ok lets not get on the thread title again please if the alarm does not work for you (this is the case for me as well) and it is that big of a deal then dont use the rom please stop posting about how the title is misleading and what not as everything does work on the OP phone. guess what there are going to be bugs I dont care when sprint releases THERE WILL BE BUGS! and some people will have issues and others wont that is the way the tech world is. some people have issues others dont. instead of posting "the title is wrong" post that you have the bug too try to figure out what is going on or at the very least get a logcat of it and send it to the dev that way he knows what to look for.

bottom line stop complaining and do something productive.

Thankful for the work.

But lots of people now looking for 100% working ROM, which this is not.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mthanded:
Give me source. I could try to put my kernel hacking skills to good use. The real time operating systems class at my grad school does kernel modifications on the G1. Did not take it last semester but I might next semester.

Did take operating systems at the undergraduate level and we did kernel modifications. I don't mind snooping around or trying to fix things myself.

I know I might look like someone who does not know anything about phones and modification due to my low post count but I have been messing with phones since the i930 nextel days. Also I my phd research is in embedded security.

Not here to complain just wish the title could be changed because some people will come in believing this rom is 100% and that is not the truth.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smoother2010:
Not to be rude but what would you like us to do? We are giving him feedback as he requested. There are alot of broken things in his rom that need to be addressed. I doubt there will be that many bugs in the final. I don't think there is anything wrong with damage changing the title to "a work in progress" instead of a 'fully' working rom.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] djjenso0n:
alarm clock

so use the alarm klok app from the market till he gets it fixed already...

i am liking this build bunches...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aauussttiinn88:
yea the title is only misleading for lazy people who dont actually wanna read about the development of this rom....so yea like wpphoto said dude go chill on 1.5 if your gonna complain about a minute problem....12.99 @ walmart alarm clocks are cheap bro
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Mistamike17:
Agreed 100%. Those of you suggesting that people stop complaining don't make much sense. If we're not reporting issues, how are devs and unsuspecting Hero owners to know that there are in fact issues?

My opinion: Continue to report the issues you're having so that the community can make this a better ROM.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aauussttiinn88:
lmao dude changing the title has no way in affecting the rom....instead why dont you open up the files and see whats causing the alarm not to work instead of being like ohh yea the titles wrong other wise sit back and read along cause changin the title aint going to do anything and thats what you guys are complaining about
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wtphoto:
dude not to be rude either but you are not even running this rom from what I see you are just learking in this thread and keep saying youll wait to flash. As I said at the very least boot the ROM and get a logcat of the stuff that is not working over to damage or avalaunch or one of the other people that know what half that stuff means (it looks like a bunch of jiberish to me).

edit: im seriously not trying to be rude if it comes across that way i appologize but the whole think is rubbing me the wrong way right now damage works very hard for us and I am sure that getting this leak was no small task on top of that fact that a lot of us where up till almost 4:30 this morning working on the PRI issue caused by earlier leaks. so seriously not being rude.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mthanded:
A large amount of people come into this thread and see EVERYTHING WORKS in the title. They are not going to wade through hundreds of pages posts to find out there are bugs.

Thats like me submitting a research paper to a conference and in the abstract claiming I solved an important problem only to find out there are holes in my results.

Not here to knock anyone. I respect what hes doing because he is doing this expecting no payback(he deserves donations).

It will stop people from assuming it is perfect. Trust me DUDE I am not an idiot.

Alright I will take a look. I know apps on android run in the jvm. There are jars right? I could decompile them if need be.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smoother2010:
id be glad to help if i even knew where to start. :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aauussttiinn88:
Then maybe XDA isnt for you
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smoother2010:
Im not running the rom, i was hoping today it would be fixed. last night i was on here with most of you following the progress and helping in anyways i could.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smoother2010:
just a word to the wise, the mods are watching this thread.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] SooooneR:
Well I hate to break it to you but... I'm at work and guess what woke me up this morning? Soooooo.... I just set it again and it worked. I have the latest build. I think you guys need to check how your going about installing this ROM. You might even list your steps that you took before the install. The only thing that's not working on my hero at this point is not all the apps are showing up in Market. I'm just saying you might make sure its not operator error before blaming the Dev! :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bobsbobbers:
THANK YOU

Holy cow Damage. Talk about a dev coming out of the woodwork and knocking our socks off. And here I was content to use v1.1b6 till your next bump release. :eek::eek:

To all those who are or would be knocking this thread title etc:

1. Try the ROM (in the manner suggested, wipe, follow all the steps, don't take shortcuts or you will have problems)

2. have problems? Report them in a useful manner

Don't crap this thread up with junk about how you don't like the title or this or that. This is a user-generated forum and we are each able to create our own threads with our own titles. If the mods think something is up they will do their job and make sure this forum is properly maintained. No sense in blubbering on about it between us users.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Mistamike17:
OK, instead of arguing, I think the best thing we can do is create a rolling list of issues.

