Is there any way that I can turn the trackball light off? I use the hero as an e-book reader, and the brightness of the light really hurts the eyes in a dark room. I know it's supposed to do that when the lights are dim, but is there a way that I can just make it non functional? I'm using a strip of duct tape over it now, haha. If I could get this deactivated, this would be my perfect rom. I heard that there was some audio fix that would kill the light, but although I have no audio issues, I'm really interested in that side effect, so I'm hoping Damage releases that fix when he returns.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mountaindont:
unfortunatly the light sensitive trackball led is CONSIDERED the fix.

ew
[Hero CDMA Android Development] BOOGIE_BOTZ:
Sorry flipz :o Anywho, is anyone having reception issues? Seems I'm getting 0-1 bars max in my neighborhood when I should be getting 3-4. Also, it's not letting me sign into Google and sync :(

please help, live wallpaper link broken

i seriously want live wallpapers, but the link provided does not work. please point me in the right direction?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DozeBeatS:
Good luck. No one answers this question.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] celith:
LWP

I grabbed this zip when Damage first posted it up. No idea if it's changed since then, but if any of the people looking for LWP want to give it a shot, you're more than welcome.

As always, nandroid first. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DozeBeatS:
Thanks. But now I cant sync my Hero with Windows 7 for some reason. It works when it wants, and when it actually works, it disconnects on me. Any other way to install this?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ahmadshawki:
Need help from the experts...

Is it me or is this DC release damn slow and laggy?

I use the stock SD card (2GB) after partitioning to swap (32MB), ext3 (512) and Fat (the rest). I'm using A2SD 2.5. Everything is working great but very slow and laggy as I said before (to be honest, not always but most of the time). PRL is 60664 and the internal memory now is 119 MB. No live wallpapers.

What should I do?

Is it the memory card, Should I change it? Should I move the cache back to the internal memory (how to do this)? Should I move all the aps back and try to keep only the necessary ones only (also how to do that)? Should I downgrade to 2.07 or 2.06 (DC updater is the only thing that doesn't work and always gives failure in checking for updates)? Should I use one of the automatic task killers (and which is the best, though I hate to use them)? Should I reflash (and how to back up my apps 'coz I don't want to spend all the time setting them up again)?

Please help me, I love my hero and I think it is one of the best phones in the market, but now I'm considering going back to the stock (though I think this will be the worst thing I'll ever do to my beloved Hero).

Thanks in advance...

As a heads up, the first link isn't working for me. But this is going to be the first custom ROM I flash, it seems worth it.

phone keeps rebooting

any reason why my phone continually reboots if left in sleep mode?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] richyrich909:
thanks a lot!!! *clicks*
[Hero CDMA Android Development] richyrich909:
hmm, so far only the galaxy lwp works, but lemme do a reboot and see how that works.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
I know I have been pretty inactive here, but that doesn't mean that I haven't been busy!

I have been super busy at work lately so I haven't been able to dedicate the time I've wanted into the ROM. I've also been working on something very big that isn't finished yet but you will see soon.

The server is also fixed now. Watch carefully for updates. I promise, you'll be glad you did.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] animal7296:
Awesome to hear. Take your time damage. Your work is like art, you cant rush it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] prateekandroid:
I have flashed this ROM recently. Everything looks great except that I don't see Sync groups option under People > Groups > Menu? I want to sync only certain groups but there is no option there anymore. It was available under Stock 1.5.

whiteonline has mentioned in this thread (post 716)

But that doesn't fix it for me.

Please help. Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DozeBeatS:
Anyone have problems with the Live wallpaper not staying? It keeps resetting back to my normal wallpaper.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] richyrich909:
yeah, so far so good for me after a complete reboot, but, my phone keeps powering off when it's in sleep mode for too long, anyone else having this issue or know a fix? :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Shaihalud9:
So yeah... that Roaming issue.. Still have it.. I have PRL 60664 and yet I constantly roam.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] SirRipo:
I kept getting a "Data Call Failure: Error Code 67. Registration failure. Your PCS Vision username and/or password may be incorrect. Please try again" message. It caused the mobile network to disconnect for a few minutes, but it would return afterwards. I restarted the phone, and it seems to work fine now, but any insight into the problem could be helpful.

market help

Whats up with the market is anyone having problems with the market when i go to the app it takes some time for the market to show my downloads and the screen is blank for a minute please help
[Hero CDMA Android Development] slaakker:
Damageless, we appreciate your hard work. You have made many of us excited about our Hero's again. I have had no issues with your rom.

Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chfields:
Great to see your still around.....Currently running your 2.07.2 with Blue theme V4 and godzsons icons and loving it. Thanks again for all you do.....interested to see what you have upcoming......
[Hero CDMA Android Development] SamaelZ:
WB

Glad to see you're still on it Damage! Any word yet on a theme server?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rswheaton:
HOORAY!!! Damage is back! Still loving 2.07.2 but always excited to see an update. New changes for me this week... running auto killer on extreme and my phone absolutely FLIES!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] barnacles10:
Quick question, the LWP is flashed the same way as the ROM?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] uf20wop:
hey, just installed this, worked awesome and it was really easy to do the whole process, even though i'm an android noob

question about android though, is there any way in the landscape qwerty mode to enable spellcheck while disabling text prediction? i feel like all the prediction does it make the phone lag
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Tyson716:
If this message keeps returning, it may be for 1 of 2 reasons. 1 is that you ticked the "Internet sharing" option when connecting the usb cord to the computer. This will give you that error. After a restart I believe you should be ok, as it should be a temporary error. Now, the 2nd reason is that something happened with your account that your Sprint PCS username/password are in fact incorrect. I had this issue when changing my hero over to a newer hero because of the dust under the screen issue. If you go to settings-about phone-network, check the "Current username" and make sure you recognize it. Call Sprint ADVANCED technical support and they will change it to the correct name/password for you. They fixed it up for me in a 15 minute call. Hope these suggestions work out for you.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] watzone69:
Looking forward to it!

I hope you don't mind but I stole a png out of DCUpdater to use as my sig.:p
[Hero CDMA Android Development] frazmanw:
Did you ever fix this.... I am having the same problem. all previous roms, I flashed boot animations fine. but not with Aloysys 2.06 stuck on nexus boot
[Hero CDMA Android Development] riggsandroid:
You have to go into /system/media/ and remove the bootanimation.zip file in there, or whatever the actual name is.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] noobmodder:
Quick question: In accounts and sync, there is an account for "Weather." What exactly is this tied to updating? If my thinking is correct, it controls the syncing of the "News and Weather" app. Is this correct? If so, disabling it would have no effect on the HTC flip clock widgets weather updating, right?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] riddlebox1980:
Ha! Damageless, I knew as soon as I sat down and figure out how to get apps2sd working on my phone, then go app crazy installing anything I could, you would come out with something new lol! I cant wait to do it all again, one thing, I did notice was the major slow down after awhile using the rom, and the DCupdater still isnt working for me.. I hope someone can help me out with that thanks!

Edit: Is it safe to use the update method to update the PRL?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ziggy682:
No, that sync setting controls the HTC Weather application, which the flip clock also uses. The News and Weather app is a vanilla Anrdoid application that has it's own sync settings within the app itself, and does not tie into sense.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DozeBeatS:
Total android noob here...I tried installing the Android Pee boot animation and now I have no boot screen. I thought I did everything right in cmd but I guess not. Any help?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] riggsandroid:
Did you remove bootanimation.zip from the /system/media folder?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] noobmodder:
Awesome, thanks for clearing that up! I thought that since it was a whole 'nother account within the settings menu(that didn't exist in 1.5), that it was tied into Android itself, and therefore went along with the News and Weather App.

I was hoping the case was as I assumed in my first post, but I'm glad I know now for sure that it isn't.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DozeBeatS:
How do I remove it?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] riggsandroid:
Well you made a nandroid before you started to push the bootscreen right? I don't want to be responsible for causing any problems, because it worked for me, but can't guarantee anything....

get to cmd and to your android-sdk-tools folder

adb remount

cd /system/media

ls (should list 3 or 4 files, one of which is bootanimation.zip)

cp bootanimation.zip /sdcard

(this is to keep a backup if you want to go back to the original for some reason)

rm bootanimation.zip

hopefully you've already pushed the other bootscreen info.

bluetooth help

after flashing newest damage rom 2.07.2 cant get bluetooth to towrk with my jawbone headset. Have a HTC Sprint Hero. Let me know if anyone has gotten this fixed. Thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] okcppcnut:
I'm having a similar issue. Random reboots thru the day. It caused me some serious issues last night. It rebooted just as I tried to call 9-1-1. I may look into another ROM until damageless is able to get the next update out.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DozeBeatS:
When i enter cd /system/media it says "the system cannot find the path specified".
[Hero CDMA Android Development] subcypher:
I'm not certain why people are having so many problems. I rooted my Sprint Hero, backed up, put this ROM in, carved out all the Sprint apps (NFL, NASCAR, Weather, Navigation, Stocks, etc) and then added all the programs I wanted from the market. Everything is working great for me, even WiFi tethering and Bluetooth. Google Nav brought me home the other night. Google Goggles found a brand name on a product for me that I did not know. I've always thought the Hero was awesome, but Damageless made it even more so. Thank you, sir.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] riggsandroid:
sorry about that.

