Hi, gotta say that this rom is really impressive, loving it except for a few glitches.

Just getting the email/log in one which isnt a big deal, hopefully it'll be fixed soon.

Couple other people mentioned issues with apps not having internet access, I'm having that issue with Wapedia.

I think only one other person mentioned this issue and that is whenever I send a text message, Handcent tells me that it didn't get sent out half a second after I hit send yet the other person actually receives it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] someonenewhere:
i just got invited to GV and it's working perfectly fine for me on this ROM..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] KiwiPike:
Anyone want to invite me to GV?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
1. Working on the login one.

2. This has been reported as being a problem with a new hosts file that is meant to block ads. If you download adblock and update the hosts file, I seem to remember someone saying that fixed it (gbhil?)

3. I don't think handcent works very well with 2.1, I think it has to do with the application. I could be wrong.

Thanks for your support!

Google Voice does work, you have to install a different apk (see attached). Do not update to version 0.3 otherwise google voice will not work
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bigel:
Thank You.....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ndroid916:
hi all, special thanks to damageless for this rom :)

i just have a quick question, the SU app is not letting me use wifi tether or estrong file explorer . . well is just a black screen :( any ideas why is that happend?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Tikerz:
I think there's confusion with all this Google Voice talk.

There two functions that most people use with Google voice. One works, *one doesn't*

1. Visual Voicemail - This works for everyone no matter which version.

2. Calling out using Google Voice number - This is where people are running into trouble. The later versions of the GV app are not working properly as it doesn't correctly call out using the caller's GV number.

It's been confirmed that GV 0.2.0 works for both #1 and #2. 0.2.8 and 0.3.0 don't work for #2
[Hero CDMA Android Development] CharlyDigital:
sure whats your email
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
Did you wipe?

Anybody else get this problem?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] KiwiPike:
PM sent thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] beezy420:
I'm going to check it out..I'll make a zip to flash it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] durandetto:
What all has been removed from this ROM to get so much available memory? I haven't had this much memory since my phone was brand new and I have 10 or so apps. installed. I'm sittin at 131mb. Also, what is the Navigator app in the app drawer? Is it part of Google maps?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] durandetto:
ES works fine for me as does the Google login. Only been using it for a couple mins. though. Thank You for all of your hard work!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Tikerz:
Make sure USB debugging is checked. Go to Settings > Applications > Development.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Rizzo19:
If anyone else has an xtra GV invite send me one pleaaase, im almost at a week of trying to get one :P
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Tikerz:
PM me your email.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zippy-man:
Well the Rom has been Pretty good so far. Great Work

There are a few things that i noticed and figured I would share.

1. Light Sensor Does not work so no auto backlighting

2. Lockscreen and Notification bar do not say Sprint

3. The reception indicator is 4 bars instead of 6 like it is supposed to be.

I know that com.htc.resources.apk has the .png's for the 6 Signal bars and the .png's for the EV vs 3g but they are not being activated for some reason. Possibly the framework files are telling com.htc.resources.apk to use the 3g and 4 signal bar .png's vs the 6 Signal and Ev .png's

I also noticed that the Espresso version has Ev and the normal version has 3g in the taksbar

I have to ask did you use the Espresso port files I made?

Just wondered since I changed the 3g to EV and ported Espresso to the new 2.1 Eris build and cuz the Espresso imaged have been fixed like the ones i used.

Good work man can wait to get App2sd working as well.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Rizzo19:

Thanks Tikerz :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] heartcoke:
Hey, I'm 100% new to android modding, I spent a while modding Windows Mobile on the X1a, can someone point me to the right direction on how to install this ROM? I already followed the guide in the wiki to root my Sprint Hero.

Thank you very much. :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] CharlyDigital:
Rizzo PM me with your email and I will send one asap
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ndroid916:
yes i did , weird wipe/flash n still the black screen of SU app still on
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
You need to have USB Debugging on.

Completely forgot about that.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] videohammer:
dude do some research first, this thread is blazing hot with the devs working out the kinks to make you a baddass rom try here

the unlockr has videos and stuff

**edit - i wouldve put the link in but my status is junior - maybe a senior can
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
You find out if that got the dump?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] CentroniX:
So follow the guide in the wiki on how to install roms!

(hint: It's under the root cheat sheet)

[Hero CDMA Android Development] kraminc:
Not sure if it has been mentioned. Gallery force closes when selecting camera.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] phonefixdfw:
on first post, the mms fix that says apply like a normal update.zip, thats an update from sd root in nandroid?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] djR3Z:
Thanks for clarifying that for everyone that didn't understand. And thanks for the other member that posted about using 0.2.0
[Hero CDMA Android Development] durandetto:
The same way you installed the ROM.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sporkman:
yes apply it the same way
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tatonka_hero:
Damage, when you get a chance (if you ever get a chance :P), I'm thinking perhaps a general FAQ in the first post for the people who haven't taken the time to read all 100+ pages of this thread.

