I am postponing the update due to the fact that I am still working on it.

Update tomorrow.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DanWalker:
I wouldn't rule it out, it appears that Damageless is online which means he could be working on something special lol. In the mean time I am finding all sorts of things to play with to stay occupied.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chfields:
Not tonight....................
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DanWalker:
Beat me to it. I love when you postpone, it always means that quality is on the way! You're the man!

Just a thought but this new keyboard with the voice that was posted is awesome, maybe it could be added to a future version ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
Quality is what I'm after.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Roman G:
Thanks for keeping us updated Damage, your much better than sprint in my book!

And remember keep your chin up!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nebenezer:
Priceless, more people should have your attitude.

Thanks for your commitment Damage, we truly appreciate it
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Papa Smurf151:
agreed. Thanks Damage. Your roms out do all others and the quality is what makes that happen. Take ur time im sure the rest of us will be sitting here tomorrow continuing to press F5 until that update is uploaded.

until then there is customizing to be done...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dwertz:
Damage - did that Sprint Rom leak come with a Radio? I tried the new Eris Leak one and like the stock sprint one better but I was just curious. I have not heard anything about it coming with a radio or not.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cihua:
Yep, that's u man. Thanks a lot for all the commitment. :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jakejm79:
Unplugged mine around 7:45AM now 2AM (have about 18.25 hours on it) at 20% and have been texting almost all day on it, downloading apps, some phonecalls and sprint tv. About 25% uptime and wifi on the whole time (tho only connected for about 10 hours). I could probably easily squeeze 24 hours of moderate use out of it if I had to.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Austin3600:
Looking forward to the update. Quality is the most important, take all the time you need :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ndroid916:
take ur time my man!! we'll be waiting for it :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jzmjr:
For some reason wifi tether does not work. Keeps sayin that it cannot start.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] unifiedboyz:
as will i!!!!!! Damage is the sh**
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Rakeesh_j:
Has

*ANYBODY*

at all been able to use the USAA app on their phone? Or is it just a few people that can't? It works fine for me with damagecontrol v1, but not this rom.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] skyrkt:
Thanks for all of your work Damageless, I am amazed at your work and how much time and effort you put into it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 151jcolon:
Hi DAMAGELESS , can i get a patch for fix just the contact issue(black page)? my phone is running very good, without the other issues. thanks for everything .
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DanWalker:
There is no fix for that. just tap your screen and you will be able to see the text.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] arcataslacker:
Bricled?

so I loaded this rom up this morning before class and misssed the bit about the battery drain fix. well I get to a friends house tonight and jacked into her HP and after about 45 min I was on my phone and it powered off and would not power back on. after some troubleshooting I found that one in four times or so when i pluged it in to the computer windows will try to install a driver for an unknown device, the charging light will come on even more rarely and its a all around pain.

any ideas what could cause that?

I used it while walking home in a light rain today but I dont think that should effect it like this non the less I'm leaving it unpluged with the battery and battery cover off for the night.

any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

worst comes to worst a RMA would probably be out of the question wouldn't it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sorwrith:
Interestingly, as I was rooting around in the Rom after friendstream wasn't installed, It wasn't located in the Rom zip... was it removed after first release
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jmoch2:
So, what you're saying is your phone died and won't turn back on? If you're only charging it by PC, it will take forever to charge to a point where you can turn it back on. Plug it into a wall charger and give it a good 30-40 min and it should power on.

Unless the rain messed something up, letting your battery totally die can't brick the phone.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jason kiDD:
For those having battery issues. Once I removed the Sprint_Updater.apk and also manually synced google/facebook battery time has be great. No issues. Alarm works. Just waiting on a slim down version that includes all previous updates all in one.. Good luck people!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] riggsandroid:
Damage,

Have you been able to trace any issues with the data problems some users are having after using this ROM? (see thread here)

Really this is an open ended question to all helping with this ROM.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aplusmiami:
Bluetooth Pairing works but ONLY audio

I have a Pioneer Premier Radio which was working fine with previous Android 1.5 w-this release of Damage and Android 2.1, It only pairs with audio NO speakerphone. I've reset the radio settings Just in case and no luck.

Any help?

