Rom is awesome

Damage... Great job. The ONLY issue i personally seem to have is the Sync issue hanging after it auto-sync's. I had been running a rooted 1.56 ROM forever and had it pretty well tweaked, but was too impatient to wait any longer for 2.1. So I loaded your 2.0r2 and IT IS FREAKING AWESOME. Thanks for all your hard work. What little issues that are out there for those who were able to install properly... its a great ROM. No one is forcing people to stay on these ROMs if they are not working, they can just RUU and wait for Sprint to help them out on the 9th. I can update Profile and PRL without issue. I haven't tried to Wifi tether yet, but I really don't need that feature anyway!

Again, many thanks!!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aauussttiinn88:
damn guy ssorry i coulndt help....but i would look into if there is some way you can activate a2sd through adb cause for some weird reason i think there is
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jonesdana:
Sorry for being a Newb

What is A2sd that everyone keeps talking about.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] schizopunk:
Yeah, there normally is. I have a feeling thats what it is...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dametzg:
It was this ROM, but it was a nandroid restore from before I fixed the PRI. With that I had a PRI of 1.68_003, Sprint as the network, a working alarm clock, but the phone wouldn't sleep. I did a wipe and reinstalled DC 2.0r2. Now my PRI is still 1.68_003, Sprint is the network, the phone sleeps properly, but the alarm clock no longer works. Go figure...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nbroneobi:
so live wallpapers are working? what about friendstream??
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jonesdana:
Backup

I didn't have a backup before loading 2.0r2 so i just went and re-downloaded everything. When Sprint releases their 2.1 ROM what backup method / program is the best to use to backup my apps/data/ etc...

If you post a suggested program, please also let me know where I can get it!

Many thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jonesdana:
Both are working for me! Friendstream seems to take a sec or so delay before it pops up. It is working however.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] icm714:
hey darch i started to read thru this last nite and i go tired at page 75 lol so was wondering since your the first post after damage can you edit it gradually with the errors that are still on the rom i know that a2sd dont work unless you patch it with your files, and the market works for some and not for others i think this would help out alot of new ppl and well as the old timers, and if they want to find the fix they can search for it,

just a suggestion im still debating on trying it cause i have DC v1 the way i like it lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kshelton:
How do you get live wallpapers to work? I installed the package on my phone and downloaded a live wallpaper but I can't set it as my wallpaper.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mthanded:
Is the standard clock weather widget in the widget list? I cant seem to find it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jonesdana:
a2sd

Okay, I did what i should done before asking and googled a2sd (apps 2 SD card). So outside of space... does this also help performance? What is the main benefits for having your apps on the SD card?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] icm714:
it frees up space on your internal doesnt make it faster and your internal goes down cause it still uses it for saves, data, etc
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mjodotcom:
Few questions besides the recovery image upgrade question (how to do it?). I noticed pretty short battery life and it looks like the largest drain on my battery is the cell standby which is at 57% - is this normal? Also, I just upgraded to the latest version of Google Maps and I saw that multi touch isn't working - is it expected to be enabled? Finally, is there any way I can sync just the "my contacts" from gmail and not everything? On 1.5 you could go into the manage groups settings and turn off all google contacts so you only got the stuff in my contacts but I don't see that option avaliable now. Thanks for the help!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] icm714:
did you goto menu > wallpapers > LWP ??
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jonesdana:
Did you install the livewallpaperspicker.apk? If so then you are good, except for the fact that you also need to load home switcher from the market. You see... Live wallpapers do not work in HTC Sense "home" mode. You hace to operate in standard "home" mode by switching via the home switcher and then you will see your active live wallpapers working.

I prefer sense over live wallpaper, but also have it loaded on my phone to show off whenever someone wants to see it. With home switcher you can jump back and forth in a matter of seconds.

Hope this helps?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] schizopunk:
I like it cause you can have a ton more apps installed (depending on your SD Card's size), but I love it cause I'm used to my iPod Touch and having tons of apps now I can do the same on my Hero... its hard to do it without it cause of the limited space on the device.

Performance wise, having more free space on your phone can speed up your device some as well, so thats nice too.

Hope this helps.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DarkPhoenix:
Ok so I forgot to check the alarm. I can also confirm that it is not working.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wjason:
I did this recently. Here is a link to get you started.:)

[Hero CDMA Android Development] smw6180:
It actually CAN increase the speed of your phone by freeing up internal memory for processing. The more free ram you have, the more apps you can work with more quickly.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dcdave63:
Above and beyond the issues others have noticed, I have noticed that the Sync Widget is missing, and that the Android keyboard as well as the Swype keyboards both FC when you attempt to change to them in the Input Method.

