where is damage, we would like to know about the new update we heard coming soon but how is it coming along?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] KUweatherman:
That is what it is supposed to do.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] spanglmd:

This worked. I looked for something like this, but was looking in the wrong place. i.e. the display settings. Thanks.

the wait....

... now it just feels like waiting for sprint to come up with their 2.1 release!!!! Treve and damage, come on guys!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] blau69:
Personally I am willing to cut damage and treve some lack here. First off I am sure they have day jobs, so are probably doing this as they have time. Second, from what I understand the 2.1RUU removes the SU hack, so I would assume they have to figure out a way around that.

So, I suggest we stop ragging on them. I am sure they will get the update out as soon as they can and you can bet that it will work. Unlike the "Official" RUU that looks to not really work a lot of the times.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] heroid007:
I agree bro....

I don't want to make it 100 more threads here arguing, honestly it was never meant to be a rag, I am astonished at their silence/quietness after damage promised a new release, and Treve teased us with couple of screen shots of new DCconfig and by all means I understand about their lives out of the box (xda forum) ..... when every one is flying off with their new ROMs (even some are messing with Froyo already!! and I know it may not be stable, but we follow these forums and these great minds less for stability and more for curiosity/"wow" factor) it makes someone with so much faith in these guys' work and following them every day wonder why are they so quiet!!! But again quiet is good and too quiet is a little skeptical ;)

By all means I understand they are doing it for fun and free, but they are celebrities in this forum and like anywhere else with celebrity status comes a little nagging! So that's all.....

Inbetween, I had no idea official Sprint RUU is not stable enough to be official afterall!! :D

DC ROM and apps to be removed

I have posted this on the apps and themes forum but being that I am running dc 2.08.1. and this is a forum dedicated to it...well here it goes.

If you know the answers great, if not, please dont send me to search on the above mentioned forum becasuse I just did and most of the info there relates to ROMS that have odex files, which the 2.1 Roms dont have.

I have root explorer which makes it really easy to delete bloatware and other apps.

I have deleted some already but I am wondering if anyone has deleted the following and their phone still works well (after rebooting it)

Browser.apk (If I use Dolphin)

com.htc.friendstreamwidget.apk

com.htc.MusicWidget.apk

com.htc.WeatherWidget.apk

DCSWeather.apk

GenieWidget.apk

GlobalSearch.apk

htccontactwidgets.apk

HTC_IME.apk

htcmsgwidget.apk

HtcPPST.apk

HtcSoundRecorder.apk

Vending.apk

VoiceDialer.apk

Any of the weather.apk

WorldClock.apk

Also if anyone can point me where to check my overall memory availability?

Right now, again through root explorer I see "/system/app 133.54MB used, 34.46MB free

Does that mean I only have 34.46MB free overall. Or this is just on this sub folder?

Is the ROM I/we are using so heavy that just that is the amount of free space I will have regardless of what I do?

If 34.46 is my overall memory left...what do I need to do to get it to increase to greater levels. Isee some post that claim to have close to 100MB of free space.

Thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] riggsandroid:
You're going to want to use A2SD if you are looking for more space. Do a search for A2SD or apps2sd and you should find some information on how to accomoplish this. It is built into this ROM, so really all you need to do is partition your SD card, but find a thread and read up a little.

There is also a thread for safe apps to remove. (Here is how to remove them, and it lists a number of those that can be removed)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dec3ption:
You can remove the friendstream, weather, contacts, msg, and music widgets if you'd like along with geniewidget and htcsoundrecorder. Vending is the market and HTC_IME is the keyboard so I wouldn't delete those (You can delete the keyboard if you have another one installed). The others I'm not sure about.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dhero1:
If the devs happen to be working with 2.2 instead, I'm willing to wait! :p
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bcarter2000:
I have found that if you set you vibration length to 0 under keyboard settings then the dialer stops vibrating as well.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Thomas1218:
The silence is deafening. I think something big is on its way. Anywho I have a question. I don't know what triggers it but sometimes when I go to the homescreen my wallpaper is shifted over a smidge but when you swipe to a different screen it goes back to normal. Any idea how to fix this and am I the only one with this problem? Thanks

If I remember correctly, I've deleted the following from your list:

com.htc.MusicWidget.apk

htccontactwidgets.apk

htcmsgwidget.apk

HtcSoundRecorder.apk

VoiceDialer.apk

weather.apk

WorldClock.apk

I haven't had any side-effects from that, but I have always told people the same thing:

