I had a2sd working with 2.0r2, but when I wipe(factory reset+EXT) before upgrading to 2.0r3.2(2), my phone still hangs for over 20 minutes on the Simply Brilliant boot screen.

To my knowledge, my memory card is properly partitioned because it was working with 2.0r2.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jackal424:
Question for you gurus.

Will wiping SD card actually do anything? I'm missing HTC Calendar and the tether app.

Furthermore, I tried wiping ext card but i get an error. Anyone know why?

Should I just repartition?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hoopsdavis:
I actually like the new keyboard, I really don't see a difference with it other than the speak to search option.

Keep it
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaybob413:
My vote is to keep it in. The voice recognition was the only reason I used the stock android version. It is great for quick SMS usage. I know I can certainly talk faster than I can type, and if you make an effort to speak clearly, the speech to text translation is quite good.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jerry43812:
maybe i did notice that. I just got swype last night and it is the hottest **** to hit my phone yet! Aside from DC 2.0r3 though :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jerry43812:
oh hell no! I never knew it did that!

Still wet behind the ears ;)

[Hero CDMA Android Development] marcusva79:
Is there any easier way to get the protected apps in the market? I under stand you have use the command prompt. But I am not really familiar with it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sully9663:
Ant chance someone can mirror the downloads. My work blocks the current host.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hoopsdavis:
How did you get FriendSteam to work?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dfbonney:
I'm iffy on it.

Its not terrible just differrent.

Also, just confirming LED is still not blinking when we get sms/mms. That was to be expected right?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] doojer:
I have not tried it on the new version, but on the last one (the original D2) all you had to do was make a nandriod backup of D2, wipe and flash D1, go to market and download a couple protected apps, wipe and restore your D2 nandroid backup. Assuming it's probably the same with D2r3.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
Animal7296, you need to create an app and app-private directory on your SD card. Do this by going into adb shell and use the following commands:

mkdir /system/sd/app

mkdir /system/sd/app-private

chmod 771 /system/sd/app

chmod 771 /system/sd/app-private
[Hero CDMA Android Development] doojer:
On that note, if anyone does get protected apps working on D2r3, if you could check and see if Yelp will install now, that'd be great. I'm doubting it does, since it seems to be incompatible with the Sprint build... but it's the only reason I'd go through the hassle of getting back protected apps.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jerry43812:
I will download, and reupload to one of my domains so you are able to download it, block free. Wait for the message from me!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] revlayle:
i did that - now i get notification that i have a voice mail but VVM will not download it - that is my problem :)

thanks, anyways
[Hero CDMA Android Development] subliminalurge:
I thought dc 1.0 was an eris based rom? Won't those steps also require doing the PRI fix?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abcdfv:
Not if you have a nandroid of v1
[Hero CDMA Android Development] revlayle:
+1 on that

I use the voice to text frequently when driving and need to send a quick message - as long as i talk clearly (as you said) i have to fix few errors before sending
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cirehawk:
Well I just started setting things back up, but so far the speed seems really good.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] subliminalurge:
Ah, cool. I hadn't tried flashing v1 since I fixed my PRI, but when I restored a 1.1 backup, the PRI had reverted to one of the bad ones immediately on bootup.

I'll give this a try. (Stuck in a roaming area for a few days, don't want to get the PRI hosed again.)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] doojer:
FYI, using the nandroid backup of D1 did not work for me. I had to wipe and re-flash D1 and then nandroid to D2. I did not have a PRI issue, but I understand your concern.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] trevolutionary:
Pushed the apk from the thread into /system/app while running version r2 and it never showed up, however after wiping and flashing to r3 (without A2SD) I was able to add the widget and it worked.

Wish I had a more specific fix, good luck!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bubbacs1:
OMG almost 400 pages of fixes and repairs.

Are there ANY roms for 2.1 that work with out having to duct tape them?

How can anyone say 100% when they aren't?

