What a ****, no ones asking you to check this thread...I don't mess around with Roms too much but this one has always been hella stable for me
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Master K:
WRONG! If you don't like the rom then go away :)

I spent last weekend trying 5 other ROM's and came back to this one.

This rom is totally stable for me and my family. I hate that all the other ROM's now seem to have crazy stupid themes on them. This is as close to perfect as one can get. I use it on 4 Hero's and they all run like a dream with only a couple of fixes after flashing.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Audionut:
I agree, have some respect for the devs. If you don't like the rom then leave. It's been stable for me for months.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sonnysayas:
I'm new at this kind of thing, but it seems to me that DamageControl v1.0 works better than this latest one.

Either way, this ROM's great. The OC kernels for DC ROMs work well, too.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] JGeZau:
completely agree with you. Really stable for me too, and love it
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nuprin:
Anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alexnaoumi:
how come sometimes when i reboot 1 or 2 times, my gtalk wont connect at all...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] elhpro:
I use it more than a month ago. Faster than the original, less battery consumption but sometimes gets stuck in some applications. Some do not work live wallpaper and voice mail notifications do not fall. The application of automatic pass Apps2SD was not enough work to make it work. The translation into Spanish with the local configuration application was not complete some parts were in English. Of the rest all good much better than the original.

Connection problems

In the past few days I've been having some serious connection problems. Web pages take forever to load, Google Maps is the same way. Even getting calls is a problem, it will disconnect before I have a chance to answer.

My wife has a Hero with the standard Sprint Android OS and she isn't having any problems. So it's either my phone specifically or something with Damage Control. Anyone else having problems? I'm about ready to jump ship and find a new ROM or just go back to the old Sprint OS, and I really don't want that.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aarronbittick:
Look, this rom sucks now
[Hero CDMA Android Development] doojer:
The only stable versions of this ROM are from several releases ago. The new builds are all half-assed and buggy and the devs have now abandoned ship entirely.

I highly recommend moving on to another ROM, unless you are skilled enough to repair the current build yourself.

IMO, CM6 kicks DC's ass.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rockness77:
If anyone is looking for a stable rom Honeybun worked very well for me with no problems. I have now moved on to froyo and it has been a great experience so far.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Well, that's your opinion. And that is not even relevant to this post, so knock it off if you don't have a ligament question or comment.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bigsc:
well, he's at least half right

I agree, he should have more respect for damage and trevE, but, while this rom may have appeared stable when it was put out, I am now having all sorts of problems with it, Since posting those problems will do me no good, I am wondering which Rom, is not only the best, but also, the MOST like this one. I know a lot of people like to take out sense and add weird things, but the fact is, I chose damage, because he left the stuff I wanted, and made everything simple. Every time I look for a new one there are loads of crap I don't want, and lost of the cool stuff stripped out. It's not fair, he could have at least told us where to go once he left, seeing as he will not only be not making any more hero roms, but will also not be supporting them as well. I need something stable to tide me over until I can get my Evo:confused::cool::eek::):D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
:rolleyes: it is outdated and abandoned yes but i wouldn't say it sucks. it probably is alot slower than the current roms we have.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nuprin:
Ans what are the current ROMs that are faster?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dhero1:
Sense Sprint based ROMs:

- Fresh 2.4.0 - deodex

- NFX 2.2.1 - doeodex and odex

- NfiniteFX45 Sprint stock with AS2D and OC - deodex and odex

Sense Non-Sprint based ROMs

- Zen 2.7.0 - deodex and odex

AOSP based ROMs

- Darch 2.7 / 2.8

- CM 6
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
+1 to all those choices.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bcarter2000:
I would go with - NfiniteFX45 Sprint stock with AS2D and OC - odexed for speed.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bcarter2000:
Try wiping the Dalvik every once in a while
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
I agree, either that or Fresh 2.4.0 for a sense based stable rom. Nfinite's is faster though IMO.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bigsc:
Winner?

so those 2 are my choices, eh? I guess I'll go with fresh, seeing as he has the kitchen that I have already been using to back up SMS and such... I dont like breaking from damage, and I dont like switching to someone who wasn't my first chocice to begin with, but I guess I have to do something..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tomh1979:
i'm a Evo owner, so yes i'm a newb to the Hero, which is my wife's phone, but anyways the fresh rom is that a froyo rom, if so then that's what i'm looking for, i currently have fresh 3.2 on the evo and so far it's ok, i came from netarchy's froyo ota 2.2 final which i loved, but now need to find a reliable cooker for the hero versus my evo.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
There're no 2.2 sense roms for the hero unfortunately.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] windtrader:
Which ROM now?

My Hero is on DC2.08 and has been working fine for a long time. Once I get a ROM that pretty much works I try to not tweak around too much. But lately is getting buggy and I know I need to reload ROM and start over.

A lot has changed since DC2.08 was fresh. And there are so many new ROMS and so much chatter on them all it is very hard to decide which to upgrade to.

A few things about my own Hero and requirements.

> Runs Launcher Pro Plus so not using Sense.

> All core functions need to work like calls, text, GPS, camera, etc.

