LETS STAY ON TOPIC...

How could anyone read through 2,000+ measssges. How about someone that keeps complaining go through and make a list of everything that is wrong and then shoot it over to Damage and then he will have a nice easy way to see what problems people are having. Actually, he doesn't even need to help anyone out. This is all done on his own time. Learn how to make your own and then you won't have to rely on others. I am learning all the ropes and I will say that it isn't the easiest. It's not just making the ROM, it's diagnosing, troubleshooting, testing.

Props goes to any one that can do this.

EDIT:I was thinking of using the largest font and taking up a whole page.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] derekstory:
yes , touch it
[Hero CDMA Android Development] subliminalurge:
That's a band-aid, not a fix.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] coderli:
Way to go people for complaining about useless stuff (first page, title, etc), all this time Damageless could have spent on working on fixes for the ROM. It's been 4 days and Damageless has spent most of his time responding and apologizing to most of you. Please stop complaining and such search the thread for fixes. That is how I have been doing and never made a post. I've been reading threads about fixes since I first rooted and flash my Hero. I'd never thought I have to make a post because most of the problems I run to I'm sure someone else may have too and someone may already have posted a fix for it that is why I do searches and read for fixes instead.

Damageless you've done an awesome job especially for providing the first leak ROM from Sprint that has Visual Voice Mail working. Continue on with the great work and don't get discourage by the people how complains about things that does not need to be concern with. I shall be waiting patiently for your next release of this ROM.

Thanks to many of you who have provided fixes for this ROM during Damageless's absent.

Also as someone stated earlier on the thread, RUU back to 1.56... then do the reset using your MSL (after the reboot it will reactivate your phone with Sprint, I noticed this after doing a second time this way just in case as the first time I did from DCv2.0), update PRL and profile then root and flash to DCv2.0r2 most of your problem should be fixed there. I've been using it as daily ROM since release 2. Hope this little info help some of you with some of the issues you maybe having. I don't have alarm issue, battery problem, Google sign in, random data disconnect, facebook sync, etc.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] unCoRrUpTeD:
take a look at all the files and maybe do a theme for us.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mountaindont:
Update?

Unannounced?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] getut:
Can someone help me.

I did the *#*#4636#*#* thing and now I have a contstant lower case r over the top of a backslash and a dot on the top of the screen. What does it mean and how do I get rid of it?

Searching on radio is not much help because there are so many posts. What radio am I supposed to be running with this ROM? I'm guessing that is the baseband version and I am at 2.41.05.02.03.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] derekstory:
you asked for a solution not a fix.

Good Afternoon.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] unCoRrUpTeD:
Don't know about the first. You have Flipz radio. I had that one on, but in the mix of all the PRI stuff I went back to stock. It is an updated Radio, but I don't think it is from Sprint
[Hero CDMA Android Development] CharlyDigital:
ha ha ha ha nice!!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tyrnight:
didnt do anything...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PRGUY85:
So did SuperUser.apk work?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PlagaDeRock:
try just pushing this.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ElAguila:
I flashed the superuser zip and it worked for me.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nimitz87:
probably causes its loaded with all sprints bloatware, damage said he is working on a slimmed down/stream lined version which I'm sure will be coming soon.

Chad
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chfields:
Just woke up and find I have no DATA connection at all....wifi still doesn't work, bluetooth works on my headset though and I can make and receive calls.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
now that would be a stupid thing to do before asking. how did damage get the sprint release? is this the final release that's coming and if so id like to know how he got his hands on it?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tyrnight:
Still nothing.. the app is there in the drawer.. but it doesnt do anything.. black screen..

and any app that requires SU doesnt ask for it..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
you can remove the bloatware yourself via abd still right?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] david279:
yep! 10 chars
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
if this is the final sprint release "leak" than why are people having soo many issues with it? like wifi and superuser, market not working? :(

has anybody tried the themes that worked for damage v1 on this yet?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nimitz87:
I'm sure you can, I have yet to flash this v2.0 as I'm sure another one is coming shortly and the 1.1v5 is working very well at the moment.

Chad
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PlagaDeRock:
Sounds like its missing more permissions maybe busybox?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PRGUY85:
Flashing Superuser.zip did not correct Wifi.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] grifforama:
I have quite a few issues with this ROM

Keyboard lag

Unable to connect to WiFi

Facebook widget never syncs.

