There is something already started with stuff for the Damage roms. You could pm the OP to have him add stuff possibly.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] kratos313:
thanks

thanks for that i had to find a way to really get online since my computers cable burnt out last night... but the reason i asked is cause i saw on android central that there is an app called cyanogen mod updater thats suppose to help update ANY ROM when updates come out for them.. and if damage has his own why not use that one.

also found the bookmark backup and restore app on there as well.

and if anyone is having problems with the facebook sync i found the fix on one of the other boards here and flashed it and it worked like a charm..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kratos313:
so all this can be deleted with out any problems or FC all over the place?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] marcusva79:
Does anyone know if the DAILER is gonna be changed as far as getting rid of the prediction and the vibration. That makes the dialer lag like crazy.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smw6180:
Ok, noob question time. Do I need a friendstream apk in order to use the widget? (I haven't messed with Friendstream yet), or is that widget self-contained?

If I DO need a standalone version, can someone link me to it? I can't seem to find it.

Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] linkinx64:
You can disable those on the dialer settings...or keyboard settings
[Hero CDMA Android Development] animal7296:
IF you want your VVM to work DO NOT REMOVE Sprint_Core.apk. I did that and VVM went away.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] marcusva79:
How do you do that on the dialer. I only get like three options. How much of a NOOb am I.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kratos313:
ok thanks for the heads up i'll stay away from that

i need to clean up some of the junk that sprint and htc put in here that i don't need or thats not useful
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Stramondroid:
ok!

Im sure its much better than 1.5, Ive been on damages 2.1 for a month now, I love it. I dont mind fiddling, Im a software/network engineer in biometrics, I love fiddling.. Nandroid done, flashing now!! lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jerry43812:
OP should place "How to..." guides in his post #1 so people like me, who get tired of reading 300 pages, can actully LEARN how to add mods, apk's, and remove things instead of reading what seems to be 75%+ whining, omplaining, and pure spam.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smw6180:
Umm....you don't have to actually read all of the thread. You can search the forums for any one of those questions.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Stramondroid:
Yeah, you gotta learn to cut through the BS, and flashing is the same no matter what rom, as far as adding mods, apk's and removing things, im quick to say that Im sure there are many threads explaining this, and they arent gonna waste time repeating themselves.

Id do a search and see if you can find what your looking for. Ive been without VVM and GV since I flashed the 2.1espresso rom, and still happier than i was with 1.5.

always remember this is just my opinion... :)

:::I know i can use .2 GV, but i cant find it, also didnt spend alot of time looking..:::
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kratos313:
hey saw you said you had VVM problems and GV problems did you ever fix them?

If not PM me i might be able to help i just fixed mine last night now i have my VVM back
[Hero CDMA Android Development] navalynt:
Correct :) I'm not a sprint user, and I don't care about Facebook or Flickr. I also don't care about the build-in Twitter (via Peep) because I use Tweetcaster so I usually spend a few minutes with either Root Manager or a windows command prompt and adb access to remove a ton of crapware.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kratos313:
ok i plan on deleating the other stuff no tall the sprint stuff i've already trashed the NFL,NASCAR apps and the Twitter (Peep) Apks and widgets along with footprints

now i wanna get rid of the test crap and other Htc stuff that has no use for me.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ebartolon:
I use root explorer and go to system/app and delete all the bloatware! it increases speed by x2. Removed like 15 apps.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ejqr5:
I searched but didn't find anything about the problem I'm having. Whenever I flash this rom, my time is off by 4 hours in HTC widgets and on the top right corner. If I flash back to Damage v1, the time is correct. The time is only correct if I flash to a 1.5 rom or the earlier Damage rom. The time is off on any other rom out there. Anyone else having this problem?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ebartolon:
are the time zones correct?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Stramondroid:
im sold.

WoW, I mean Uber WoW, This is great, thank you, now to find whats broken...lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ebartolon:
Wait what?:confused:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ejqr5:
Yes, time zones are correct. It will show the correct location, but the time is completely off. It's kinda baffling.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ebartolon:
is the pri correct? how many time have you flashed?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ejqr5:
PRI is 1.70_003. I've tried flashing it about 4 times each rom that will give me the wrong time. I've wiped before every flash.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jerry43812:
is there anything similar to root explorer but for free?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ebartolon:
Does it show Sprint as the operator?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ebartolon:
pm me saying you want the link.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ejqr5:
Sprint is showing as my operator.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] apatcas:
so there's some rumors about an update... is it tonite? cause its 6:30 here now... no rush, just want to know
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ebartolon:
tommorow?:D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] energizer1389:
ES File explorer will let you browse the root of your phone.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jvermillion:
He said "tonight," but I'm not sure what time zone he's in. In any case, 6:30 isn't really night, is it? Heheh. Previous updates have come fairly late, though...I'd say check back around midnight. But, I'm not damage's official spokesperson either, and I have just as much of an idea as you do. :P

