I guess when you say ram you mean internal memory. Ram and internal memory where the apps are stored are two different things. Youre Ram will go down if youre running several apps and processes simultaneously regardless of the amount of memory available for apps or if Dalvik Cache is stored in the sd or not.

Moving Dalvik Cache to SD has the potential to create problems unless you have a class 6 or higher sd card. I own a class 6 card but I still get better performance without moving Dalvik to SD. Even flipz recommends not moving the Dalvik, only move the apps themselves. Why do you think by default the DC roms have this option disabled??? In my case by just moving apps to sd I have enough space for all my apps and some space to play around with new one and at the same time I get a very stable OS.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] energizer1389:
Newbies,

Dont be disappointed with the Rom if:

You did not Wipe everything before flashing the rom

You moved Dalvik to SD and dont have a class 6 or higher msd card(Even with class 6 it still not stable)

If you installed an OC Kernel and dont have an app to control memory or apps (Ex. Autokiller)

If your pushing to use JIT even though you know its buggy and unstable at best
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Neotype33:
Dang-it! Damageless! Your forcing my hand to go out an get an EVO now. I was hoping to put it off some more with the awesome ROM's you have been providing. Thanks for all the great work on the Hero (and all those who helped you too)! Guess its time to put the old-girl down now....

;-D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dirkyd3rk:
First and foremost, they dont owe us anything, you should be glad they even offered us a final build, they could have left it that. They dont even owe us a farewell. What more do you want? If its that important to have every single bug in existence fixed then heres your time to shine and take initiative to learn how to fix them. If you miss damage and treve that much go get an evo :D

A lot of people, including me, are experiencing this problem and no one seems to know a definite cause (it could be related to the removal of certain stock apps)

Hopefully Treve or Damage can help us out, we may need to contact them personally and ask them for their help
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fifedogg:
This is the only problem I was having with the rom. My phone was running great but I cant handle the phone app FC'ing and not even knowing who called... I really hope they will have a fix for this. I'll probably try using the 2.08. version if they dont come up with one...

[Hero CDMA Android Development] aisseleacim03:
So have you deleted many stock apps? There is this wiki mod that is a great resource for which apps are safe to delete and which are not

I have not experienced this in particular but was getting foreclosed on other things due to some apps that I had deleted.

I flashed the ROM on top of the one I had, didnt wipe and now I have everything that I had deleted back with my settings as I had them and no more forecloses. I will begin deleting stock apps one by one and see what trigger the fore close.

If you haven't give it a shot.

Here is the link
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smw6180:
Well technically they DID say they weren't doing anything else on this rom. If you look at the subject of this thread it specifically states, 'Final Hero build'. That's fairly definitive to me.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Benduchi:
I wiped and reflashed and did not use the 768.zip or the 710.zip and so far no problems I think if you OC after this rom is what starts the problems so check it out and let us know if this helps anybody else
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ogboot:
it appears to have some major issues though, i'm still on 2.08 waiting for some updates :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jcf304:
Ok,

So far I tried all 3 OC kernels and used setcpu and OC. Both work. Setcpu being laggy when you use the sleep mode parameters. OC seems to work better but sucked my battery like a bat out of hell. 5 hours or so, when it usually lasts 12. Now the question is this, I've seen a few posts that say not to enable the sleep parameters? I thought that the battery to be underclocked while the phone is idle ( explaining the lag as the cpu steps up on awakening.) Now heres the rub. as the phone is overclocked I'm going to assume its using up more juice. Which will explain the drain as you use it ..so in use..the phone is going to be using up more battery than stock. Now assuming that is the case. The only way to compensate for that and give the battery a fighting chance is to underclock it when idle. Doing the opposite and using up even less battery when not running an active app ?

