Seems like no one can really figure out the protected apps thing...I've tried a few things, none have helped...I'll try yours too...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] randalldeflagg:
do alarms work? that is the only thing holding me back at this moment
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 4SidedDie:
Will we be getting a version out that doesnt have the stock apps, I want to remove them so bad but I normally do root manager but being protected apps arent showing Im kind of SOL at the moment..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] navalynt:
No, alarms not working :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PlagaDeRock:
They are not working for me.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
Alarms work for some, not for others.

Alarm works fine for me. I'm sure we'll find a fix soon.

Just needing someone to send me a logcat. I got one but it didn't have any useful info
[Hero CDMA Android Development] shashster:
My Alarm works just fine though. It seems to be one of those works for some but not for all issues.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nebenezer:
I tried your advice, the chmod went through but cat shows the settings are not getting applied. Is there something else I need to do ,other than giving exec rights, to make the system run gumbo.sh?

Everytime I try to edit init.rc it just reverts back after reboot, does it get re-written every boot or something? I can't figure this out...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
If the stock alarm doesn't work, anything from the market will.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] seyer0686:
You have to try it for yourself to see if the alarm works. I have the PRI 1.70_003 and everything works fine except the protected apps showing in the market, but I was able to restore them through titanium backup. There are no problems that are common for everyone so the only way to know what will work for you is to try it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] troyboytn:
No alarms here either. I also dont want more redundant apk clutter that I dont need (another alarm app from the market) Can we expect a fix Damage? Other than this, the lack of protected apps, and the lack of colored icons at the bottom of clock, email, and browser history screens Im really liking this rom.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] lulu1993:
What do you use to edit your Hero's root files?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] RavenII:
Oh, and the only reason I mentioned being blacklisted is because even flashing back to my bart backup doesn't allow me to see the protected apps again...I'm assuming it's got something to do with Google...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] regaw_leinad:
Damageless, I am still getting 100% wake time. Was there a fix? It's eating through battery like crazy
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
whats your pri
[Hero CDMA Android Development] seyer0686:
Did you try the PRI fix?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] regaw_leinad:
1.70_003

did the reset.

still 100% though.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
yeh have not tested if that fixes the 100% awake time. hmm what is 100% exactly? the phone or radio
[Hero CDMA Android Development] regaw_leinad:
The 100% awake time..... BUT. it was probably just a sync thing.

cause now the values are different.

its sleeping now! yay lol after 30 minutes
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nebenezer:
uh-oh...

I just followed agimax's instructions for quieting the boot sound...

I wasn't paying attention and erased EVERYTHING in system/media...:eek:

DOH... DOUBLE DOH!!! I have no more ringers, notification sounds and who know what else!! although it did seem to boot quicker:)

Reflashing... :p
[Hero CDMA Android Development] regaw_leinad:
wait you want me to ul the folder? tell me how you want it (bootscreen/sounds) ill make it so you can just push instead of reflash everything
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nebenezer:
Thanks, but I'm almost finished reflashing. I didn't wipe anything...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jakejm79:
You didnt need to reflash, just pull the media folder from the zip file and then push it to your phone.

Also I see everyone mentioning about checking their time without signal, I remember seeing this option before, but now i can't find it, any idea where i could find that info?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] regaw_leinad:
you'll have to reflash espresso and all that though
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MotherMayI:
so far, facebook sync is the one that leaves the sync symbol at the top, and i noticed that when i put the people widget up and clicked on one of the peeps to create the shortcut the whole screen was black and i couldnt see what to make default
[Hero CDMA Android Development] regaw_leinad:
I noticed the FB thing too, that's the culprit
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
the sync issue seems to be connected to just checking and unchecking the options under settings/sync/gmail and facebook.

doing that fixed it everytime
[Hero CDMA Android Development] seyer0686:
settings > about phone > battery > battery use > cell standby
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dominion300:
I'm having all the same issues everyone else is experiencing except one. If this is listed my apologies, kinda hard to find all the info in a 200 page thread :P My google calendar is syncing up my calendars, but not actually adding any dates. For example you go into calendar -> menu -> calendars it lists all the ones listed online, but there are no dates actually in the calendar. This is with sync issues. Google mail and contacts are all syncing.....ok...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nebenezer:
Thanks good to know!

