Thank you so much. Now do you know if I can remove the bootanimation through root explorer? I have seen it there using that app or do I have to do it via adb only? I used this app to remove most of my bloatware.

And yes always doing a Nandoroid before trying anything, it has saved me from many problems.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] riggsandroid:
Sorry, not sure to be honest. I only use adb...:confused:

Time to learn to use adb? ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] miguelfp1:
I'm pretty sure you can... just make sure to "Mount as R/W" first.

Also, a program called AndroidCommander can accomplish the same thing on the computer, using ADB as it's backbone but with a graphical interface.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smw6180:
I believe so, but as Riggs noted I also use adb, so...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kenpoman:
all i was saying is that that question has been asked several times and answered in this thread alone. not to mention other threads. I don't mind helping people but when they don't try to look first i find it lazy.

btw you can edit and do all these changes through root explorer!

So what's going on with Damageless? anybody heard of any updates on his ROM? or is it a dead walking subject now?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
Damage is on his honeymoon....he told a few people on this forum appearently, and TreVE is on destination vacation with his sister (so I've heard) :) They will be back, just taking some much needed/deserved time off from building.....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] someonenewhere:
Oh yeah..I forgot he said he was getting married anytime soon......

well hopefully when either one of them get back...things get back on Track..been waiting for the new update...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aisseleacim03:
Exactly...where do i go/read about how to use adb?

Is there a special thread that teaches you all about it? adb for dummies?

Thanks again.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] riggsandroid:
A great place to start

Wiki
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aisseleacim03:
All I am saying is just not to be so quick to pass on judgement or make assumptions.

I do my work, I do search the forums, but sometimes the answers you get are embeded inside a thread that is like this one and you have to go and dig it around. The search system is trully not that user friendly.

And if you do find an answer most probabaly is part of a thread and it is writen most of the times in language that everybody assumes everyone understands. Well I dont, being that I am new to this.

All I am asking is to point me in the right direction, not only about the bootanimation but in general, how to use adb, how to insert one line into a zip file that changes the whole content of what ever you are trying to do, and finally how to start developing stuff.

If you have an answer, or you can guide me then thank you so much.

I trully appriciate letting me know that root explorer does work.

If I were Damage or Trev I would drop the new ROM in the updater when it was ready and see how long it takes the thread to explode before posting anything. Just to have a little fun.

Thanks for sharing this. Quite a few people, me included, were wondering.

As for the ROM, I just wanted to thank damageless and TrevE for all the work they have done. It's been a blast for me!

My wife is getting the Hero after I get my EVO on the 4th. She wants stock Sprint 2.1 so I flashed the RUU and I'm letting her get used to it now. I know... :rolleyes: ...believe me, it's easier to put up with a week of stock Sprint than to argue with the wife (who put up no fight with me getting the EVO).

Ahh the joys of marriage... BTW, congratulations damageless!!:D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tkirton:
I can assure you that Flipzmode and Damage are not the same person.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] typeadam:
i spent 6 hours trying to figure this out!!!!!

OK, this is as basic as basic gets but I'm having issues with it. I tried installing various icon packs on this ROM b/c I like the Droid/N1 icons (especially Camera & Music) but the phone just goes into endless reboot.

So my question: can anyone provide me w/ a way to have the music app w/ the Droid/N1 icon (the blue speaker) and the camera app w/ the Droid/N1 icon (the shutter)?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sidepart:
Where can I find information about the options in DCConfig and what DCPowertop does?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] camrat:
How do I? Bring on the jokes.....

So, Im a newb! Yes I will ask questions that have been asked, what I need to know is this. I used the Sprint Leaked Rom: So I have 2.1....I have read and realized that the cool thing to do is use these other awesome ROMs like this one. My question is How would I go about getting this. Do I just download and overwrite..I see all forums for backing up and shizzle. Some pointers would be awesome...

Thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] icornwal:
I wrote a step by step how to get Damage Control. I think the DC Rom is a little old but you can just download 2.08.1 instead and use it.

http://goo.gl/KEzl
[Hero CDMA Android Development] KBizzle:
If you have flashed the sprint leak, more than likely you cannot do anything until they root 2.1. Currently they are working on it. Until then, you cannot flash any custom roms.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sidepart:
I'd be more than willing to help, but I'm a little short on time. The basics go like this however, you might be able to google from there and expand upon it.

All you do is load the ZIP onto your phone's sd card. You don't have to unzip it or anything, just leave it all as is. You reboot your phone into the recovery console. From the recovery console you SHOULD ALWAYS backup your phone. It's one of the options in the recovery console to make a nandroid backup to your SD card. After that you use the recovery console to wipe your phone. Then after wiping, you use the recovery console to flash a new ROM, just select the ROM's zip and away you go. The first bootup after this could take anywhere from 5-15 minutes.