That is unless you get a larger battery. But Im not sure how that plays out since the stock battery gets crazy heat when it runs. Anyone have any thoughts on this? Im going to try to load the OC kernels and no widgets but does that mean the OC'ing is set to run without the apps ? Just want to be clear on this. Any feedback from the team would be awesome at this point. Thanks:)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Spikemonkey:
Read the last line of my post. Please don't get offended; that was never my intention. I don't demand anything. I would like some things. I am not like most every other person on here, demanding action. I always try to be polite and just ask. Like I basically said; they could tell me to go "F" myself and I would just have to live with it. I would never expect every single bug to be fixed, hell if HTC can't manage it in almost a year, how could I expect two guys doing this on the side to take care if it? I was just making a statement about what TrevE already said he would do. As for the learning to fix it myself, I wish I had the time; I really do. I do HVAC for a living, and after 6-7 days a week of crawling around in 170 degree attics; I barely have the energy or brain power to turn on the TV. So maybe come this Fall I will have a chance. And for the record, with my carrier, Ntelos, the Hero is my only choice for an Android phone. If I could, I would have an EVO right now.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thesparky007:
as far as i see i didnt remove anything that isnt safe to remove so i am not sure whats going on, if you do find out that its a removed app thats causing this let us all know please
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smw6180:
You could always put everything back that you took out and see if the problem goes away. If so then you can try removing apps one by one until/unless the problem comes back. Then you'll know if it was an app that caused it, and which one.

Ugh, I used to do that. Once it hits 80 outside it's 130 in the attic. I know when I came home I certainly wouldn't want to be dealing with this crap. I have Sprint and I'm not even getting an EVO...****, I just got this thing a few months ago. Yea, I've only got it for a year before upgrade but who knows what'll be out by then. What really makes me mad is my Hero and the EVO come out to cost me the same if I'd waited a little longer. That's some crap but I'll keep it. It's not a bad phone really, I'm running FrenchToast under and overclocked and it's working fantastic.

WHERE

Anyone having trouble using the WHERE application with DamageControl? For me, it FCs every time I run a search.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Epiphany1882:
I was skipped, so here we go again..lol

Questions:

1. Im having an issue with the wallpaper, (I cant get it off the black background with the tunnel look). I looked through all the responses, and even tried to filter results, but to no avail. I cant seem to figure out how to correct this issue so that I can put any wallpaper that I want at any time. I also dont want to lose sense. I like the widgets (I assume they are tied together).

I flashed 2.09 adn then i flashed lwp. now i cant change the wallpaper.

Edit: Wemt back to 2.08, still have the same problem.

Edit:I was told to try to wipe the htc sense data & reboot, did that, and now I cant use the htc widgets (clock/weather, etc.). how do i get this back!?!?!

2. What is JIT and how does it affect me? (good/bad, etc.)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Laguar:
1. Some LWP's don't work on the hero without a degree of skill (that i don't have) . Can you not change the wallpaper under any circumstances? Can you change to a regular picture (or one of the HTC wallpapers?) You shouldn't need to disable sense to make the LWPs work either. If you're having a problem that just won't go away I would recommending wiping everything and going back to basic rom, don't flash the LWP's and stick to a nice picture of a meadow for the time being.

2. JIT is http://lmgtfy.com/?q=JIT , if you don't know what it is, you probably don't need it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] revcp:
Back to 2.08

I did start having problems with 2.09 OC'ed, so I have returned to 2.08. As suggested, I put the 710 kernel on w/o an OC utility and things have been great (I'm getting 30+ hours with minimal use, 12 to 16 with numerous phone calls, emailing and some web surfing.). I also have my sd card on FAT32 and don't do any of the fancy stuff I don't understand anyway. The only mod I've done apart from OC is to ban HTC lockscreen in favor of Vanilla. Everything is fast and stable. I've not had one FC, freeze or lag in the last week.

Like most of you I am itching to make additional changes, but on reflection realize I don't need to. So as long as I stay away from playing with the thing for the sake of playing with it I'm fine. (that last sentence reads a bit awkward, but you know what I mean)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] subcypher:
The only thing I'm having an issue with is battery life. It's back to the battery life I had on 2.07. Whatever they changed in 2.08.01 nearly tripled my stand-by time and increased my usage time immensely. Now it's back to what it was when I used the Sprint official, which was terrible. I tried Juice Defender, but I didn't particularly care for it.

