No timeframes as of yet....still working on a lot of new stuff. Just put out a ROM for the EVO. Plan on getting it still and want the ROM up and ready for when I root the sucka :) I'm still just a hair short of buying the EVO...and unfortunetly, everyday the Hero on Ebay is looking better and better :o All the small donations were coming in and building up, but they have stopped and I have run "other" things to put on ebay. Time will tell....I have a ways to go on the EVO's ROM and want to keep updating this ROM too! :):)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NeeceeBabe:
Hmmmm

Ah ok thats Fabulous! I'm still debating if I want to get it.. My hands are soooo small. But I have one other question. If someone updates their pics on fb, they dn't update on my phone? Any reason why that is?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mjpuczko:
sync is set to like 24 hours or something? only thing i can think of.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NeeceeBabe:
Okay I'll look into that... THanks :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
Yea, it take a bit to update on your phone...sync is not always on top of it :) Yup...the EVO is a big boy, lol.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Rippley05:
I'm kinda scared to get an evo with all the battery/screen issues being reported
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
I saw that too...but it's not happening to everyone :) You are bound to have some mishaps with the phone...and yes there are a few technical problems as the fps and wifi, but software can always be updated. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NeeceeBabe:
:)

THERE IS ALWAYS gonna be problems when new devices come out. I think its funny when people expect things to be PERFECT first time out lol. I always over look the problem cause after a while its gonna be fixed ;):D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] randyman313:
HI Koni,

I've been having the same problem. I use HandCent but its also happening in the stock messaging app. This issue was what originally prompted me to come here. HTC/SPRINT was taking too long to come out with the fix. My main and only issue was just this same thing. No matter what message app I used. Chomps , HandCent , stock, the same thing happend. Downloading would appear but the pic would never come in. This stopped the second i installed one of your ROMS but with this latest version it seems to have re appeared. Doesnt happen on all MMS but enough to be annoying :confused:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
Both handcent and stock messaging app won't work for you...or they periodically work for you? Try reflashing....sometimes that helps iron out kinks in the system, if a reboot doen't not do the trick :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Rippley05:
I don't think its funny and I don't overlook the problems. I do think its funny when there are so many excuses being made for obvious design flaws.

Poor battery, screen coming off, iffy software...

If it was just software then I would overlook it but the other 2 are pretty major, mainly the screen..

I'll end up getting one I'm pretty sure of that.....just a little scared right now.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
Yeah...some are pretty major, I agree. But if you get a bad one...you can always bring it back :) If you get a good one....it's going to be it's weight in gold.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Rippley05:
I agree, which is why I'm prolly gonna go ahead and get it.

Was trying to just wait til some of these problems have at least been acknowledged...but if you got a rom going for it then I'll prolly go ahead and grab it. Roms make everything better~!

I'll drop you a little donation of whatever I can on payday as well bro
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
Sounds good to me bro...thanks! I have one in the works as we speak...it's already up on in the EVO forum, just have some fine tuning to do to it :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kronik03:
Stuck

Alright...

I have heroc build 1.2.3

Wiped SD

Loaded Aloysius 2.1 ROM

Wiped SD Ext

Wiped SD Dalvik

SD is formatted fat32+ext3+swap

My phone will not start with my SD Card in it, I have been trying to get Apps2SD to work correctly. I open DConfig, save settings, and it wants to reboot, thats fine but it wont start up unless I take out the SD Card, then it doesnt change anything.

I've downloaded that Quick System Info, and it says info not available for Apps2SD.

Anyone else have this problem?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TOKiMONSTA:
I was wondering if it was possible to make the "silent" slide on the lock screen make the phone go to vibrate instead of silent.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
Are you trying to flash the OC version by chance? If so, try flashing the non OC version....see if that gives you the same results.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
That would be a no...lol. Serious modding there and I don't have the time to get into that one. Try the theme thread....see if anyone is up for the challenge.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kronik03:
Non-Overclocked

The one I download was not overclock, it's the first one in your download list:

Aloysius-2.1_Maps ----> Maps Work

If I take the SD Card out and boot, it reads the SD Card...

Just can't get it to boot up with it in.

There is nothing on my SD Card that is important if you have any quick suggestions:P

Don't mind wiping Card or Phone if I can get it to work properly
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vortex91:
im refering to official SPRINT TV not the other tv's. I used fresh kitchen to load it and it works first time around than when i exit and reenter it tells me i need to be a sprint sub. I went to setting app's clear data and relaunch works i exit and than same issue again

any ideas?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
Try repartitioning it...but be careful, taking your card out while a2sd is funtioning....is a dangerous game. I have heard of phones bricking when folks take out cards who use a2sd.