For the sync issues for Facebook, I go into Menu>Settings>Accounts & Sync>Facebook for HTC Sense and deselect Sync Live Feed. That's the part of the sync process that seems to run constantly and never quits, which is why the sync icon never goes away and my battery was constantly draining. I have also noticed that the Gmail Groups in People (Favorites, VIP, etc...) never appears, so I am assuming that there is an issue with that part of the syncing as well. Although that part of the process does seem to stop, it just not write that information onto the phone. I think all of the sync issues relate to permissions, but that is just a guess on my part.

Everything else seems to work great. Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kshelton:
I have the following options, HTC wallpapers, photos, wallpaper gallery, wallpapers

Yeah I still can't see the live wallpapers I downloaded.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] icm714:
are you still on the sense home screen if you are goto menu>app> app mgmt > and clear the default and use home not sense should work im flashing this rom now to verify
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jonesdana:
The only option i see is "contacts" I don't see the other features... any idea why I am not getting the same option as you?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dametzg:
Are you sure that's right? I was under the impression that A2SD only frees up internal storage, which is completely different than RAM.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] icm714:
really from what i have read from other rom dev it doesnt do anything lol

but it makes sense sweet you learn something new everyday
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kshelton:
No I have tried using home, panda home, nexus launcher. Maybe it just didn't flash right for some reason.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ElAguila:
This seems like a simple question but there is something that I can find. How do you disable the phone from dialing a 1 before the number?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] icm714:
yeah dont dial the one lol no does it make a difference if the one is there or not ( not trying to sound like and ass) i thought it doesnt matter and if im correct there should be an option in the settings that allows for prefixes it might be in there cause i know you can set it up that the phone dials *86 every time or what ever the block code is
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NewYorkLaw:

Facebook for HTC sync issue

I had the same issues with Facebook for HTC not syncing, i fixed by setting up the Facebook setting in Accounts and Sync. after i accepted the terms and signed in, my Facebook for HTC started syncing fine.

can anyone else confirm this?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Mistamike17:
Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > HTC Sense > Clear Default > Hit Home Button > Select Check Box to Set Default > Select Home

Voila. You have no more HTC Sense. You can also go back by following the same process and clearing the default on "Home" if you want to re-enable HTC Sense.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Mistamike17:
I can't get Facebook to work in Accounts and Sync. When I select it, it highlights and then does nothing. The only Facebook that works for me in Accounts and Sync is Facebook for HTC Sense.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NewYorkLaw:
+1 - no "sync live feeds" option for me, either.

I got the same thing going to try after a reboot

**EDIT**

No go on the reboot, oh well I'll wait and hope the updates fixes it
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Thomas1218:
Anyone figured out how to fix the market. All of my downloads sit at starting download and dont do anything.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bwshockley:
Have you rebooted since first boot? If no...do so at least once and try again.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] regaw_leinad:
When I went to Settings > Sound and Display to change my ringtone, I clicked on Volume, turned it up, and my phone started going really slow, and continued to play until i pulled the bat. anyone else?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ElAguila:
Does anyone else notice this. On some items like if I got the People app and press menu and select View, the options by the checkbox can't be seen until i press them . For example I can't see Google Contacts, Facebook Contacts, Phone, etc. If I press on it then the text is visible otherwise it is black.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] nebenezer:
holy crap,

I'm running a bugreport right now, first time. I don't know how you guys find anything in these reports, they are enormous.

Had some trouble in the shell, I know you are hard at it but I hope you don't lose sleep trying to straighten this up tonight.

*edit- I guess it's not as big as I thought. Is all the text whizzing by the bugreport running?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ElAguila:
A couple of protected apps are gone and I am not sure how to get them. Primarily weatherbug elite. When I search it no longer shows up. Nand back to the eris based rom and it is back in the market.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
Protected apps aren't working apparently.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bwshockley:
Actually, now that I think about it, upon first boot the NFL Live Widget was working....at least showing data. So, I may have had NFL since the start...but I didn't check it until after a reboot.

Sorry I don't have much more information for you. I just wiped and flashed from DC v1.0 to this. Well, Nandroid, then wipe then flash.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
Should mention that it will probably work in the next version. I'm working on it now.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
This is absolutely EPIC! Damage I don't know how you pull it off but you are constantly amazing me! I can't wait to see where you take this. Thank you a million times over. Your work is the best and we all appreciate it.