TWS is in about phone>battery>batteryuse>cell standby

It only shows when you are running on battery and reset everytime you unplug from the charger

Well thanks for making it so easy!! Now I get to try out the espresso+taskbar you made last night :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jmoch2:
menu -> settings -> about phone -> battery. It will show you up time vs. awake time.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] regaw_leinad:
let me know how that works too :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nimitz87:
so this newest release now at 4ish pm is fixed? I stopped on page 17 where people were having sync/battery issues, currently reading through the entire thread (yes I do actually do this) and I mean page 17 w/ max posts per page lol.

I'm running 1.1v5 and everything works, besides VVM (use GV) is there any reason at all to swap to the "official" 2.1 what are the benefits at the present moment?

[Hero CDMA Android Development] marcusva79:
I dont understand this ##786# + MSL + Menu -> Reset + OK + Wait patiently = SUCCESS![/QUOTE]

Am I supposed to do the ##786# first then the msl. Mine screen reads everything then does not let me do anything.

Please help.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] unCoRrUpTeD:
Doh! LMFAO

updated the thread with alot better instructions.

check the sticky wicky very top of forums
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dominion300:
when it comes to updating to a newer release should you do the full wipe and install the ROM? Noticed some updates to original thread but no changes in version number.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nebenezer:
Espresso+taskbar worked perfect. Thanks again!

I had to redo my reboot fix too... I wonder what I'm forgetting...

If I want to silenc my boot up can I not just remove /system/media/android_audio.mp3?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MrTrip:
[/QUOTE]

I'll clarify..

Open up your dialer pad and enter ##786# and wait. It should disappear and a box come up saying "Initializing"

Then, a menu will come up and it will ask for your MSL. Enter your MSL and press OK.

Press the Menu key and press Reset

It will ask if you want to reset, hit OK

Wait PATIENTLY! It will take AWHILE.

It will reboot into the recovery rom (Maybe) and say Formatting Cache Formatting Data etc. Then it will sit there. Hit Reboot Phone.

Once it reboots, it will do its OTA Activation and you will be good to go.

Takes awhile to complete but it works flawless. If you have problems, nandroid back to a 1.5 based rom (Fresh 1.1 seems to work good) and repeat the steps.

Verify PRI is below version 2.2 and you are good to go.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
man that might be what changes the PRI in the eris builds. so thats a good thing
[Hero CDMA Android Development] regaw_leinad:
yup.

let me know if you want that cool logcat one from one of the other builds too. ill hook you up lol

Anyone know of any good skins for Windows Media Player? Something like the stock skin but more finger friendly? It's a PITA to use with those tiny fonts...
[Hero CDMA General] zippy-man:
I have noticed that the haptic feedback in the first Eris 2.1 Roms (maybe the newer one too have not tried it) is different from 1.5 and other 2.1 roms like the Legend Roms

In the Eris Rom the haptic feedback is much lighter. When tapping a key you feel vibration but it is much less then normal.

I have found this to increase keyboard speed and cause less lag over all and it just seems better to type with. It is enough vibration to give feedback but very minimal.

In the Legend Rom I am running now the haptic feedback is back to normal(same as 1.5)

I am not sure what controls the haptic feedback but maybe if we can find it and be able to adjust that then it might give less lag on the keyboard in other Roms.

I know back when I had the palm pre it was possible to change the vibration patterns and time in milliseconds I think to make haptic feedback stronger or weaker.

I tried replacing the HTC_IME.apk from the Eris build into a Legend build but that just causes multiple FC problems.

Any Thoughts?
[Hero CDMA General] notasimpleway:
I noticed this too. I like the Eris vibrate better. I'll ask someone to see if this can be changed. Surely you can change a file or something.
[Hero CDMA General] zippy-man:
I am still working on this. I have tried replacing multiple files within HTC_IME.apk from the Eris leak and pushing to the phone but nothing has changed the feedback yet.

I have got it to not FC when using file from the Eris leak but not getting anywhere with the feedback. I am thinking that it is not in HTC_IME and somewhere else within the Rom but I am unsure at this point I am going to keep looking around and see what I find.
[Hero CDMA General] notasimpleway:
Been working on this, but I can't seem to get my XML files to open. They are nothing but random characters. Any idea?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rvenes:
Hello.

Im trying to get app 2 sd to work.

But i think i miss somting.

This is an unbranded HTC Hero in Europe.

This is what i have done:

Downloaded: flashrec-1.1.3-20091107-2.apk and recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img and flashed the recovery boot loader.

Updated the phone with 3.2-update-hero-modacocustomrom-core-signed.zip from the recoveryboot loader menu.

Updated the phone with update-hero-radio-63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26-signed.zip from the recoveryboot loader menu.

Now i booted my phone and used it a few minutes.

Then i partitioned the SD card from the bootloader.