Here is a known list of issues:

1) Protected Apps do not work because the build is signed with test keys.

2) Facebook Sync does not complete and causes 100% awake time unless canceled manually.

3) Stock alarm clock app does not work.

4) Facebook widget does not work.

Copy and paste if you have an issue to add.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mthanded:
I am willing to help fix some of the problems. I know some high level android stuff and I really want to get into kernel hacking on this bad boy :D . I have the sdk already so I guess I can try some things later today.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smoother2010:
Has everybody been able to make and receive all calls and texts, emails?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Mistamike17:
I've tried running R1 and R2 of DCv2. Both have issues.

Each time my install process has consisted of the following:

-Reboot into 1.5.2 Recovery IMG

-Wipe: Factory Data Reset

-Flash without renaming

-Reboot

So, what'd I miss?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
I really am appalled at the lack of appreciation here.

Yes, I want feedback, and I didn't think there was anything misleading about the title, but I changed it to quit the whiners because I'm sick of hearing about it. Now go somewhere else or stop complaining about the title!

Stay on topic about the FULL Sprint build that I have released and be constructive or you won't get anything from me anymore.

I also woke up to my alarm this morning. If you didn't, then be constructive and help me figure out why!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mthanded:
Emails seem to work through the gmail app. Have not tried the htc app. have not had anyone call me yet.

Is there anything I can do to help.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aauussttiinn88:
lol i know this cause i actually "read" through the threads..im was just saying cause damage has to actually "read" through all this too so its annoying if he has to read 60 posts about how fb sync doesent work and he should change the thread when it would be way more productive if you guys were like ok this is how i flashed and this is what i got just to be more efficient but im done with this topic
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dametzg:
The stock alarm clock works fine for me.

On a separate note, I had to use the ##786# method to change my PRI. My PRI changed to 1.68_003 and now my phone won't sleep. The awake time is at 100% with Android System being what's using the most battery. It was sleeping fine before I did the PRI change. Can anyone else verify if their phone is sleeping correctly after having to change their PRI?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mthanded:
Wierdly enough I just got a call and the contact had their facebook picture.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Mistamike17:
First off, no disrespect meant by any of us. We're trying to keep you aware of issues that you may not be having. If you see it as anything else, I'm sorry.

That aside, I'd love to help. What do you need?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smoother2010:
as i said id love to help if i knew where to start. ive never tried to mod android before. plus im not running linux on my desktop or netbook, im on windows 7.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aauussttiinn88:
you are using this rom right? and have you tried to reboot?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
If you can get into adb and do a logcat of when your alarm doesn't go off but is supposed to and can post it or PM it to me, then we might be able to get somewhere.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smoother2010:
i can't say much becuase even on 1.5 there are times i don't get texts until i reboot the phone. :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aauussttiinn88:
try wiping all four categories and re flashing
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mthanded:
No disrespect intended. I apologize if that was the tone you received. Like I said you are pushing out these roms for free and deserve a lot of praise for that.

Texts and phone calls work over here.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Mistamike17:
Let me get in there and try to figure this stuff out. I'll see what I can get you.

Will that format any of my SD Data?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DanWalker:
Morning guys just woke up and read that people were having an alarm issue...so I set mine for 5 mins and it went off. Not sure if there is anything I can do to try to help figure out why.

Side note: did anyone figure out how to fix SU?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smoother2010:
don't wipe the fat wipe the ext2.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NewYorkLaw:
+1, I did the same thing and my alarm works, too. Since I'm apparently one of the "lucky ones," let me know if there's any information I can provide to help the group.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] schizopunk:
I'm still waiting for apps2sd to work so I can fully test out this ROM. I feel very limited not having space for my applications. From what I see, the build looks pretty good and stable, just haven't really gotten to REALLY test it cause I can't install my apps I would use regularly.

Only bug I've spotted so far is that when you go to "view" mode in People, it is still black on black. Can't read the choices.

PS. I'll ask this again... anyone know how to get the apps2sd part to work? I flashed the update but what do I do next? I'm partitioned and everything. Help, please.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aauussttiinn88:
yea my bad i dont use a2sd but wipe data,dalvik,battery,rotation (not sure if the last two are necccesary but i do it and i never have any of the issues that most people have with any of the roms) try that and reflash and lemmo kno
[Hero CDMA Android Development] SooooneR:
Well you need to update to 1.6.2 whether it makes a difference or not. This is what I did...

