Seems to me everyone's mileage may vary.

I do not have a PRI issue (1.70_003), am on Damage Control v1, the Eris leak, and the only small issues I have are the google sign in, and seeing all facebook friends when texting. That's it. Other than that, my phone works perfectly. No su / wireless thether problems, can see protected apps, etc.

Fooled around with DC2.0r2 yesterday, and had issues galore. No protected apps, installed protected apps from backup, crashed the system / couldn't access 'remove applications' via settings (force close). Couldn't sync, horrible sluggishness, etc. Not blaming the ROM releaser. Personally, I'm more concerned that if this is what Sprint is about to release, I found it ironic that the Eris dump is working way better for me, than the release intended directly for the phone we have. Again, YMMV.

If I push the new HtcFacebook.apk but REMOVE Facebook.apk (b/c I use Bloo) will that fix the sync issue but still keep my contacts linked?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DirtyShroomz:
2 things.

1. I do all this from my phone, no comp, can someone make a zip for facebook sync?

2. My phone still shows DamageControl 2.0, even though I got 2.0r2, anyone else see this? Just want to make sure I got r2 and im not drunk
[Hero CDMA Android Development] animal7296:
Mine too says 2.0. Dont think that is a problem tho.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] QuiQNeZZ:
Is anyone else running handcent and getting a text everytime you get a voicemail? I thought I had it fixed before on one of the other flashes I did but it's back now. VVM is working fine, I get the notification on bar as well as the widget but i'm also getting a text from "ANDROID:(PHONE NUMBER) has sent you a voice message. Call 408-970-0000 to listen. MMSN" and a whole bunch of characters.

Anybody know a fix for this?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nicksavop:
can only speak for myself but i had to re flash dc 1 and then nandroid back to dc 2r2, pri still showing 170 003 and protected apps showing. Weird thing is when i tried to nandroid back to my original dc1 backup it wasnt showing protected apps, and i it used to before i did the PRI fix.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nebenezer:
if you are using handcent just blacklist the next message you get

also be sure to disable notifications in the stock messaging app
[Hero CDMA Android Development] QuiQNeZZ:
I've done both. But looks like it's recognizing the phone number as part of the contact so if i'm not mistaken, I'll have to do that with every number that leaves me a message since I can't just blacklist texts with "Android" at the start.

Bout to test it out with another phone number.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nebenezer:
are you using stock vvm or gvoice?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] riggsandroid:
Firmware version reads 2.1-update1, I think that is different.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] QuiQNeZZ:
Stock. So is this a known issue with everyone? No way to fix it without blacklisting?

I just tried a test with a coworker and it did the same thing. And I can't blacklist everyone otherwise i'll never get regular texts from people.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] notasimpleway:
Had you been using Gvoice? Cause you need to turn off Gvoice's forwarding.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DirtyShroomz:
Also, I was on PRI 1.70_003, after I flashed this rom im on 2.11_002 and nfl wont work but sprint tv and all else will :-(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nebenezer:
I wasn't aware of this and don't know how to fix it. I switched to gvoice for vvm a couple weeks ago and love it
[Hero CDMA Android Development] QuiQNeZZ:
Nope, I have an account that I setup a LONG time ago which I never even use. Guess I might try it out again to see what the fuss is all about. Seems like VVM from Gvoice works better then Sprints?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nebenezer:
it's just cool that it transcribes your vmails, not very well but it works great otherwise for vvm
[Hero CDMA Android Development] doojer:
This has gotten me much closer.

Everything went pretty much as described, but on booting back into D2, the apps did not start to automatically download. However, when I went to market in D2, the protected apps I'd dowloaded (Goggles/Yelp) did in fact show up in my list (but not as installed). So, I clicked install on each one and now I have been waiting at the "starting download" screen for about 10 minutes. The downloads don't seem to want to start.

Gonna give it a few more minutes and see if a reboot helps....

EDIT: looks like reboot didn't help. Gonna let it sit for a while and see if something kicks in and gets these downloads going. Searching around market shows all the protected apps now (goggles, yelp, shopsavvy, etc...). I just gotta convince it to start the downloads!

EDIT (again): Argh, it won't download anything at all now.... protected or not. :confused:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] riggsandroid:
I had a functioning ROM, restarted per the suggestion on the first post to fix sync/battery issues and now it is frozen at HTC screen.