I can't make them, but with all due respect calling something 100% and then expecting peeps to fix for 3 more hours, not the way you would expect a product.

Sorry If I offended anyone, but 400 pages and still having problems?

Thanks,

Bubba.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] animal7296:
Thank you Damage. Your the best.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] doojer:
IMO, this is the best one out there and it works pretty damn good. If you aren't happy with this option, you can always wait until Sprint releases an "official" update. Nobody is making you flash dev ROMs.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chfields:
Would you like a little cheese with that whine?????
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jeb0921:
No were does it say that it is 100% perfect. if you don't want to play, then go away. No one is forcing anyone to do anything. This is a major effort to get thing running. The issues are few and fixable. Stop *****ing...:(:(:mad::mad::mad:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
Dude, look at my first post. I didn't call it 100%.

Second of all, I have had different releases since then. I just released another version that incorporates apps2sd, but it has to be set up correctly.

Besides this, this is fully functioning from right off the bat. There are two problems, which are that protected apps don't show without a workaround and that the contacts background is black, which I am working on.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sporkman:
you should tray Breezy rom its pretty damn good
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jerry43812:
it took them years of testing and fine tuning to put out porsches, bugatti, ferrari, etc. what makes you think that a leaked *test* rom is any different? Granted it's not a million dollar car, but same concept honey.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bubbacs1:
Nah I don't drink so the cheese would go to waste waitin on the wine. :cool:

But I did say in my post...with ALL due respect.

And I did say SORRY if I offended anyone.

Taking the praise along with the Criticism should be ok....no? :confused:

Thanks,

Bubba.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cirehawk:
No doubt that it was something I did wrong, but this is what I did last night.

1. I flashed your latest rom without changing my partitioning and it booted up fine.

2. Booted into recovery and went into the partitioning section. First it recommended a swap partition size of 32mb, which I changed to 64mb. Then it suggested an ext2 partition size of 512mb, which I changed to 1gb (1024mb). It then completed partitioning.

3. Rebooted and stayed at quietly brilliant screen for nearly half an hour.

4. Pulled battery, booted into recovery, turned on temp usb storage, copied rom back to sd and flashed again. Again, it stayed at the quietly brilliant screen for nearly half an hour.

So my question is, where did I go wrong with partitioning? I pretty much went along with the script.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] trevolutionary:
I think this just shows the communities enthusiasm of having such an amazing ROM and how everyone's idea of the "perfect" ROM is different.

Thanks Damage for focusing on the core elements and letting others add the "fluff".
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jeb0921:
Sorry if we sound harsh, but we have been through a few bouts of Trolls and jerks, so we are a bit touchy and don't want to see it start again.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jerry43812:
The bad stands out 10x, if not 100x, more than the good does. Thats the same with anything in life. You can do 100 good things, and as soon as you **** up the whole world is chomping at your heels.

That's why yall need to smoke a bowl before *****ing about a ROM that someone puts dozens, if not hundreds, of hours into for your asses for free. Either fix what doesn't work on your phone, or ruu it and find someone else to disrespect.

I'd have quit by now if it was me.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] watzone69:

Doesn't "with all due respect" basically mean the opposite?

Stupid question: Does ADB not work on 64bit windows?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bubbacs1:

Lost my ID and pass from more than 4 years ago when the TiLt was bein hacked and cracked.

Thanks Again,

[Hero CDMA Android Development] michd43:
Ok, everything is running smooth until I noticed the black screen of death in contacts. Any fix? Or should I wipe and reinstall?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bubbacs1:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] watzone69:
S'all good. Welcome back.

Yes, there's work to be done (for some of us) to get this going but it's worth it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] amot:
I get the same thing, seems like it was NOT fixed in the current release.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
Actually working on this (black on contact background).

Hoping to have it fixed soon. I apologize for not having it ready in this release.

