I just flashed this no-wipe, and with all of my sd card partitions intact and populated.

At first glance, everything seems ok. Other than the missing clock widget, I haven't noticed any problems that I haven't had on other roms.

EDIT: It's probably still the best idea to go ahead and wipe. I just wanted to give it a try and see if it would work.

EDIT 2: OK, I reflashed the ROM, again with no wipe, and this time the htc clock widget was installed, although I still had to add it back to my screen. Probably lost that setting during the first boot when the widget was missing. Everything looks really good so far!

If anyone wants to try this without wiping, it seems like there's a good likelihood that you'll be ok. Just be prepared to do a wipe if you run into any problems. That'll most likely be the first thing you get asked to do if you need troubleshooting assistance, so keep those backups current.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jakejm79:
So from what I can tell, there is probably pretty little point in me upgrading from what i have now.

I am running DCTrev based on 2.0r2, but it includes App2sd and aggressive memkill settings already. I have done all the facebook, su, wifi and protective apps fixes and also pushed and pulled all the apks i want/dont want. My phone works great has a daily, the only bugs i have is the very occasional lagginess and the black contact background. It sounds like I wont really benefit from upgrading other than maybe getting the new keyboard (that i could always push separately). Can anyone comment on if my thinking is wrong, seems like a big PIA to wipe, partition, flash, etc to not really gain anything. Dont get me wrong I am not bashing r3, just for those of us that already had memkill and app2sd and had kept up with the fixes it seems that r3 is just all those things already rolled into r2.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Mdawg112:
Best rom out ! Love it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Gh0zt718:
how r u guys working this rom what am i doing wrong it just doesnt boot for me and i completley wiped the entire sd card and partitioned it someone have any idea i relle dont wanna go back to a eris build................
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ukn0wnscaa:
Rom is still great! Didn't even have to wipe to go from the r2 to the r3. only thing. Error 67 isn't coming up either anymore but now....how do I tether with my hero. With my blackberry it was simple. Wifi tether hates me and wont work so what do i have to do? Yes my PRI is still 1.70_003
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ASULutzy:
Back when I was running Fresh's Eris based ROM, my time without signal was reported as 0%. Now, my time without signal is reported as 50%. This is after going in and setting my network to CDMA auto prl. Was the Eris based rom just reporting it incorrectly? And even if that was incorrect, why do I have 50% time without signal?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hoopsdavis:
FriendStream

Has anyone been able to get FriendStream to work?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kcarpenter:
I can't get this or RegawMod to boot. Not sure what I have done wrong, but when I fix it I will let you know.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] subliminalurge:
Well, if this release doesn't fix any issues that you're having, there's certainly a case to be made for sticking with what works.

On the other hand, any efforts to fix remaining issues will likely be focuesed on this release and won't *necessarily* fully work on older revisions. So it may be worth upgrading for that reason.

In the end it's your call.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Gh0zt718:
i got regawMod 2 boot easily this is the 1st time ive ever had this prob......
[Hero CDMA Android Development] getut:
Is anyone else seeing voice search is gone with this one?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Tikerz:
Why do people keep asking about Friendstream? The only ROM that has Friendstream is DarchLegend. I have spoken.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] subliminalurge:
It's still there for me, but I didn't wipe. Can you access it through the navigator app?

He did say he'd done some cleaning up and optimizing with this release. That could very well be one of the things that got trimmed. Shouldn't be terribly difficult to add it back in.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ASULutzy:
I still have voice search, just had to hold down the search button for a few seconds then it came up. (I'm still on 2.0r2)

What are other people's time without signal? Mine seems to be 50% even after telling it to use CDMA auto prl.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Gh0zt718:
really sucks and sad to say i guess im just going back to flipz cause this wont even boot... guess ill wait till theres a fix for that.... sad face :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] phishstics:
got this rom to boot once this morning (was running AWESOME, very quick), before partitioning my card for apps2sd and reflashing. since then, it has not booted after waiting a half hour. went back and set the partition and swap to 0, rebooted, and still hung on the QB screen for the last 10.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ASULutzy:
Yea, I just wish the fresh rom had apps2SD + accelerometer. It sucks that you have to choose between them, otherwise that was far and away the best rom.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Gh0zt718:
he posted a fix for that theres a patch that had the fix for both of those
[Hero CDMA Android Development] richse:
Because they know how to read and the first page says this Rom has friendstream, maybe you should work on your reading skills more and posting skills less. I have spoken.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cirehawk:
Okay, my phone booted up. Here is what I did.