> 2.2 support so I can run new Google Maps for example.

> OC would be great if stable and makes a difference.

> ROM group has good future and keeps releasing new ROMs, not like DC ending.

If there is a ROM review thread that would be great, just did not see anything that listed current ROMS and plus/minus of each.

Thanks

Issue solved

Thank you barnacles. I had the same high wake from idle issue (running Fresh Hero 2.3.3) as others and unchecking the 'Automatic' box under Menu > Settings > Data and Time (also reached through World Clock > Menu > Local Time Settings)- solved it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] phantomazero:
I went from DC (which I really loved using) to CM6, and I'm really impressed with it so far. The default launcher is ADW, which admittedly doesn't run as smooth as I'd like, but configure it with Launcher Pro and you're solid. It has everything you've asked for, and I'm running SetCPU on it at 691/3xxMHz without issue.

It's a shame that development on DC stopped, but I'm very happy to be a CyanogenMod user now. Definitely give it a try.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] windtrader:
I chose AOSPMod, a fork off CM6, and love it.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=782320

It is light years ahead of DC2.08.

I started with ADW but went back to Launcher Pro Plus as I paid for it and it has more features I like.

The speed seems great too as I run SETCPU wide open at 768 and hardly have any FC.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zedhead187:
Ok guys real new to this. I just rooted my phone my self using the one click method and it worked. I followed all the steps and they worked also. So I backed up my phone per instructions and then wiped it,loaded the new rom which is the damage control rom and it worked. But I still see all the crap sprint and every one else put on there. The whole point of changing roms was to get rid of that crap. Now I dont have all the apps that I had before but i got the ones that damage control put on there. I want to have a phone that doesn't have any thing on it but what it needs to run my services such as phone internet text etc etc. None of this other stuff. What do I do. Thanks alot in advance for the help.

Flash LiquidSense rom... tons of bloat taken out
[Hero CDMA Android Development] SirRipo:
seconded for LiquidSense. Only sense-based rom with little-no bloat
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zedhead187:
Will this rom have every thing I need or will I have to get some stuff from another source to make sure all my services work. Like up do date radio etc. ? Also do when I go to reload rom to I have to do a back up or should the back up I did for the first rom still be there. And are the steps for new loading new rom the same. So I go get rom manager again and so on? Thanks for the fast response by the way. One more ?. How do I save and reload my contacts to the phone after reflashing the rom? I didnt do it the first time I reflashed ( rookie mistake Im sure) and there all gone. I was told that gmail stores them but I never told it to. What do I do foe future reflashing Thanks again.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
No rom has radio included, see my sig for radios :) And correct, the steps are the same
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zedhead187:
Thanks for the fast response by the way. The rom I got called damage control has a working radio loaded so whats up with that. One more ?.

DC apps2sd question?

I am afraid to say I am still running DC's last rom and really love it. But in the last three months have experienced extreme lack of memory issues. My memory has been going away a little at a time and don't know why. I have dumped all my apps except four, have a really good Cache Cleaner from the Market and Titanium Backup. I have been cruising the forums and the consensus is that I need to use apps2sd. So I'm ready to do that and understand the steps I believe:

Back up phone and apps with TB.

Back up SD card to my PC.

Boot into recovery and use the partition ext3.

Then I would click the "Apps2sd" in DC's Control Panel.

Reboot the phone and it's done.................... I think.

But looking at the phone now the apps2sd is already checked in DC control panel. Using the latest edition of TB it shows the amount of storage used and what's left on the SD Card, Internal Memory AND apps2sd. TB shows that I already have apps2sd going. Is this possible? I never partitioned my SD Card so how can this work? Could this be the source of my memory problems? I really don't want to change ROMs and I am willing to make the change to apps2sd but I'm not understanding all this. Can anyone help with this??

Thanks for your help..........

[Hero CDMA Android Development] MrDowntown12:
Since you tried using this rom you probably found via a 3rd party website. Its outdated and wouldn't be worth using right now. You probably just rooted so you don't know about wiping and recovery and all the good stuff.

My suggestion to you is go find the stickes at the top of the forum and read up on the guides. Or watch the video tutorials.

When you do this you will fix your problems. Don't skip a step, don't read ahead, don't fast forward. Do what the instructions say and you'll be set. And pick a more up yo date rom. Any on the first page will do fine.

Good luck

Ah, yeah. If your forwarding settings on your Sprint accound are off, then you'll definitely get strange results.

I forget the dial string to set it up properly, and my phone won't currently give them to me, but once you set the forwarding properly, it works great.

(My phone currently tells me I'm on an unsupported carrier when I go through the google voice setup. Doesn't affect me since I already had the forwarding set up properly. I believe the correct method for setting it can be found in the help section of Google's site. I'll poke around and see if I can find a useful link to post....)

I had the same problem I flashed a 2.1 rom about a month ago. I used the 1.5 version and had the same result. I was actually able to pull it without having to nandroid though. This time I ripped it out of another 2.1 rom and pushed it no problem. I think I got it from DameControl v2.02, but I also think Fresh has a zip with all the .apk's he pulled, which should work as well. Seems silly for a game, but my son loves it.