type

adb remount (press enter)

adb shell (press enter) <---forgot this

cd /system/media (press enter)

there you go.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DozeBeatS:
Ok now on this step "cp bootanimation.zip /sdcard" Im getting cannot create blah blah blah read only file system.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] riggsandroid:
Do you have your phone set as a disk drive? Make it charge only.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] richyrich909:
i really like this rom, but yeah, the only way i seem to avoid the problem is by setting my screen to never go to sleep. which isn't a huge deal because my phone's plugged into a charger almost all the time, i.e.: home, car, work, but still this would be perfect if i could put my phone to sleep and have it not turn off.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] okcppcnut:
SU access issues?

I cant get Shoot Me or Drocap to work. I have clicked allow always in SU. Anyone else having issues?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DozeBeatS:
It was set to USB mode, I switched it to charge only, followed all your steps, and still no boot screen. I mustve messed something up when I first started trying to figure it out. Any way to check what should be where? If it helps...in my system/media folder, the only thing in there is an audio folder.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] barnacles10:
Once again, great ROM damageless. Thanks. Anxiously awaiting your customizations and hopefully an expresso build?

Also, I've noticed HUGE battery improvements, unless I'm just looking for changes, but it seems dramatically increased
[Hero CDMA Android Development] BOOGIE_BOTZ:
Anyone successfully able to sync their FB in "FB for HTC Sense?"
[Hero CDMA Android Development] riggsandroid:
What bootscreen did you try to put on? Want to gchat? PM me.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] barnacles10:
I was coming on to ask this same question. I "synced" successfully, but I only have about 15 facebook friends that successfully synced, and only one of them is in my phonebook. I'd like to get the pictures back.. any fix or way to make this work?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] BOOGIE_BOTZ:
Nothing even shows up for mine...and I'm using the "brute" way
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NotoriousPTG:
I can't get internet sharing to work on this. Keep getting "data call failure" on the phone. Anybody have it working? I need tethering.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] samfreese:
Great ROM, works awesome! LWP download isn't working though.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] barnacles10:
What is this brute way you mention? I have tried manually syncing multiple times, and the only thing I got is those 15 that synced one of the times I manually pushed it
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mountaindont:
damage buddy

PLEASE post a new thread when you make your next update

dear god...PLEASE:p
[Hero CDMA Android Development] BOOGIE_BOTZ:
Remove your account on FB HTC Sense

Sign back in through FB for HTC Sense

Hit the sync button about 5 times and just let it sit there for about 15 mins or so, check on to see how many people synced, and repeat until you get it

It works on fresh 2.0d as well as regaw's, not very successful with DC

[Hero CDMA Android Development] bthessel:
Anyone have luck with Swype?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mem_reddog:
I am having a slight problem on 2.07.2 under the people application, when I select menu>view, there is no option to view facebook contacts. Anyone else with this problem? and perhaps share how you fixed it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DozeBeatS:
Ok, after a ton of help from Riggsandroid, I still cant figure out why I have no boot screen. Its just blank. I did a re-flash over the original rom and nothing, not even the normal boot screen works. Im not sure if I deleted something accidentally, but I simply cannot get a bootscreen to work. Any help out there?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] okcppcnut:
Re: [ROM] DamageControl v2.07.2 | Now with DCUpdater/More Optimized | Android 2.1

I have. Delete your facebook for sense info and link. I also uninstalled facebook for android app. Reboot, add facebook for sense account. It takes quite a while but if you leave it alone it will all sync. Reinstall facebook app.

Market Fails To Initialize

When I attempt to launch the Market immediately after flashing 2.07.02, it starts loading the Terms of Service window, flashes a white screen, and then starts loading the Terms of Service window again. It continues this loop indefinitely and I can't gain access to the Market. Everything else seems to operate perfectly.

I'm flashing over to DC after encountering the audio driver issue on Fresh. I wasn't able to apply either fix while running the Fresh ROM, and seeing how almost everyone who posted that was running DC was able to apply either fix flawlessly, I decided to give this ROM a shot.

Has anyone else encountered a similar issue, or just have an idea as to what may be causing the Market app problems?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] METHOD1911:
Re: [ROM] DamageControl v2.07.2 | Now with DCUpdater/More Optimized | Android 2.1

I had the same problem but I just let it load and download my apps but after one day the market just updated on its own

[Hero CDMA Android Development] Otterski:
Are you referring to my post? Sorry, it wasn't clear... :p
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Otterski:
Aaaaaand yiph! It just resolves itself over time. Huh. Interesting, that.