1. Booted into recover.

2. Repartitioned sd card and set partition sizes to 0.

3. Turned on temporary usb storage and copied lates rom back to the sd card.

4. Re-flashed DC2r2.3

Now I have to restore the data I backed up last night to the SD card. Was pretty frustrating, but I'm not bailing. Gonna try this out, and I'll even try repartitioning when the apps2sd issue is resolved. Thanks again damages.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jason kiDD:
lol Only said that 2 times maybe one more time is key.. 3rd time is the charm.. :cool:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Gh0zt718:
im gunna try that thanks a lot broski
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
I am posting a non-a2sd version that should help reduce the amount of complaints about not booting because the SD card isn't formatted right...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] getut:
Yep.. I had voice search on R2. I had an icon for it on the main screen... then upgraded to R3 and icon changed to the default "program not found" icon.

I searched to see if it had just changed to a different version but isn't in the main programs list anymore either.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Gh0zt718:
well how am i supposed to have the sd card partitioned cause i have 96/512/remainder ext2 i thought that was pretty much how it was supposed to be set up unless i was wrong...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] doojer:
Awesome, I don't use a2sd at the moment but I am very interested in this ROM! Will flash the non-a2sd version. :cool:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jerry43812:
well... how do I even know if a2sd is on this phone? There's ntohign in it that says so.

Also, I use apk manager and it constantly FC's.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
Again, if you find that a program isn't there, then reflash. Voice search was NOT removed.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] subliminalurge:
Basically, you would know because the only way for it to be there is for you to have specifically put it on there. If you haven't gone through the process of setting it up, then you don't have it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] KBizzle:
Thanks Damageless. I havent been using Apps2SD lately anyway cause I have been flashing so much. Dont find it necessary til I find a rom to keep for a while.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kcarpenter:
Logcat is showing repeated Java.lang.NullPointerException s

Any ideas? I do have an EXT parition on my SD card, I am going to remove that and see what happens.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
If it's not booting, just wait for the non-a2sd version.

If you have previously had a2sd set up, then make sure that you wipe your ext partition.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Gh0zt718:
ok kool thanks bro youre the best
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hoopsdavis:
I'm glad you've spoken but it was just a question, if you don't want to answer or if you feel someone should search I can understand that, but no feedback is better than negative.

I know the first page says "•Friendstream - you may need to install it separately" with that I thought there was a work around of some sort. But hey, I appreciate your response.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Gh0zt718:
ok so yeah that works... it booted up for me but how is it gunna effect the speed aspect and anything else?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stephen240:
Hey damage, any chance of getting an espresso/flan/ecliar lockscreen, that works like in your 1.0 rom?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
http://www.4shared.com/file/254499978/e37ee876/DamageControlv20r3_noa2sd.html

There is a version without a2sd. It will resolve any problems if you don't want a2sd or if it can't boot for some reason.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] KBizzle:
Sweet. Gonna give it a try. Thanks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
I focus on getting the builds so that they are flawless. The customizations will have to be done by others.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] phishstics:
was able to get it to boot with the a2sd version by setting everything to 0. is there any way to enable it after flashing?

thanks again damageless, dont think I've ever formally thanked you for this...i've been following your roms for a bit now and couldn't be happier with the options you've put out there...thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] trevolutionary:
Search the thread for Friendstream.apk (or better com.htc.FriendStreamWidget.apk). It's posted and some people appear to have success with it. (unfortunately can't get it to work for me yet, but i am trying a few things so I can post something more helpful).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] corybucher:
Yup just tried and same thing happens to me.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ElAguila:
I didn't try this but it is similar to the issue I had when going to people and selecting view and then trying to uncheck google, facebook, phone, etc. The text doesn't show until you tap it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mercuryhayes:
Hopefully by the time i get home tonight it'll be nice and ready to go

ill be looking forward to it :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chfields:
Same here forgot to mention before :rolleyes:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] koricua74:
+1 Confirm that this happens to me as well.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] n388mm:
i can confirm that this will flash no wipe over DC 1.0 espresso.

got no force closes. and only weird quirks im seeing is it removed spare parts, alarmclock.apk, and the memkill settings by gbhil

however i am still getting the sign in error on start. but that has never bothered me.

