SWEET....found the same thread!! I have put the patch and instructions on the front page....

.....yes, please report back and let us know if it works for you!!!! :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bob2300nx:
I can confirm that flashing 2.5 app2sd sends it into endless boot (so everyone trying to do apps2sd dont flash the 2.5 zip file). Also when I open the mail app it isnt black, did you perhaps forget to include that in your latest apps2sd version? I am testing apps2sd right now, I will report back.

EDIT: This is the 2.5 file I tried (it worked on fresh), it does not work DONT INSTALL ON THIS ROM:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6175738&postcount=14

EDIT 2: Your apps2sd rom is working, I made no changes other than having a ext partition. I just installed titanium backup and when I installed it my apps2sd storage decreased by 1 mb and the internal storage decreased by .15mb. So the cache is still on the phone but apps are installing on the partition. So as I understand it this is how its suppose to work.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
What 2.5 zip are you referring to? The patch I had just recently posted just about a minute ago on the front page?

....also the mail app that "isn't" black....is the HTC mail app, you're telling me I did not put the AOSP Email client in this version. Just checked and I did :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Las_Vegas:
Mine works, but I manually installed it before it was included. You can check a few things to verify that it's working.

1) boot into recovery.

2) from a terminal, enter:

adb shell (get into shell)
mount /system (mount the system partition)
ls /system (check for the sd folder)
mkdir /system/sd (only if it wasn't there)

3) reboot

4) verify that it's working:

adb shell
cd /data/app
pwd

If it reports /system/sd/app then all is well.

This is the patch I installed to get mine working:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] redram38:
The 2.5 zip move dalvik to the sd creating more space. I had already flashed this and got stuck at the boot screen also, I wiped and flashed the Rom again, then the aps2sd patch you have posted and it is booting now. It is not freezing this time. I will report if Aps2sd took with the patch.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] redram38:
Got stuck at the boot screen again. This after wiping everything, flashing the Rom, then the patch.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Las_Vegas:
Thanks for the Touch keyboard, but...

I still have 2 Android keyboards installed.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bob2300nx:
If your up for trying it again.....wipe everything (rom, ext, cache) and then flash the rom. For me thats what I did, no patch or anything and it seems to be working.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] redram38:
So you did not have to flash anything extra to get it working? It just worked.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bob2300nx:
That is correct. I did have it working before on different roms but I dont think that would have anything to do with it.

I just flashed the rom and made sure my partition was wiped. I just installed 91 apps from titanium backup. My internal storage went from 100mb to 63mb and a2sd from 457mb to 363mb.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dec3ption:
Does anyone have any idea yet as to why we have duplicates of the ringtones/notifications/alarms showing up when we try to select one? :confused:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DanWalker:
i was wondering the same, that's probably why the size of the ROM is so much larger.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dec3ption:
Yeah I can't figure it out at all..and it's one of those things that's driving me crazy. I've tried searching, but haven't come up with anything. I hope it's something that gets fixed soon!

EDIT: wow I just somehow fixed it by messing around...

I started by moving all of the /system/media/ringtones,notifications,alarms folders to a 'media' folder on my sd-card, and deleting them from the phone

rename the 'media' folder on your sd-card to anything else (I used 'media-RENAME')

reboot - after you boot up youll notice that if you try to choose a notification sound or something, it won't play

rename the 'media-RENAME' folder to 'media' on your sd-card

reboot - now all of my tones show up only once in the list

...very weird haha
[Hero CDMA Android Development] beerock:
I do believe if anyone was running Regaw and followed his instructions you placed a media folder on sd card because he removed the ringtones to save space. However not all of these roms have had the ringtones removed so if you have doubles remove the media folder from sd card, and this should remove the duplicates.:cool:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] networx2002:
can someone tell me how to pull a file.

like if i wanted to remove sprint nav.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pseudoremora:
To do this:

1. Open Command Prompt

2. Change directory into your AndroidSDK\tools folder (ex: c:\androidsdk\tools)

cd AndroidSDK\tools

3. Run the following commands

adb remount
adb shell -- should see [B]#[/B]
cd /system/app
rm Sprint_Navigation.apk
exit
exit
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Merckle:
anything on camera
[Hero CDMA Android Development] networx2002:
Thank you.

is the _ for if it 2 words?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pseudoremora:
The _ denotes a space. It's not a good thing to have spaces in Linux, but you choose to use a space, usually it's best to use the underscore character (_) or the hyphen (-).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] itzjonjon69:
noticed 2 bugs...

bug 1:

In google navigator everything works, but the map doesnt come up

bug 2:

When someone calls the phone only vibrates no ringtone
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bob2300nx:
Well for bug #1, thats a problem because of the livewallpapers. To fix it I believe you need to flash the livewallpaper undo by flipz.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
Good find!!!! I will have to check this out first thing in the morning!!! :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Las_Vegas:
Yep! Solved it for me too! Now if we can get rid of the extra copy of Android Keyboard… ;)

Click the "low-res" hyperlink if you want the Touch Input keyboard in place of the dupe AK. Not that there's anything wrong w/ the keyboard cooked into the ROM, but I needed this one for the dictionary editing and all the other hacks.....works like a charm! :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] grifforama:
Before I try this, can anyone confirm this claim ?