That's the jist of it but I remember doing all of this other stuff too:

1. Update your recovery console before starting. This is just good practice to make sure that you have a ton of features to work with. Someone keeps updating it, you can find around here, it's updated a lot, just grab the newest one. I don't have the instructions for installing it handy, but you'll need the Android SDK to do it. I found instructions and installed it myself no problem. There are even some different cutesy color/theme variants of it, mine is blue with a care bear or something in the background.

2. Figure out how to boot your phone into the recovery console. I think it's some combination of holding the down volume, home and power button. Alternatively you can use the Android SDK with your phone hooked up to your PC using USB. With the SDK's ADB program you can reboot into recovery mode kind of like a computer (you use a dos command prompt, navigate to the SDK folder/tools where adb.exe is located and use the command "adb reboot recovery").

3. Once you pop your ROM loading cherry, it's smooth sailing going forward. The process isn't hard, and you'll probably be quite promiscuous with trying out new ROMs.

I'll see if I can get some more details up here later.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sidepart:
Ah...yeah...that's right. If you're running Sprint's actual 2.1 release, it's not rooted yet and you'll probably run into issues. Not sure on this myself yet.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ziaodix:
Unless he used damageless' Sprint "signed release" update.zip. Which is what I did. He then would have retained root and upgraded to 2.1.

In which case it would be the exact same method you went through to get that one on your phone. Download the zip file from the 1st post, copy it to the root of your SD Card, reboot your phone into recovery, do a nandroid backup(always recommended), then wipe your phone(including dalvik), then flash the downloaded zip(ROM) from SD card, reboot and vuala.

Looks as though I was late to the party. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] riggsandroid:
Woops, hadn't hist refresh in a while, plenty of answers already.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sidepart:
You wipe the Dalvik-cache? I haven't done that, what's that supposed to do anyway? I only select "Wipe date/factory reset".

EDIT: Nvm, seems like wiping it speeds up your phone a little. Installing the rom SHOULD wipe the cache as part of the boot, damageless mentions this in his changelog. Of course, there's no harm in doing it anyway. This is most likely what makes the first boot take such a long time I read.

I'm going to try wiping it to see if my phone speeds up. It's been a tad sluggish lately. I plan on wiping/reinstalling everything (including my apps on the sd) when I get my new micro-sd in a couple of days. Till then, whatever greases the engine.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] crxmax:
oh damageless where art thou?

rumor has it damageless and treve will be releasing froyo with sense ui @ edc in LA this june.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smw6180:
Jeeze. Ok, knock it off. If you're having problems or comments on the ROM, by all means, post. But all these pointless posts about 'where's Damage and Trev' and 'conversational' posts are completely ridiculous. Go post in General if you want to babble aimlessly, that's what it's there for.

Thanks

Just wanted to say thanks for this very nice ROM. I waited to see what the reviews were on the official 2.1 RUU before deciding to go the rooted route. It only took one try to get, this my first, ROM working. Works great, just wish the Hero had a faster cpu...

Keep up the good work.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dasacc22:
alright Im really not having much luck with wifi tether or barnacle. The latest barnacle has a setting for "custom ad-hoc" where you can select hero-eris and it loads up a kernel module. That aside, both seem to start just fine, I can find them in kubuntu and windows 7 but when I go to connect to them, it just flops. Windows 7 is less then verbose about whats going on and it just flops. The logs on the phone for each respective app look fine and show everything started up ok.

In linux, when i go to connect to it, all I get in my syslog is

wpa_supplicant[962]: WPS-AP-AVAILABLE

and then a "activation [...]: association took too long, failing activation"

As far as wifi tether goes, ive tried the latest version which i read doesn't work, i've tried 1.60 and ive tried 1.61pre1? or "pre" something. Both 1.60 and 1.61pre are doing the same thing. Id like to blame this as a linux issue but i had no success in windows either.

I also tried to set a static IP, set to the wifi tether network its setting up, but no go there either, It drops the msg on me WPS-AP-AVAILABLE and then a "eth1: link timed out."

Any insight on this would be fantastic, Thanks,

Daniel
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aiwetir:
it may be simpler than that, i don't always connect with wifi-tether 1.60 unless i toggle the mobile network
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dasacc22:
bah, why do i always figure this stuff out minutes after I post.

Ok so thinking back to windows 7, i think it was connecting then disconnecting b/c it was being pissy for some reason. I know i know, wtf does that even mean, but im going to be using this in linux sooo

I noticed when i was selecting "connect to ad-hoc network..." it didn't default the connection type to ad-hoc, it defaulted to infrastructure, lame

So i did this and now I'm successfully connecting to the phone but cant reach the outside world. For example, pinging open dns servers fails

ping 208.67.222.222

I saw some information about this *somewhere* (ha) so guess Ill go digging, just an update

Re: [ROM] DamageControl v2.08.1 | DCPowertop, Theme Server, DConfig, Friendstream, mo

I've noticed that my battery life is pretty bad. I lose between 8 and 12% every hour and that's not even touching the phone. When using the phone then it just bombs down any clue what I can do o make the battery life last longer?

