Re: [ROM] DamageControl v2.08.1

I don't know what every body is worried about. I just read the Ebay listing. Even if Treve is selling his Hero he still says they are working on ROM upgrades. The phone he us selling comes with dc2.09 and he said it's being released soon. Sounds like Damage is still working to me.

Hell, even if he doesn't release another, this ROM works a million times better than what came stock with my phone. I'm happy with it, and I thank Damage for all of his hard work.

Hey guys,

I honestly haven't looked at the forums in quite awhile now. I haven't kept up much and I'm just barely seeing some of the posts, so I better comment on them now to clean up the rumors.

TrevE and I have decided to go work on the Evo. He decided to sell his phone on eBay today, and he never intended to make money off of the 'not released' DamageControl 2.09. We always intended to release it sooner but my crazy schedule hasn't allowed me to look everything over until recently.

Most of you should be able to see that reason by reading the first post: I am getting married soon (three weeks from today). I have VERY limited time - planning wedding stuff and having a life that I've had little time to follow the posts here too much. I apologize for my absence. The whole marriage stuff will be done soon, so I'll be back. However, my Hero days are limited. I am not selling my Hero, and still will have it in my possession. As of right now, however, I don't plan on releasing any more DamageControl ROMs for the Hero. I am already working on some new Evo stuff.

That said, there are still projects that I am working on that will affect the Hero. You'll see what I mean soon. I am also looking for people to help in the cause. If you have some mad computer skills in pretty much anything and want to help out a bit, shoot me a PM with what you are good at.

Again, I apologize for my absence, and give my thanks to everyone who has supported me thus far. If you get an Evo, I look forward to your support there as well. I will stick around the Hero forums and help out the devs here (will be implementing some of my plans), so I'm not completely out of here.

Here's to a brighter future and moving on to bigger and better.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ganjah:
Well, thanks alot for the last hurrah, damageless and TrevE! :-D

This place would be far worse off without you, and you'll be missed. Check back from time to time and throw us a bone if you can, but, if not, take care! You two were fantastic!

Good luck in all your future endeavors and on the upcoming Evo development! Grats on the wedding, and may your marriage be fruitful, fun, and frolicking forever!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] lokipimpin:
:D Damageless, damn man didnt even get a chance to really get into stuff with ya, I will be moving to the EVO soon but still am going to leave my mark on the Hero world..at least I'm going to try!:D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] michaelhood:
damageless, congrats! hope you enjoying your wedding. the day goes by fast, try to take it all in and enjoy it. thanks for your work on the ROMs, i'm sure it's less-than-rewarding at times with all the attention. :)

question for anyone who can field it- 2.08 was my first encounter (just got a hero, my first android device). i upgraded to 2.08.1 with DCUpdater. should I also be able to upgrade to 2.09 with it? 'check for updates' doesn't show anything yet. if it just hasn't been updated (the 'repo' or what have you) np, just wondering if i can wait til it is or if i need to grab the zip and such.

thanks again damageless!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] lokipimpin:
oh an by the way for anyone that is *****ing or complaning or whatever...there is over 525 post in this thread...you think its because this rom sucks? or that damageless an trevE dont make updates for there rom? well thas all i want in a rom, i havent found a better rom to base a custom rom off of, i havent found a better rom to theme.the base components in this rom make it dependable jut read the first sentence in the OP it says it all...i will be moving to EVO so im not to worried bout the update to 2.0.9, but rest assured it will be the best i might flash it for ****s n giggles...anyway thas my 2 cents, luv it or hate it "IDGAF"!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] lokipimpin:
most def, thas what its there for

i'm trying to flash 2.09. wiped everything. i'm stuck on a boot loop. any ideas?

coming from 2.08

*** fixed! ***

thanks damage and treve! we are all thankful for your work. Now that you're doing EVO work i'm sure i'm going to get one! Sprint should give you guys the commission :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dragonslave02:
I am also having troubles but it happened after i enabled JIT, I tried to ban the HTC lock screen but the option in dconfig was not there like it was in 2.08.1

Also I couldnt clear the home data to enable the helixlauncher so i tried banning launcher using dconfig but only had troubles
[Hero CDMA Android Development] joetemp75:
Anyone get super user to work i tried freshes fix and had no luck
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smw6180:
Confirmed. I can't even get Titanium Backup to work...just sits forever.

SetCPU goes to request root and skips right past it (yes I know setCPU doesn't work on this kernel, just testing root apps).

Same for autokiller.

Re: [ROM] DamageControl v2.09 | Final Sprint RUU, Deodexed | Final Hero build

Just flashed and I can't download HTC widgets from market. Checked software version and it is reporting build number as dc 2.09 and software number as 2.20.651.1. Is this right? Shouldn't the software number be reflecting the new ".5" release?

I'll just stick with 2.08.1, thank you.