So keep your card in....repartition it and wipe the phone good, see if that helps :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stricklerjosh:
EWhat is the process to stop using apps2sd? Do I wipe everything, and repartition SD card then reload rom and flash. Since using apps2sd my phone has been acting really weird. I just wannaaa star over.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
Have you tried removing it via adb...both the apk and the widget, then pushing them back in via adb. Sometimes the kitchen does not do what we would like it to do. I have seen some people run into issues using it for some thing. It's great for most, don't get me wrong...but I would give removing them via adb and repushing them a try. Hope this helps.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kronik03:
No luck

Just tried repartitioning and wiping, same deal =/

Still won't start with card in, unless perhaps I'm not giving it enough time.

Without my card my phone is up and running (with your ROM) in just a couple minutes.

I've let it sit on HTC screen for about 5-10 at a time trying to get it to work and it still doesnt boot up.

Going to try something, just to see...Wana see if it will start with SD Card partitioned as Fat32.

If it does boot, and I only have Fat32, Apps2SD will not work though right?

Apps2SD is only reason I wanted custom ROMS, and I like yours the best:)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kronik03:
Still No Luck

So that didn't work...

Going to try updating to newest heroc build, then flashing the ROM again....Will let you know how it goes:)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kronik03:
Flashed the new heroc recovery img, reflashed new ROM, still won't boot with SD, tried formatting both and then repartitioning and everything :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] derekstory:
This happened to me awhile back. The culprit was a corrupt SD card.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gidkid:
stock kernel

Not that it's such a huge disaster to reflash the non-OC version, but if it's at all possible, could someone direct me to a stock, non-OC kernel that I could flash over the OC versoin to un-OC it?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
I would flash the non oc ROM because the OC version comes with a bunch for stuff to OC it then just the kernel. I could easily package up a non oc kernel for you, but you would still be left with some other OC stuff in your moduals, bin, ect....

It would be just easier to flash a non OC ROM for all parties :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gidkid:
Already did it lol...

Thanks though!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] daPorkchop:
What. 5-10 mins is not enough time for this ROM in my experiance. 20mins on first flash is about my time. And i have a 8gb 4class card. HOWEVER, if you are using the stock SD card, i would suggest getting another.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kronik03:
Thanks for reply daparkchop, I am trying again now, I will just let it sit here for a while and do something else:P

Just a question though, how come it boots so quickly without SD Card, even after new flash? Does that have something to with Apps2SD?

Just curious, Im still a newb to droids
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sh4nk:
So I have a question regarding internal storage. My sd card is partitioned correctly, as my apps are being saved to my sd card. Yesterday I had to do a wipe of my phone, and the other two options that are below the "factory data wipe" in recovery. So, I had to re-install all of my apps. Prior to doing this though, it said my internal storage was 40mb. After installing a bunch of apps, I have about 28mg. First, why is my internal storage so low if all my apps are being saved to my sd card, and second, why is it continuing to go down with each app i install. Even though for each app it is only a very tiny amount of storage being taken. I just can't figure out WHY the internal storage is so damn low in the first place, it should be higher, shouldn't it???

Everything is running fine on the phone now. Every once in awhile sense seems to want to force close, it'll give me the option to force close, or to wait. i choose to select wait, then it goes back to normal again, just seems to hang for a few seconds for some reason.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] redram38:
If you wipe everything and then flash this ROM using A2SD, you will start with about 90 meg or so. You have to move Dalvik cache to the SD as well if you really want to see a difference. Once you do that you will start off with about 152 meg and it usually stays around 130 free. I have 68 apps and have 130 meg free. You can use the DConfig to move dalvik to cache. Also I see no diff in performance doing this. I have a 16 gb class 6 card and it works very well.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mjpuczko:
still have 100% awake time. switched to helix launcher and my battery might be worse. barely used my phone since i woke up (about 5 hours ago) and my battery life is at 50%. so confused. i tried pretty much every fix i could find for 100% awake time. dare i reflash?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
I would reflash....my battery life is amazing. Others here have great battery life as well. If a reflash does not do it, a good wipe may.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mjpuczko:
i might try completely wiping everything. very odd.

before reflashing, i'm going to go back to the maps dark version. see if i have 100% awake time there! love nandroid ;-)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] foci:
Just rooted my hero today and flashed this ROM. it got past the white HTC Screen quite quickly but now it's been doing the nexus screen for 20 minutes. it'll do the animation for about 30 seconds, then pause, then start the animation from the start again. I've flashing from the Stock sprint ROM.

Is it customary for it to take this long?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
You have to wipe good before flashing this ROM coming from a freshly rooted phone. Pull the battery (won't hurt it)....then boot into recovery and wipe data/factoryreset and dalvik, then hit back and flash this ROM again.