Anyone git similar ?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nimitz87:
damageless said that he forgot some things, everything will work with this ROM as its the real deal...that is what happens when you release at 2:30am to meet the demand of all of us;)

Chad
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
well if visual voicemail works, ill use it after the bugs get worked out. id have to assume this is a leaked build he got from sprint somehow and that's why there are still issues with it...hence why sprint hasn't released it yet. ill flash once everything is 100%. at least we know as of now we can still root with 2.1.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
thanks i missed that. ill wait for his optimized version and install. so are we sure this is the final 2.1 build?

also does this come with the small 4 meter signal like in damage v1?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nimitz87:
nope your the first.

congrats.

Chad
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PlagaDeRock:
My first flash was really messed up like that. What I did was rebooted into recovery wiped everything again reflashed then fixed uid mismatches and rebooted. It seemed to sync a little better. But I didn't mess with the wifi it just ran a bit smoother over all and it was syncing right again.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] subliminalurge:
You claimed your phone was 100%, which means it should require no solutions, fixes, workarounds, or band-aids.

Good Afternoon.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] derekstory:
Please stop using that quote with my name in it. I DID NOT POST THAT....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
Update coming tonight.

I will also update the thread a little more tonight and a little better of a clean-up.

I hope everyone knows that every ROM is a work in progress and that there are so many situations on your phone that I could not possibly test them all.

The one single problem is with the People app showing on black. Everything else has a work-around, which I realize means that I need to update a few things. That will be tonight.

Also making some optimizations to it. I know you complainers will have more to complain about, but I'll do it anyways.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] joetemp75:
Thanks damage
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aauussttiinn88:
GOOD LOOKS DAMAGE do ya thang boi
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Rakeesh_j:
Just wondering (not a complaint at all) have you been able to identify what causes some apps to see android.hardware.camera as not available? It only seems to happen with this particular rom.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DanWalker:
Thanks for all your hard work man, you really a trooper. It's a shame you can't have your own little forum type setup where you can block the people that don't appreciate all you do for us.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DanWalker:
Here's something I haven't seen mentioned anywhere yet, in any of the 2.1 threads...you guys notice that deleting text messages is now instant!? That's frickin' awesome, maybe Sprint was listening a little.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jtheking:
I get this too
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chfields:
There are far more people who appreciate the efforts you put out, than there are complainers. Please don't let these people discourage you from the great work you are doing!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sfox:
Just a quick update, did a factory reset on the phone last night. No flashing anything, no deleting anything, nothing adb whatever (way over my head stuff)...and the ROM works better than ever. Alarm works, data connection errors have disappeared, VVM working finally....only thing is apps that are gone, but nothing I can't live without.

HUGE PROPS to Damage for this, can't wait to see the next version.

I don't post much on forums since I'm mainly on here for interest and learning new things about what I can do with my phone. I can research and look through pages myself. That said, I felt the need to give you and all the other Dev's a huge thank you for your time and dedication. I know this is off topic, but somewhere along the lines some people on here seem to have forgotten that you Dev's do what you do and share it with all of us with hardly any benefit whatsoever. How many of the complainers on here have reasonably contributed to anything beyond voicing there feeling about a ROM with issues? Frankly, my phone runs 1000% better rooted than it did on a stock ROM.

Damageless, thanks for your dedication and work. I truly appreciate the efforts by you and all the Dev's. It's rare to find anyone these days that uses their time to make something better for others without being asked and with no guaranteed compensation. Thank you.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mergethereat:
has anyone else received this error when trying the apps2sd fix

sysct1: /ect/sysct1.conf: No such file or directory

I have already flashed the zip file for the a2sd fix, fixed mismatch UID's, and rebooted a few times and I still get that message after entering the commands in adb
[Hero CDMA Android Development] david279:
Did you do this first..

adb remount

adb shell

busybox --install /system/xbin

mkdir /system/sd

I didn't even know I was registered here, but glanced up and noticed I was logged in, so I figure I might as well note my complai-- thanks and anticipation as well. I loaded DC1 on my Hero back when you first released it, and fell in love. I went to New York a few days later, however, and realized I was without a hard line internet connection for a week and my phone's battery was dying after 4-5 hours of moderate use! I know there were workarounds, but I didn't have the time to play around with it so I flashed back to Pancake. I just got back from NY and I can now afford the time to play around with the newer ROMs, but I will wait until you release r3 tonight. Oh, but yeah, thanks a lot for all the hard work. You too flipz, toast, and others involved in the process!

Edit: I've been trying to follow the thread from my phone, and I did a few quick searches on the matter, but I just want to confirm that you have to apply the GSM Auto PRL workaround after every reboot, right? There's no script or app or fix out right now that accomplishes this for you?