Make a backup and start yanking things out. The worst that can happen is that you have to reload your backup and start over. Each reload of the DC ROM emboldens me and I try getting rid of more and more crap that I don't use.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] DozeBeatS:
Hey guys, running 2.08 and for some reason, I cant seem to get the clock widget to show the weather. Its stuck on "my location". Anyone know how to fix this? I can find a city near me (not my actual city) and use that and it will show the weather, but thats not what I want. The location setting isnt pulling my location.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smw6180:
have you tried a weather refresh? If not, try that. Otherwise, go into and out of airplane mode (or reboot) and that usually fixes it. I'm not sure it's a ROM problem as much as a location finder problem. I have that issue occasionally on Fresh 2.11 and Fresh-Toast, as well as DC 2.0.8.x
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DozeBeatS:
Tried Airplane and a reboot, no good. What do you mean by weather refresh? If you mean from within the weather app then yeah, tried that already too. Im stumped.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] johnny15:
Mine did this the other day.....couldn't figure out why or how to resolve it (didn't look that long since it wasn't that important) but it eventually resolved itself.

Location issues

Try opening Maps and finding your location with Gps. Sometimes doing this fixes location issues throughout other apps.

Perfectly Running HTC Hero on v2.08.1

Just want to thank you Damageless for a perfect rom. After reading all the grief the official Sprint 2.1's are having I am so happy to have your rom on my phone. I'm loyal and not going anywhere.......... Thanks for your work and congratulations on your marriage. Will look forward to your updates way after the honeymoon..........

Thank you so much........

Lisa ;)

So what's the deal its been almost 4 days since the official release and still not a word about a new release. Really thinking about switching to fresh, but would like to stick with dc since I've been running It since day one.

Mine have been fine. In camera settings, turn off auto iso and change it to 800. That usually fixes it.

Blank screen

Last night phone started acting up. I hit the power button to bring the screen up and... nothing. I pull the battery, put it back in, hit the power button to boot up the phone and the screen still doesn't come on BUT I feel the little vibrate so I know it's booting.

I've tried going into recovery and its the same thing... screen will not come on.

Any ideas?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smw6180:
Do an adb logcat and see what's happening. If you can't figure it out that way, reflash over what you currently have with no wipe and that should fix it. If it DOESN'T, you're looking at a full wipe/flash.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jeepasaurus:
I can't even get the screen to come up to re-flash. I don't care if I have to do a full wipe/flash, but I can't even get the phone to display anything to do that.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smw6180:
From a command prompt do an adb devices. If that shows anything, then do an adb shell reboot recovery

Or try turning your phone on while holding the home button.

Edit: Basically I want to see if adb is coming up. If not, try 'fastboot devices' from a command prompt and see if you see anything. It should show your phone's serial number.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jeepasaurus:
Also, correct me if I'm wrong... but I don't think I can get adb logcat to work because I can't get USB debugging enabled.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smw6180:
if it goes into an adb boot logcat should work from boot. I don't believe (someone correct me if I'm wrong) that debugging makes any difference until the phone's loaded.

Um. Nevermind I'm wrong. Without debugging adb doesn't work at boot time either, just tested.

Do you use a2sd? Pull the SD card, try and boot. You'll get a mess of FC's but if it's the SD card causing an issue that will tell you.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jeepasaurus:
adb devices shows nothing... again I think this is because USB debugging is disabled.

I've tried turning the phone off, holding home and then power to get to recovery mode. Again, the screen does not display anything. I don't see the boot logo or anything. The screen remains off.

In short... adb is not coming up and 'fastboot devices' is not showing anything either.

I've tried pulling the SD card and booting as well. Nothing displays on screen. No HTC Logo no white HTC screen... no sprint logo. The phone vibrates to let me know it is booting. But nothing is being displayed on screen.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smw6180:
Try plugging it into the wall, instead of the USB port and boot. If it doesn't work, let it charge from the wall for 5-10 minutes and then try it. I know it sounds weird, but I've seen that work, too.

If none of that works, I'm out of ideas. Take 'er to Sprint and let them look at it, unless anyone else has any ideas.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jeepasaurus:
The problem started last night... I pulled the battery so it was "off" and then put it back in and left it off while it charged. Tried this morning and the screen came on once or twice... but it was random. And now it won't come on at all. Looks like I might have to make a trip to Sprint and see what they can do.