edit

well it seems after the messeges app opens com.android.mms force closes.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] schizopunk:
Same thing here. I'm going out for the day to King of Prussia Mall to get my HTC Hero's screen professionally covered with the Invisible Shield & I'm hoping when I get back everything will be up and ready for me to flash to. Totally looking forward to that.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] paracyt3:
Great job damageless! Downloading now, looking forward to flashing later tonight :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] subliminalurge:
Actually, he said there's an update coming soon. If you're not planning to flash right away you might want to hold off on the download, since this one isn't ready for prime time and there's a decent chance an improved version will drop before you're actually ready to flash it.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] dcdave63:
So I guess I am screwed at the moment. Tried to flash this over three different nandroid backups, both without and with wiping. Waited over an hour for each one to get off the white htc quietly brilliant screens, and they never did. Damnit!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] feld:
you wipe THEN flash. you can't flash over any existing rom..... you might be able to over the last damagecontrol, but I wouldn't try.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fatboypup:
......................... SHIBBY!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kys89012345:
sometimes when that happens to me i pull the battery and it reboots successfully.

I tried just wiping data and that didn't work. Wiped ext partition and Dalvik-cahche and that worked. The first time I booted I had a lot of FC's. i rebooted into recovery and did a "fix apk uid mismatches" and that fixed the problem
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LuisPotato:
I left it charging over night and it only charged 3/4 of the way haha
[Hero CDMA Android Development] setix:
try wiping your ext on your sd if you did a2sd, not sure if that might help
[Hero CDMA Android Development] subliminalurge:
Yep. That's definitely one of the big issues with this rom. I don't know how widespread it is, but a few people have mentioned it. Aside from not being charged after 6 hours plugged in, when I woke up this morning my phone was so hot I could barely pick it up.

Definitely something going on there.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] frazmanw:
Had mine charged over night. then had it with me at work, it was dead by 11am. Plugging it in wouldn't let it turn on for close to 30 minutes, almost as if the drain was geater than the usb charger allowed for. (had simmilar problem with Damage 1.1)

But AWSOME WORK MAN
[Hero CDMA Android Development] doojer:
Awesome. Thank you!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chfields:
Is there any difference in this one other than no a2sd?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jerry43812:
ok not to be a smartass... but i never set up SU and it's there. That's not stock.

If I need to follow the steps in post 2, to get a2sd working, do I go into recovery and just flash the zip that is there? I am having a hell of a time understanding this... because all these threads say is "flash the zip" then do this do that, well I dont feel like screwing something up!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
No. Nothing is different at all besides the fact that it doesn't have a2sd.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
Just use the version that doesn't have a2sd. Once you feel comfortable, you can try the other one after you find out how to partition your SD card the way you're supposed to.

Always make a good nandroid backup.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Rezza2k4:
Are protected apps showing up in this build without the work around?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bwshockley:
Anyone hosting the latest r3 on another server? I cannot access 4share.com, it's apparently on the black list here.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chfields:
Thanks!! I don't use a2sd but had no trouble installing your latest ROM (w/a2sd). Although, I do need to go in and remove all the apps I had pulled from 2.0r2 again....LOL

BTW thanks again for your hard work and dedication!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
Protected apps cannot show in a build like this due to the fact that it is signed with test-keys.

I will hopefully be getting something soon that will remedy this, but for now it requires a work-around.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hoopsdavis:
Thanks I've tried that and I'm having the same issue, I continue to get forced Close. I'll continue trying different things to get it to work.

Thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] subliminalurge:
The fix in post 2 was for the previous version of this rom. He's included a2sd by default in the latest version, so *in theory* all you should have to do is partition your sd card and it'll just automatically work.

However, some people seem to be having trouble with it, so he's posted a version that leaves out a2sd until the issue gets resolved. (I have no idea why it's working perfectly for me. Possibly something that carried over, since I also didn't wipe anything when I flashed?)

At this point, I'd suggest that if you're not running low on space on your phone, it's probably best to hold off on setting up a2sd until the source of people's troubles can be tracked down.

I wasn't trying to be a smart ass. What I meant was that in order to have a2sd functioning you would have had to repartition your sd card specifically for that purpose. That part of the equation is something that can't just be "built in" to a rom. So, yeah, if you have it you should know because you would have had to say to yourself "Hey, that a2sd thing sounds cool. I want that." and then do a certain amount of work to enable it. It's a slightly different situation than a regular app that can just be included in the rom with no effort requried from the end user.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jjjjayd13:
How Long?

