1) Google Voice 0.3.4 runs fine, except when I try to dial out it dials from my Sprint number, not my Google number. I use Google Voice for all calls, and the only feature that doesn't work right is the dial-out. Tried numerous installs on several different leak-based roms ... and checked the forums, I'm not the only one with this issue

2) Typo, meant to say 1.6, not 0.6 (my bad). Not overclocking, but when you say you don't have a heat problem, my guess is you've never run it for more than 20 min. I remember back when I ran MoDaCo 1.5 (way in yesteryear) I was running 1.70pre2, and the heat issue went WAY down. Hence, I'm hoping even later versions further reduce it.

3) I don't have apps2sd either ... it actually slows down applications loading, and I have no need.

4) When I say occasionally, I'm talking MAYBE 5 times since I updated to 2.08.1 when it came out, so its very infrequent. But again, others have had the same issue.

Like I said ... no beef whatsoever with 2.08.1, I've tried several ROMs and this guy has all others beat hands-down IMO. These were just the (incredibly) small improvements I was hoping to see with 2.09. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] subcypher:
1) That's odd. I use Google Voice for all calls as well. Love that app. I just called my work phone from my Hero and my Google Voice number came up on the caller ID.

2) I figure that was a typo. I understood. I don't use it that often, but when I do, it's for an extended time. I surfed these threads yesterday while updating Ubuntu on my netbook using Wifi-Tether. My phone was plugged in to my work desktop and charging at the time, which usually heats up my battery as well. My phone didn't feel that warm after the ordeal.

In all of these instances, I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm curious as to what the difference might be. We have the same phone. We appear to use them relatively the same way. Interesting...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] icornwal:
Here's a link to 2.08.1.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
Indeed that is interesting, especially with GV. Cuz I too am a big fan, and I was (said probably too histrionically) heartbroken when I had to regress to 0.2. I suppose I'll try installing again.

But I often think the same thing reading the forums, wondering how people can have these crazy problems with the same phone and ROM. I've come to think of our phones as I do our significant others ... they're all crazy in their own different way, but we love em the same. ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chugger93:
Ok well I have issues now. Did the ban and then enabled JIT. Now my desktop doesnt load and keep getting force closes with the HTC launcher
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chugger93:
crap... I did an android + ext backup before I jacked this up. No when I do a restore it says Error: run 'nandroid-mobile.sh restore' via adb!

Someone help!? Crap

UPDATE: Sorry, my battery was too low. Restore is running.

Thank god for the search function
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
Haha nothing like panic to get the juices flowing.

Sorry to hear. There is something else to consider; I realize its a huge change, but I figured I'd throw it out there to consider (cuz I was a devoted Sensy, but because of JIT's ridiculous performance I switched).

I installed a new launcher (specifically ADW Launcher) that lets you have up to 7 screens and runs quite a bit like Sense. It even has a couple extra benefits compared to Sense (dock for 2 apps next to launcher, and pull-up dock for favorite apps). Unfortunately you cannot use Sense widgets with other launchers, however I found several very good alternatives for free in the market that were very Sense-like. You can still use the HTC People, Dialer, and other applications too.

Like I said, quite a few alterations, but this is why Nandroid exists ;). Best of luck.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] lilbanchero:
I also get some random reboots in 2.08, looking forward to a 'fixed' 2.09 as well.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] notasimpleway:
I only get the random reboots with an OC'ed kernel. Are you OC'ed?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] icornwal:
I got random reboots when I was OC'ed at 768. I dropped to 730 and they stopped.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] notasimpleway:
Same here. But I was asking him if he OC'ed and was going to get him to drop his CPU down. :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Benduchi:
I am using the rom that is being fixed and I loaded the damage 768Oc kernal someone posted if I find the thread ill post it any way my question is how do i lower it to 730 ?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] icornwal:
I use the OverClock Widget from the market.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dhero1:
or if you have trouble booting at 768, reflash the 710kernel over the top and use OverClock or SetCPU to crank it up if you want to go over 710
[Hero CDMA Android Development] lilbanchero:
I'm not OC'd at all, was going to go to the 730 or 710 but haven't gotten around to it yet? is 710 the best route for 2.08?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dalvarez7:
I did both the 710 and 768 OC kernel with the 2.08 ROM and found I liked the 710 one better. When I OC'd to 768 things seems to get unstable, but that just my experience. I like the 710 one.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TrevE:
here we gooo. I labeled this build 2.09.01 to avoid confusion. Uploading now. First will be deodexed, then odexed experimental (only tested for a few minutes but things seemed sane) I am about to ship my phone out while this uploads so if theres any problems let me know and we can throw it up in an emu or something.