Audio fix applied smoothly, all my applications are still here and functioning normally, and the market works! Translation: excellent ROM.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] meekell:
I was having several issues with this ROM which forced me to factory reset and dalvik wipe. After doing so and installing 2.07.2, Facebook sync is working like a charm. I'm getting notifications several times a day. I have around 70 friends.

I wish I could only be notified for the people in my phone book.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] meekell:
Not sure where I found this apk but it seems to be the only one I can get to work.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] joe.alsobrook:
BLACKLIST???

I really need this on my phone.... I'm running dcv2.07.2 Any ideas???:confused:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bcnice20:
search the market theres a few apps that do that if im not mistaken i could of swore i saw a function somewhere within setting though where you could blacklist numbers but im running zens mt slide rom right now and im not seeing it could be diff on damage though
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ziggy682:
Facebook syncing problems are caused by the aggressive memory killer settings. You have to change those back to stock in order for Facebook (and Peep for that matter) to sync correctly 100% of the time. The aggressive memory killer settings kill the tasks off in the background.

You can change these settings by manually pulling the gumbo.sh file and editing it, or by running Autokiller or a similar app from the Market.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] barnacles10:
How would a task killer help?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] barnacles10:
Make sure you are wiping from your bootloader then flashing
[Hero CDMA Android Development] VirusZer0:
Are you able to use the USB tether feature on this ROM? and with linux ubuntu?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ahmadshawki:
I'm not a professional ...

If you need to make a contacts' blacklist for your phone, you have two options to my knowledge:

1. One by one: In every contact, if you press edit, you'll find an option that says something like "send this contact directly to the voice mail".

2. A group as a whole: Through Google Voice, where you can specify a different mail voice message for every group and something called screen the callers or even send them to voice mail directly.

I know it is impossible to get an invitation from Google Voice, but I got one from eBay myself for $2.5 no tax no shipping and instant delivery.

That's all I know. I'm still new to this, but may be there are some apps in the market.

Hope this was useful to you...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ahmadshawki:
A quick question...

The DC updater does not work. Every time I press "Check now" it says failure after a very long time.

Is this an issue or is it just my luck?

I want it to work since I read what Damageless said about checking for updates.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DozeBeatS:
Yup. Didnt work.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tatonka_hero:
I don't think it works due to some server issues, and Damageless has been pretty busy with other work lately to get it back up. It DID work, since I used it to update to 2.07.2
[Hero CDMA Android Development] riggsandroid:
We tried wiping dalvik, but he was trying to avoid wiping data....

any ideas?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smw6180:
Did you remove bootanimation.zip?

If so and that didn't work, try a wipe data. He can always restore a nandroid (I hope). If the wipe data doesn't work, I've got no ideas.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smackinisaiah:
Is it just me or did this ROM get so much slower? I've been using this ROM since shortly after the first version was released and have been so faithful to it and loved it but man, I am getting SO frustrated as of late. Typing a text message is the biggest pain in the ass, and so laggy. Anyone else having this problem? Even when I close out a lot of stuff in ATK I'm still getting supreme lag. I'm gonna wipe and reflash. Hopefully that'll work. But Damage, thank you so very much for this thing. No matter what, I'll love it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] derekwilkinson:
Do you have more apps installed? or apps2sd?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tatonka_hero:
first of all, get rid of the task killer and let the OS manage the resources the way it was intended to.

Second, get rid of the xda keyboard, or at least disable some of the features that are on at the moment, and typing will speed up quite a bit.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Zombie Scott:
I am beginning to have issues as well. I don't have very many apps loaded, but things I use often either force close or don't work correctly. For example, the Engadget app constantly force closes. Latitude never updates unless I force it. I had none of these issues with 2.06, except the laggy keyboard.

I am with you, still love the ROM.

So, what is the best way to remove the task killer that is included?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jonest:
Best Rom I've ever used

The Rom is great but one problem is that the lwp link is not working. Is there anyway you can post a mirror link?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gottria:
I jumped back to 2.06 and it runs much faster that 2.07.2. Even 2.07 had problems with me.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
Alright guys, its about time to announce what's going on.

I'm proud to announce that TrevE and I have teamed up to work on DamageControl. He and I have been actively working on a new version which we are planning on releasing on Friday the 30th (as long as everything stays on schedule). We have tons of fixes, lots of tweaks, and new features in this upcoming version and I know that y'all will love it.

So here's to a bright future for DamageControl and a big welcome to TrevE!

[Hero CDMA Android Development] cirehawk:
