To clear up the confusion.

I posted that I am leaving, then posted something later that people mistook as me saying I was not leaving. I was actually using it in context to the original post, because the original post said that I conspired to do it because I am getting married soon so I planned the leak blah blah blah...

Anyways, I am mulling everything over. I have been very disappointed in the community today. I always believed in this being a community, and released everything I could ASAP, but some people believed I held the RUU I had for personal gain/so that others couldn't develop when in reality I was slowly giving it to devs to work with, were trusted, and that I thought wouldn't leak it in full because I was afraid of the person who gave it to me getting fired. I promised to do everything I could to keep it from getting leaked. Since day 1 I have always been up front and honest, but I am also here to tell you that I'm not going to take crap. I will not put up with this kind of abuse at all.

To whomever leaked it; I hope you are happy. That was not the final test release. You will find that it is nearly the same as my build, except my build includes some extra stuff such as busybox and the standard stuff as well as memkill stuff. It's not like I hacked it all up. I said from the beginning that I wanted mine to be used as a base from 2.0 upwards, because I was just working on getting everything to work and making a nice base to build off of. I realize that not every dev wants to do that, so for those who don't, either you got RUU from me and were able to build from it (flipz), or you get to wait.

It is unfortunate that you lose devs this way. It really is. From the beginning I was all about reuniting a broken community. That's why I called it DamageControl. I guess it didn't work. This was never about me. Some of you fail to see that. You fail to see how I was trying to protect others by not releasing it to everyone out in the open. You put others jobs and lives at stake because you couldn't wait for a few weeks rather than leak what I had. Shame on you. I hope the community can see you for what you really are.

I had my reasons for not releasing. I thought the community realized that. I never did this for personal gain; I did this for the community. I said that from day 1.

I have yet to decide whether I will leave or not, but I will say that we will not be getting the final RUU with signed release-keys, anytime soon, due to what has happened here today.

I don't know why some people have a personal vendetta against me; I didn't think I did anything wrong. I tried to protect people, provide updates, give credit where credit was due, providing good updates and helping the community the best I could...

But you know what? It's out now. Go use it. I hope it was worth it.

Cool. So your script is now part of 2.06?

com.android.settings FC

I have been running DC roms for awhile then i tried Fresh's 2.0d. 2.0d for some reason was buggy for me(yes i wiped)so i came back to DC 2.05 with a full wipe, but when i did i had the notorious widgets missing. I tried the fix but when i clicked on manage applications i got a "com.android.settings has stopped unexpectedly". I checked the forum today at work and see he has an update. I flashed 2.06 without wiping and did not have a prob except for the missing widgets again. Again when i clicked on manage programs com.android.settings FC'ed again. So went back to recovery (RA 1.6.2) and performed all 4 wipe options and loaded 2.06 again and the same thing is happening, missing widgets and com.android.settings FC. Anybody else have this prob or know of the fix.

Wiping and flashing again from another DL to see if i got a bad DL the first time. Will update when done.

EDIT: I did perform the PRL fix when i came back from fresh to DC. And BTW Damage your are the sh!t, please don't let anybody discourage you or what you are doing thank you for everything. Thanks to all of the DEVS

Exchange sync issues

I have my hero syncing with an exchange server and it is set to sync mail, contacts and calender but I am having 2 issues. The first is that the htc mail app force closes constantly and will not auto update no matter what cycle i select. I have tried removing and re-adding the account already. The other issue is that my calendar will not update, when i check everything from the accounts screen it tells me 'system out of memory".
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cirehawk:
Wow, seems like I missed a lot today. Whatever went down today is very unfortunate, especially since it was bad enough to make you consider leaving. Whatever your decision is, I can understand and respect it. Personally, I appreciate your efforts and have benefitted greatly from them. I hope you continue to provide updates, but if you decide against it, I wish you all the best.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rulyskull:
agreed

i totally feel you dude that's what i was worried about (losing the best dev out to) but this makes sense and thank you for your work and im sorry this has come to this i have recently came here and see all that you mean and i hope this person(s) keep there job, oh and by the way can you tell this person thank you for risking his job to make every else s life's better with there phone and again i thank you(also for telling it strait up like you HAVE (till an ass came alone anyway to ruin a lot)been and are) and i agree if you couldn't that tell that this community is broken maybe a little to broken....:(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dfbonney:
This was pure BS what happened today... I dont understand why this has to keep happening to our community. By releasing this information to the public, this person has made the entire CDMA (and possibly GSM) Hero XDA early development come to a complete stop. The "leak" is no longer going to want to risk getting in trouble and Dev's are going to stop helping because one person decided to screw them over... I get it Damage and at least a thousand of us do... some people are just idiots. I'm sorry it had to be like this.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cj1171:
dude your roms are always the fastest and this is a great piece of work!