Something along the lines of how to implement the few little fixes, the fact that handcent doesn't work to send pics (i think?), the version changes, and anything else people can think of.

It's probably not necessary, but it might help, and would (hopefully) help with the same questions coming over and over.

Certainly doesn't need to be a top priority, but something to think about when you take a break from the ROM itself (if you ever do lol)

Either way, this ROM is sweet man, thanks for everything you (and everyone else involved) have done to get this running so good!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] VinceOB:
Ok, so I did this challenge. First problem with this was, you need to wipe before flashing this ROM. I learned the hard way...LOL I got FC after FC after FC. LOL I went back into recovery and wiped and reflashed. Only problem with wiping obviously it gets rid of everything including the Google sign in. LOL Im trying it anyways. I'll get back to this later on...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 4redstars:
I think this is the coolest thread I've followed. keep up the great work...community at its finest.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
Psshhhh... 100 pages. Light reading.

Just kidding. I will be sure to do this.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] danknuggz:
complete noob here typing from my phone at work, damage ur my idol,.....one question is there an easy nooby way to do a pri or prl update (whichever it is) to get more bars on my phone. After flashing this rom my bars went from full to 1-2 bars.....thanks in advance
[Hero CDMA Android Development] durandetto:
There's less bars in the status bar on this ROM, but your signal should still be the same. I thought the same thing, so I checked my actual signal strength and it was the same as before.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dmc971989:
wired tether or Mobile network sharing PLZ... thats the only think keeping me from making this rom my daily...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Toyzruskid1976:
I've practically given up on that :( I've been trying for a few months with no luck... /sigh
[Hero CDMA Android Development] doeboy711:
can we get a gbhil memory tweak like most other roms already have out there for this rom. If there is one available for this rom point me in the right direction. I have usually 35-55m free when only a few apps are running and downloaded. Thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] beezy420:
Easy tether lite from the market works great for me.Ive been online all day with it and uploaded three files.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wtphoto:
hey damage just a question, did you add the lowmemorykiller settings in this last release or was the command always in gumbo.sh? the onkly reason I ask is because if it has always been in there then it wasnt running properly and I just want to make sure im not crazy lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dmc971989:
it works but is waaaay slower than MNS or Wired Tether from my experience...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dkotoric:
So what is the difference between espresso and the normal rom
[Hero CDMA Android Development] CharlyDigital:
PM me with your email and I will hook you up
[Hero CDMA Android Development] linkinx64:
LOL dude :) it's just the bottom round edges
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wtphoto:
see above post, the commands are in the script but I dont know if they where added before or after the update but you could always try to run it again manually. find it here
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dkotoric:
ok so I have installed the normal one but I prefer the square edgets, can I flash just the espresso over the normal one without wiping
[Hero CDMA Android Development] heartcoke:
Thanks for the link to unlockr :D Thanks everyone, sorry for jumping into the line of fire haha. Hopefully one day i'll be up there helping you devs.

Also whats the difference between the espresso and the regular? Just kidding! lol, good luck with hammering out all the bugs guys, Thanks again.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jmxp69:
Playing a movie or music and adjusting the volume using the rocker brings the pop-up "Bluetooth in-call volume" and moves the bar up and down, but it doesn't adjust the volume of the movie.

I searched the thread and didn't see mention of this. Anybody confirm?

BTW damageless: Thank you. Excellent work. I can't believe how smoothly everything is working. Sprint or HTC should hire you!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] digitalscars:
where is my apps2sd :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] durandetto:
Google sign in error:(

Just got one, but it happened about 15 min. after a reboot.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] atoz350:
Okay, just tried to test VVM and saw that it doesn't work. It installs, and has a benefit of getting rid of that annoying voicemail popup that used to come up every once in a while. There is a little more to it for it to be fully functional. I'll work on it some more.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] VinceOB:
Didnt work...Oh well...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] atoz350:
I apologize that I didn't respond quicker as I was in church.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
I am putting that into this next release. Actually already have it on the newer ROM I'm running :P
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
Yes. I actually just implemented this in my development ROM. Then I saw this post :P