Deodexed apks are "portable" so you can apply skins. First boot an odex file is created and moved to dalvik.

odexed apks have a sperate odex file that gets moved to dalvik cache. DO NOT WIPE DALVIK or youll be bootloopin. Skins will also not work.

Here are some of my notes on upgrading. 2.08 -> 2.09 is a big upgrade because signatures changed which has potential to cause all sorts of problems. Packagemanger comes through and says hey thats a different cert, lets ignore it and then the loopin begins. Youll know right away if you need to run these steps if your bootloopin after upgrade. If you wipe everything you wont have to worry about this. Some testers needed to do this, some didnt. nandroid...

hopefully this makes sense, alot of this is my own notes.

First try to

adb shell rm /data/app-private/

next if you still have problems:

1) before flashing either clear data on dconfig in settings or run the following commands:

adb shell remount

adb shell rm /data/data/com.damaged.DConfig/*.conf

2) Flash new DC from DCUpdater. When it is complete wipe dalvik for good measure.

3) Type these commands:

adb shell rm /data/firstboot.sh

adb shell mv /data/upgradefirstboot.sh /data/firstboot.sh

4) Let it go through one boot. As soon as rosie comes up shut down (ignore any FCs).

5) boot to recovery & Fix UIDs. reboot

6) sign back into gmail & enjoy:)

What happens behind scenes:

I found breaking the packages.xml file by blanking out keys causes packagemanager to regenerate certs but seems to get

around some bugs i ran into just deleting the file. It also clears out old data that couldndt be reused only downside to this is UIDs are regenerated too, hence needing to fix them after.

Also google market/gtalk broke after upgrade because of signature change, so i found out to break gsync without wiping phone you can:

(sqlite3 /data/system/accounts.db "delete from accounts where type = 'com.google';")
[Hero CDMA Android Development] seyer0686:
Looks like I got home just in time. Can't wait to try this out!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] crxmax:
wow alot of that is in chinese to me. just goes to show how much of a noob i am. im hoping that if i wipe i wont have any problems =/
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bdavis:
TrevE

Where are the download links?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] animal7296:
Patience young one (Meaning post count not necessarily age) It will show when it is uploaded.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Maikock:
so the market isnt broken if you flash from a clean wipe of everything? does this include all stock apps?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TrevE:
its still uploading, im on a dsl connection so have a beer or four first.

Didnt mean to scare aynoen with the last post, its just my notes _incase_ anything happens. Like i said some testers needed to do it some didnt, no clue why it only needed to be done by some users, someone else can dig into that one :)

If you dont care about upgrading wipe will always be cleanest and should work without issue.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dalvarez7:
What stock apps were left/removed? Will the deodex ROM allow us to install the stock apk's (ie Sprint Navigation and Stock.apk)?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bdavis:
TrevE

Sounds good. Just donated - Thanks for all of your great work. I will be donating to Damage in a few.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] SammyM00782:
I'm gonna wipe just because I'm coming from Fresh2.1. Having said that, should I just wipe everything including DALVIK as well?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] goldaar:
Pfft, aren't you supposed to be uploading using your 4G?!?!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] seyer0686:
HAHAHA, oh man, that had me in tears!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Maikock:
also interested in an answer, i want to put foorprints back if possible. but footprints is hard to find cuz its removed from every rom lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] animal7296:
If you want Footprints you can DL from http://www.4shared.com/file/hqYoPUGM/HtcFootprintsWidget.html and push it to /system/app. Or download an app installer and move the apk to your card and install it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dalvarez7:
Pardon my ignorance, but doesn't it make a difference which ROM (odex or deodex) you download? Some apk's won't install if they have a odex file with them. This always confused me. Coming from Fresh 2.1.2 deodex I couldn't push stock.apk and stock.odex to my phone.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TrevE:
****. I just typed a longassed post and lost it when i got a call. Heres the 10,000ft overview hastily typed cuz im pissed now. Thanks for the beer money guys :) already cracking one open to calm me down from this ;P

new dconfig also in this version - most of the stuff i tried to document in the app. Heres some screenshots of what im talking about;

My settings i used were: A2sd on, apps on, dalvik moved, zipalign, swapping to swappart (disabled latere on caused a few issues even with my c6 card), dalvik at 32m, lowmem relaxed, sampling at 2000000, dirty bg @ 10, dirty ratio @ 15, writeback & expire at 1500. This should give ya better battery & performance (dalvik heap especially made nice differnece for me) without much of a slowdown because kernel is checking dirty stuff less often. Some users perfer the 200k sampling rate with the same rest of the settings. checks a bit more often for load and doesnt make much of a noticeable difference in battery