-------------------------------------

[Hero CDMA Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
What you need to do is reset the battery. There is a wiki that tells you how to do it somewhere in the forums, but basically:

1) Charge phone until the LED at the top turns green

2) Reboot into recovery and wipe battery stats (it should be an option in the latest RA-heroc recovery)

3) Use phone normally (and I stress normally, don't purposely drain battery life) until the phone dies and will not boot again

4) Recharge until full, and you're good to go

This is essentially a recalibration of your battery to suit the new ROM. I was having the same problem, performed this, and now my battery lasts around 35 hours between full charges.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ukn0wnscaa:
Re: [ROM] DamageControl v2.08.1 | DCPowertop, Theme Server, DConfig, Friendstream, mo

I've already done that once with the stock battery. Ill try that with the batteries I just bought. Odd to me atleast that I would have to do that with a brand new battery

I have this issue too ocassionally....I reboot my phone and it usually works then.

Not really a huge deal, but annoying.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] liquidtenmillion:
When you calibrate the battery it specifically calibrates to the battery you have in the phone(calibrating specifically to how many mA are left in the battery after normal wear). Every time you switch the battery in the phone you should recalibrate the battery meter.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
Some people have been complaining about excessively high awake times; I haven't had this problem myself, but there have been numerous posts about it from others, so that could be a factor.

Another option is to try the Fresh ROM ... its based off of the official RUU, so you might have more success with it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ukn0wnscaa:
I haven't had excessive awake time but ill flash a fresh rom. I havent used it since Fresh 2.0b2. also I have to recalibrate my battery each tiem i switch them out? I switch batteries out on a fairly regular basis if I am not home or going to be able to get to a charger.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smw6180:
If you want an accurate reading, yep.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ItsDon:
I get the best battery life out of Fresh 2.1.1

I've tried lots of roms (still do!) but haven't found one yet that give me a better battery life.

I am surprised though that we even need to do a battery stat reset. I thought Lithium Ion batteries did away with the whole 'battery memory' thing that plagued NiMH batteries, no?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ukn0wnscaa:
so what would be the best thing to do since it seems like I switch batteries on a semi-regular basis?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smw6180:
I'd calibrate it to the battery you use most often, then hope for the best when you have to switch the batteries.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smw6180:
I believe the memory in this case is in the OS, not the battery. I don't honestly think that just because the battery indicator says '0%' the phone will shut off if the calibration is wrong. Not that I've tried it, but it's my pet theory.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
If you calibrate each battery in the same manner, then each will be optimized for that phone/ROM and will (hopefully) perform equally well interchangeably. While I have not tried it on the scale that you describe, I have 2 batteries that I switch from time to time, both calibrated for the same ROM, and both get the same battery life. Without this calibration, it is very possible that you will receive the same issues on whichever ROM you use.

Apps2 SD2SD??

So I am running DC2.08 and I have ordered a bigger memory (Class 4) and my tracking number says it is out for delivery, while it is being delivered I am wondering if someone on here help me figure out what is the best way to transfer my apps from existing sd card to the new one? (I am thinking maybe nadroid ext backup and restore on the new card?)

I am not sure if my thinking is right since the new card will be class 4 and maybe the apps gets corrupted? Has anyone done this in the past and what is the procedure?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rufflez2010:
Yup, thats how I would do it, but first:

You have to stick the blank card in and partition it., then transfer files (you can use USB-MS and not even boot up the phone) and then nand-restore.

Here is a toasts overclocked kernel made for damagecontrol or one based on it. Two people have tested and confirmed it working. Its overclocked to 710mhz by default. If you want to overclock to 768 or adjust the clock speeds youll need download setcpu or OC widget.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jus10o:
The audio fix was a mixture of different things to get it to work. This kernel is a fully working kernel, and toast said he fixed audio in it. So you shouldnt have to flash the audio kernel if you flashed this one.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jus10o:
Do what the post below me says first.. If it is checked then do the following. If all fails then youll have to do a clean install.

Try to flash a fresh copy of damage control on top of everything, dont wipe. Then flash the damage.zip without wiping. Hopefully that fixes your problem.

You wont lose anything and your homescreen and apps will still be there if the flashing go without a problem. Just do a nandroid of your current set up in case it corrupts anything.

Try reflashing full DC rom over your current set up without wiping. Then try to reflash the update from HERE

Also dont download setcpu or OC widget. Your phone might not be able to run anything higher then 710mhz, there is even a chance it cant run that.

I dont want to loose my audio again, is that a possibility?

If installing it is as easy as I know it is and there might be no issues (I know that cannot be guranteed), I would love to give it a shot. I just want to understand what will I get from it and what to expect.
