TrevE, care to share that background image from dconfig? :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chugger93:
So what does this all mean? I ran dcpowertop
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Turdburglar:
Thanks douche bag, I asked for one that worked with THIS rom. I downloaded several already that don't work. Care to answer my question and tell me where I can find one in a newer rom , i.e. purehero/icerom that uses them, instead of just being a wise ass? As the app seems to have vanished from them yet still works? I don't have time to google all day like you.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] riggsandroid:
LOL. great name btw.

Treve, i need some of my fix....you always ready???????

I tried all this and I am getting the following error

any suggestions???
[Hero CDMA Android Development] spanglmd:
I keep getting issues with Error Code 67 after getting this ROM flashed. I have to manually connect/disconnect the Mobile Network a couple times before it will go through. Any ideas?

Also, I cannot get my FB pictures to sync. My own picture comes up from Facebook, but none of my contacts. My contacts are all converted to Google contacts. Any ideas on that one?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] icornwal:
Those should be 2 separate commands.

1. mount -a

2. rm /data/system/batterystats.bin
[Hero CDMA Android Development] revlis240:
can you wipe battery stats in the RA to try and improve battery life? without wiping anything else?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] icornwal:
yes. There is a wipe battery stats option.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] revlis240:
cool thanks, i didnt know if wiping batt stats would effect anything else. i remember seeing that option in the RA
[Hero CDMA Android Development] icornwal:
No problem. I've done it with no issues.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] spanglmd:
Also I've noticed another problem. Sometimes when my device sleeps it shuts off completely. When I press MENU to turn the screen back on, it boots the phone back up. What gives?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Revverok:
Okay after searching this thread it looks like there isn't a solution.

After wiping the phone, dalvik, and ext partition, I was able to install 2.08.1. However, I now have the sync icon being displayed all the time (Facebook isnt even setup), and my awake time is at 100%, I get notified that the gallery app crashes very often and I cannot change my homescreen wallpaper. Searching has given me literally nothing to do to fix all of this. What is going on?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kenpoman:
I had that happen also. I found that if I installed DC v2.07.2 then upgraded to 2.08.1 it worked without any of those issues
[Hero CDMA Android Development] spanglmd:
Sometimes when I go to wake up my phone, it just restarts. :confused:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bklynfire:

Some weirdness I noticed that may or may not have been reported yet.

Birthdates for contacts (possibly anniversaries too) are whacked out. If you try to edit them they get worse and never allow changes to be saved.

It seems to be an issue with the day dat file? they ar always one month and one day off but the years if set always seem to be 1970ish

Random crashes to home screen when looking through contacts. No force close just blanks you out to home.

Still has all day event bug as in previous hero (1.5) all day calendar events.

Custom ringtones not playing for contacts and randomly reseting to unknown or default ringtone in contacts even after updating them. The ringtones are fine and play normally in 1.5 without issue.

market seems very slow unresponsive and doesn't seem to update it's state. For example it will say downloading forever but if you home out and go back again you see the app is installed.

I'll post more as I find stuff and I hope this helps.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bklynfire:
this is the bugs I have with this new rom, any help would be greatly appreciated

1) random rebooting

2) lost search option in Contacts

3) all restored contacts (using My Backup Pro) automaticly changed from phone contacts to google contacts, with no ability to change that back

4) the group information for each contact got deleted (the custom groups remains but show 0 contacts)

5) in SMS horrible lagging, and specialy when trying to open big threads (the problem wasn't there with the old rom)

6) the old 1.5 rom automaticly added a send text message option to mobile numbers, this roms adds it to every phone number, which makes every contact longer

7) can't get the sync to my computer working again (uninstalled and re-installed the sync program and didn't help)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] posguy99:
And you're not using the partitioner in whichever recovery image you're running because...?

Don't deliberately invent complex procedures just because they sound cool. Boot to recovery, partition the sdcard, you're done. It's all menu-driven.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aiwetir:
I had the dreaded 'Damaged SD Card' error today. repartitioned, reflashed, everything is working, ordered a new sd card. thing isn't that old. anyone have any ideas how long these things should last?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ganjah:
So, I loaded this rom on my freshly-rooted Hero and everything worked fine.