When I do fix it, I will post the apk up on the front page and you can just push it using adb. Will be super easy. No wipe necessary.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stephen240:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jye75:
Anyone post up a video of the obvious differences in 2.1 compared to 1.5? Basically to show what I'm missing by not rooting and installing this.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] amot:

Is there anyway to get a clear lock screen and also change the BOTTOM dock to something like FRESH had. I think thats called espresso?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] warmachine69:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] BobbyMac3952:
Hmm, had it working on my old laptop, but cant get it to work on the win7 64bit new one. Must be operator error. Thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ghuqu:
It took me a minute to get ADB figured out on 64bit Win7...it is possible.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jackal424:
going back to 2.0 R2....

I have reflashed 4 times now after wiping and no HTC Calendar. Furthermore, I get the HTC Clock at every other flash.

It's a bit annoying. Oh well. Wait for more stable build install.

I really wish we had a support thread. I tried posting in here, but it just gets flown by other threads.

Should seriosly think about Q/A forum and Error Forum.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] phonetec:
dude, dont wipe it, just go into settings, applications, manage applications find HTC sense and "clear data" then u will have all widgets
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aggie6600:
Protected App?

Any one else getting protected apps to work in this release? I tried the fix posted about 3000 pages ago, but it doesn't work for me. I can't find Shop Savvy, Pure Calendar Agenda and some other apps I purchased.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
You should try to redownload. It could be something messed up in the download. I've seen it before.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] celith:
Damage, you are a genius.

A2SD issue can be fixed using the above commands.

What I did (worth noting, this is my first use of A2SD):

Backup everything, including SD card (duh)

Reboot to recovery

Partition SD card (64 swap, 768 Ext)

Upgrade Ext2 to Ext3 (probably not necessary, but I like journaling file systems)

Wipe mem, dalvik, ext

Flash 2.0r3(2)

Reboot

System sticks at HTC screen, logcat stops

adb shell and make the directories as described above

Reboot

Success

Just throwing it out there.

And, FWIW, the HTC calendar widget is showing up on mine.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] michd43:
If anyone wants the Espresso theme... Regaw_leinad has it working on his rom. Just download the Espresso Only zip and push it. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6016302&postcount=1
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jackal424:
Thanks man. Appreciate it. This is the type of support I'm talking about. Damageless should consider putting your suggestion in OP.

After doign this, I did get the HTC Clock back. But the damn HTC Calendar has been gone since the first flash. I see the android calendar but not the HTC. Do you have the HTC Calendar installed?

someone else said try re-downloading....that'll be the next thing...

i really want the HTC Calendar if I'm sticking with this ROM. It was there is DC 2.0 R2, dont know why it doesnt show up this time after 4 flashes.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rjj1976:
I had to do the clear on HTC sense to get the clock back but I didn't have the problem with the calendar.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cirehawk:
Cool. So you're saying that even though the phone is hung up at the HTC screen, you can still talk to the phone through adb? If so, awesome. I will give it a shot later.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sully9663:
Thank you very much.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] celith:
Yeah, I was a little surprised at that myself, but it worked.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Dan330:
well i am guessing you know your phone and 1.5 pretty good... so no need for that vid.. :rolleyes:

but if you go to youtube and search for 2.1 eris.. you can find some vids.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jackal424:
Okay. Finally I got my stuff resolved. Thanks man again...100 times....

Just so there is a closure. I was missing the following two widgets:

1) HTC Clock

2) HTC Calendar

As phonetec suggested, I cleared date for HTC Calendar app and HTC Sense. After doing that, both widgets showed up.

Thakns a bunch. Should maybe put this finding by phonetec in the OP.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
You can get into adb anytime no matter what after the initial boot (before the bootsound basically), regardless of it boots up or not.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] amot:
I had my clock but not my calendar, when I cleared the DATA for HTC SENSE, I lost both the Calendar and Clock...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] revlayle:
I hate to ask this, as it has been asked so many times (but finding the answer has eluded me with search). Where are people who are using friendstream finding the apk? Are they using the one from DarchLegend or a different one that works with this build? I would love a copy as I found it to be a pretty nifty app.