There should be no white HTC screen...it should be a black HTC screen and it'll take a good five mins on the black HTC screen and then a good five mins on then nexus boot anime :) Hope this helps!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] derekstory:
Koni, what happened to the proximity sensor while on the phone? Instead of hanging up on someone (glad end call button is gone) I keep turning on the speaker.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
The only way to hang up on someone is to press the end call hard button.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] derekstory:
Yea, I know that but i keep turning on the speaker phone with my chubby cheek:confused:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DPG:
That has been my problem. I have wiped I don't know how many times but that damn white screen always is there. Everything else is a-ok just that stubborn white screen.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sh4nk:
I had done a nandroid backup, after I did the wipe, so that I would have all of my apps back. They were not on the phone though, I had to re-install the all from the market. Do you think that could be an issue of why the internal memory is low? But, if all of my apps had to be re-installed, why would the internal memory be so low?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] reaver18:
yeah once I removed oc widget (didn't realize the kernel was auto oc'ed), my battery life has been insanely good.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dsMA:
custom launcher buttons???

Hey Everyone

I want to replace the "all programs, phone, add to home" buttons that are used with the sense launcher in this rom. I essentially want to mimic the look and behavior of the helix launcher, a single center button that launches all programs. Now before someone says just switch to helix, it doesn't seem as though the sense widgets (mainly the clock/weather widget) are avalible :-( I have pulled the com.htc.resources.apk file from the phone. I understand that the images are located in the \res\drawable-port-mdpi folder. I took a look in it and it shows images for the traditional arched launcher buttons not the buttons that are currently showing (two mini helix center buttons on the left and right and then one blue circle with a phone in them middle for the middle button) Being that it does not seem as those the images for the sense launcher seem to be in that folder where are they and where should I put the image file that I want to replace them with? Also are what other changes do I need to make, remember I wont this single center button to launch 'all programs'

Thank You
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gunnyman:
The Hero has no proximity sensor. It really needs one.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gunnyman:
If I go back and read this whole thread will I find a fix for the friendstream doesn't update twitter bug?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Rippley05:
I don't think so, I have seen it mentioned but not seeing a fix. I'm not positive about it tho.

Funny thing is, I'm just the opposite, all my friendstream does update is twitter...it ignore my facebook =\
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Rippley05:
Hey Koni I have a question

Over in the app+themse section they have a thread with sport teams themes. They lockscreens for teams liek the Redskins, do you know if I could use them on this rom? And would it mess anything up?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
Unfortunately it would screw things up. Lockscreens use the framework....and most of my color is on the framework.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Staxeon:
I'm flashing from modaco 1.5 to Aloysius 2.1, should I flash my radio as well?

Do you recommend, or could you point me toward, a compatible radio image?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] derekstory:
Actually I meant the light sensor. When I was on a call the screen would go dark but now it stays on. Is there any way to get it to turn off when I answer a call so my cheek wont press the speaker phone?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mjpuczko:
grrr...reflashed, wiped battery stats. phone's been off charger 90 minutes now, 100% awake time stilL!

i'm switching from helix launcher to htc sense, rebooting. see if that fixes things. otherwise, i'm lost. tried every fix i can think of.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] StephenMilone:
i want to try out this rom but i have one question and i cant seem to find an answer. does it support ext4 for apps2sd? thanks.

nevermind. decided to try and it hangs during boot so i assume no.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fenwaynomar45:
I keep trying to load the snow rom but it wont work for me... says aborted... any thoughts?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mjpuczko:
does this rom not have the dcpowertop? seems like a way to figure out wakeups. or is the spare parts basically the same thing?

this 100% wake up time is driving me crazy!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] revlis240:
use the Advanced Task killer to kill the running apps one by one until you find the one thats causing your awake time. For me (a while ago) it was the youmail app on 1.5 the 2.1 app fixed it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kinextions:
new roms

Hey Koni....i know i'm getting spoiled but..............are you doing any new ROMs for the sprint hero?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
lol, no new ROMS no.....just going to keep improving this one....as in more color menus and such. Why what did you have in mind? :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kinextions:
I love your ROMS.........but i switched to Blue Echo just because of the color difference but................i'd rather uses your ROMs.