However, I'm having a couple of serious issues:

First, I restored about 4000 texts to the device and now it takes 10-15 minutes just to open messaging, even after several reboots. This is significantly slower than 1.5 basic messaging app loaded. Like, that was nearly instantaneous, even for one contact that has about 2500 texts between she and I. Edit: Often, it simply won't open messaging (and just sits at a black screen) and says, "Sorry! Activity Messages (in application Messages) is not responding." I get to choose "Force Close" or "Wait" but waiting does nothing.

Secondly, I'm continually getting odd timeouts when I go to market and the browser. As in, I keep getting network errors that I've never gotten at any point before. I've rebooted the phone several times. My roommate's Mogul (formerly my Mogul that I sold to him) isn't having any issues whatsoever, so it's not reception or network issues. It's this phone and this rom. Edit 2: Now, instead of just getting random errors, it won't even connect to anything. I can't tether, I can't browse, I can't do anything online, and the uploading arrow is almost constantly lit for no apparent reason...

Lastly, the Hero just seems very, very sluggish overall after this flash. It takes 3.5-3.75 minutes to boot from power off, and it's much, much choppier than the stock 1.5 (or whatever it ships with) that I had previously. Another example is that, to make a call, I press People, it takes 45-60s to open my list of 92 contacts (no pictures, just names/numbers), then, when I am able to choppy-scroll to the one I want to call, I press the number I want to call and it takes over a minute to start the phone call sometimes, and all other times it just doesn't do anything. Then, while I'm on the call, it randomly hangs up.

Also, sometimes the phone will get an X over the reception meter, and the Ev will go away. What's this all about?

Overall, I'm pretty underwhelmed.

Are there some tips and tricks to speed this rom up? Anything I can do to specifically address the sluggish performance overall, and what about the horrible messaging performance and the almost unusable voice call performance?

[Hero CDMA Android Development] barnacles10:
Did you wipe your phone and the davlik before flashing? Its really hard to say what is causing the issues, considering some people don't have them. Therefore, it might not be the rom itself and more something underneath causing an issue. My phone is lightening fast with this rom. Boot takes about a minute, apps load just fine, messaging is snappy. As for the market, I don't have any issues with that either. Try clearing the caches of the market and uninstall any updates and see if that does anything for you. "Applications>market>clear cache, uninstall updates)

I have experienced a few of the problems with the dialer you speak of. Sometimes I will lose a call, or it will ring once and the call will disappear. I don't have any phonebook lag as you speak of though. The dialer lag though definitely existed before I flashed this rom in the stock 1.5 even. I downloaded dialer one from the market. It is a lot faster than the stock dialer imo and works great. You do know that you can search people from the dialer correct? This is another option, avoiding the address book altogether.

As for your network errors, I haven't had any. Make sure your PRLs are updated?

Other than that I don't know. Like I said its hard to determine the cause when I have had none of the issues you speak of, except the dialer being a bit buggy. Maybe a wipe and reflash will solve your problems. I know the first time I flashed 2.08.1 it didn't even install sense. I had to reflash and after that everything worked. You could also just try clearing the davlik again before that like I originally mentioned

Maybe also check what banned apps you have in DConfig. Heard of a few people having problems with sense banned. Not sure what your setup is, or if that will do anything for your problems, just throwing possibilities out there.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ganjah:
Thanks alot for the options and recommendations.

I guess my best bet is to reflash. That's a PITA but if it works, so be it. I'll let you know how it goes. :-)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] barnacles10:
I know.. it sure is. I'm interested to hear if it works, I would suggest testing it before adding back any of your apps/texts to see if the problems still exist.

Any word on our DConfig update Treve? :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ganjah:
Ugh.

I wiped/factory reset and wiped the davlik, reinstalled the rom, and now I still can't connect to the network. Ugh! Edit: I have no cellular data connection whatsoever. None.