I just realized that Google Talk immediately closes (no force close message) every time I open it. I've never used Google Talk before, but I'm assuming this has something to do with why I can't download from market (I read in another thread that market and Google Talk are related somehow....)?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rgildoss:
well i dont know why but i flashed back to stock 1.5 rom.. rooted again and then installed 2.0r2 also wiped card and re-partioned the card wiped card again ( all 3 options ) and everything is working .. locked apps, facebook sync , gmail sync , GPS , navigation, sprint tv, nascar, nfl ..all works ...Sync however was abit slooooww.. but it did sync ...gona do another phone this way and see what happens

I tried unchecking the syncing and rebooting then reenabling the sync but nothing works.

what is forever, i've let it sit at htc screen for about 8 minutes so far....

any ideas?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] penbralat:
It took my phone less than 10 minutes for the initial boot but I know others who said it took well over 12 minutes. Give it time on the initial boot.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] doojer:
Yeah, I tried that as well as toggling on and off wifi and rebooting the phone.

Not sure what's going on but I still think it may have something to do with my Google Talk closing immediately every time I open it.... I'm thinking I may wipe everything and start from scratch with clean installs....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] riggsandroid:
This is the second boot. My first restart since some customization. I was restarting to see if that could fix the facebook sync issues.

I can get to the menu by pressing the home button on restart, but for now it is just htc only. should i try flashing the update again?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rgildoss:
i think i might have messed something up when i installed the expresso theme ..becasue its just sitting at the HTC screen now ..going on 10 min ...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] SeanFL:
the earlier dc rom had the nexus weather/news widget, right? Liked that a lot. anyone else added it in to this one?

just an observation: 2.0r2 seems a little slower compared to the dc 1.0 I was using; presume that's because this hasn't been optimized or de-crapified?

[Hero CDMA Android Development] monkeyzero:
When I first flashed it, it sat on the quietly brilliant screen for a good 10 minutes. I got scared I had bricked it, pulled the battery (probably the worst idea ever) and powered back on. The second time it only took 2 minutes or so but was slow to go from screen to screen for the set up screens.

I was on Fresh 1.1 before this if that makes a difference. Not sure. I'm a noob.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chocmatic:
damn, 8 and 10 minutes to load...mine took roughly 2-3 minutes

phones not vibrating for incoming text messages.

I was using the stock SMS app. but switch to handcent which usually fixes these issues, but i noticed handcent was not making it vibrate either.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Clipt:
ok so I saw the constant syncing thing and I read here it might be facebook. i also read that I should go ahead and remove the account then add it again. when i went to remove it. I noticed there was a Facebook and a Facebook for htc sense. I went ahead and removed the account.. which was under facebook for htc sense and added the account again but this time under just facebook (not the htc sense one) now the syncing symbol but now none of my contacts have their fb pic... sucks idk what to do. I think I'll just remove both facebook accounts for the time being...

thanks for the help guys.

dude, did you do anything else differet. all i did was make a nandroid backup. went into recovery. wiped. installed the rom. then rebooted my phone. it got to the quietly brilliant screen and stayed there for like 3 minutes so i just left to take a shower. by the time i was done it was all done. my advice is to let your phone sit for a bit...

[Hero CDMA Android Development] MILH0U5E:
You can't FLASH DC1.0 and not mess up the PRI... flashing DC1 puts the Eris leak on ur phone, which makes ur PRI 2.11...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jackal424:
I got the same issue....any luck?

This is what i heard:

"The Voicemail one was an alert for your phone to download a voicemail. You're seeing it because of Handcent. The built-in app knows to ignore these messages. You don't want to block them from Sprint because Visual Voicemail will not work if you do. What you want to do is reply to it so it appears in the Handcent message list. Then add it to black list so it doesn't appear and Handcent doesn't notify you about it."

But I didnt have this problem before DC 2.0 using Handcent. So I dont get it.

QuiQNeZZ any luck? Did you fix it? What's annoying is that it didnt happen before the ROM. When I initially installed DC 2.0 r1, I noticed that a series of text messages were sent out, maybe to set up visual voicemail or something.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Tikerz:
I flashed DC1.0 to do the Marketplace workaround and my PRI didn't change when I restored back to DC2.0r2

I know this was a quick, down and dirty rundown... but did you purposely leave out the wipe before restoring the D2 nandroid backup? I'm just curious if the wipe before the D2 nandroid restore listed in the instructions I followed is necessary/helpful or not....

Here are the instructions I followed:

I tried some other methods here, but this was the only one that got the apps to show up. Is the 2nd wipe important?