Facebook syncs like a charm!!!

As if it does, it will be the first 2.1 ROM I've come across where it does.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DanWalker:
Please define syncs like a charm...I can't seem to get a single photo to show up in my contacts list...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] networx2002:
I wiped my phone 6 times and never had a problem with facebook.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DanWalker:
Not really sure what wiping has to do with facebook syncing cottectly though.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jdawg0528:
for me it didn't sync like a charm. but it did sync. i did the same thing i've had to do on all of the 2.1 roms i've used. here's what i posted, somewhere in this thread, to get it working for me:

Here is the link to the HTCCamera.apk :)

....for anyone not interested in the new 2 in 1 camera installed on the ROM, here is the HTC version!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DanWalker:
you sir are a gentleman and a scholar. which commands do i use to replace the other one? Still trying to learn all this stuff lol.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
Yeah....some people, have had zero issues syncing....some it takes a little while and then it will sync, and some just plum can't sync.

....I have heard it has to do with autokiller set to too high a level such as aggressive or strict, but if you set it to a lower level it will work.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
After downloading the apk to your tools folder....type these commands:

cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools

adb remount

adb push HTCCamera.apk /system/app/

exit

Then in the same black box type these commands

cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools

adb remount

adb shell

rm /system/app/Camera.apk

exit

:)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] networx2002:
I never use autokiller so maybe thats it
[Hero CDMA Android Development] masterninja:
I am not able to delete files from phone. Using EStrongs. Not sure what's going on. A VERY LONG and HARD night :D, and can't seem to focus, but I DO want all the duplicates off my phone. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
My guess it that is what is going on.....btw, what is facebook syncing? Is that souly to get your pictures in your contact to coinside with the pictures people have on facebook?

....or is it more than just that?

I have all my contacts on google, this way I can choose the photo of them that I deam fit for my phone's contact list :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] omair2005:
do i have to run the adb commands for apps2sd in the v3?

Clock on lockscreen...

Before I post, just want to say this was the first rom that I actually got giddy after installing :) Loving it so far! Anyway, The transparent lock screen is cool, however if you have a clock on your home screen, you see two clocks before you unlock the screen. (The lockscreen clock is offcenter, and my homescreen clock is top center. This is kind of distracting and loses the visual appeal. I still want a clock on my homescreen, so is there any way to get rid of the clock on the lock screen? Or to be able to put a non-transparent lock screen in? :D Thanks in advance!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
If it does not work for you right after you flash the ROM yes. Some have had no issues with it out of the package.....and some can't get it to work. I believe this has to do with little peices of left over ROMS of previous ROMS on your phone. Wiping does not always "wipe" everything perfectly.

"IF" a2sd does not work, do the adb commands and push the patch and it will....as it has for those few that have had issues. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] omair2005:
thanks for the quick reply..i will try it out. I'm having lag issues with fresh :/
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
Currently there is no way to get rid of this clock on the lockscreen....I do have a certain someone looking into it for me, and this person is one of the brightest ones out there!!

I have been after getting rid of the time, date, and sprint logo in the lockscreen for quite some time now and do not plan to give up. :)

Hope you enjoy the ROM aside from that!!! :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bnyirady:
Thanks for the quick reply! Will keep checking back for the update! :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bnyirady:
Question, not sure if anybody knows but when you're at the home screen, and you click the home button... it zooms way out but it seems like thats all it does... You can't maneuver anything, move anything... seems to be pointless. Anyone be able to tell me the purpose of this? :) Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
There is no point in that feature aside from you can see all your screens at once.....if you touch one of the screens it goes immediately to that screen.

....I guess if you don't want to slide over to a certain screen, that feature would/could come in handy. Aside from that, it has a kind of coolness to it :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dec3ption:
It's an overview of all 7 of your screens, just tap one of them to go to it :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dec3ption:
Hey Koni..the HtcCamera.apk that you posted...does that one allow for zooming?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bnyirady:
Oh that is cool... Didn't notice you could quick jump... Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
It does have the zoom feature and it "does" work on the HTC camera......Dan Walker has downloaded the HTCCamera.apk I just put up this morning, and loves it so far!

I am more partial to the 2 in 1 feature this new one has....but for those who would like the zoom to work, I have post the HTC version :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bnyirady:
So I've spent hours and hours going through post after post on which apps are good, necessary, fun, and just downright awesome... and haven't come up with too many! Would love it if some of you guys (Who I know have nothing better to do than post screenshots) ;) would take some screen shots and post them of your setup, showing what cool apps, widgets, etc... that you have installed. Or even just listing some would work that you think are awesome.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dec3ption:
Thanks! Loving the ROM so far! I think I've finally taken out everything that I don't need :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
Not sure if posting them in this thread would be condusive to people trying to figure out issues the are having with their phone and ROM....but here are a few threads that I flip through to get some ideas of good widgets and setups!!!