What do I do now? I have to have this phone working by tomorrow...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] barnacles10:
Last I heard this was being looked into

Shows processes that are waking your phone for whatever reason and how often. Used to determine whats using the CPU which equals battery

Hmm.. what PRL is onyour phone? Settings>about phone>software info.. should be the last box, and I believe should be running version 60664
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ganjah:
PRL Version is 60664

P.S. I need a stiff friggun drink.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] durandetto:
Try redownloading the ROM. They can be corrupted during the download sometimes.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ganjah:
Yup, that was what I figured my next move is. I'm going to do that after nand restoring the backup I made. Hopefully that will tell me if my phone is d0rked.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] barnacles10:
Haha. Were you running any version of DC before this one? Did you wipe and flash or upgrade through DCupdate if you were previously running it? The reason I ask is a lot of the posts I have read about people having issues was from a wipe and flash of 2.08.1.

Check DConfig and see what apps are banned before doing anything. I've heard of issues with sense banned and maybe unban sprint apps if they are.

Worst case, you could attempt flashing 2.08 and seeing how that goes (the version before this). If it works, you could then decide if you want to upgrade to 2.08.1 from DC, or simply stick it out till the next release which I'm sure isn't too far away.

<~~ Running out of ideas..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ganjah:
I was running the stock rom (1.5?) that the Hero ships with. I had never rooted or flashed it prior to tonight. I did the flashrec, wipe, and flash from zip as instructed in the multiple places detailing how to do it.

What the heck? I just did a nand restore, and STILL can't get a network connection. This is unreasonable. What the heck happened?

Do these flashes not overwrite everything completely and load new software from the ground up? Is there something that can be corrupted in these devices from a simple flash to a new rom, that the rom doesn't overwrite?

I don't get why my nand restore didn't put EVERYTHING back to the original state... I wish I was more knowledgeable about this, but I simply don't get it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] etl:
It's not coming up as an option.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] durandetto:
I have been having a lot of problems with this ROM also. I first tried flashing over 2.08 and was having horrible battery life and a few other problems. So, I wiped everything redownloaded the ROM and installed it then did the battery calibration. Battery life got a little better but, still not as goo as 2.08. Also occasionally in messages I will type a message and it won't let me send, until I reboot and try again. Sense restarts frequently, especially when I swipe to the screen with the Friendstream widget on it. When calling my phone it rings 3.5-4 times before my phone starts to ring. I have GV set up for voicemail and it still sends me text messages from the native VM app. and shows no voicemail in my GV inbox.

This the first time I have really had any kind of trouble with a DC ROM and I've ran them all at one point. Hopefully we get the official 2.1 and a new DC soon!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] durandetto:
They don't overwrite your radio image, you have to do that separately. Check out geekfor.me for different radio images and instructions on how to flash.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mDR0ID:
I just flashed last night. Loving android 2.1, no problems at all. I have a question though, did anyone else receive an email from the Android Team(Google) to their gmail about their new Nexus One? Just wondering.

Thanks,

Matt
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ganjah:
Really. It sounds like that was corrupted somehow in this flash. That's a big deal. How is that possible?

Just for the record, I can make calls out, but I haven't been able to receive a call or text, nor make any data connections since about 2 hours after flashing. At first when I flashed, everything was fine. It's been downhill since then.

Thanks for the info. I'll check out flip's site.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] barnacles10:
I was just gonna say that. The issue must me with the radio. I have never used auto rooters, I always suggest people manually root for the experience and I've heard of hiccups during auto root processes. I don't think damages roms contain radio files? So I'm not sure if flash rec flashes radios or what.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] barnacles10:
A while back yes.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rsol0328:
Try turning on and the off the wifi and or the network. That worked for me a couple of times.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ganjah:
Thanks for the recommendations, but I did try that to no avail before posting here. I've flashed the newest radio and am flashing DC 2.08.1 again with high hopes that everything will be hunky dory. :-) Also, mixing up bourbon + coke #2, and gonna load a fresh bowl. :-p
[Hero CDMA Android Development] durandetto:
Good Luck, getting ready to reflash 2.08.1 myself.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] ganjah:
Haha well, my junior year of undergrad is over. I finished my 2nd semester with 7 A's and 1 B (a 1 credit lab), for a total of 22 credits and 20 unpaid hours a week at an internship. I'd say the coping strategies are well earned in this, my only week off before summer school + 40hr/wk job start. :-P

We'll see how this all goes.