PS: My nick is a little embarrassing on a dev forum like this, but it's an old old inside joke that stuck with me and, well, I guess I used it out of habit. Also, I'm a noob.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] amot:
I just updated to TrevE FULL mod and I can't login to my google account....

I really need this because it has all my contacts, please help...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
I wouldn't say I don't care, I just realized that some people were having problems, which is understandable because I cannot test every situation and every application and everything. I originally thought this ROM was fully functioning which is why I put it on the first page as having no problems. I did called it that prematurely, and I will remedy that quickly. Somebody called me out on it and I fixed it, so hopefully now there isn't anything to complain about. I realize that I should have made absolutely sure before I made that claim, but I will put out a version tonight that will hopefully fix everything so that we don't get any problems.

I have to say though, not very happy with how your post was worded though. Let's keep that crap out.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mergethereat:
No. I thought that was supposed to be done after the flash.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mjodotcom:
Can't wait for the update Damage =) Will this upgrade require a full wipe? Thanks so much for your hard work.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] josh_131:
Ok I know I am new to this. I have lurked long enough.

Here is what I have done to resolve the Facebook and Alarm issues.

Alarm- As simple as removing the Sprint _App_Updater, however, I am not sure what this does? Can anyone tell me what this .apk does exactly?

(removed Sprint NFL while I was there since there won't be an NFL Sprint app in the future due to the contract not being renewed)

Permanent Sync issue- I removed the current htcfacebook.apk and replaced it with the htcfacebook.apk that was posted earlier in this thread. I was disappointed when none of my contacts were showing up as linked. I waited and few hours and realized this wasn't going to happen.

Finally I decided to go back and install the original .apk and reboot. It appeared as no luck, however, about twelve hours later all my contacts are linked and it doesn't appear to be going in to Sync more than it should.

Those are my two work arounds. I really haven't ran into anymore issues, other than the black on black in contacts when trying to link contacts and friends.

Great ROM to work with KUDOS TO DAMAGE!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] watzone69:
Everyone see that nice little exclamation point inside the red triangle in the upper right corner of every post? That's to report offensive language and behavior. Let's use it, I just did!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Rakeesh_j:
Has anybody found any interim workarounds for the error 17 you get when trying to run the USAA app or Yelp? For some reason both apps detect android.hardware.camera as an unavailable feature with this rom.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] getut:
Ok.. I'll post my q one more time with a graphic. I don't think anyone knows what I was talking about just explaining it.

After I did the *#*#4636#*#* thing I wound up with the following r over a dot symbol on the top. It does not go away with a reboot. See my attached picture. What does it mean and how do I get rid of it?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Darkshneider:
Thats the silent icon.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rlaxton:
I don't see it, can you draw an arrow to it?:confused:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] getut:
Thats weird because it rings when its called.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DanWalker:
it's the music note with a slash...lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aplusmiami:
Above works like a CHAMP! Just verified. All is well. Also do the PRL fix posted in the sticky or no NFL, TV and I even think some of the apps will not be available to you.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Rakeesh_j:
You mean the musical note with a slash through it?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dwertz:
I agree with damage. I had the PRI that came from a different ROM and could not connect to Sprint. His rom did not create the issues I had but damage took his unpaid time to try and help everyone one to get it resolve. I know MrTip found the fix, but damage still supported this rom. He could have easily said, "here is a Final rom, no support, go nuts". Just remember, there are two roms out that people dont have to complain about and its version 1.29.651.1 and version 1.56 and these are OEM roms and still have bugs.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rjj1976:
Damageless, There is still some kind of problem with some paid apps. I have a couple that will not show up and have confirmed by others that thought all apps were showing but when I have them look for Golfcard or the paid version of IP CAM Viewer they don't see them either. I have tried all the tricks but they won't show up. JUST FYI.

Thanks for your work.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Revverok:
I have asked this question a couple times and searching this thread only results in my own posts.

I cannot get APNdroid to work, I activate it and nothing happens, I still get a connection. Can someone please verify this or atleast tell me APNdroid is working for them? I have never been able to get it to work with any version of DC.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rlaxton:
I know huh? "r over a dot symbol" didn't make sense to me at first :o
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mkhopper:
Did a search through the thread but didn't see anything like this.

I just now flashed up from Fresh v1.0. I hadn't updated the radio or anything and my PRL was good, so updating was a snap. Wipe data, wipe cache, install upgrade, reboot, good to go. Haven't seen a single issue so far in terms of functionality.