I am cleaning up a bit in this next release. Also am VERY close to a2sd.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] beyondinferno:
Only use new roms if you have enough to share with the rest of the class! lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wtphoto:
actually what I am saying is that if you open gumbo.sh in textpad the command is there already but it doesnt seem to be implementing on boot so im not sure what the problem is since when I do the

echo "1536,3072,4096,21000,23000,25000" > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree

manually in cmd it seems to take but it wont survive a reboot

at least its that way in the updated esspreso rom
[Hero CDMA Android Development] VinceOB:
Cleaning up the .odex files and turning them into classes.dex files riiiight?? LOL :p
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DanWalker:
OMG you've done it again, looks amazing!! As soon as this ROM is ready to do so I don't have to try to figure everything out this is the theme I'm going with!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] doeboy711:
So in the expresso rom that I DL earlier it already has it built in already or the one you are working on now right now has it in it? Sorry a lil confused, but either way I was just curious. Thanks for all of your hard work!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Deadsoulsniper:
crashed rom

so I installed the rom and everything installed correctly but then everything crashed and I had to force out of everything until I was slapped back to an HTC screen. any suggestions?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
Wipe everything.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jyabeny:
Multitouch for Google Maps

For multitouch in Google Maps, use this file. Change file from .txt back to .xml before you push to device.

adb push android.hardware.touchscreen.multitouch.xml system/etc/permissions

reboot
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
It is not in the ROM right now, but will be soon. I will release a new version between sometime tonight and mid-day tomorrow.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ItsDon:
I agree. I'll do a 'real' wipe/install after then next release but it appears that anyone running yesterdays rom will need to wipe completely prior to installing any updated rom if you want Market to be rid of Verizon. It would be nice if there was an easier way.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] doeboy711:
Awesome, I love being in Hawaii time zone because all the new roms come out by the time I wake up!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ItsDon:
Would that be the long awaited 1.0? or 99.99999? :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Deadsoulsniper:
ok I am pretty new to all this, should I have to do anything besides format the sd card and wipe the ext partition to perform a full wipe? also I have no service but this may be due to my screw up with the former question?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
This will have 5 9's probably.

I can't bring myself to release 1.0 until I get this completely 100% functional.

That doesn't mean that the releases will stop there, though.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jmxp69:
Reboot seems to have fixed it. Prior to reboot, I was paired with my car, got out, flipped the BT toggle off. I'll see if I can get it to repeat.

Also, SprintTV videos (multiple channels) only show on the top 1/3 of the screen. I know the devs aren't worried about that, just wondering if anybody else sees it or fixed it.

Thx
[Hero CDMA Android Development] beyondinferno:
will this work with Gnav ver?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rejectedkid:
I know everyone is working super hard on these roms and what not but is it really all that necessary? I like having a working 2.1 but isn't sprint and htc releasing our version in a matter of two weeks? Is all this hard work really worth the hassle?

I mean once sprint releases the proper build for our phone doesn't this whole entire process begin again?

No complaining by any means about any thing just trying to understand the drive in you guys :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] atoz350:
This work great!! Thank you!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] atoz350:
Think of it like this. When we learn what makes everything in a ROM work, we'll know how to make better ROMs.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] videohammer:
pahahahaha
[Hero CDMA Android Development] n388mm:
awesome work on this rom damage and everybody who contributed. running now and its sweet

im running the latest espresso build.. will i have to wipe in between every update from now till 1.0? or can i just reflash?

EDIT wow nevermind i just cant read haha.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
As far as I have heard, that is a rumor.

Trust me, at least when I had the G1, we would hear that it would come out one time, but the actual time it came out was MONTHS later. Literally.

We waited for cupcake for MONTHS and had working versions loooooooooooooooong before an official update was released. And I have seen the same pattern with Sprint.

Plus now, you don't have to wait :P
[Hero CDMA Android Development] atoz350:
As someone else said, Sprint will Probably release 2.1 once our developers work all of the bugs out for them.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chomafin:
Awesome! This worked for me on Fresh2.0bv2.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
Great post! I will put this in the next update.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] goku14238:
what theme is this, and does it work with this rom?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] katmandu421:
You can also try minfreemanager from the market.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] n388mm:
is the automatic brightness not working correctly for anybody else? i made sure it was checked in the display settings..

it seems like it changes the brightness to when ever it comes out of sleep then sticks.. or sometimes not at all.. ill be in a dark room and it will be super bright.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] david279:
thats the theme from fresh 1.1
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chfields:
What are the differences between this rom and fresh 2.0b???
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kmartburrito:
Hey Damage,

Any idea why my location is showing incorrectly? I think it might be something with my gps.conf file maybe? I seem to remember pushing that conf file to my phone a while back when testing darch's or toast/flipz 2.1 roms. It works just fine in all 1.5 based roms, but not on yours or any of the other 2.1s

I'm attaching an example app I made from something I found online, which is a feature I was including in one of my apps. there's one that determines location based on network, and one for gps.