How long does it take to boot-up? From reboot to usability?:confused:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] KBizzle:
With the Apps2Sd version, some are reporting 20 min.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Rezza2k4:
Thank you for the quick reply damage. Was wondering for a friend.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
There aren't problems with a2sd, if anything it's set up better than any of my previous ROMs. However, it won't work if something isn't set up correctly somehow. You should probably wipe your ext partition and make sure everything works correctly.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] david279:
Everythings working good with my install and im using app2sd.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] subliminalurge:
Another thing you can do is connect to your pc with the USB cable and run "adb logcat" while you boot the phone. As long as the logcat screen is showing activity, the phone is still working on getting booted up. If the logcat screen freezes for several minutes, then it's time to pull the battery and start over.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rjj1976:
No. Some don't show even after the work around.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] KBizzle:
Thanks for the info. I do all my flashes at work, all by my phone. Lol. I wish I had a laptop, it would make things much easier.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ukn0wnscaa:
It says to kill the KB to apply changes to it. i can't figure out how. Can I get help?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] KBizzle:
Id say just switch to another keyboard and back or just soft reset your phone.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] michd43:
ROM running very smooth. Thank you Damageless for your hard work.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jackal424:
okay this is annoying....

three wipes.....and flashes....

I still dont see HTC Calendar. I see Android Calendar, but not HTC. I actually liked that.

It was there is DC2.0R2. How many wipes will it take?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] anthony67:
Ok...please dont kill me....V3 rom I get wifi unable to start....if I flash the newest update over it, will it fix the wifi??
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Rezza2k4:
does anyone have the spare parts apk? I really miss those options.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jerry43812:
I HAVE said that's cool and I want that, LOL and just unsure of what the heck to do to get it on my phone. I want to sit here and compile all the beginners stuff into one thread and have it locked so it doesnt become a pig sty, but since i even have a hard time finding what I am looking for, I guess it will never happen.

The optimal thing to do would be tot alk to someone on skype for a few minutes who has knowledge and can answer a couple stupid questions... I work throughout the day and can't really spend 3 hours searching for one thing and coming up with about 800k results.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] doojer:
Non-a2sd version fired up perfectly! So far, so good... and nice and fast! :cool:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jerry43812:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] darkspider2042:
i just installed DamageControl v2.0r3 and for some reason i cant get the wifi working .... is that normal on this rom ?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rjj1976:
No problems here using WPA.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] doojer:
Wifi works for me.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
That is not normal. Wifi is working fine.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
Okay, so who doesn't like the new keyboard? I heard one person who didn't like it. I personally loved it and that's why I decided to put it in. Being able to use the voice recognition thing so easily was very cool I thought.

Votes on taking it out? Keeping it in?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] subliminalurge:
It's working for me, but I had to enable wifi, disable mobile network, then reboot to get it working.

What access point do you have? My wifi problems are unrelated to this rom. There are known compatibility problems with the Hero and certain Linksys routers.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] doojer:
Absolutely love the new keyboard. Been wanting voice input since the day I got the phone. Need to get used to not being able to swipe it away (unless I'm missing something), but I think it's a major plus!

Nevermind... you can choose swipe to hide in the options. Perfect! Definitely a keeper!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] revlayle:
Nice job - i actually flashed this over RegawMod v1.3.1 without any major issues (i did have to reinstall the twitter and weather widget, no problem really). My only issue, which is my own right now, is getting from YouMail back to Visual Voice Mail, seems the VVM is not picking up my voice messages and I have no clue on how to configure it - lol. (I guess I can go back to YouMail, its not a bad app).

Still... this is pretty much as good as it gets for now :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rank78:
To those with wifi not getting selected, make sure you're using the NEW upload of v2.3. I had that problem and came here to find the rom link was updated and after flashing it my wifi works fine.

Check the zip names, the new one is v2.0r3.2(2)

[Hero CDMA Android Development] trevolutionary:
Flashed the r3 without A2SD and it runs FAST. Solved MMS issues I was having, wifi tether still works, friendstream finally works....

but NO PROTECTED APPS again. I will attempt to flash back to r2 and up again and see.

UPDATE: Still no protected apps, reverted to DCv1.0 after wipe, downloaded a couple protected apps, wiped and flashed back to v2.0r3 - still no protected apps. Argh. Hoping someone figures this out, will using another google account as primary change this I wonder? Will update after i check.

UPDATE: Wiping, re-flashing DCv2.0r3, and using a different google account made no difference - still no protected apps.