Thanks

USAA app in DamageControl

For those curious, the USAA app still won't install on r3 (non-a2sd version) of the DamageControl ROM. Still getting error -17. I realize this may not be a specific issue with DamageControl, though i'm guess it possibly has something to do with the market being broken and the workaround (perhaps).

I like others use the app a lot and as such it's a requirement for me. I'm sticking with DamageControl V1 for now as it's awesome. Here's hoping that we can find a better fix for the market as doing the wipe/reinstall 1.0/restore is a bit of pain to test.

Thanks Damage for the great work.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] askwhy:
Actually, this info is floating around all over the forum. It has also been posted multiple times in this thread, and by different individuals (including myself). Usually, the thread blows by so quickly that people never see it. Sometimes, like when I posted it less than 12 hours ago, it seems to get ignored (ie: other posts on same page get responses from damage, but not the one where I quoted him, and offered this suggestion).

Anyways, I agree with you -- it does belong on the first page. Nobody needs to wipe to fix this.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] VinceOB:
This works, except you dont have to flash then wait for it to freeze. What I did was follow these steps then I adb shell into my phone and created the folders and chmod them like it was said too do. Then I just flashed the the DC2.0r3 and it booted...

[Hero CDMA Android Development] phishstics:
ran through this process, was able to boot with a2sd supposedly running. installed an app from the market (estrong file explorer), unmounted the sd card and removed from the phone. app still opens...wouldn't this mean a2sd is not working correctly?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rank78:
OK, I have 2 questions.

1. Just a clarification - does friendstream only work on sense? I'm running helixlauncher so i can run live wallpapers and i don't see it in widgets so i'm guessing thats why.

2. Sync issue - how do i see what is syncing and how do i stop it? My contacts have finished updating so thats not it. I set my facebook sync frequency to once a day. Weather is set to update every 3 hours. Do i simply hit 'cancel sync'? I'm just worried that hitting cancel will stop mail/facebook/weather from updating at all.

Thanks in advance. Still getting the -17 error when trying to install Yelp but otherwise this rom is running great. THANKS DAMAGELESS!

So, a2sd aside, for the most part everything is working on this rom out of the box except the People application? What about the CDMA auto (PRL) [battery] issue? Still required on every reboot?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] omair2005:
thanks for this..it worked for me. all the widgets including the calendar are showing up...trying clearing your htc sense cache from settings-application..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jerry43812:
GO and cancel the syncs, then there is a HtcFacebook.apk that you can put in your system/app folder that will stop the sync icon from sticking.

THey said they fixed it but mine stayed for all fo the 3 minutes i waited forit to go away after boot, so I pulled the one that came with 2.0r3 and pushed the one I have on my computer to the system/app folder, then when i rebooted and the sync icon appeared it went away after about 8 seconds.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] VinceOB:
My guess would be no...For the life of me I cant remember how to find out if apps2sd is on...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jerry43812:
Damageless, can you put my download mirrors on the OP for whoever has DL issues with 4shared? Theyre in my sig and will stay on the server till next release, in which i will add the new ones to the server. There were a few ppl with problems last ngiht but I wasnt about to stay up another hour after I waited for this release,. Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] revlayle:
Well, i see com.htc.FriendStreamWidget.apk - but that is just the widget - not the app. I think you have to have the full friend stream app to get it to work.

The widget loads on the home page, it just loads nothing and clicking the button to go to the friend stream app, of course, does nothing too as I do not have that.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cracker099:
I've seen a ton of battery fixes and a new r3 version. Does the r3 include those fixes? Which one has helped the most?

I have both the Widget file & the FriendStream .apk from DarchLegend & still nothing, whats even weirder is when I moved both files to system/app they disappeared.