Most everything in dconfig now takes effect without reboot. The toast message will tell you if you need to reboot or not. You can check running values in the debug menu.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] animal7296:
That is a question for TrevE or one of the devs. This is just the .apk from the stock rom that I pulled and uploaded. It has been used several times before. Not sure of the rom it was used on but do not see why it wouldnt work. However I am not even close to a dev so I cant say for sure.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sisco_lopez:
Quick question

Does this ROM have WiFI teher?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] swapped:
link doesn't seem to be working. Aslo DCUpdater at 2.08 is not seeing an update. What is up with this?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smw6180:
Read back a couple of pages.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] swapped:
from the notes this looks like a hell of an experimental update....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TrevE:
its been atleast 6 people i know abouts daily driver for ahwile now. Its not experimental, just switching signatures from a pre leak build to a final is not usually possible. I put the process out there a few posts back _incase_ anything happened. We had testers that were able to just flash and go with no issues, the rest ran the process i posted and were up and running.

or you can wipe if your concerned and be sure theres no issues. This is the recommended method as with any other flash. if you did ruu you would have had to wipe anyway, not really much you can do about signatures changing.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cjrdriven:
By chance would the signatures be the same as the (non tweaked) ROM Damage posted based off the final Sprint RUU? Sorry, noob question. :o :p

[Hero CDMA Android Development] chfields:
So is 3g!!..........:D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TrevE:
if i had 4g here it would be ;P im uploading to this freekin server at 20kb/s. sharing the internet with my landlords while there around this week, maybe shes wanking it to some pr0n, maybe this server is just balls slow. 68% done....

and to the other question signatures prolly should be the same, i dont think deodexing would have touched it..

girls look at pr0n on the internets???
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TrevE:
my landlords gotta be atleast 150 years old so i hope shes not clickin it down there. *shivers*

we might need mirrors once this comes up, depends on if the problem is on my side or not i guess. trying to get damages attention now..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cjrdriven:
Thanks Trev. I might just try to flash without a wipe and cross my fingers.

After I do another Nandroid of course. :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] startak11:
ya you'll need some mirrors with like a million people about to blow up whatever server ur uploading to since this is so anticipated.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] riggsandroid:
Will mirror on my site
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kingdazy:
yea, seeing as this is the most popular ROM/thread/etc, here and on the tubes (everyone that recommends ROMs, mentions this first), it might need a bit of backup. ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] krymzon40:
Mirrors

When it's done, you should give the link to someone who is gonna mirror it, so there will be at least one mirror before the masses get to it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fog918:
hello i never use this rom

and i thinking about using it :)

whats soo good about it

and im using ZenEXP-0.9.6.2
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dalvarez7:
Are you at 69% yet lol ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dhero1:
I like Zen's MT3G Slider port too for the nice Sense Apps, speed, and overall smoothness, but that ROM as do all others I've tried with Sense have several issues. IMO, 2.08.1 has the fewest number of issues for a Sense ROM.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fog918:
ZenEXP-0.9.6.2

is pretty fast .... i like

and would this rom be better .....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] deeonoextrea:
It's made Damage & TrevE.......nuff said. Seriously you have to try it to see. All the devs put out good work, but none as stable as Damage in my book.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] subliminalurge:
Partition your SD card.

It can be done through the recovery console. The default values it suggests are perfectly fine.

Back up the data on your card first, because the process will erase it all.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tkirton:
The ext2 was a little tricky to program...not sure how well that works. Try upgrading the partition to ext3.

Also, if you send me the first few pages of your logcat, I may be able to track the problem down.

EDIT: Looks like someone got it working with ext2. See if you can see the /system/sd/app directory once you reboot. Also, in adb shell, type ls -l /data and tell me if you see "-> /system/sd/app" next to the app entry.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] subliminalurge:
Hmm... That kinda knocks my theory a bit.

I still think it's worth having one or two people test.

So you're saying to pull the apk off of the phone, and then push the same apk back onto it? In theory, that should accomplish exactly nothing. If it is, in fact, working, then there's something really, really wonky going on.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] doojer:
Weird. Mine had that option....

But glad you got it all fixed!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wctom:
Yelp?

Does the Yelp app work on this build ? Thanks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] R2D2-AKU2:
I had a sort of similar problem this morning after I flashed dc2.05. In my case the problem was I no longer needed google voice for voice mail and I could not turn off unanswered/busy call forwarding. I ended up just calling sprint, got transferred to tech support and they fixed it in a couple of minutes. They set it back to whatever the default settings are.