Also, to the guy who said he can't get GV working...have you tried downloading the version from the market? I'm using it and haven't had any problems yet.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jwill182:
Ok, I had my brother root my phone because I am not a computer person (pathetic, I know), and the main thing I was aiming for was to Wireless Tether. Well, it worked great and I have been using it for a few months with the Wireless Tether For Root Users app and have been loving every MB of it.... BUT, I took a chance and decided to do this update as well, so that I could see what all the hype was about for the 2.1 and since then I cannot figure out how to get wireless tether back. I googled Wireless Tether For Root Users and it took me to a page to download it, so I did. I then sent it straight to my SD card, but now I cannot find it anywhere on my phone. What the hell am I doing wrong or just not doing at all? Someone Please Help Me!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jvermillion:
You can use a file explorer like ES to install it directly from the SD card.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jwill182:
I dont even know what that is, lol. I literally am a computer idiot, I can type... and go online... and do fantasy drafts, but thats about it. I know I had a file explorer before, but I dont see it on my phone anymore either... where and how do I get that? Sorry, I am probably the dumbest person with a Hero, I just love internet and not having to pay to have it at home, lol.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jwill182:
nevermind, I think that is an app in the market place... I told you I am an idiot
[Hero CDMA Android Development] GURUGTS:
The Update

April 1st is just a bad time to download any release, even if it does come out I will wait until the 3rd to be sure.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jwill182:
Ok, So I got the File Explorer and I went on to download the app from my SD card... and it doesn't work. Now what? When I try to tether it says 'unable to tether, try again'.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jvermillion:
Did you apply the SU patch from page 1 of this thread?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Stramondroid:
Google Nav Beta

Im not able to make the Google nav beta launch, is this because sprint nav is in the way? Also, I dont think protected apps are showing, I cant remember which ones, but other than VVM, I dont see a reason why I should fool with this ROM yet, and I did search on the issues I have, but I cant find any resolve.

Im gonna watch Gamer, it just got here (Netflix rox! :) and watch the thread, please tell me that there are fixes for the issues at hand, and yes im aware of the fb fix and ill do that if everything else is in order, but again, I am screwed by sprint out of things everyone else on this version gets.. (F Sprint Nav)

Damage you are the man, and the fact that this was out as close to the RUMORMILL date is amazzing, flat out amazzzzing! You are awesome, and Google should hire you to work on the android team.. wouldnt that look nice to the misses....lol

Again, I love this community, and I will be in for life, as android is now my life... :-)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ebartolon:
it has become my life too.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] energizer1389:
Damageless first said last night but he postponed for tonight. Is he working for Sprint now? Just Kidding. I think Damage has a surprise for us tonight...

This wait has reminded me of the day my kid was born...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jvermillion:
Sprint Nav shouldn't conflict with Google Maps at all. Have you tried removing Maps and installing the latest version from the Market? Works fine for me; I just used it yesterday to go on a business trip.

Additionally, the protected apps thing is a known and clearly-stated bug for this ROM; maybe an update will be on the way soon, but for now that's just how it is. Some people have had luck with the MarketEnabler.apk, which can be found earlier on in this thread (search for it) but I myself didn't have any luck with it.

Other than that, everything else is working about 95%...there are some random glitches here and there, but they'll get smoothed out eventually.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ebartolon:
i can't wait!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ebartolon:
hes right they both shouldn't conflict, try updating it fixed my problem.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jwill182:
You are the smartest person alive!!!!!!! Thank you thank you thank you thank you!!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NewYorkLaw:
I tried to install this friendstream.apk, but it would not install. Is there a trick? I've installed other .apk's with EStrongs.

Pete
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kratos313:
I would try the update from the market I haven't had any problems White mine.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jvermillion:
Oh god, please stroke my ego some more. </offtopic>

Have you tried pushing the APKs to /system/app with ADB?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Stramondroid:
allright,

Im trying to update now, initially got the force close issue, Im going to reboot then try to do it through device self service. Ill figure out the nav issue, and apply the fb fix. Maybe we will get that surprise! l will post more later,, thanks for the quick replies..

The only reason I wasn't here before now, was i had a Blackberry 8330. I couldnt take it anymore, and fell in love with this phone. of course I will get the EVO when its available, I will cherish this phone as the first phone that actually worked as advertised.. (Thanks in HUGGGGGE part to XDA, and damageless)

You guys rock, this is def. one of the better forums Ive been a part of..lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NewYorkLaw:
No, I had not. I'll see if I can muster up the courage to try and figure that one out! Should not be too much of a stretch, being I rooted my own phone...

