should be able to press the magnifying glass button to get the search in contacts.

in gparted format the sd card completely as fat32 then go back into recovery and go "Partition SD Card" -> "Partition SD" just use all the defaults unless you want more than 512MB for your ext partition..i use 1024 MB, up to you then -> "SD:ext2 to ext3" and you should be good.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Vietl3oi4eva:
how to use apps2sd?

i heard that you have to partition your sd card to use apps2sd, is this true?

if so how do i partition my sd card?

(sorry if this has been asked b4, I'm a newb and trying to learn)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] venumx:
read my last post...right above yours. dont worry about partitioning it in gparted first tho, just the part from recovery...

BACK UP YOUR SD CARD FIRST
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mmabryxo:
I rooted my htc hero & i never was able to put a custom rom on it i did the root right and everything but so since i couldn't put a custom rom on it i decided to just using the leaked version of 2.1 from sprint on my phone it works great i love it but neways i try to go into recovery mode a red traingle shows up with a (!) inside of it and its telling me E can't open cache recovery command its like i have no recovery image can someone help me i need to unroot to send my phone in for warranty.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mmabryxo:
Im sorry that i didn't write out right for you. I was in a rush so i totaly apolgize i have been to the guide to unroot my phone and it did not work. i have tryed everything i really need someones help.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Vietl3oi4eva:
i saw your post right after i posted mine and now i feel dumb :(

thanks for clarifying though!

one last question though, can you un-partition your sd card?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jerry43812:
cmd prompt

type in cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools

type adb devices, make sure your hero shows as a device

then type adb logcat

simple. Watching mine go by now.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sporkman:
try logcat -d
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jmxp69:
Always have that on. Don't think it's been turned off on my phone since the day I rooted.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jeb0921:
For those of you who are trying to find the extra HTC Widgets, just do a search for HTC Corporation in Market.

The ones showing are:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] jmxp69:
adb logcat

or adb shell

Does anyone have the expresso bottom bar file?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jerry43812:
What's the point in the -d ?

Anyways... I wiped SD, Dalvik, and system, and I am now loading r5 to the phone now. Let's see what happens.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Clipt:
has anyone done this update without wiping?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] posguy99:
There's a reason why the forum has a thread search function. You should really learn how to use it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rechlin:
Yes, and I found them, but they won't install.

It downloads them just fine, but then it puts the triangle with the exclamation mark in my notification bar, with the message that installation failed.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chocmatic:
anyone having issues seeing some of their purchased apps?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] riggsandroid:
Won't sync for me, and no WiFi on. I'll try putting it in airplane mode, see if that works.

Any other ideas?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jerry43812:
Don't do the PRL update through the phone's option, it will give you that 27392 one that sends you into constant digital roaming. Ugh.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] looneylu:
for those having trouble syncing facebook...

I got it to work by downloading minfreemanagerfrom the market. I set it to default. Removed my facebook account, added it back, and my contacts all synced withing 3 minutes. after you can set you minfree to aggressive again
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jeb0921:
Yeah, I get the same results here. Bummer.

If anyone has the HTC Widgets that they can post, we might be able to push them.

Have you tried mini info widget. That is the one I use. It has battery with % and also shows your internal memory and sd card memory in a widget the size of the HTC battery widget.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mercado79:
It took some work, but... I just set up my login info in Facebook for HTC Sense. Hit Sync. Opened up the contacts list and scrolled through it. Unchecked Facebook sync. Rebooted. Re-enabled Facebook sync. Scrolled through my contacts. Went back to Facebook sync and manually hit sync. What a mess!

No way of knowing exactly what fixed it, but... sync is finally working. So, yeah... it will work eventually. Just seems to take some time.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] muppetman462:
I dialed out with Google voice, and it did work! The screen is a bit different. I have a "speech bubble" telling me that I was dialing out with my google number.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] revlayle:
wow - except for uninstalling some sprint apps i never use, this one is working great so far

EXCEPT

as other people say - Facebook doesn't seem to sync. It says it syncs my contacts... but I get nothing in my contact list for Facebook.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] revlayle:
I'll try this - better than nothing - esp. if it is a one time thing
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whatsleft4her:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] mmabryxo:
i tryed to use the ruu 1.5 to go back it gives me a error message of 140 cannot run this comand
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smw6180:
Yep. Just set everything to 0 (swap and ext2) and leave the remainder for fat32.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bklynfire:
first thanx for replying

when I open the contacts there is no magnifier I can see at all

2) when I restored all my contacts, it automaticly changed from phone contacts to google contacts, how can I change it all back (not by doing indavidually)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] venumx:
so does your phone boot? if so reflash a new recovery image over the one you have now just to get a working recovery and then work from there.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] venumx:
the one to the left and above the end call key.

as for the contacts i dont see the way i used to be able to do it with sync groups so i have no idea.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Vietl3oi4eva:
-Does it matter if i partition the sd card before or after i downloaded apps onto my internal memeory?