Edit: Wow, this isn't good. Even after reflashing DC 2.08.1 and the newest radio from geekfor.me, I still can't get a data connection. Uhh. Anything else I can do before I poop myself?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] barnacles10:
Try what dan suggested. now 2 posts above this
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sj0721:
Just a follow-up to my post. I ran the RUU on my Hero to see if that would enable the vibrating again and it did not. Tried soft-reset and hard-reset and nothing worked. I took the device to Sprint today and they advised the vibrate was defective and swapped the Hero out. I'm not sure if this defect was in relation to installing DamageControl or if it's a coincidence that it stopped working after I installed the ROM.

Just wanted to share the outcome with everyone in case any of you run into the same issue.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] spanglmd:
I just graduated, have no job, and less than $200 in my bank account. And just watched another Cleveland failure. Trump that
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ganjah:
He did say coping strategy, not black-out-to-forget strategy. ;-)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] spanglmd:
haha, true. i just wish i could get this rom working correctly
[Hero CDMA Android Development] durandetto:
If wiping doesn't work I would have to say it's time to RUU and start over.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ganjah:
Yeah, I booted into DC 2.08.1 after wiping, flashing, and flashing the radio, then rebooting again just to make sure everything was square, followed Dan's recommendations with the data settings, and still doesn't work - zero data connections whatsoever.

I'm trying a different rom. I'm a bit worried about my phone, but I've never had anything irreparable happen in 2 years of flashing roms, so we'll see. Aloysius_2.0.8_Maps is the new attempt.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] barnacles10:
Whats wrong with yours?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] spanglmd:
messaging app is sluggish, 100% awake time, and when it does sleep, after about 5 minutes waking it up causes it to reboot.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] barnacles10:
Alright, however I don't know if its the rom. If you created your nand before you flashed, then flashing back to that went back to 1.5, in which case you were running no custom roms and instead running sprints release. If it didn't work after doing that, I don't know if a new rom will do anything.. :/
[Hero CDMA Android Development] barnacles10:
Messaging app has always been a bit sluggish for me, even before flashing any roms. I have been told to try market messengers, but I like the HTC one just fine, aside from its speed.

As for the awake time, are you running sense? JIT?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] spanglmd:
sense, no JIT, don't even know what that is.

Also, my Sense is not a banned app. Although when I make changes in DConfig (lowmemkiller etc) they don't stick.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] barnacles10:
Haha alright, try running powertop in adb and see what that tells you

The memory killer is not sticking. Thats a known issue. We should have a new dconfig out soon

[Hero CDMA Android Development] darthjoe:
I've had the new rom for two days now, and everything was great until tonight, my clock time started jumping. It would change to two hours ahead, then jump back. If I turn my phone off, then back on, the time corrects itself, but invariably starts jumping 2 hours forward then back after a bit. I tried a thread search, but didn't find a similar problem.

Anyone have a solution?

Edit: When I look at the world clock at the 2 hour ahead mark, it shows my current time as +2 hours, and my home time as the correct time. It looks like the phone is getting confused as to my location (even though my correct city is still on the front home page).

Anyone else have this problem?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] barnacles10:
not sure, timer and msm are usually high, not quite sure what they are

Are your time options set to auto in date and time? If they are maybe just manually select your time zone?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Squiggy45:
!

Good to know that other folks use the same tools I do! :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] etl:
I did, i was kinda confused.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darthjoe:
Yep...was on automatic. Manually set the time zone, and it seems to be working. Strange that the automatic sync kept jumping around like that though. :confused:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chfields:
Did the DConfig ever get updated??? I haven't seen it on the updater yet....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] spanglmd:
Not yet. Maybe tomorrow for a full ROM update
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chfields:
Thanks....although, I don't like the full updates as I have to go back through and reflash everything. The vanilla lockscreen, blue echo v4 theme, background pic and trying to get godzsons icons to work without bootlooping.....:D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abcdfv:
2.08.1 doesnt appear to like my phone. App crashes, reboot loops, extreme taskbar lag, anytime i end a call get a "signal lost" error. Wiped data/dalvik/ext. Fixed apk uid mismatches. Toggled banned apps, enabled/disabled JIT, redownloaded the ROM. Same thing every flash.