I know it's not a 100% awake time issue because I'm seeing my phone as up for 1:21:00 and only awake for 0:18:30. In that 18 minutes I've received 8 text messages, sent two and nothing else... I've lost 11% of my battery in that amount of time. I've used Spare Parts and the internal system settings menu to gather battery information. Most of this is being used by Phone Idle and Cell Standby, which is typical.

I know it's not a battery stat problem because I've done the battery recalibration process... twice... with each of my different batteries, even. I have the stock one and two el-cheapo batteries I got for a Touch Pro 2 from China. They are the same batteries I've always used and have recalibrated the phone to all of them at one point or another.

As I said, I'm not sure what is different, but the problem is back. I would consider going back to 2.08.01, but the cool stuff in 2.1 are just too cool to give up. I know that D and T are off to the Evo, so I'm not expecting a fix. I just wanted to point it out.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] startak11:
you are using 2.08.1 and WHICH? oc utility...i flashed the zip damage710 and it still reverts back to 548 and doesn't give an option for 710 after I've made one reboot. Does anyone have a reason for this?

Also, does your wireless tethering work in 2.08.1 with oc'd to 710? if so, which version the new one or the old hero 1.7 version?

thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] revcp:
I was having trouble with OC utilities, so I am using the 710 kernel from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=690238&highlight=710. It's my understanding that it defaults to 710 w/o having to use an OC utility. I have no need for wireless tethering so I am not using it.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] il_padrone:
This problem seems to keep occurring for some... in fact it has happened to me. The best solution for me (2.9.1, OC 786 set at 729) has been to use Advance Task Killer to KILLL Tether when I am finished.

Is anyone else have trouble flashing things like the black keyboard and/or phone pad... either from dcpdater or from the various ones in the forums... Every time i flash one I can't get a signal to make calls or sync gmail, contacts or anything. I would be interested to know if anyone else has had this problem so far.

Also to reiterate, Dirty Dirk and several others... WIPE EVERYTHING then install this rom and you SHOULD be good to go.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] xxxk15:
you could try to reflash it. I flashed this rom twice and the second time ran pretty smooth.Also when you flashed the rom you should wipe everything and if you can just redownload your apps, It might make things run smoother.

I finally made the jump yesterday and so far this has been just fine, for the most part.

Only big issue is I had to put dalvik on sd as my phone ran out of room (although I don't have that many apps). I'd like to not have to do that, but I can live with it that way too.

Battery seems a tad worse than 08.1, but I have been futzing with it more.

This build seems just as buggy as 08.1 but in different ways. Anyway I guess I'm done updating this thing as it's end of life basically.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] roadster92:
If he doesn't have A2SD then wiping EXT does not matter. He has nothing on EXT to begin with.

Best suggestion is to re-partition the SD card as follows:

1. partition SD in the recovery menu with swap 32MB, EXT with 512MB and the rest in Fat32.

2. In the same menu upgrade EXT2 to EXT 3

3. go back out and wipe as follows to make sure:

-wipe data

-wipe dalvik cache

-wipe EXT

make sure that you copy the 2.09.1 ROM to the SD card and flash it. That's should have clean installation with A2SD enable. Make sure your battery is at least when 80% or more when doing ROM flash.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] Epiphany1882:
One down, several others to go.

OK,

1. For HTC widgets not appearing, clearing the data on HTC Sense works. Clear it, then reboot. Repeat a few times as necessary (I had to do it 3 times to make everything workin good). Try it, it does work!!

Thanks to all for the suggestions.

2. NEW PROBLEM:

Other than the random FC and not being able to access some people in my address book, the biggest thing that I am running into, and have searched extensively on, is the Facebook Sync Issue. Its not doing it. I have cleared the data, setup several times, rebooted, etc. There is still no definitive answer as to how to fix this issue with out completely wiping the SD Card, clearing Davlik, etc and reinstalling the ROM. Id like to avoid this, as it has taken me long enough to get other things working. Any ideas people? Anything??