TIA
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DanWalker:
Right on the first page.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aplusmiami:
Google Marketplace

I do not see all the available apps from previous.. I know this has been addressed but I do not see a concrete solution other than reloading DC1 and loading my apps then loading DC2 is this the only way?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] typeadam:
Does the black-on-black contact bug have anything to do w/ the WHITE notification bar? When I flashed this ROM I flashed the white bar at the same time so I never even saw the stock look. So I'm wondering if the stock one having white text, makes the contact bug a non-issue??
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jeb0921:
Nope, it is on all of them.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] doojer:
Other than waiting for the update, this seems to be the way.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rjj1976:
You still won't see all apps show up in the Market even after doing this.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tejasrichard:
not entirely true. It isn't on mine (my personal phone, I mean). Others using the theme I made have mentioned this problem, but I never even knew it was an issue till I read about it here. The only problem I have had is a few apps missing from market....not all protected, just some. None of the other issues have affected me thus far, though I haven't used facebook in a few days...so I can't comment there.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dwertz:
You need to add the patch4.zip which is also in post #2718. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6031871&postcount=2718

[Hero CDMA Android Development] AmericasBoyToy:
Everything seems to be working great for me except for one thing. Once I setup my exchange email I was prompted to setup a password of some type which was unusual but I went with it - it ended up making it so once I slide my lock screen down I'm prompted to enter a password "Password unlock", looking at the settings under Security it doesn't give me any options to remove it. Just "Change unlock password" under "Screen unlock pattern". A pattern is not an option either O_o
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kranz68osu:
Read the following thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=645188

There is a post about a market app called LockPicker that will disable the password but to enable the pattern lock, you will need to do some other steps.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Tikerz:
Use the patch in post #2.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] watzone69:
I have a white background with black text in my People app.

I think that I had the black on black thing on DCv2.0 but it got fixed for me since r2. I'm not sure what exactly fixed it though.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] AmericasBoyToy:
Had factory data reset done and it resolved the issue - just hope it doesn't occur again when I setup Active Sync for my Exchange Mail
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jakejm79:
One thing i did notice (and I'm not sure if it is related), but while switching between DC1, DC2 and DCTreve that the people app was actually called contacts at one point, maybe there is two different versions of the people/contacts apk floating around and that explains why some people have the black background issue and others dont.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rank78:
anyone know how to change the bootscreen to the nexus boot? i tried using the new kitchen as well as pushing the nexus bootscreen files and neither got rid of the quietly brilliant one.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] AmericasBoyToy:
Sweet thanks! 8-)

Had to remote URL from quote due to my new user restriction now allowing URLs O_o what ev LOL please see initial posting by kranz68osu for fix!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dwertz:
I didnt want to do the a2sd so I used the patch4 which does the superuser for apps
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
Still an update planned for tonight with mostly bugfixes.

If anybody has any last-minute ideas and changes, please PM me.

Also, I have slowly been updating the first page, so everybody that didn't like the first page can slowly start becoming happier :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cirehawk:
Cool. Mostly bugfixes meaning probably no performance tweaks in this one?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
Performance tweaks as well.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cirehawk:
Awesome. I sent you a PM.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] runsoverfrogs:
dark contact background fix also? :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Dan330:
I wounder...

If we are on a your 2.0or2 ROM..

Will we need to Full wipe again???
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tejasrichard:
Quick thought:

Mike, have you synced Facebook? Cause I have not. Is there anyone having this problem who has NOT synced Facebook?

And visa-versa, there anyone who HAS synced Facebook who isn't having this issue?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chippillie:
Thanks for your hard work Damageless.

PS: Don't worry abought trying to please everybody (front page thing) it is impossible.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chfields:
Damageless stated that everything was working on his phone using the RUU. I think the issue came in when he took it from RUU and created the ROM. Maybe because it was so late and he was in a hurry to release. I have the utmost confidence that the issues will be resolved in no time. He just needs to get some sleep and start again later. He deserves a big round of applause for all he has done.....................
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
so im wondering if the sprint release is right around the corner now??? :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
i agree and i appreciate his work. i was just asking is all.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
ive got a request damage for a non-sense version of this 2.1 rom. ill donate heavy for it too! pm me if you wish.... ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PlagaDeRock:
Eitherway by tomorrow night we'll probably have 3 working versions of this lol. Damageless, Fresh, and Darch. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
one more question, lmao.... does apps2sd work on this rom? :p
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chfields:
I was just answering what I thought it was, I'm sorry if you got the impression I was implying something...I guess I should have hit enter a couple times before the last line. I was just giving him more props......
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PlagaDeRock:
Not yet. There's alot of issues with permissions so basically most things requiring root are pretty broken right now. Apps2SD, WiFi, ect...