Search for livewallpaperspicker.apk on these forums and install it. That's why you're missing the live wallpaper option.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Moguledyouth:
Ok I've tried searching through this thread, it's my understanding that Apps 2 SD does not work on this Rom without some update from Darch? if this is the case could someone please post the required update with a clear description. Thanks.

Facebook for HTC sync issue

Try logging into the Facebook App itself and see if that helps. my sync icon sat there forever, as soon as i logged into the facebook app i went to accounts and synced all and it did sync my FB contacts

I wonder why you cant sign in thru the Facebook in Accounts & Sync
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aauussttiinn88:
yea ive come to the conclusion that these 2.1 roms are like the butler in that movie mr.deeds...the face book sync wont work for a minute then you let it sit and bam "vedy vedy sneaky"
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dcdave63:
I don't think its the Facebook app, its only the Live Feed portion which updates the FriendStream app/widget which locks up.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] schizopunk:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
a2sd should work automagically with that update i posted. if you were to look in the ramdisk of this rom's boot.img you'd see in the init.rc that it already has services looking for a2sd, but the issue is the a2sd script isn't in the rom. My update puts the a2sd script in the proper path onto this rom making it work. if you guys want me to post a third time, here you go. lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Mistamike17:
Funny that you mention that. FriendStream isn't working as well.

EDIT: It seems that FriendStream isn't in R2, but it was in R1.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aauussttiinn88:

[: not found

There's no /system/sd/app either.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
the issue with friendstream, after investigating a bit is that the opensense plugin isn't in this rom. I can try to fix it if you guys want it

alls im sayin is thats my PRI and i have none of the issues that people are having the sprint issue alarm clock nothing so i dunno its a weird thing i cant figure out why thats happenign to people but its good they figured out a way to revert it cause im wondering if it will mess anything up when the real sprint 2.1 comes out

Quick question...

Will using the self-service app to update the profile help any of the issues? What exactly does that option do?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kkruse:
Shrug I've been down that road....

Question is, is your a2sd partition ext2,ext3 or ext4?

This is my only frustration atm ;D otherwise tho thanks for all your great work.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jakejm79:
OK so after a night of tweaking, wiping, pushing, pulling, flashing and downloading, I have it basically like I want (Espresso, A2SD, Standard Taskbar, etc). Great job to all involved.

Anyway here is what I did (in case anyone else wants to know).

1. Full wipe of data, Dalvik and ext

2. Flash DC2.0r2

3. Provision VVM

4. Flash DCTrev (modded version with a2sd and memkiller), no wipe

5. Flash the taskbar/clear notification zip by regaw_leinad

6. Set up phone, disable Sync Live Feed for FB for HTC

7. Pushed Sprint Apps and Wifi Tether back to phone (from DC2.0r1)

8. Pulled apps I didnt want

Also before this all started I ##786# to reset my PRI.

I now have everything working (including a2sd which worked automatically) with no 100% awake time, while sleeping last night phone was awake for less than 10mins with almost 6 hours of up time. Battery barely dropped 10%. FB contacts (pictures and contact info) synced fine, Google contacts synced fine. Only problems I have are the ones already noted:

1. Protected apps - the only issue for me, but I can normally source them elsewhere and push them.

2. LED notification - not a big deal (tho worked for missed call, just not SMS or email), SMS Popup takes care of that for SMS/MMS

3. Trackball doesn't light up - Is this even worth mentioning

4. Alarm clock - mine doesnt go off either, not a big deal, i have never used it, curiously tho do reminders in the calender work?

5. Black background and text on people>view.

So that is a total of 5 issues, but a lot more than the stock update would offer (I dont see sprint offering a2sd, wifi tether, etc) on there update.

Great job to everyone involved.

Guys please forgive me for not going through 181 pages, but can someone tell me what isn't working on this rom? My PRI is 1.70_003

Again sorry guy, it's not that im being lazy, but I'm leaving for a few days in an hour and would love to just do it if everything is working.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aauussttiinn88:
i always skip all that at first boot then let it load up then reboot and log in that always works for me
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mthanded:
I suggest you wait on the rom. If you are gonna be gone for a while and are about to leave then just get it when you come back. Quite a few things don't work out of the box and will take some tweaking.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smw6180:
Appears to have worked. I assume e2fsck being missing is no big deal? (How often does android fsck? Probably never? :)

# a2sd

a2sd

I may have spoken too soon about it working. I appear to be stuck at the 'quietly brilliant' screen. I'll give it a few more minutes and then reflash it.