1. Went into my storage card and cleared up all the old files from the first Damage Rom. Left my Music files, Movies etc. Of course left Nand backup and the 1.6.2 recovery image.

2. Copied the newest release to the storage card and rebooted to the system recovery.

3. Did a Nand backup

4. Wiped data/factory reset

5. Wiped Dalvik-cache

6. Flashed the rom

7. Rebooted

8. Once everything came up... I removed the battery for about 2-3 min.

9. Rebooted

10. Logged into gmail, facebook and twitter.

Only issue I have is the market not showing all the apps. Damage knows about this and with everyone's patience I'm sure he will fix that.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mthanded:
When I boot into recovery and attempt to wipe dalvik it tells me to do it through adb? Is that the intended behavior?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smoother2010:
doesn't sound normal to me at all.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mthanded:
interesting...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] SooooneR:
Nope... It should say completed.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DarkPhoenix:
First off thank you damageless for the time and work you have put into this rom. I have PRI 1.68_003. I did a nandroid backup then wiped the phone and dalvik-cache. I installed Damagecontrolv20r2 and rebooted. I am happy to say that everything works (wifi, gps, vvm, sprint tv, everything). The only bugs I have are these. I get a strange sms along with the vvm notification, and i can't find the google googles in the market. I was able to reinstall all of my apps from the market with no problem. Thanks again for your hard work. If there is anything else I can do to help please let me know. :D

GREAT JOB!!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mthanded:
Im running recovery version RA-heroc-v1.5.2
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aauussttiinn88:
knock on wood mines never told me that either when wiping dalvik....also with the syncing issue at first boot i dont sign in to any of my accts i just skip skip skip then let it load then reboot and then after that i sign into my stuff that might help the people who are having sync issues...i think the phone is just trying to do too much at first boot
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DanWalker:
+1

I've been trying to get that answered forever, I asked it back about 40 pages ago lol.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] schizopunk:
So there's no code I need to enter like on some roms?

And yeah, I shall do that now and see how things go.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] SooooneR:
Upgrade to the 1.6.2 that might fix your problem.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aauussttiinn88:
when wiping theres no code you need to enter....just reboot into recovery hold down home and power up....then select the wipe menu then continue to wipe those four categories
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smw6180:
Be sure your SD card's not full. I've seen that happen because of it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] schizopunk:
I mean is there any code I should be entering to activate apps2sd that you know of off hand? I know some ROMs just work with it and some dont... not sure if you'd know cause you dont use it, but maybe someone does?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DanWalker:
Definitely not full, It's 8 gig and I have nothing on it. lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Mistamike17:
I should note that both of those logcats were from nandroid backups of R1 with darch's patch. I'm flashing back to R2 right now after wiping all 4 of the suggested options.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aauussttiinn88:
ohhh i honestly dont know bro a2sd is one thing i have never used....but im sure someone else should know thast uses it my bad for the misunderstanding

WAIT did you download DARCHS update zip for a2sd and live wall papers last night i thinks its like page 101 or so
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DanWalker:
in an effort to update my recovery image as suggested above I found this.

http://www.koushikdutta.com/2010/02/clockwork-recovery-image.html

Anyone tired it or should I just use the carebears? lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dominion300:
Awesome, so...what does constitute a 'protected' app that won't show up? Barcode I can get away with not having that and I really don't use many more apps than some recipe apps and calorie counter.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] schizopunk:
Its cool. No worries.

So anyone know how to get apps2sd working on this ROM? I've been asking this over and over and no one has responded... please, someone's gotta know.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aauussttiinn88:
dont bother with that yet the dev hasnt polished it enough for our heros yet.....carebears are trusty roll with that
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kkruse:
Yea Still trying to figure out whats going on. Reformatting it etc nothign works Only thing I havent tried is actually wiping the entire SD card and redoing the partitioning. However If i go back to another rom all is well.

Where you on 2.0r2? or the first rev?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aauussttiinn88:
dont know if you saw my edit but did you dl the update zip from darch on page 101 or so around that area
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smoother2010:
im not sure but im gonna say no.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DanWalker:
Try this one, it's just a trimmed down version of this exact rom and according to it the apps2sd works.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=653622
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 5tr4t4:
If you have a partitioned card, your phone ROM or ext partitions might be full. I have had this error before (as well as the "Run nandoid.sh from a shell" error) and only when space was limited (card or ROM).

busybox df -h

...will tell you the situation, how full each partition is. I hope this helps.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] schizopunk:
Yeah, thats what I downloaded.

All I do is flash it over top of the ROM, correct? Do I need to rename it or anything?