Whenever I try this I get stuck on the animated load up screen for DC1.0. Do I need to do a full wipe of EVERYTHING before loading up DC1.0?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theraginasian:
Let me get this out in the open: This is the closest thing we have to a fully working 2.1, AHEAD of an official release, and for that I must say we owe great thanks to damage and all the other devs on here.

However, I do want to bring issue with "100% complete". While KNOWN issues exist with the ROM, and people are eager and anxious to get them fixed, by simply telling people to "search the forums" we do little to help future users. Why are we getting so many posts about simple things already fixed? Becaeuse the main post would have us believe no such issues exist.

Nothing but respect and credit to damage and I know he's a busy guy, but I think a simple bug-log and change-log from release to release would really be helpful. Maybe a dev close to damage with free-time could do this? I'll volunteer myself! I used to keep up with the Wiki while I had time, I just don't have any direct relationship with the devs.

Thanks for excellent dev work, and understanding of my humble opinion.

And on this note... any other possible fixes for Protected Market Apps and Constant Sync? And yes, I have tried all methods available in the forums, I am quite good at searching, just curious what OTHER peoples methods are that maybe aren't normally vocal about how they solved the issue.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Tikerz:

Haha, well, this is awesome. Spent hours trying to figure this all out, got protected apps and everything else working.... except the one app I did it all for! :o

Not gonna break my back over it. Murphy's Law, I guess....

[Hero CDMA Android Development] belador:
Newbie doing it for the first time....

Hello peoples....

I was reading at another forum and saw that a release of the Damage's 2.1 ROM was available so I came here and it was already way over 2000 posts but I took the plunge and rooted my Hero.

Since I have never done this before took me a long while to find out how to do it correctly so I used the "[GUIDE] How To Root The Sprint CDMA Hero (Windows)" that is on this forum, only that I did it Linux style! Where it says to do the wipe, I did all BUT the SD CARD wipe since that I didn't want to wipe everything on the SD card unless I am forced to.

The only hiccup to this was that after I done the backup and rebooted was how to get the new rom in. After doing some searches, I finally got that part in.

Welll.... this new ROM is something... had no problems running it. Had to reload my very few apps that I had loaded under the old ROM but other than that... it has been very smooth running.

One of the nicer things about this new ROM is that now I can resize a certain web page that I couldn't get the text bigger beyond a certain size and now I can make it even bigger!!! :)

I gotta give very very mad props to Damage in getting this out for everybody to get their mittens on and trying it out. I will look forward to updates of this what will now be a very favorite and popular release!!!

[Hero CDMA Android Development] cirehawk:
I'm amazed at comments like this. Damage got ahold of a Sprint ROM and decided to give us a taste of it, which he did not HAVE to do. Yet people complain that he stated it's 100%complete. This is a developer release. If you don't want to participate in the process, stick with DC1.0, or Fresh, or any of the other stable custom ROMs. Or better yet, one can always stick with the stock Sprint ROM and wait patiently for them to release 2.1. I chose to test out this ROM. I'm certainly not going to complain about the wording on the front page of this thread.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] cirehawk:
I have been using this ROM all day and it's been good for th emost part. Hoever, I ran into an issue at lunch today. I went to the gym and was streaming Pandora/Tunewiki through my BT headset (something I do often with other ROMs). Everything went okay for about 20 minutes, but then my music stopped and both Pandora and Tunewiki stopped responding. I couldn't even quit out of them. After 10 minutes or so, they force closed. After that, my phone would not wake up. I basically had to remove the battery and turn it back on. I restored DC1.0 for now until I can check things out later.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DirtyShroomz:
No need to attack the poster. People know what they are getting into when installing ROM's, but he does have a point, can't claim something is 100% when it is not. A lot of people download/wipe/flash and **** up their phones because of what they read in the front page.

It should read 100% SPRINT rom, not 100% working.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theraginasian:
Thanks, this is the only point I'm trying to make. I just think we'd be a lot more efficient as a community if we were as open as possible about the bugs, not hiding them away in the posts. There is a reason the other ROMs have additional areas, such as known issues, changelog, and fixes. I'm not ungrateful (did you read the first half of my post?), I'm just curious why we don't have similar bug-resolution options with this (arguably the best) ROM... hell this rom is so good that most of the new ones are BASED on it... which is why I think its more important than ever to have a clear process for bug-finding and fixing.