Enjoy the EVO.... maybe you can get a half-assed Froyo working on it before you ditch it for the newest and greatest in a few months. :rolleyes:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] eme82:
I don't know if you were being a jerk about this or not but how it reads...way to appreciative for he did do...I don't about anyone else but when I was planning a wedding...its pretty busy. Plus a wife is MUCH more important than a phone.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] revcp:
DConfig

I'm trying to download photos from facebook to sync with my contacts. Upstream the suggestion was made to set memkiller to "stock". I've tried that twice now, but when I reboot it doesn't seem to hold--has kicked back to "less". Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] doojer:
Sorry, if my honesty offends you.

But I have found that keeping up with these ROMs.... and now these phones.... is like a dog chasing it's tail. We're just a bunch of hampsters that will give anything we have for a bigger treadmill.... but that treadmill doesn't take us any further than the last one did.

Well, I'm getting off the treadmill. HTC Hero running Damage 2.08.1. That's my phone. Maybe in a couple of years I'll consider something else.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] redram38:
Dude you are one of the reasons DEVs just up and quit. They don't owe you a &%%( thing so either appreciate what they do or just use your phone how HTC intended., stock. Your so called honesty is more like just being a plain A$$ IMO.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ajones7279:
Re: [ROM] DamageControl v2.09 | Final Sprint RUU, Deodexed | Final Hero build

No force closes here...just none of my root apps working.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] revcp:
Facebook Photos

I don't understand this. I have "Facebook for HTC Sense" in settings, apps, manage apps, but I do no have it in programs or widgets. On the other hand, I have "Facebook for Android" in programs AND widgets. I've wiped data from both (the former directly, by going through settings, apps, manage apps, the latter by logging out and then logging back in). Could this be causing my issue of not getting photos (actually, I've received one photo out of scores, with a first name starting with "A", which leads me to believe that something is shutting down the sync. I've tried to lower memkiller in DConfig to "stock", but every time I do I reboot and it has reset to "low")?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] doojer:
They upped and quit anyways.

What's your point? I never said they owed me anything. Just that I've decided not to update anymore. Why does that offend you so much?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ajones7279:
Re: [ROM] DamageControl v2.09 | Final Sprint RUU, Deodexed | Final Hero build

Download AutoKiller from the Market, go to presets and set it to stock and reboot. Now all your FB photos will sync. It's a root app though.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] redram38:
Maybe it is your attitude and the WAY you said it. Any way I am done with this and your selfishness. Oh and why do you feel it necessary to come on here and announce you are not updating anymore. Do you think anyone really cares????
[Hero CDMA Android Development] revcp:
Thanks. There's no "stock" option. Would "moderate" be the correct preset?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] avhokie:
Thanks for all the work here Damage. Looks like my company is going to make me go with Verizon, so I'll be done with the Hero shortly and probably going with the Incredible. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like there are a lot of cooks working on that phone...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chfields:
First off to Damage, thanks for all your hard work and amazing ROM's. In my experience, yours have been the most stable and smoothest running ROM's I've used and I have used most of them. I am currently running 2.08.1 w/Blue Echo and some of Godzsons icons. If I upgrade will I be able to use the Blue Echo theme and Godzson icons?

Congrats on your wedding date and I wish you and your betrothed a long and happy life together!

You will be missed......
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cirehawk:
So let me get this. You're mad that he got (or is getting) an EVO and will now be developing for it? Wow! I chose to stick with the Hero for now and while I'm a little disappointed he's moving on, and though I think the communication of their (he and Trev) decision could have been handled better, I'm certainly not MAD about his decision. He has a right to his choice since he is doing this for fun (meaning not getting paid for it). I appreciate the work he DID do on the Hero, and it made my Hero a lot more enjoyable than the basic rom that came with it.

Good luck with the EVO damages. Maybe I'll be joining you guys in a few months. Maybe by then I will have gotten used to how BIG it is. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aiwetir:
well i'm mad that i didn't get an evo :mad:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] icornwal:
I'm mad I can't get an EVO yet too.

Back to the ROM. I'm going back to 2.08.1. Root doesn't work for me. Maybe if I wiped but I'm not ready to do that...yet.

Thats pretty gutsy, coming into a new forum and insulting one of the best devs here because of something you probably did wrong....but then I guess your name says it all.........................
[Hero CDMA Android Development] crxmax:
uhmmm

can someone direct me as to how to get this stuff to work:

-helixlauncher included because of issues with keysigning & launcher.apk

-Added in new dconfig fixing many issues

-JiSurfChi's fixed lockscreen (disable htc lockscreen in dconfig)

-PirateMedias music.apk with great senselilke widgets & fixes music button in vanilla clock.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cirehawk:
Yeah, I'm sticking with 2.08.1 instead of going to 2.09 since I'm not sure how much effort will be put into fixing any 2.09 issues.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] seyer0686:
I don't know why everyone is having so many issues with 2.09. I installed it this morning and I am having zero issues, so far at least. Root apps work, no lag whatsoever. And with a lot of devs going to the EVO, I think this may end up being my permanent ROM until I get a new phone in... a year or two. Thanks Damage, for all your hard work and dedication.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smw6180:
Which root apps? I did mine with a full wipe of everything and don't get superuser to work with root apps.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] davec1234:
I tried wiping everything but ext and got boot loop.