I'm going to bed, later guys.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
damn...ill have to wait to install then! :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] schizopunk:
Exactly how I am... no apps2sd is a dealbreaker for me. I can live with no WiFi but I need my apps2sd.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] showbo:
WTF. This came out of nowhere. Sweetness.

Damageless new name is Ninjaless.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dfbonney:
Obviously I have the other listed issues, I also noticed that SMS/MMS notifications are not making the LED blink still. I also think that the auto backlight function is not working properly.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] grifforama:
Still not working.

Silly me. I thought when I saw

No more bugs! No more issues! This is as 100% as it gets!

Oh well.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
hmmm with all of these issues this has got to be a beta build of the sprint release. probably why sprint hasn't finished it yet.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smw6180:
Jesus. People are such crybabies. He took the ROM from the official sprint RUU (which apparently IS 100%). He admitted that in his exhaustion he forgot to add a few things into this ROM from the RUU. He has since gone to get some much needed rest and will fix it later.

Instead of whining over the title of the friggin' thread, READ the thread, see what problems other people have had and then flash or don't flash, up to you. But people need to stop complaining about something they're getting for free. Use it or don't, but STFU if you don't have anything constructive to aid Damageless in making this ROM fully functional.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] slackwaresupport:
anyone missing apps from the market?? i cant find barcode scanner, pure calendar agenda, ...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chfields:
Very weird all of a sudden my DATA connection is working again......wifi still out tho.......I wonder if the DATA being out was a Sprint issue, not ROM????
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dfbonney:
It has to be Sprint beta, I agree. We have a huge team of people to fix it though.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] crash447:
This might be a dumb question, but when people say "No WIFI". Does that mean NO WIFI or No WIFI Tethering?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PlagaDeRock:
Beat me to it lol. Yeah the RUU was working 100% which means what everyone is wait for the version with all the root access we all love is still in need of some tweaking and fixing. Its a 2.1 leak and its from sprint. This will work good just gotta wait till he wakes back up and or the RUU becomes accessible to other dev's. This is a good thing.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sdecker149:
ADM

First I want to thank Damageless and everyone that helped with this ROM, I appreciate it!

I am noob to this, so if the question I ask seems stupid I apologize. On the front page Damageless states to fix things through ADB, what is ADB? If anyone could answer this for me I would be greatful.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Merckle:
agreed, seriously they can wait just because there impatient ignorance selves don't know how to do it and want it now. quality over quantity! DAMAGE YOU ROCK AND KEEP UP THE HARD WORK!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
All I really did to the first page was add screenshots which everybody likes anyways.

So enjoy the screenies.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kratos313:
where can we get that DC updater app thats in the screen shot?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jeb0921:
I think you mean ADB.

That is the android developers sdk. You can get it from here.

It allows you to access the operating system files on your phone plus a lot more that I have no idea about. but for following steps provided by the great people here, you can use it to fix or modify things the way you want.;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] subliminalurge:
Well, it's mainly intended for people who are developing software for the phone. Hence the name "Software Development Kit".

A lot of the included tools, such as adb, are also very useful (necessary) for working with mods, as well.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pipskicks:
I'm guessing if you're asking about it, either search "how to push through ADB" and if that is difficult to understand, just ask devs to fix things for you in a flashable zip :)

It isn't too difficult to do, but if you are scared of messing with things (although it isn't that unsafe) you can probably get what you want by looking for zips to flash or asking devs to do it for you if you can't figure it out.

Also Fresh's kitchen helps with pushing files. ADB is a big topic, just look around :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jerry43812:
I want to have more very useful links in my sig so people like me can find info easily... what else should I add in there? If you have a kickass guide for noobs (like me) who need the info, please PM it to me and I will link to your thread in my sig. Thanks!

Any Suggestions

Using CDMA HTC Hero sPrint, rooted v1.5.2 with nandroid backup

Does anyone see any issues with the steps I'm about to take?