...No, I hear ya...I myself like that little app that looks good when listening to VM. I'll keep you posted Dan :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kykiskly:
Gallery3D

So I guess this ROM doesnt like Gallery3D - I pushed the file to apps destination and open the apk, damn it does open but is laggy :)

Is this ROM OpenGL enabled?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
Yes this has Full Opengl and not Opengl lite....courtesy of Flipz and others for this fix. You can see the full story here.

It corrects the stablility of the LWP and deadens the effects of the Gallery3..........and launcher2 I believe.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] marcusva79:

so i played around with the rom...facebook wouldn't sync for me unfortunately. Also when i applied the apps2sd cache the phone would not boot...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
I have no idea why it will not work for you....are you trying the apps2sd ROM straight only.....or are you applying the patch over top of it?

Also do not set up auto killer during the SETUP process....deny SU access to auto killer to start off with.....the try syncing facebook. If all goes well, as it has for others.....go back into autokiller and set it up proper.

Hope this helps.

Anybody else getting a black SU permission screen when trying to start wifi tether?? and can some make a flashable zip to install the new htc keyboard on this rom?? Thanks in advance.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
In your tools folder....:)

C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Las_Vegas:
If you're on a PC, use the 'cd' command to change your directory to the folder that's holding the 'VoiceSearch.apk folder before entering the adb command. IE (assuming your PATH to the tools folder is previously set):

cd C:\Documents and Settings\Tony\My Documents\Downloads
adb push VoiceSearch.apk /system/app

If you're using a Mac, simply enter the 'adb push ' part in Terminal, drag the apk file into the terminal window to place the full path to the file and then add the '/system/app' portion after it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dec3ption:
Do you have USB debugging enabled?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Gambit727:

Which one?

Sorry trying to find, which weather/news app?

Again, TIA

jjjjayd13, ;):cool:

In your app drawer.....right after the Navigator app, is News and Weather. Go into the "add widget" section and add news and weather.

Don't just click on the news and weather app in the drawer.

Bluetooth Listening & Phone Calls

I've had this problem with every ROM but one (the first 2.0 ROM I tested), including the original 1.5 that came with the phone.

I have a BT device connected to the AUX port of my car radio. It also has a mic for receiving audio. When I drive I like to listen to podcasts from my phone. If a call come in, it's supposed to pause the audio and open the phone ap letting me talk on the phone hands free. The Hero doesn't auto-answer (yet?) so I have to press the Answer button to answer the phone.

Very rarely, it works as intended. The phone call comes through the bluetooth and when the phone call ends, the podcast continues.

Most of the time, it turns off the audio, but gives silence from the phone call. Nothing! Not even through the phone's speakers. The caller gets silence too. I then have to turn off BT and call them back from the phone without BT (Not safe IMO).

Now, If I place a call, before activating the podcast player, it usually works fine through the BT, but rarely am I able to play the podcast after the call unless I disconnect and reconnect the BT.

I was hoping this would be rectified in 2.1. Like I said, it worked fine with the first version I tried (DC, I think), but that version had too many other problems to keep it on my phone. Any ideas?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jdawg0528:
first, follow the instructions for copying ringtones, alarms, etc. from /system/media/audio to your sdcard (i just copied the audio folder to a folder called backup media on my sdcard). also, i already had a folder named media on my sdcard so i took my custom alarms and ringtones out of that and put them in the appropriate folder in the backup media folder. i then deleted the media folder on my sdcard.

to delete the files from the phone i had to use the "rm" command. all i did was plug my phone into my laptop via usb. open a command prompt and type the following (keep in mind the "c:\androidsdk\tools path might be different for you so put whatever you named your android sdk folder in between "c:\" and "\tools":

cd c:\androidsdk\tools

adb remount

adb shell

cd /system/media/audio

cd alarms

rm *.*

cd ..

cd ringtones

rm *.*

cd ..

cd notificataions

rm *.*

exit

exit

i then followed the rest of the instructions:

in my case i renamed the backup media to media (instead of media-RENAME to media)

hope that helps.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] masterninja:
Thank you. Very Nice.:)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] masterninja:
Thanks! Am going to RE-focus and DO IT! :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Las_Vegas:
If you don't have all of the audio files on your sdcard already and want to keep them but still remove them from system space use the following procedure:

cd c:\androidsdk\tools
adb remount
adb shell
cd /system/media/audio
mv -f alarms/*.* /sdcard/media/alarms
mv -f ringtones/*.* /sdcard/media/ringtones
mv -f notifications/*.* /sdcard/media/notifications
exit
exit
[Hero CDMA Android Development] masterninja:
Okay, so it worked - kinda. Everything seems to be gone from the system folder. However, when I go in to settings; sound and display; and choose a ringtone, doubles and triplets are still there. My notifications and alarms are gone, but can't seem to find the "phantom" ringtones to get rid of them. I don't want to keep ANY of the system's tones, notifications, or alarms. I make my own or download them.

@Las_Vegas... it's telling me, "failed on '-f' - No such file or directory"...

Thanks.

edit: Found the ringtones...