-After i partition the sd card do i just move app2sd from the Dconfig and reboot my phone?

-After i move the apps to my sd card does it automatically free up my internal memory that was used to hold the apps on my phone?

also my htc facebook does not seem to sync all my contacts to facebook, is there a fix for this?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] venumx:
-No

-Yes

-Yes

what do you mean? if your LowMemKiller is set to Less or More it might be stopping it from syncing, try setting it to stock and see what happens
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Vietl3oi4eva:
my lowmemkiller?

i haven't changed any settings, i just flashed the rom
[Hero CDMA Android Development] venumx:
DConfig, on the bottom right is lowmemkiller, try setting it to stock
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Vietl3oi4eva:
just tried that and it still doesn't sync all of my contacts? is is set at low as the default?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] EZ2Hate:
Installing Themes DCUpdater

I'm trying to use DCUpdater to install the JsChiSurf Rotary Lockscreen. It seems to d/l fine, then reboots to recovery. Very quickly "Copying Files" comes up then it goes back to the recovery menu. Once the phone reboots the lockscreen hasn't changed. Am I missing a step?

Thanks

[Hero CDMA Android Development] riggsandroid:
search for "remove htclockscreen.apk"

Will provide your solution.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bklynfire:
when I press that key, it searches with voice

in the 1.5 rom when you hit options there was a feature called search
[Hero CDMA Android Development] EZ2Hate:
Ah, thanks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] venumx:
yes the default is "low"...i wasnt sure what it was that solved the issue for me the two things i did was change lowmemkiller to stock and i also downloaded the facebook app from the market. its all syncing fine now, so i would just try downloading the app from the market...but now that i look at it, it only syncs A - J nothing after that lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] venumx:
really? for my its a text / voice search, so you can type in the field ill attach a screenshot of what mine looks like...

one is from the contacts and one is on the main screen from pressing the magnifying glass hard key

Htc logo

I am running damagecontrols newest rom, and attempted to use a theme from the dcupdater app. I was able to download the theme, then it said it had to reboot. The phone rebooted and has been stuck on the htc logo for the last 10 minutes. At first I had my phone plugged into the wall charger but I removed the phone from the charger and went to hboot and ran recovery. I started the recovery and it remains stuck on the htc logo for the last 12 minutes. Any advice if this is normal or anyway to get my phone past the (black) htc logo
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chugger93:
In the default browser, if you goto google.com and type in something, the little square search button doesnt work whatsoever.

Bug? maybe
[Hero CDMA Android Development] omar89:
The phone battery just died if that is any help on finding out what is wrong with my phone thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mattcoz:
What happened to the Gallery?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mmabryxo:
The phone it's self works. It doesn't have the normal recovery thing that it had it will boot but i get a message that says E can't open cache recovery command and when you hold down home and end it shows a Red traingle with a (!). i don't understand & i have no idea to flash a new recovery image im pretty dumb im sorry. i used to root and unroot my mytouch all the time but the hero is giving me problems

Bluetooth issues?

Anyone having blue tooth issues? I am loving this ROM although no matter what version of 2.1 ROM I try, my home wireless BT system (the cordless phones automatically link to my Hero via BT) does not connect. I am able to connect to other blue tooth devices though. I go back to any 1.5 ROM and I do not have any problems with this...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] heroid007:
Battery life!!!!???

I have seen some users claiming 35 hrs batter life with one charge on here, can you please share the settings so others can improve on their own? Also, how much have you really used in those 35 hrs of uptime? I mean what is the awake time on your phone? I am really curious ..... I probably get about 18hrs total with awake time possibly around 7-8hrs!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Turdburglar:
Can anyone tell me where I might find a stock keyboard "latinime.apk" that will work with this rom? I deleted the one I had like an idiot. And I'm having a bit of trouble finding it in the new roms with asop look. They seem to have renamed or moved it, including icerom and purehero. I can't seem to find it in those. I tried the one from darchdroid but it force closes instantly in this rom. Thanks in advance.

any help how to get it back????
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flexte:
no problem with my headset but there is a problem connecting to my car. it hs to be turned off and on a few times to work.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] BZWingZero:
I'm just using the default settings. However, I keep almost nothing running in the background (just locale), and I keep wifi and bluetooth off. Also, I barely use my phone for calls or web browsing, so nearly all my battery is used for standby. Since last reboot, I'm at 101:38:50 Up Time and only 9:09:40 Awake. I really don't use my phone that much.