[Hero CDMA Android Development] modchipper:
Damageless,

Don't let the drama get to you. There are tons of people who love what you do around here. You know there are many noobs that come here and talk trash. This is a very popular forum so you will get people in here that will annoy you everyday, don't let that get to you. Stick to your guns and do what's right for the community. Getting ready to flash the latest rom now. Thanks again and hope you stick around. Think about the donations you will continue to receive if you stay a while. :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] officer629:
Damageless,

You are an Amazing Dev and person and there is no reason to take any abuse, but do the majority of this community (It is a community because of people like you) a favor and stick around and keep doing what you do, because it's where your heart is. You shouldn't let immature people ruin that for you.

Moderators,

Please get rid of the people who are here ruining it for everyone else. I'm on XDA every chance I get, but if it weren't for people like Damageless I wouldn't be.

I'm a strong believer in NO TOLERANCE Policies and feel that should be a Policy XDA sets forth. There is no reason people should make the comments they make.... It's not blurted out, it's typed..... It isn't a mistake, they know what they are doing and we don't need people like that.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MRagu:
+ 1000 .... Well said and I hope the moderators do something about what has happened today ... if not the problems will continue to surface.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cirehawk:
I've been catching up in the forum and the mods have removed a lot of messages it seems, but from what I can gather I don't think it's about a few people giving him grief. I'm pretty sure he can handle that. It seems that someone maliciously decided to leak the "leaked" Sprint ROM to the public, which more than likely placed damages "source" at risk. We will probably never know all the details, but in my book that's bad business.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] etbrandt2:
Just drop the ban hammer on these fools...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Papa Smurf151:
damage u were done dirty. Your rom's r the best out there and if it wasnt for you we would still be stuck with the crappy eris leak. You had your reasons and that good enough for most. The ones sturing up problems and releasing privileged info r the same that contribute nothing to this community and sit back and complain and ask for the experts to please change this or port this or put this in blah blah blah. It would be a shame if u left but if u did it wouldn't surprise most of us.

To the person who leaked the RUU i hope u brick ur phone and have no insurance to replace it. U'll get what u deserve in the long run. U can run but u cant hide.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] realmrealm:
Damage Don't Go

Damage,

I have followed your threads and ROM's from the first day you posted one. I have also used your ROM's for the last month or so, and I have been extremely pleased.

I wish I could make all the people that insult and bash and cause trouble on this forum go away, but I can't.

People have forgotten about good manners(shame on you guys), and about respect(which you deserve), and about community(which you tried to unite). It's very unfortunate.

For what it's worth I don't want you to go, and I will continue to support you and help whenever I can. But I can definitely understand that you need to make the best decision for you.

Thanks for all that you have allowed me to do with my Hero.

I like how this guy stepped in and was like "nope sorry were troubleshooting here"...lol

but really its a damn shame this was leaked, cause ultimately this burns bridges down the road. We all know everyone is so focused in getting what they want they cause collateral damage (new ROM name ftw).

Titanium Backup keeps failing to update to the latest busybox and it won't restore my backup. Anyone else having this problem?

Never mind, I uninstalled it and reinstalled and it works now Doh!!!!

Great work Damage Plleeeeeaaaassssseeee stay with us.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ukcatsfan:
Can anyone tell a newb how to use the adb remount codes on page 1 to remove apps already loaded on this rom? i am not too computer inclined, but trying to learn all that i can. thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thatguythatdid:
Okay here is step by step how i wish someone would have broken it down for me.

download android sdk unzip it at the very beginning of your C drive (where program files, program data etc are). So right now it should be called something like android-sdk-86 or whatever. Rename it, "androidsdk". on your phone go to settings/applications/development and check off usb debugging. Now plug your phone in. Your drivers should already be installed if your rooted. If not go here. now push the windows key on your keyboard plus r (or click start all progams and find run) in the run window type, 'cmd'. Now command prompt should be open. type each of the following lines and press enter after each one except the parenthethis:

cd\

cd androidsdk/tools

adb remount

adb shell

su (this will make sure you have superuser permissions)

cd /system/app

ls -a (this will show you all the programs in your system app folder. If you switch app with framework it will show you whats in your system framework folder)

rm HtcTwitter.* (Or replace htctwitter with whatever you want to remove in your system app folder)

now your done make sure you type the apk exactly as it is written
[Hero CDMA Android Development] redram38:
Does this have the audio problem. I could hear nothing in music, dialing, and nothing from speaker in voice mail.

After re-checking I cannot hear anything from the speaker at all. I can hear the caller and voicemail just not using the speaker. I took my phone in tonight to get dust removed so maybe the tech messed up the speaker. CRAP this sucks. Guess I will be going back tomorrow to see if he can fix the freaking speaker.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] regaw_leinad:
Glad to see you guys back on topic again. :)

Keep it up.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jedikcc:
Yes, it does still have the audio problem. I wiped, flashed (from Fresh 2.0d), restored apps from titanium backup, & lost all audio on first incoming call. Damage mentioned that he didn't include the audio fix because it turned the trackball light off. IMHO, I'd rather have the audio fixed. Either way, said he'd get it fixed & publish as an update.

