Hero CDMA Android Development] katmandu421:
Is flash 10.1 dependent upon the new kernel? I'm still running the old one and can't get hulu to play. Just curious.

Cheers on the build!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sporkman:
that funny mine wont sync at all. hell i cant even search FB when im looking for a photo for a contact i log in

under the contact im looking for and its blank so im puzzled and it imports EVERY FREAKING CONTACT from my facebook profile ( 500 + ) lol and my phone view is SCREWED
[Hero CDMA Android Development] someonenewhere:
which version of the rom are you using? remember there's 2...

non-expresso and expresso....I'm using the expresso and the sync issue it's not there..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ItsDon:
The version shouldn't matter, they are identical save for some cosmetics, nothing else.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
That's strange. Did you wipe? This isn't an issue on any of my ROMs that I have ever been aware of.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Gh0zt718:
lol psh man u dont have to apologize for anything after all you did for this rom you and flipz are the reason the hero is where it is bro that and MANLY love... LOL
[Hero CDMA Android Development] joetemp75:
any eta on the rom
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bwshockley:
I used ADB to pull GSD out of my DamageControl Non-expresso 0.9999 version and saw no difference either way. Not sure what it is...but figured the less stuff in there the better.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aauussttiinn88:
does anyone roll with home instead of sense on this rom? how does it work for you?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
It kind of depends. I am working on some new stuff to put in it right now and if it works well then pretty quick.

I could probably release it very quickly if I didn't have to write all the crap I'm going to have to/want to write when I do update it for the n00bs who won't read.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] someonenewhere:
wrong..the non-expresso version is the one with the issue ..how do i know?

because I had it..switched to the expresso version and the syncing problem went away..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] timezone12:
have a quick question if i may in what way would i backup google voice and its settings so that on the next update i won't have to redo all of the voice mail settings once again which is better Titanium or MyBackup to do the job thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] someonenewhere:
don't forget the stock IM and NFL app ha ha .
[Hero CDMA Android Development] joetemp75:
Awesome let me know if there is anything I can do to help. If i can do it I will.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bwshockley:
I also used ADB to remove Tweet and it's associated widget. I don't like having anything on their I don't use want. I also fulled the HTC Facebook.apk out. I was tired of having both the official Facebook app and the one hidden in Sense UI loaded. When i'd go to share a photo, it'd list both Facebooks and that bugged me. however...it doesn't get rid of the facebook stuff that is stuck in contacts and such. I wish I could clean those up too. and get rid of Flickr as well. Anyone want to work on removing FB and Flickr from the Sense UI contacts and services apks?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sporkman:
i wipe be fore each and every rom install i have a nano backup of my main rom so it pretty easy to change back

i have tried both sync screwed for me on both gumbo 2.1 did it only one that did not was flipz but that's because it was taking out
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrinehart93:
I'd like to know this as well. I've also ran into a peculiar bug that I haven't seen posted yet. Today I was talking with my mom so she could pick me up, and all of a sudden whatever I said she couldn't hear. The only solution was to hang up and call again. Anyone else had this yet?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] watzone69:
...and they still won't read it even if it's in the first post in the biggest font you can post.

People, PLEASE stop asking when it's coming and what's going to be in it. That just delays it even more.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gbhil:
Open a contact thats associated with FB.

Look at the notes section

Delete that gibberish that associates it with FB.

delete /system/app/Filckr.*

and /system/app/HtcFacebook.*

Done.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Gh0zt718:
does anyone have anything to say on how to put the phone into debug mode not being able to set up setcpu and root explorer sucks balls... lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
That mute button is pretty easy to hit with your face, are you sure that wasn't it?

Can anybody else try this?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] katmandu421:
Yeah, I'd rather have performance over eye candy. Working great except for a a false sms error from handcent. Been searching to see if it's known but there is a lot to catch up from since yesterday afternoon! Oh, and I do have to sign in to google every reboot.

Not seeing flash 10.1 (hulu doesn't run) but I am on the older kernel, so I'm wondering if that may be causing it. Also did the multitouck tweak and have pinch zoom in maps and gallery in addition to browser. Thats pretty sweet.

Does flash 10.1 depend on the new kernel?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] willy900wonka:
I called it mode because it seems to trigger much more than just the USB data access. Sorry for the confusion.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Gh0zt718:
o so i just gotta select that than cause i selected it and the superuser still stays black like maybe i set something up wrong any ideas?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] beezy420:
More Dialers

Hey figured i'd share sum different colored dialers.As always do a backup before you flash.I tested both.

Red/Black

Blue/Black

http://www.mediafire.com/file/izjbzzokjij/blueblack dialer.zip
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrinehart93:
I'm positive it wasn't the mute button since I looked at the screen and saw that the mute button wasn't pressed. BTW, I have to commend you on this ROM. It's nice :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] someonenewhere:
screen shot?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] KERKEDAGAIN:
yeh..that's happened to me a few times since I first got the phone. Think it's carrier related cuz it's happend back in 1.5 as well..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aauussttiinn88:
i had the same exact thing happen to me im on sprint but i was using darchs 2.1 alls i did was reboot and it was ok from then never ran into it again
[Hero CDMA Android Development] beezy420:
Same as the one i put togther for you yesterday just either red or blue when you push button.

i think on page 106 post 1060 is a screen shot.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] someonenewhere:
oh yeah? I think I'm going to get the red one! thanks dude..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] djR3Z:
how do we take screenshots?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] someonenewhere:
you need ShootMe from the App Market and you have to be rooted..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
Can someone (or a few people) please try out wired-tether and let me know if it works?