I'm still open to suggestions.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smw6180:
Like I said: Try it plugged into the wall. I've seen phones with full charge have this problem. I don't guarantee it will work, but in some cases booting it while plugged into AC power does the trick. But that's the last thing I can think of to do. It doesn't sound like it's getting to the boot portion at all, which can indicate a corrupt filesystem, or a bad ROM or any number of hardware issues.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jeepasaurus:
So, I put in the stock SD card... plugged it into the wall and it's displaying again. This is just too f-ed up. I'll keep "testing" and let you know what I find.

Since I seem to be having problems with 2.08.1 anyone got any recommendations for another ROM?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smw6180:
Fresh 2.11. I wouldn't go with Fresh-Toast until you're sure you're not having hardware issues. Sounds like a bad SD card (though I'm honestly not sure why it wouldn't boot when taking it out if it's the card that's the problem).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] someonenewhere:
DAMAGELESS ...what's up man? when are you planning on updating your ROM?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] egnin1:
Not sure what happen to him! he has said nothing to anyone that i know of. He has not giving a update to his new rom for the official rom that's out. seems everyone is busy messing with froyo! but hey at least this rom is working OK for the most part. ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jeepasaurus:
Back to the same problems. I've let it sit off and plugged it in and then tried booting... same thing, vibrates and no display. I've tried with the SD card in and with it out. Nothing. Say I get it to boot to recovery to flash back to stock so I can bring it into Sprint... what / where would that be located?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smw6180:
Where would what be located? the stock rom? Find the 1.56 RUU (or flash the 2.1 RUU from Sprint's site, it hasn't semi-bricked anyone that I know of, whereas the 1.56 RUU has a 1:10 failure rate). Either of those RUU's will bring it back to a state where you can bring it to Sprint.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] canterrain:
If you set the dcupdater to find experimental roms, a version will come up with an audio fix. This seems to mostly fix the problem for me, so long as I avoid opening certain things like layer or messing with in call volume.

I havent seen any yet!! lol Im actually thinking of losing root and just downloading the official,lol.

But I do understand people do have lives and things come up so I cant blame them one bit and just try to be patient and hope something comes out.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] superlinkx:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] watzone69:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] Envynet:
I have that odd feeling that some devs are vanishing because in a weeks time they won't own a hero anyways. Hopefully this isnt the case with damage but I do find it odd they are not at least posting any kind of update what so ever on the progress. As good as he is cyanogen still develops for the g1 even though he has had a nexus for a long time.

Guess there is not much else to do but keep waiting lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cirehawk:
Agreed. I understand they donate their time and efforts, and there are no expectations on my part. I'm grateful for all they have given us to this point. If they are indeed moving on to the EVO (or something else), no problem. Hopefully one of them will post a message soon stating their plans one way or the other. I will have my Hero until at least October, since that is when I'm eligible to upgrade again. I may keep it a little longer because I REALLY like my Hero (though the EVO looks awesome). Knowing damages and Trev's plans will help me decide where I go from here. If they continue to provide updates, I will continue to use them. If not, I will either stick with their current ROM or move to another ROM that is still actively being developed for the Hero. A quick post from either of them shouldn't take too much of their time. I think the lack of any post from them in a while is what has everyone so anxious. :)

And I got it to install the Official Sprint 2.1 RUU. (I know i won't be able to ROOT the phone... I'd rather have a phone that works right now though). I'm still having the problem with the screen. Everything boots fine and I can answer calls, I just have no idea who is calling. I'll be taking it to Sprint today. Just thought I would update you all with my progress.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] buzzzzjay:
I actually had trouble with the voicemail missing because I was trying to get rid of the navigation. I got sick of it trying to run in the background. If you go to DConfig or DamagedConfig and Click on the button on the bottom for Banned Apps check and see if SprintApps is checked. If it is it disables all sprint apps including voicemail. After a reboot that sould fix it. Goodluck!

Remove apps before flashing ROM?

I'm considering wiping & re-flashing DC 2.08.1, and there are certain system apps I end up removing anyway, like friendstream, Nascar, Sprint TV etc... Can I simply delete them from the rom zip file (in directory system/app) prior to flashing or does that mess things up in the ROm flashing process?

If you edit zip file then it will fail the "verification" process as the md5sum of the zip will not match.

If you edit an update.zip you will not be able to flash it.