Swap-size = 32 MB

Ext2-size = 512 MB

Fat32-Size = Remainder (8 gb transcend class 6 card)

Then i did a move apps+davl to SD

I think i also did a fix apk vid mismatches.

Is this all that's needed to be done?

Or did i somthing in the wrong order here?

How can i check that i'm using my SD card?

Are the default partition sizes OK?

I'm sorry, but i was not able to post images here, links are not allowed for new users, picture of the process... you need to copy paste if you want to look at the pictures...

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phaelox:
No need to select "Move apps+dalvik to SD" as Apps2SD will automatically kick in if it detects an ext2/3/4 partition on your sdcard. Don't know if it makes a difference that you did though.

Default partition sizes are okay, 512 MB is plenty for tons of apps. Don't think you need any swap for Modaco, at least I always set swap to 0 MB. Oh and keep the ext2 partition ext2 (don't upgrade to ext3/4, it wears out your sdcard much quicker).

You can check if it worked by using adb (if you don't know how to use adb, use the search):

adb shell

ls -al /data

If the output includes something like this:

lrwxrwxrwx root root 2010-03-16 23:42 app-private -> /system/sd/app-private

lrwxrwxrwx root root 2010-03-16 23:42 app -> /system/sd/app

...then you're golden. The arrows mean they are symlinks pointing to your sdcard, as opposed to actual directories (in phone memory).

EDIT: or much simpler. Run AndroidCommander.

Hope that helps.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rvenes:
Thank you.

I've moved on, so now using HeroDroid 0.4, but that change change within the end of the day.

First time flashing it was scary, 2nd not so scary, and the 3rd one will be just a walk in the park.

I assume ADB is Android Debug Bridge...

I've also tried AndroidCommander, but didnt get it to work... must look into that...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phaelox:
You're welcome. You're right about the scariness, however always make sure to do a nandroid backup before flashing, or it will get scary again. ;)

Yes, and ADB is included in the android SDK you can grab from google. Running the SDK setup also allows you to download the usb debug driver (it's listed in sdk setup's repository as "usb driver package") you need for ADB - and Android Commander in turn, as it relies on adb for everything. You need to manually replace the HTC sync driver with the one from the sdk.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rvenes:
Hmm...

maybe it works...

img696.imageshack.us/img696/9166/app2sd.jpg

In that image you see a arrow pointing to somwhere else...

but with the ADB command i get an error...

w:\android-sdk_r05-windows\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb shell

# ls -al /data

ls -al /data

-al: No such file or directory

I did not change the HTC driver that i have installed on my Win 7 64 bit, but i am "inside" the phone... i have installed a program with AndroidCommander, and when i try just "ls" i get a list...

# ls

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phaelox:
Looks like it works for you! The green arrow in AndroidCommander means it's a symlink pointing elsewhere. And in the statusbar it says you have 430 MB free space on your ext partition. Assuming you used the default 512MB, that means there's already some 82 MB of apps on there. If all apps are showing in your Applications list, then it's all good. :cool:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kawifreak11:
I've looked around and haven't dug up any answers, so I figured I'd ask.

The right directional button on my tilt is stuck on. It's not pushed down, the button is free to be pushed in and out, but the phone is registering it as being held down. It even does it when you open the phone into landscape mode, but it selects downwardly because of the change of screen orientation.

If you mash the face buttons while it is glitching, it stops, but then the right direction key doesn't work. However, if you slide it open or closed, it just starts doing it again.

I am at a loss for ideas. Internal problem?
[HD2 General] hiddengopher:
I heard the standby time on this phone is awesome.

When I got it, the standby time was terrible!

How can I improve battery life?

What am I missing?

EDIT: added poll :)
[HD2 General] Smartmob:
This is my experiance.

When I bought the phone...first 3 times I fully discharged my battery and charge it over night when he was off. 3 times like that, one kind of "formating" battery process.

Now with stock ROM 1.66 WWE EastEurope...5-6 programs and 3 games,with normal use I can used him 48h, with full use of everything...24h.

In standbye over night 1%/3h dropps down...
[HD2 General] hiddengopher:
hey thanks! I'll try that. so just let the battery die then charge it up again and repeat?
[HD2 General] lude219:
Do a search. I average about 2.5 days of moderate use.
[HD2 General] rickyoon.vegas:
please don't let your battery die.