I would but I'm still working on some other things right now.

Thanks in advance.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] PRGUY85:
Interested in knowing the free RAM you guys are getting with this ROM. I know it depends on each one of us and the apps we got installed. Yet, I am using same apps I run on each and every rom and currently getting 25MB of free RAM. Would like to know if others are getting less free RAM with this ROM and if this affects battery life at all for you...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
This will be improved in the next release. - Although I have heard of users saying they are getting an incredible amount of space.

Haven't heard anybody complain about not having enough space yet until now.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PRGUY85:
Could be me then. Perhaps its a rogue app I'm using. Only ones I could think of are Phonefusion's Visual Voicemail and Epocrates (a med app). Maybe Foursquare/Gowalla. Who knows...that's why I am asking since I've seen others reporting 100+ while I get 60 on startup. Yet, one AOSP 2.1 I had 80-90 with same apps.

Again, just reporting in order to get the info to you and thanks for a job well done.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bcnice20:
I've tried getting wired tether to work on all roms including this one and it didn't unfortunately thts my main thing I still have a backup of flips 1.93 2.01 release just for his built in working mns
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Gh0zt718:
thanks for the help eveyone had to select usb debugging then reboot phone just a little FYI if anyone has the problem
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dmc971989:
doesnt work... ive tried it on almost every hero rom ever :(

i think it has something to do with the coding of the app itself
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
Thanks for the replies.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bitbang3r:
Update: I just reflashed the phone to Expresso 0.9999 (from 3/10). Assuming it didn't change from the Expresso I installed on 3/9, it appears that Expresso doesn't do multitouch zoom in the browser, either. What confused me is that Expresso DOES have a multitouch pinch gesture that non-Expresso lacks (or is broken in the non-Expresso version). If it's the former, that makes two real-world differences between "Expresso" and non-Expresso ("decaf?"):

Expresso has a square rosie

Expresso has a multitouch "pinch" gesture that gives a screen overview. Non-Expresso doesn't.

Update: I just deleted HtcLockscreen* and rebooted. The pinch gesture still works, so that can probably be eliminated as an alternate explanation for non-Expresso's lack of it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bcnice20:
I'm pretty sure you have to patch the kernel with some kind of file found in that link you put up I could be wrong though
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bcnice20:
awesome have no idea how to do it though just noticed it mentioned in the faq
[Hero CDMA Android Development] meth84:
wired tethering says error code 67 registration failure.

your pcs vision username and/or password may be incorrect please try again says same thing on all roms
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gbhil:
Search EasyTetherLite on the market (free) No need to patch kernel and use wired tether anymore. this works (Windows) out of the box.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
Some people have mentioned they need wired tether though.

I am not going to patch the kernel for this though. At least right now.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] joetemp75:
Im shaking with anticipation. Is it ready
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
Very soon.

Waiting to hear from gbhil about his gumbo script and then I will start uploading everything.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kkruse:
I think it needs some drivers on the kernel side and until we have the 2.6.29 source to this kernel, it may be the hangup. I expect its similar to vpn stuff not working because the drivers arent compiled into the kernel. That is kinda an important feature to me when Im traveling for tethering.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rulermon:
i searched and i hope in not going to ask this and its already been said is there a way for me to get live wallpaper on this rom....i know it wont work with sence i am not using sence UI i am using vanilla i just remaped the home key to vannilla is there a file i can push to use live wall paper? thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Wasney:
Just in case you never got the PM. After you upload it, if you don't care, I will FTP it on my blog for a few days, try and speed the downloads from everyone.

Unless you have something else besides the free places, like rapidshare and such.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sporkman:
or people can download it from the torrent

https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B8...Yzk0OTFjMzkzNzBi&sort=name&layout=list&num=50
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gbhil:
EasyTether Lite IS wired USB tether

correct. And who knows when HTC will feel like releasing them.

damagless - I responded. See if that's the case, if not, holler.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Wasney:
That works to, would be much faster as well. I will just watch the first thread for a torrent when the update comes.

I just don't wanna wipe again...lol...I am using fresh's rom right now.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] joetemp75:
I really have not been this excited about a software release in a long time. I think bioshock 2 was a little worse but it is comparable.

Hey damage, I just donated for your wedding, thanks for all your hard work man!!! I just read u fixed the problem with the apps that use the internet. That's great!! That's the ONLY thing really wrong on my phone . What was the problem? Can u elaborate? And thx soooo much again!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] slackwaresupport:
is there no live wallpaper?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
I honestly don't know because I haven't tried. My guess is no. For sure no in Rosie.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bbv203:
I think my F5 button is wearing out due to this thread
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
Thanks!

The problem is with a hosts file, or at least that's what was reported. If I remember right, you will need to download adblock and update the hosts file.

I cannot troubleshoot this very well because I have never had the problem (trust me, I've tried).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] house1999:

I'm sitting at about 25-30 when before I was at 60-70. Hasn't really slowed me down, just a little OCD about memory numbers. However, I am getting almost 130mb of free internal storage compared to 80mb on Fresh 2.0b.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] djsplitimage:
Don't know if it's related, but along with the Bank of America app, I have the NBA League Pass app and I can't watch games on it. The message it gives me is because for some reason the app thinks I'm outside the country. Any thoughts? I have no idea what would fix that? Perhaps that why applications for things with U.S. webpages can't be viewed?