I have no suggestions......i just like to see different colors so it seems like a new phone each time....lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] revlis240:
Im waiting to see the new version of dconfig on your rom! please make it happen. Plus some speed improvements on the "people" app. I have peoples faces as quick links on my home screen. When I click their picture, a quick menu pops up with options to dial/sms/map/email

however, this quick menu sometimes takes 5-10 seconds to pop up. very annoying!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kinextions:
ahhhh so if you click on a persons picture the dial/sms/maps/email stuff pops up....that is really kewl.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mikehaynes:
AOSP DIALER ----> Contacts.apk

I installed this apk using adb and see it located in my system/app folder using linda. However it states "Application did not install". I removed the HTC contact apps and tried installing the contacts.apk you said were pushable but still the same thing. Any ideas? thanks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Staxeon:
I downloaded and installed Aloysius-2.1_Maps and love it, but I noticed LiveWallpapersPicker and LiveWallpapers apk files in the /system/app folder? Do live wallpapers work on the Maps download or do I need to grab Aloysius-2.1_Lwp and reflash to get live wallpapers working?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
Yes live wallpaper does work in the Maps version.....only a select few though. With the LWP version, all the LWP work....but MAP, only a very few lwps work. So I gave you at least the option in MAPs....if per chance one of the select few is one of the ones you would like to use :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sh4nk:
Re:

Hey koni, do you use darktremor, or dconfig? You had recommended darktremor awhile back, but cant people just use dconfig? My wife is flashing the snow version, and wants to use the easiest ap2sd. Wasnt sure if she should use dconfig, or darktremor. What do you recommend?

i had the same issue with the phone at 100% wake. it could b that the radio is st to look for a gsm sigmal. this was the cause of m 100% wake problem. there is an article on the wiki on how to improve battery life. if you cant find the link on the wiki let me know and ill post or send it ti you.

now i can go like 13 hours up 5 awake and have 80% battery.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mjpuczko:
htanks. i'm checking out a new rom right now but my awake time on this rom was definitely not app related. it was either wifi or like you said, radio signal
[Hero CDMA Android Development] macvalentine:
does anyone know if flashing the remove battery and clock mod for fresh 2.1.2 work for this rom?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] randyman313:
picture mail issue

Tried to reflash and all hell broke loose. I had to wipe all and then reinstall. I think I may have a fix for this though.

When you disable the notifications in the stock messaging app (like Handcent says to do ) you also need to uncheck the "automatically receive" option .

That seems to do the trick. Also one further note , The Auto receive option within Handcent doesnt seen to have any effect.

After you set it up this way, the pictures dont download automatically but twhen you hit the download button in the message, it comes in fine.

Hope this helps someone :)

Stuck on a loop

I installed newest rom and I got stuck on a loop on the htc screen. Did another wipe and flashed again. This time it got stuck in a loop on the n1 loader screen. Any advice?

Each time for about twenty minutes
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mattynealo:
I really like this rom :( overclocking doesn't work.. Is it just me or is texting still horrible on this phone I seem that I cannot type very fast without lots of accuracy issues. Tried several keyboards.. Currently use Default 2.1 keyboard and handcent. I need handcent because it's the only thing that will repeat sms notification (required for pages for work).. I don't know that this a Aloysius issue or not.

Anyone else have any slow texting issues?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dsMA:
if you are trying one of the oc roms then your phone might not b able to b over clocked. i had this prob tried the oc map rom and tried the non oc rom and flashinf the oc kernel and always got a boot loop. try one of the non oc roms and see if it loads. if it does then you prob cant oc your phone...i know major bummer
[Hero CDMA Android Development] BcardiFred:
ok this will my 1St time flashing my hero. am wonering are the files jus upgrades or can i flash my rom from there right now i rooted my hero using this posting "How to Root Sprint 2.1 Release for CDMA Hero" am trying to use this rom am i on the right track can any one assist ty in advance
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wayoff:
Thanks a bunch.. That seemed to be the problem.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dsMA:
I am not sure what you are asking but if you are asking how to flash this rom to your phone here are the steps.

First you want to make a backup of your existing rom:

1. while the phone is off press and hold the home button and the end call button.

2. from the recovery screen select backup/restore

3. nand backup

Next you will want to wipe user data:

1. from the main recovery screen select wipe

2. select wipe data

3. once that process is done back up back to the wipe data screen and select wipe dalvisk (or something that looks similar to that)

Now you are ready to flash the rom to the device:

1. if you you have the rom on the sdcard simply back up to the main recovery screen and select flash from zip on sdcard

2. if you do not have the rom on the sdcard then you are going to want to turn your phone off, remove the sdcard, connect it to your pc, copy the rom to the sdcard (the root directory will be fine), put the sdcard back in the phone, turn the phone on and return to the recovery screen, select flash from zip on sdcard

3. return to the main screen and select reboot

NOTE: not all phones are capable of being overclocked. So if you you are using one of the oc roms and after flashing the rom and then rebooting you get stuck in a boot loop or it seems to be taking forever (20+ mins) to boot then your phone prob can't be overclocked. You will need to repeat wiping and flashing using a non oc version of the rom.