Li_ion batteries doesn't suffer from memory loss, so there is no reason to let it discharge fully. let it get low like 3-5%.

but besides that, conditioning of the battery is important on a new battery.

if you flash a new ROM, it is also important to go through cycles before it configured the correct battery capacity.

i got it a couple of days ago as well, and standby time is very impressive. batteryrarely drops over-night.

the problem is during the day with heavy usage...
[HD2 General] hiddengopher:
last night I let it go down to 6% and then powered off.

Then I charged to 100% overnight and I think the life today is better than normal. :D

I've played a little tekken and I still have 4 filled in battery slots!
[HD2 General] Archer:
Turn off push email and limit anything that updates automatically (weather, facebook info etc..) I went from 1 day to 3 days just by doing that.
[HD2 General] hiddengopher:
oh wow. so if I turn these things that update automatically, can I still hit update now?

I do that now anyway!
[HD2 General] Smartmob:
Yes...you can always hit "Update now" when you wanna se any new update.

Today...i phoned for cca 3min, send & recieve 20SMS, 20min playing with device...and my battery drops on 85% now...from 8h in the morning...thats in 14h 15% :D
[HD2 General] EgoMaximus:
Is it possible to make maybe that it won't update weather at night?
[HD2 General] Archer:
As smartmob says, yes. I did it like that for a few days but ended up switching most things back on (email accounts, weather, ms myphone etc.), but with longer intervals between things.

I was suprised how much of a difference turning off these things made to be honest. Turns out that my telling off from O2 (1.2GB of data in a week :eek:) was a blessing in disguise ;)
[HD2 General] funky26cro:
where did u get 1.66 wwe east europe stock rom its not out yet
[HD2 General] joefosho315:
Hmm, so having read up on some posts claiming that battery life steadily improves with the HD2, I've been patient since Wed (when I got the phone, TMOUS HD2), but my battery life is still horrific. I've got every auto update off, besides weather and email every half hour. I've adjusted every other option I could think of that would drain the battery, and yet, I'm experiencing at best, a 6-7 hour usage with NO web browsing, 2-3 calls, and about 10 texts. In standby alone, my phone is dropping 2-3% every half hour it seems. Also, I've made sure that no superfluous programs are running in the background via taskmanager. Now I've read that others have had poor battery life too, but my case seems pretty bad, and don't see hope that the battery will improve much beyond this. Is it possible that my phone is faulty or that my battery's faulty? or perhaps even both?
[HD2 General] Archer:
There's obviously something wrong somewhere, isn't there!

Perhaps it may be a good idea to try a different battery. It obviously means buying a new one (and not some cheap crap off ebay either!), but it's an easier option than sending your lovely new phone away for repair.
[HD2 General] daballr07:
same here

especially coming from a nexus one, since day 1 i have tried all of these solutions and no success.. i did a hard reset as well just to see if that had anything to do with it and it didnt..

im at 40% and i have had the phone for 6 hours and a half, i literally sent 10 texts and called 2 people for a total of 20 minutes.. really strange..

i wish these smartphones had bb battery lives lol, but then again my bb didnt really have a huge screen or touchscreens
[HD2 General] joefosho315:
yeah if I can't figure out what's causing the issue, I might just go ahead and get my HD2 exchanged for a new one since I'm still within the 14 day return period for Tmobile. Too bad I already applied my screen protector! What a waste...
[HD2 General] ibocam:
Maybe you can try using with no sd card. Some people found out that one faulty mp3 may cause such issue. Have a look at the topic 'Extreme battery usage with non-official ROMs' under HD2 ROM Development section.

I wanted to post a link for this topic but I cannot post link due to some restrictions.
[HD2 General] joefosho315:
Interesting, thanks for the heads up. The thing is, I've only been running the stock factory ROM, and I haven't even uploaded any MP3's onto the device either. Anyhow, I'll give a read through and take my SD card out now to see if it helps!
[HD2 General] Smartmob:
Evo, ovdje klikni na prvi link i u folderu 1.66 ćeš naći i EastEurope ;) Nije službeno izašao...ali ga ima ovdje...neznam kako ali ima, ja ga instalirao i kao svaki drugi stock ROM je.

I'm beginning to think there's something faulty with the TMO-US HD2's.

We should do some testing...
[HD2 General] UncleBeer:
This sounds comparable to my experience. I'm unwilling to have such a fine gadget and turn off all the cool stuff, so I've just resigned myself to charging pretty often or carrying spare batteries.

As an aside, I have a hard time believing anyone who says they get more than 24 hours out of a charge, regardless of settings (aside from completely off).

The automanaged backlighting also helps, turn off all auto-updates. gsm mode only too. But my phone gets charged everywhere anyway.. at home, it's plugged in, in the car, plugged in, and at work...