Or, you may simply need to call your voicemail and set it up.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chfields:
I tried that and get the same issue......
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thajacka:
thats what i did, how can i ensure its working?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] subliminalurge:
Support can do that for you, but there's also a simple code you can dial. Unfortunately I don't remember what it is off the top of my head, but perhaps somebody will chime in with it. I want to say "#38" for some reason, but that could be completely wrong....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] noonanjs:
Is there any way to disable the option to send messages to land lines in the contact pages? It wasn't this way in 1.5 and it is starting to piss me off
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bballa4sho12111:
No one answered my last question..i was wondering if someone could test out picture mail and email on this rom...i wasnt able to send either on v1.0..is anyone else able to send picture mail or email on this rom?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whiteonline:
Install Quick System Info.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] revlayle:
can memkill have a blacklist... or a list of apps to not memkill on perhaps?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tkirton:
That should work. However, the problem may stem from ext2. The original a2sd had issues with the 2.1 roms. In 1.5, you can specify an auto partition and mount would figure it out. With these newer builds (at least Fresh 2.0b where I was testing this from), you had to specify the partition type. So, I have it to mount ext3 first (since the majority of a2sd users have an ext3 partition), then mount ext2. Apparently, the code isn't going to mount the ext2 partition.

The workaround would be to upgrade the ext2 partition to ext3.

In the meantime, I'lll do some testing with ext2 partitions to see if I can get it working.

EDIT: From a previous post, ext2 appears to be working. Maybe the symbolic links weren't created...?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] R2D2-AKU2:
I asked while I was on the phone and they told me *720 which I did find through google before I called. When I dialed *720 (before I called tech support) I got the beeps and it appeared to work but unanswered calls were still being forwarded to google voicemail.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] CodeMonk:
Wow. This is the first Rom i've ever installed. I was kind of worried to do it since I'm such a noob, but WOW!

So far no issues, but I've only been using it for 10 minutes. lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sdrewh:
Does anyone know if deleting the lockscreen give the standard lockscreen or the version of? I know the last one did not work.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tkirton:
What did it say when you tried ext2? I'm trying to track down the problem right now. I think I have an idea what's wrong, but any logs would definitely help.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chfields:
Tried that and same prob.....:(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] noonanjs:
Anyone have nay clue on this ? Any help would be great
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fog918:
sorry for all the question guys

and what can it do ...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dhero1:
2.08.1 with the Toast OC kernel is as fast and smooth as Zen's, but with fewer issues, ie, is more stable - IMO. You'll give up the cool landscape Sense and other Sense adds that Zen has - but everything in 2.08.1 works ...

It does make me wonder why T-Mobile has more Sense apps, and more features supported in the "same" Sense apps that everyone else has ...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fog918:
ok guys what shoud i do ?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] startak11:
please everyone donate to damage and treve for this...srsly they both deserve it especially since the focus has moved to the evo and even tho it's taken time this will be a major upgrade for most and likely the last rom that most will ever flash to the hero.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] icornwal:
Whatever you want. I've used most of the other roms but I always ended up back here. Like was said before, everything works in it and it's extremely stable.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dhero1:
If you don't want to wait for 2.09/2.09.1 to get here some time tonight, load up 2.08.1 and go! :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] puppetmstr:
Im staying with ZenEXP until I find out everything that works with 2.09. So even when its released, im gonna wait approx. a week then read up on the thread to see if anyone has been having issues.

I know 2.09 uses the official base, but does 2.08? or is that the leaked version? I wanna make sure i read that right lol.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fog918:
ok guys

thank and could some one explain some things about it
[Hero CDMA Android Development] icornwal:
Like what? You gotta be more specific.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chfields:
2.08. is based on the leak.....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fog918:
well that important things really
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jonesdana:
Well to me what is important, is the good stuff, which it has... and not a little, it has a lot of the good stuff. More over; the way it runs is nice. Not nice like pretty good, but awesome. It's got some of the stuff the others have, but better in a way that is cooler than not like the others, if you know what I mean. For the other stuff not as important like things not as critical... they are pretty sweet too. I like it best because of some of the features it has that are really nice and useful. I could go on for hours about all the specifics and granular details... but I think I have already said it all!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jjprophet:
Well said! lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fog918:
what about the themes ?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] icornwal:
What about them? It has some that you can flash from the DCUpdater.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] startak11:
damn if i've ever needed a reminder to stay away from dsl this confirms it...i cannot wait for this release!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dhero1:
No Themes - that's one of those T-Mobile only Sense things ... but there are similar customizations done by several others that would apply.

Note that the MT3G Slide has "Themes" built in - that are a little (ok, a lot) beyond the "Scenes" that are in the Sprint builds ... not to be confused with "custom themes" like those by Darch and others ...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fog918:
well is there a tread to them
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jjday7:
Does anyone know how to release some internal memory on these roms? I notice this rom is usually around 88.00mb available. I am curious to why these roms are so low in memory but the sprint roms with bloat have around 134mb. Always wanted to know but figured I would ask now while we wait.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fog918:
DCUpdater?

and sorry for all the questions....:(