Thanks,

Pete
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jvermillion:
If you saved the APKs to your sdcard, do this:

adb remount

adb push /sdcard/packagename.apk /system/app

Pretty easy! :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pfer10:
I flashed this ROM as soon as I got home from Sams Club with my hero this last Sunday. Very nice ROM after I removed the sprint updater that was holding back the alarms. One question I have is the Exchange Server setup. On a 2.1 rom I was trying on my Vogue (previous phone) it had push technology from MS exchange. I assume Google had to license this? I had a stock sprint hero that I took back several weeks ago that would stop taking in text messages and voicemails would stack up for several days before I would get notified. I noticed the stock 1.5 HTC sprint rom had polling every 15 minutes to exchange. I figured this 2.1 would have exchange push also but it still uses the polling method. Any idea why the 2.1 roms are different on how they handle exchange sync? Is it an HTC thing? Also what version of wifi tether have you guys put on this rom that works?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pfer10:
FYI my old rom on the vogue was a T-moble G1 port. Maybe that is the difference? It seems like somebody had to license the push technology and I thought it would be google.

Now back to the program! Can't wait for the update. This rom rocks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ebartolon:
Google Rocks Everybody! +1 For Google!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NewYorkLaw:
Not working for me. I did adb devices and see my device, so I'm connected, but when I do

adb remount

adb push /sdcard/downloads/com.htc.FriendStreamWidget.apk /system/app

I get "cannot start /sdcard/downloads/com.htc.FriendStreamWidget.apk : no such file or directory"

Suggestions?

Pete
[Hero CDMA Android Development] navalynt:
You can't push a file that's already there. You need to use cp

adb shell cp /sdcard/downloads/com.htc.FriendStreamWidget.apk /system/app/com.htc.FriendStreamWidget.apk
[Hero CDMA Android Development] danieledwards1:
Bluetooth and Mercedes

With this ROM, my blue-tooth pairs in my Mercedes; but it connects, disconnects, connects, disconnects, conn....you get the idea. Anybody got a solution. I have unpaired, deactivated and reactivated and repaired and shut each off, etc...to no avail.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] riddlebox1980:
ok, so how do apply the patch4? I have downloaded it but havent seen any instructions on how to apply the patch is it as simple as patch -p1 < patch4.zip? or is it a flash from the recovery? This rom is so great I have gotten everything to work, the only thing not working is my wifi tether!

Edit: Also I forgot to ask, is there any way to speed up the dialer, every rom even the sprint rom the dialer app takes forever to actually dial a number and when you are on a call and press end sometimes it takes a couple of seconds and you try to hit end again and then the phone will call the last person you called... I dont know if anyone else sees this but that is my only problem with the hero.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pfer10:
try /system/app/
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jvermillion:
Hm, I don't think that's true.

And if you notice, the error is telling him that /sdcard/downloads/blahblah.apk doesn't exist.

NewYorkLaw, are you sure it's in /sdcard/downloads, and your phone is in Charge Only mode?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dwertz:
Flash from recovery, nano backup first.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] s0v3r1gn:
Bricked Phone?

I'm not sure if my phone is bricked or not. I received an incoming call, but my screen didn't turn on and I couldn't answer the call. The phone wouldn't wake up at all after the call ended up being missed. I pulled the battery to reboot the phone, and now it wont boot back up. Not even into RA.

What do I do?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dwertz:
Put it in your C:\AndroidSDK\Tools\ folder or where ever you have the adb at.

Then type

adb remount

adb push com.htc.FriendStreamWidget.apk /system/app/

this skips the whole placing it on the sdcard.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ebartolon:
where was your phone when you received the call?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NewYorkLaw:
Same thing.

That gave me the same error. I moved the file to my sdcard's root, to take "downloads" out of the equation. no change.

Hmmmm.

Pete
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jerry43812:
On my SD, the download folder is actually called 'download', not 'downloads' try that bud.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ebartolon:
yeah mine says download.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jvermillion:
And mass storage mode is disabled, right?

I'd suggest doing what the guy above said; just move the apk to c:\android-sdk-windows\tools, and then

adb push ./packagename.apk /system/app
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NewYorkLaw:
Thanks. I do, in fact, have a "download" folder but that file was in the other folder, "downloads." Either way, I pushed it into the root directory of sdcard, and that made no difference. I still can adb devices and see my serial number and device, so I'm sure I'm properly connected.

Pete
[Hero CDMA Android Development] s0v3r1gn:
In my pocket...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ebartolon:
what rom was installed? and maybe your phone overheated?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jerry43812:
Are you making sure to type the EXACT drive name/directory name, including making sure that you are minding Uppercase and lowercase?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] s0v3r1gn:
DamageControl v2.0r2

It wasn't hot at all...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ebartolon:
this is actually pretty weird:confused: when you turn it on does i do anything?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NewYorkLaw:
That seems to have done it, thanks.