-Downloaded DamageControl v2.0r2

-Copied to root of SDCard

-Rebooted into Recover Mode

-Wipe data/factory reset

-Flash zip from sdcard

?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jerry43812:
I had to reboot last night because pdanet refused to connect to my laptop, since then the lagginess seems to be doing better! CANNOT WAIT for the update, damageless!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] subliminalurge:
That sounds about right.

The only thing you *might* want to consider is that if there's an update just around the corner, you could wait for that before you dive in. Not that there's anything wrong with this release, but it would save you having to set up all your apps, etc... twice.

If you don't mind doing that (it's not terribly hard), then it sounds like you're ready to go!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] badblowntie:
Awesome Rom!

I just want to say Thanks! I have had my Hero since last year, and kept waiting for Sprint to release an update :( I have flashed many roms on windows phones, but was a little leary on trying an android rom.) Man was I surprised to see how awesome this rom really is. It fixed many of the Sprint problems I was having, plus many other added features. I just wanted to say a HUGE thanks for all of your hard work!!!!!!!!! :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] avegasrascal:

Could any one tell me why i can make calls but can't recieve any after flashing the damage rom???

...also, are you still planning on releasing the radio? I know you had mentioned it a couple hundred pages back, but I didn't see any more about it later.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
Found out that the radio is actually same as flipz's, so I didn't release it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jvermillion:
Ah, fair enough.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ebartolon:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] coldsweat:
From what I've heard we will not be seeing an update. Damage is going back to his Amish roots. His family would be terribly upset if they found out what he is doing.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jvermillion:
Don't be impatient, cupcake. He said later tonight. :)

Edit: Do people get upset when I call them cupcake in a derisive manner?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Merckle:
lol knew it was to good to believe Haha
[Hero CDMA Android Development] watzone69:
No, I didn't try syncing w/Facebook. I just noticed that I only show 2 contacts in the People app. All my contacts show up when I access them through the phone.

Also, I see what you all mean about the black text on black background. It only happens when I try to view or delete a contact from the People app.

EDIT: None of which is a big deal to me. Looking forward to the update damageless.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] KBizzle:
You can call me cupcake cause Im still waiting on Sprint to be called Eclair.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] posguy99:
Didn't Flipz's radio have some Verizon-specific bits in it? A binary compare says they're the same?

If Sprint is actually distributing that ROM with their OTA update, then we all should go ahead and apply it?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] posguy99:
Will that be a flash-over-the-top update, or will that be a wipe-and-flash update? :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ebartolon:
depends...because i'm a male it feels awkward.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jvermillion:
good. 10chars
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ebartolon:
haha. maybe "FroYo" for the next android step...i wonder if htc hero will get the "froyo" update?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Stramondroid:
is it ready?

Im curious if this would be considered an 'everyday' rom in its current state. Ive read about 30 pages of threads, Im ready to flash it, but wanna make sure I can use it everyday.

Thanks for all your help.... Damageless you rock!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
I was told that flipz changed the Verizon stuff in the radio.

I will check though.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ebartolon:
you can use it everyday. been using it since its release. and I'm loving it.:D Go Ahead. Flash It!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chfields:
I use it as my everyday ROM and love it!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] badblowntie:
It's better then the stock Sprint rom for sure! Go for it!!!!!!! you won't be disappointed.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jvermillion:
It is a good everyday ROM, if you don't mind fiddling with things once in a while. Applying fixes doesn't annoy me as much as it does some other people, though, so in the end YMMV.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] diordnahero:
It's my everyday ROM. It is better than Sprint's 1.5
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ebartolon:
thats a common sense? right? hopefully 2.2 is better than 2.1 right?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] KBizzle:
Nah, Im hoping it will start back tracking after 2.1. Maybe a 2 second delay between screen swipes. Awesome!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ebartolon:
but why. I wonder how phones will be in the future? Dual Core Snapdragon anyone?

[Hero CDMA Android Development] jerry43812:
I'd like to see a list of apps that are commonly used and will work 100% with this ROM, plus I'd like to see a guide on how to make the apk's work, a "for dummies" guide would be awesome. I'll make a thread that contains all these guides, if people want to help contribute.