I then wiped everything again plus ext.

Rebooted and loaded, went to DConfig and tried to make some changes and apply them, it told me to try to get root access.

I nandroided back to what I was running before.

I guess I'll wait until (if) this gets sorted out.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] eme82:
It looks like there is a line of code missing in the update script to make SU work

set_perm 0 0 04755 SYSTEM:xbin/su

You can either add that or I'm flashing the newest SU to this and it should work.

Its booting now...i'll let you know
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ajones7279:
"System Default" is the one you want.

I think I'm gonna go back to 2.0.8 as well...I need my root apps. :)

Edit: Right after I try what was just posted.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alexbreton:
Cant get superuser to work or wireless tether . . . no root apps
[Hero CDMA Android Development] revcp:
Thanks for your help. As elsewhere, people in this forum have been exceedingly helpful. What "rot apps" are not working for people? I installed 2.09 two days ago and things seem to be going quite well. for fb photos I went ahead and installed syncmypix as a work around.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] davec1234:
Odd, the same error was on Fresh 2.1.2.

If damages puts out a fix or two, I may upgrade to it. Otherwise, I am happy with 2.08.1 and will stick with it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ajones7279:
Blah...still a no-go.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] eme82:
Nevermind...this doesn't work either. That's really strange.

Anyone else notice there is a lot reminisce of the the test RUU. The build prop has test keys written all over it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] get-Apache:
hey after flashing 2.09, I found the software version was not the sprint released version 2.27.651.5, it was showing as 2.20.651.1. Probably just forgot to change the version label right?

I have found the only way to change it is to download a new launcher and reboot and if i want to change it from there i have to uninstall the launcher

Im going to try whiping everything and reflash another rom and see if it works there.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] TrevE:
Sorry guys - past few weeks have been hectic to say the least. Sorry to everyone that was upset by my ebay auction, I never ment for everyone to find out that way. We were planning on posting an official statement here but i needed to list my phone in the meantime. I just wanted to get something back for the phone itself seeing i paid full price on evo, my intention wasnt trying to whore dc out or anything. We will still be working on DC of course but it will probably pop up on evo next, then whatevers the next big phone 6 months down the line, etc etc. Sorry for those of you who are upset but its hard for me to stay on the same phone for too long :)

As far as DC2.09, it looks like the update.zip posted is bad. Im pulling it off the server now. Seems like git spit out a halfbaked update or something, its nowhere near the files in our repo. Ill be by my pc to check it out in a few hours, hang tight till then.

Post-upgrade confusion

After flashing 2.0.9, I noticed that the "Software Number" on my phone is "2.20.651.1". I thought it should be 2.27.651.5 (like here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&Item=230483780435). However, my build number says "DamageControl 2.09". Should the software version be different than what it is?

My DConfig looks just like it did before. A single screen, no wizard (unlike the shot shown on the eBay link above). What's up with that?

I'm a little nervous that I might have somehow botched something up, even though the patch process was very simple. Btw, I was an upgrade from 8.0.1 and did not wipe first (I was concerned that wiping would mean losing all my config info - gmail/k9 accounts and configs, etc.

Thanks for any guidance.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cirehawk:
Didn't upset me. A person has to do what a person has to do. I guess the only slight disappointment was announcing all of the great things that were in the works for the rom, and then all of a sudden no word whatsoever. Like I said in another post though, I'm more than happy with 2.08.1 so thanks for all your efforts.

A couple EVO related questions for you (sorry to go off topic). Since the Hero has only been out about 8 months, did you have to pay the full price for the EVO? Or did Sprint give you the upgrade price? Secondly, are you getting used to how big the EVO is? It's an awesome screen and all, but man is it big for a phone.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] _sky.captain_:
Never mind...

Just saw TrevE's post above...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dragonslave02:
Ok im have some troubles here since i had updated to 2.09 i cannot change my default home screen. When i go to home in settings>applications>manage clear is grayed out

I have tried reflashing 2.08.1, other roms such as fresh toast, and still could not, i have tried my nandroid with no luck. Now i dont even have a home option in settings>applications>manage

Any Thoughts please and Thank You

Edit: I am currently trying to reflash 2.08.1 again off my nandroid from when i first rooted my phone
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TrevE:
Sorry for the disappointment, I think 2.09 has a lot of "great things" in it. Weve been quiet but still working on stuff. With me traveling and it being summer finally :) and damage getting married i havent been posting as much. If you look at the new dconfig (screenshots up in my auction for now seeing update.zip was botched) i put alot of work into it alone with a rewrite from the ground up. were not completely jumping the hero ship either (as some of our testers have seen) damage still has stuff in the works, and programs such as dconfig i will always try to write so its as cross version as possible so it should still work on the hero. For those going to evo we are already working on dc over there :)

I did have to pay the full price for the evo. Came out to like 500 someodd. I did not have whatever that $10 fee is i guess because im on the $99 simply everything plan. Guess its not bad and ill have a upgrade price on whatevers next in october.

I wont see the evo till ups comes monday pm :( Needed to order it they only had a busted phone left apparently up at my local sprint store.