Using it, it will grab a GPS signal, lat/lon and then tell you what city you're in.

When I do it, for example, it tells me that I'm at lat 38.965166 lon -94.695694. These are from GPS, as when doing it from network, you only get a couple decimal points and the rest repeat. It tells me I'm in Overland park, when in actuality I'm 30 minutes away from there. It shows initially in Google maps that I'm in Overland Park, but then after a bit switches to my true location, so I know it works somehow, just not sure why it's bogus to begin with.

You can use this website to compare what the app is showing vs where it plots on a map --http://boulter.com/gps/

So, this makes me think that it has something to do with the 2.1 roms, as it works fine on all 1.5 roms. If it was something consistent with just my gps.conf file it should be screwed up in all roms, right?

If you can help me figure this out, I will be extremely grateful, and I bet this is an issue with more folks than just me. Thanks!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] swapped:
Anyone firgure out a fix for WifiTether?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gbhil:
Ok I've read through a million logcats, and my eyes are blurry.

What I can say with 100% certainty on MY phone -

If I boot my phone while a new message is waiting, I will have to log in to google.

If I ignore that:

I still can get email

I still can get SMS/MMS (naturally)

I still can use google voice

I can not use gtalk

I can not use the market without it asking me to log in. When i do, I can use Gtalk.

If I boot my phone while an old unread message is waiting, everything is normal. Normal in this case meaning I don't have to log in, but no way i can verify i never will have to.

Each time I have to log in to Google services, my logcat shows sim card errors. Some times it's the IMSI ID change, sometimes it's permissions errors, sometimes it's file not found errors. Absolutely nothing consistent. *speculation warning* Since we know that gtalk and market are connected, is it also possible that the market password (being associated with financial information) is stored/sent differently? You can use a different account for the market if you want to (and have to if you'r a Gdocs user) so it's possible.

The market and MNS have been tricked to work with sprint. But inside the framework it's still pointed at Verizon. My understanding is that an /etc/apns.xml will overwrite that if present, but it doesn't appear to. Delete your telephony.db and it rebuilds using the settings from the framework and the settings in apns.xml instead of just apns.xml.

OK. I'm pretty sure there's some low level network juju going on behind the scenes @boot after seeing the above.

Since supposedly we are so close to an official Sprint release, I'd suggest we just consider this one on the back burner and work/worry about other things first. I'ts a bit inconvenient, but far from a show stopper. I really think to fix it is going to require building the framework or at least part of it, or replacing it entirely with a sprint version.

My final question - Does Flipz 2.1 build (not the version with video, but the one with just camera) have this error?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dhowell1:
Does anybody know If this will work on fresh 2.0b2?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] beyondinferno:
If I remember correctly, it does.

(in response to gbhil)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] beyondinferno:
yes. running it now.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] someonenewhere:
damageless try to add the IM stock app and remove HTC Peep from the rom please!

lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] n388mm:
while i was using that build i did run into that error.. are you talking about unread sms or gmail?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hanifaz:
Voice Mail is calling Virgin!!!!

The visual voice mail is not working! and it calls *86 Virgin mobile !!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
This is getting a little ridiculous now...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bbv203:
Having memory killer impleminted would be nice, I tried minfreemanager, it works but not as well as having it built in does (from my experience with 1.5 anyway)

Any progress on VVM? I don't normally get alot of voicemails, but its getting annoying recieving 2 text messages about voicemail when I do receive one.

Also I can't stand the stock messaging app, no way to make handcent work? Should we start emailing them about it if it really is a true 2.1 bug in their product? Or is it just something with these 2.1 roms?

Thanks for damageless and everyone else's work on this!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
Please search the thread. This has been fixed.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] videohammer:
wow

10cars
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mike2o6:
If your on sprint just change the Voicemail number in settings to you own.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
Not looking like VVM will work for now. I think we are going to put this on the backburner like gbhil suggested (he has been looking into this specifically and extensively). My suggestion is to use Google Voice (I use it, and it works great!).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] someonenewhere:
Another minor issue I've noticed with this rom, it's i barely get reception.

always at 2-3 bars on my phone..

would I need to reflash the image radio posted by flipz?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
You are getting the same service as any other ROM. Just displays wrong.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chfields:
Ask a legit question and this is your response....?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] icm714:
hey so can we flash the new radio would that fix anything like battery life cause mines sucking dirty a** hole but besides that its a great rom
[Hero CDMA Android Development] someonenewhere:
Alright, I already had flashed the radio while I was running a 1.5 ROM ..

just wanted to know if I should reflash it again, but I think I'm going to back out on that thought myself lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
Sorry. It has just been asked so many times :P