Do I have to close the session somehow now? (I adb "remount"'ed - do have to "mount" or do something before I exit?

Pete
[Hero CDMA Android Development] s0v3r1gn:
Brings up the black screen with HTC, or the screen that says the version of RA, but no menu...

I just did a hard reset... Well see if that works or not.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] animal7296:
Try removing the battery and re-installing it and then charge for about an hour. Then turn it on. See if for some reason your battery went past dead.

EDIT: NVM You were posting as I was so that answered my question. Carry on. LOLOL
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pseudoremora:
You can type "exit" and it will close command prompt and no you don't have to "unmount" anything.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jerry43812:
SIDE NOTE: I jsut removed about 6 different sprint stock apps from the phone and rebooted, and now I have about 15mb more ram free! I feel like that is a success, and I want to get more of it free (somehow) I'd love to be near 70 like I used to be on 1.5
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ebartolon:
Does it run faster?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jerry43812:
Between having 29 free and 44 free, yes I notice some improvement. Let me mess with it some more and see what happens.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NewYorkLaw:
I'm starting to feel stupid, sorry for the extra noobie questions. I rexited, restarted the phone, and friendstream was not installed. So I browsed to the system/app folder thinking maybe I had to "install" it by clicking it there - but it's not there. All my other system files are there, but not the one I just pushed there.

Pete
[Hero CDMA Android Development] s0v3r1gn:
The battery was almost fully charged. I did a hard reset and it seems to have booted back up, but is running very, very slowly. I will probably RUU it, and see if it keeps running slowly.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jvermillion:
Now that IS a conundrum. Let me try it myself.

Edit: Just tried it myself. Seems to work just fine, with the exception that the FriendStream widget isn't actually showing any information. Anyway, try pushing it again. This time, don't bother rebooting the phone. Just long-press and try to add the widget.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jerry43812:
Well... so far I havent noticed anythign take over 5 seconds to load, and the 2 things that took 5 seconds to show activity after i pressed them were the 'text messages' and 'broswer' overall I am pleased with removing what I removed.

I removed the following:

android-wifi-tether-1.60 (doesnt workf or me)

com.htc.TwitterWidget.apk

Facebook.apk

Flickr.apk

HtcTwitter.apk

Sprint_TV.apk

Sprint_TVWidget.apk

Also, damn... after 3 minutes I am down to 29mb free again.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ebartolon:
what is "HtcIQAgent.apk"?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jerry43812:
There's a ****load of things in there that I have no clue what they are, and that's one of them. There's a sprint stocks app in there, but there's about 5 things in the root explorer with the word 'stock' in it and i dont want to delete the wrong thing, ya know?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NewYorkLaw:
I even tried rebooting the phone in recovery mode, connecting and adb pushing the same way. It appears to transfer ( I see the byte speed) but it's not there when I restart the phone. And, I'm sure I am not hallucinating.

Pete
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Stramondroid:
alarm not working

okay ive removed sprint app updater, and still no alarm..?? NVM GOT IT!! (REBOOT DOH!)

btw, the fb fix worked great, took a minute to get htcfacebook.apk off, but i managed, gotta love adb...!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NewYorkLaw:
EDIT: I tried again and tried to add the widget, but it's not in my list. I'm going to give up - thanks anyway. I'll see if I want to try again on the next update to this rom. (unless it's already installed).

Pete
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jvermillion:
There have been some problems with the FriendStream widget, but I haven't heard of it disappearing randomly. TBH, I don't think it works right anyway, especially if you did the Facebook APK fix posted earlier.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NewYorkLaw:
Here's a thought. When I rooted my phone and installed the android sdk, that was for 1.5. Do I need to install a new windows sdk for android 2.1 before these functions will work properly?

Pete
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jvermillion:
I don't see why you would. I've been using the same SDK since January and it's working fine.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ebartolon:
i have about 62 mb free at boot.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] SelfWill:
thanks and excellent work Damageless

I downloaded this Rom Sunday night and got called in to cover a shift at work before I could thank you. Having the new Google nav was priceless while driving on calls. Id been waiting for 2.1 since I was unsure about mixing carrier software, so I sat on the sideline reading about the amazing work, so the moment I saw based on Sprint I jumped in to enjoy the fun.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NewYorkLaw:
Oh well, it was just a thought. I searched for help, and stumbled onto the android sdk page and noticed it had been updated. I thought maybe that was my problem. Anyway, I'm officially giving up on this particular task, thanks to those who tried to help!

Pete

small issue; does anyone use Quick Boot? I'm having a problem where, I downloaded QB and when I tried to use it, it opens SU but the screen remains blank. So I did a manual reboot and checked SU and it appeared to be working so I tried QB again and the same thing happened. Any ideas?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pfer10:
can you post a list of the names you took out?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ebartolon:
too much to count.

The first page says fix is coming has it been already posted?