The live wallpapers kept freezing on me as well & locking the device up. I had to take the battery out to get the phone working.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DanWalker:
I have no idea how to do any of that...thanks for the help though.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aauussttiinn88:
oh **** yea then i would just roll with the damagetrev from cause i think he does have a2sd working AUTO MAGICALLY as they call it:cool:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] schizopunk:
They're using the same patch that I've been trying on that ROM, Darch's.

It'd be nicer to get it working on this ROM, personally the modded ROM is really ugly looking... at least the top bar. Just my opinion.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smw6180:
Don't bother. I just repartitioned my SD card and it didn't do anything.

Curiously, if you type a2sd from a shell you get:

# a2sd

a2sd

sysctl: not found

[: not found

[: not found

[: not found
[Hero CDMA Android Development] schizopunk:
I'll give it a try. Its kinda ugly looking. Wish it didnt have that ugly looking top bar, but otherwise if it has apps2sd i'm happy.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] schizopunk:
Yeah, I get that too. I've tried wiping my card even... nothing's worked. :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aauussttiinn88:
i would try this

reboot recovery

wipe data/dalvik/batt/rotation

reflash rom

then flash darchs update zip right after

then reboot

this worked for me i mean like i said i dont use a2sd but everything else in that update zip worked for me like lwp cynogen launcher

i know its a pain but i would give it a shot
[Hero CDMA Android Development] blindfaith76:
Alarm clock and other apps that require clock access not working

I have tried the stock alarm clock, Alarm Klok from the market and also Sleep Timer from the market, and none of them seem to be working, all 3 require access to the clock. I know the alarm clock issues have been posted before, but just wanted to add that it seems to effect ALL apps that require access to the clock. Thanks Damage!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smoother2010:
If it had the darkstar theme it would be sexxxy!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] etbrandt2:
I did the ##786# and my device is sleeping. I am not having the sync issues anymore either. I just canceled it on the first sync hang and then went into each one and sync'd individually.

Thanks damage for your work. Can't wait for an optimized version. I think you've earned a donation.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] schizopunk:
Quick question, should I make sure it's renamed update.zip before I flash it? Sometimes I do, sometimes I dont... could that be an issue?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DanWalker:
Ok here's my question...What would cause me to lose my su ability. I had it before I flashed this rom and now it's gone. Anyone?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smoother2010:
i think su is broken in this, correct me if im wrong?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aauussttiinn88:
i never do i just download to the root of my sd and flash thru recovery
[Hero CDMA Android Development] schizopunk:
I'm just not a huge fan of all the "clear lockscreens" and all that shiz... I don't know, maybe just me.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DanWalker:
That's what I've been trying to figure out, some people reported it as working and quite obviously mine isn't. I'm trying to get it fixed. But not sure how.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aauussttiinn88:
i know that the damagetrev rom addresses this issue without having to do anything thru adb
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Mistamike17:
Just reflashed with all four wipes and a reboot. Still having sync hang issues. Checking alarm now.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] schizopunk:
I'm pretty sure it was broken for me as well. I'm reflashing right now, dont expect anything to change, but we'll see.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aauussttiinn88:
did you try manually stopping the sync then sstarting it again (it does take a min also be patient) also ive heard of people having success if they manually stop it and then indivdually sync all of them
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Mistamike17:
Yes, that works and has always worked, but as soon as it tries to auto-sync again, those of us having issues get a hang again from what I've seen.

EDIT: No alarm clock again.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fatboypup:
Ok heres what i got, got my MSL got my PRI fixed went back to DC2 ........ only issues that was wrong was the FB widget and the alarm wont work ..... but i was happy the sprint aps worked we're moving foward :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aauussttiinn88:
weird i would let damage look at your logcat and see if he can pinpoint the alarm issues theres gotta be some variable to that issue cause half of us our alarm clock and sync works fine and then the other half dont wweeiirrdd

also to throw a wrench in the system my PRI is 2.11_002 and i have no network issues what so ever on this rom and supposebly its supposed to which i also find very interesting
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smw6180:
Did that. LWP and such works, a2sd doesn't.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] avhokie:
This is my first ROM not based on 1.5.....wow! What a great job damageless! For the first time, I can sync natively to my companies Exchange server and SEND EMAILS! WOOHOO!

No more Roadsync or Touchdown needed!

As noted before, there are a few minor problems (like the alarm not working, protected apps, etc), but I'm not turning back and I'm sure that will be fixed soon.

Big thumbs up to this release!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] schizopunk:
That's what I'm expecting to happen to me too. Everything worked but a2sd. I'm just wondering if theres some code we need to type to activate the a2sd part.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mjodotcom:
I currently have the recovery client version of 1.5.2 - is there just an APK I can run to upgrade it to 1.6.2 or how does one go about doing that? Thanks!