/just charged after 1day 14hrs 32mins unplugged (100%-15%alert).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] heroid007:
Now that makes sense! I was always curious if someone used the phone regularly and still got 35hrs between charge and battery drains....!!! Maybe another reason my battery dies soon could be the bad reception I have at my work place! Most of the times I am on 1x ....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ahmadshawki:
A few questions...

The members of this forum made me the happiest man on earth, when I first used an imate and now on the Sprint Hero. So, I have some questions for you:

1. Is there a way to stop certain services from running at the start up without a third party app?

2. Is there a way to prevent certain programs from running except when used, like imusic or shopsavvy or news & weather, also without a third party app?

3. I don't use Google Talk, can I remove it?

That's all for now...

Footprints reloaded and is working but NO MAPS - What happened

I just finished tweaking out this new rom and it works great. So I decided to put back on an app that I liked and used. So I got the .apk and the widget and put them back in the system/app directory. The program loads and runs, the gps comes on and everything but the map doesn't appear. The grids are there and the pointer but no map. Anyone else have this problem?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mslisaj:
Can't uninstall a program..... Is it the Rom?

I have this rom working perfectly but I am having trouble with the footprints program that I put back in. Well I went int to the system\app directory and removed the widget and .apk for the footprints and the program is still there. I have rebooted the phone, looked to the directories and the program is gone but it still runs? What's up with that? Any help here would be appreciated.......

Lisa
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Rizzy6:
How do I change the background the rom comes with? I can't change it to any of the HTC wallpapers or my own picture. I do not have JIT enabled.

Also, I installed the JsChiSurf clear lock screen with two tabs and it initially came with a clear battery indicator that sat on top of the date/time but that dissappeared shortly after. Tried re-downloading but that did not work.

Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] posguy99:
There is no reason to do this.

There is no reason to do this.

Only if you want the Market to stop working.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] posguy99:
Wow, first search result in Google, too. Guess that's... well... just not the right one or something.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] SweepinJR:
Still not having much luck with the Bluetooth. The bluetooth functioned better for me on 2.08 than on 2.08.1

The phone connects but when I receive calls they don't push the sound through my stereo. 2.08 did it ok. Still have the same issue with it not noticing that it has been disconnected when I get back in my truck, constantly have to toggle the bluetooth off and back on each time.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chfields:
On to more important issues, I ran DCpowertop and it seems these 2 items gp_timer & smsm_dev are creating most of my wakeups. I searched the thread but haven't found an answer to what these are and what they do and why they keep waking up the phone....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] SweepinJR:
I ran it too, got the same results. No idea what to do with the suggestions and data it provided.

Question for you, what were your stats for wakeup-from idle-per second? Mine was 81.3

Did you get these suggestions as well?

Suggestion: Enable the CONFIG_HPET_TIMER kernel configuration option.

Without HPET support the kernel needs to wake up every 20 milliseconds for

some housekeeping tasks.

Suggestion: Enable the CONFIG_ACPI_BATTERY kernel configuration option.

This option is required to get power estimages from PowerTOP

Suggestion: Enable the CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND kernel configuration option.

This option will automatically disable UHCI USB when not in use, and may

save approximately 1 Watt of power.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chfields:
Mine is 54.7 and I have the same suggestions....

Sprint HERO - Incoming Call Vibrate

Hello, I did a search and saw other posts about this but they appeared to be dated 2008ish.

I recently installed v2.08.1 on my Sprint HTC Hero. I've checked all of my settings and the device will not vibrate at all for anything. It worked fine with v1.5 of Android though. Any ideas you can give me to fix this?

Thanks much :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darthjoe:
Hey all...just took the plunge last night as I didn't want to wait again for 2.1 official to come out.

The latest ROM works great, hats off to the developers. My issue is with wireless tethering. I have 1.6 installed, and it works great, with the exception of WEP encryption. No matter how many times I try to set WEP with a password, none of the connecting devices show the connection as having encryption. Is this a bug, has it been fixed in a later version, or am I just missing something?