One thing I do have a question about is...

Before updating, I used Astro to make a backup of all my currently installed apps.

After the update was complete, I used the Market to reinstall Astro and from there, started to reinstall apps from the backup folder on the SD card.

This all works perfectly, but later when launching the Market app and choosing the Download tab, the Market doesn't recognize that I've reinstalled a number of apps, so it's not doing any sort of version comparison to see if there are updates available.

I'm guessing this was due to blowing out the cache prior to updating, but is there any way to let the Market know I've reinstalled apps manually, so that it will start doing the version checking again?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mountaindont:
Looking forward to the update. Just a few questions...

The first one is probably stupid, as an update implies fixes, but I assume the update will encorporate all the fixes/workarounds in it?

The second being; will this update come with the trackball fix? Something Im truely looking forward too.

The third being; will you have enough time to post a full changelog? I know you said youd be tweaking your OP, but a indepth changelog would be great; help avoid future clutter and more posts of "this still doesnt work..."

Id also like to point out the elephant in the room also. Itd prolly be best if someone on the first page could edit their post with all the fixes in one place (assuming the update doesnt take care of them all) to once again, avoid clutter.

Eta on the update?

Thanks for all the hard work damage. All the "nut huggers" and "d!ck riders" dont do you justice.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] timezone12:
some of the fixes i used to make this a better rom for ME

1 bloat ware in rom sprint crap dl root explorer and delete from with in phone no command lines to type picked up 20 mb much faster startup

2 black screen problem change background this actually worked without problem or install expresso theme (can't remember who made this but thanks)

3 quickboot searched my referance notes problem solved. when i see a fix that is 100% working i copy it to a notepad and keep it on desktop no need to search all the time

4 speeding up the phone well i think it works dl cachemate set it to automatically clear cache system internet all of it no lag for me

just a few hope this helps someone
[Hero CDMA Android Development] brennen.exe:
Speaking of, if anyone anywhere in this thread did this with their post Damage could just link to it from the OP. "Known Bugs / Fixes Here: <insert link to single post>" sort of thing...

Thanks for that! I think it'll be a great resource and make things easier all around, both for those having problems and those working on fixing them.

Just ran into wierd issue...I use groups all the time for work, to do mass emails and sms messages and when I went into my group lists, they had that wierd black background issue...then, when I sent the text it returned an error? Anyone have any ideas?

(sorry if this has been asked before, tried a search but didn't see anything exactly right) :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] diordnahero:
Excellent ROM!

This is the real deal.

I did the market fix and can get the barcode scanner but can't get allpoint atm locator. Can someone else see if they can get that? I have a second hero and it is installed on the 1.5 version. Where do the protected apps install to? I can't seem to find it to pull it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hooover:
So, I load everything and boom no soft keyboard for anything....Wiped reloaded same issue....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MrTrip:
Everybody needs to take a step back and relax.

Damageless, I appreciate all the work you have done. I really really do. I'm proud to say that your rom will most likely always be the one I run. I have had very little issues, and all the issues I have had I have found a work around.

Now a few things I'd like to bring up is that everybody telling other people "search the thread"...well, some people can't. I needed an adb command to manually launch the ##786#, you tell me what I search for there?

I tried adb, nope too short, I tried ##786#, nope couldn't find it that way either. I had to dig through 40 pages to find the answer.

People need to start posting tags in their posts so we can easily find a fix such as

Manual PRI update command

That would find the post quickly, and if you are really being lazy and telling the poster "search" you can say "search for manual pri update command" and bam! They will find the post they need and easily fix the problem they are having.

I hate to say this, but this should really be moved off to a private beta until we have a ROM with at least Market fixed and alarm clocks fixed out of the box. It would keep a lot of the whiners at bay and allow damage to focus on other fixes, or even his wedding coming up? I'd be happy to keep a public beta in line and post as many change logs and bug fixes as I could. I really wish I knew how to apply changes and push updates out as a rom. I have made a lot of changes to my phone and it works perfect. Alarm, Market, everything works flawless.

I can't tell you how I did it because It was a collection of fixes around the forum and mostly in the thread, but it just decided to work for me.

damageless let me know if you need ANYTHING at all, I'd be glad to help you in any way possible. Just drop me a PM if you need anything.

Everybody, back up, enjoy what you have, wait for updates.

Flooding the thread with "IT DOESN'T WORK" and "THIS ROM ISN'T 100%" is NOT productive.

Thanks.