Thanks for any replies. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] blu3g:
Regarding your background, the only thing I can think of would be that your settings for autokiller are too aggressive and it's killing the process before it's done changing the background. I know it happens to me all the time and I need to go change my settings back to stock before changing the background, then change it back to what I had before.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wctom:
WEP doesn't work - known bug. I just use "access control" to shut out others.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wadeheisen:
WEP isn't secure anyway. It can be broken in as little as 10 seconds if the commands are scripted properly (I know, I teach wireless penetration as part of my curriculum). Use some other form of access control.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Rizzy6:
Downloaded autokiller

How can I change these settings?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bklynfire:
ok here is my verdict

I installed this rom after two days, maybe I am doing something wrong, but after I restored all my data (contacts, sms etc) the phone is very slow, the lagging when trying to use sms is nerve wrecking, same with my contacts that everything got messed up (changed from phone contacts to google contacts)

is there any tweaks I can do to make things faster???? because like this I will have to go back to the old rom :mad:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ahmadshawki:
Well, I sometimes find some apps working in the background and I had to stop them myself. Is it OK to leave them ? I mean won't they affect the performance and speed of the device, memory wise?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ghuqu:
I don't use any app/task killers on my phone, and everything works great. My battery life is superb, and I have virtually no lag while running programs.

The coolest thing about Linux is it knows how to use it's resources as needed.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ahmadshawki:
Well, I don't use any task killers either. Still, my battery life sucks.

Recently, I installed Appswipe t(which is supposed to be like Alt & Tab in windows) and it showed some running services or processes that I never launched. So, I thought may be this is the reason that my battery doesn't last long enough.

One last thing, is there any special settings in your device? Do you use A2SD? What are your DCconfig settings, if you don't mind?

Thanks in advance.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TrevE:
new version of DConfig coming to a DCUpdater near you in a couple hours :)

Major overhaul is finished, looks like were calling it 2.0. Added in a bunch of advanced options that should let you raep your battery or conserve it. It also reads/sets configs properly and most settings dont even require a reboot anymore. This will be an update only to 2.08.1. As for those wondering we are adding more features to the base dc rom & dconfig and will hopefully have a full rom released soon.

I also want to put out a big thanks to everyone that has donated to myself & damage. I know personally it helps pay for the beer required for me to write java :) Thanks again guys
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Scalpel78:
I'm also stuck on the HTC logo during boot. I've got a Norwegian/European HTC Hero. Guess it's also called the GSM version.

I've booted into ClockworkMod Recovery v1.8.1.4, have run both "wipe data/factory reset" and "wipe cached partition", before choosing "apply sdcard:update.zip".

The ROM seems to apply without any errors or warnings, but when the phone boots it just sits on the HTC logo screen. I've waited for one hour before pulling the battery.

Any tips on how to fix this?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] lordofokra:
This ROM is CDMA Hero only, we got our own forum. Yours is still called HTC Hero: G2 Touch (http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=508)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mjpuczko:
woohoo! thanks so much. my battery life is quite good right now.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] heroid007:
Track ball light!!!!

I am just curious if there was a setting for track ball light to light up for messages and reminders as it does with Nexus one? Is it even an option in this ROM?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darthjoe:
I realize this, but it's typically better than just showing an open network. It provides a little deterrent from people just hopping onto your broadcast.

Thanks for the responses though.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] blu3g:
If you have the app called autokiller, open it up and hit your menu button. Select presets from the menu and either put it to moderate or system default. Change your background, then change autokiller settings back.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chugger93:
Does DC's ROM support overclocking, like with SETCPU? I wanted to try to increase the CPU on my hero
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ghuqu:
Check for programs that automatically update and set them for as far possible into the future as possible. i.e. twitter app can auto sync every 15 mins, but I set my for every couple of hours. If I want to check it, I manually update within the app itself.

Also, search the forum here for battery fixes. I know I've read some stuff about it.

As far as my DConfig settings, I've got A2SD, ZipAlign On Boot, Move Dalvik to SD all checked. My Dalvik heap is at 16 mb, and Less is selected under LowMemKiller.

Good Day

Can get dcpowertop to work

For some reason when I try to run dcpowertop from ADB Shell I get dcpowertop not found. Can someone please help me? I even tried downloading revision 5 of the SDK
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bertoch:
I've seen posts from previous DC versions indicating that SetCPU caused problems. However, I've been running it for the past week with DCv2.08.1 and haven't seen a problem yet. YMMV.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thajacka:
does anyone have the install file for memkiller, and/or does it work on this rom?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TrevE:
=-o start getting excited
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chugger93:
What did you overclock yours too? Is it stable?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darkdetroit:
can you tell us what new updates that have plan for your ROM
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TrevE:
Today will most likely be a dconfig only update. I put alot of time into this instead of the base rom. We are hoping to put a full rom out, add in another set of dconfig features & announce some other stuff we have in the pipeline _very_ soon though.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] riggsandroid:
probably a bit handcuffed by Sprint's lack of updates....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] riggsandroid:
Looks pretty polished. Getting excited. This will be a simple flash over existing w/out wiping right?

Waiting for an Engagenet report stating that the newest DC ROM will be available on 5/14. Maybe even a forged letter to a Best Buy employee... That would get everyone talking....lol