Of course, that was before it all hit the fan tonight with the leak & all....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ukcatsfan:
how do i open the adb mount? i have no idea how to do it. is there instructions anywhere online?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nicksavop:
quick question is there any difference removing apps with adb compared to just using root explorer, been using root explorer and want to make sure i'm not missing something.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jeb0921:
Here is the howto wiki that will show you how to do almost everything

[Hero CDMA Android Development] redram38:
Looks like my problem is something with the speaker. I cannot hear music through it, nor can I hear anything using bluetooth. I nandroided back to my previous setup and the same problem. I am right now flashing the 1.56 RUU to unroot so I can take it back in tomorrow so he can hopefully fix it without sending it in. Man that stinks. When he was putting the back cover back on it would not fit right because he did not screw the backing back on right, so instead of unscrewing it and fixing it he just pushed it back in with his fingers so I am sure he F'ed up my phone when he did that. Oh well guess they either fix it or give me a new phone. MAN THIS SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Back un-rooted and still no sound :-(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] danaff37:
root explorer works fine. i used it to change my bootscreen to an animation of android peeing on an apple symbol by just copying it into the right folder... lol works great. I copy to sdcard so I can replace if necessary when removing files.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] skivinator:
Damage

Agreed. I run DC Roms. I have really enjoyed learning about my phone. DC's Roms have been a part of that.

Thanks Damage.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] mjodotcom:
Can anyone confirm if this does or does not use the latest radio from Flipz?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jeb0921:
It works just fine with flipz radio.;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mjodotcom:
Im just wondering if it already has flipz updated radio on it or if it needs to be flashed. So what is the deal with this "audio" problem, do only some people have it?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jeb0921:
If you want the radio, you will have to flash it yourself. They are never in the roms.

The audio problem is only on some systems, not all. The only way to tell is to try it. Fixes are on the way.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mjodotcom:
Cool, thanks for the help!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ghuqu:
Sweet! I have that same pic of the Android peeing on Apple as my lockscreen.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] danaff37:
I found the animated gif for a boot screen. hilarious! It was on xda somewhere... the poster had a file for using metamorph, but I was browsing on my phone so just saved the GIF example in post and moved to the bootscreen folder and renamed.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Ceger:
There are way too many people here on this forum who think they are entitled to something. Guess what, you are entitled to nothing more than what you bought with your phone and the market unless you develop for yourself.

That said, people need to be supportive and patient with the developers on this site. They are doing what they do out of love for it all, yet too many try to threaten, tease or complain and create dissatisfaction for all trying to partake of a positive thing.

Here is some advice... when a ROM gets released, try it if you want while understanding that it is a work in progress that always needs hundreds of hours of testing. Not even official releases by companies work 100%. These developers fix those broken official releases. They fix their own custom releases. No body is forcing you to do anything, nor owes you anything. Donating to someone is appreciation, NOT a license to demand and complain. If you want to wait for a better ROM release, then wait and read the thread as it grows with feedback.

Above all else, be thankful, patient and participate or go elsewhere.

Damage, you have my respect and support.

Ceger
[Hero CDMA Android Development] michd43:
You couldn't have said it any better. These are reasons why so many great winmo contributors in the past left. (yes, there was a time in the past when this site was winmo only.) I'm just amazed and dumbfounded that this crap still happens.

Anybody got any theme recommendations for me that will work with this ROM i have tried two diffrent ones and it just caused a boot loop. Anything but espresso. Thanks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] troyboytn:
I would also like to throw my support to you Damage. I have run your roms and you are a very talented developer, for which the CDMA Hero community is privileged to have you. Keep in mind, we need and want your talent here and also keep in mind that you "owe" no one here anything but we (99% of us) do appreciate everything you do. So stick around man.....we need you here.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] SelfWill:
Can't wait to give this a go!

I wann'a flash....I wanna flash! Just now got back to the station, had thought I'd be off earlier to be home for the release but was asked to holdover til morning. One of the dispatchers (who has an Android) said she'll sneak me into the office later to download/flash. She's amazed at how well my phone runs on your ROM. I feel like a little kid waiting for Christmas while waiting to try this out. There's the tones....gotta run!!!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cirehawk:
Damages, I flashed 2.06 without a wipe and everything seems to be working fine. However, it seems a tad choppier on occasion. Did you relax the memkill settings, or is it more likely due to not wiping?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wtphoto:
I have a half of a black theme with changed font and clear lockscreen right now but it is expresso

quick question i want to flash from 2.05 to 2.06 but i also want to update radio, in what sequence should i flash these zips
[Hero CDMA Android Development] okcppcnut:
Does 2.06 have the market issues still? I was using 2.05 but most of the apps I have purchased weren't there, so I had to switch to the Fresh ROM. I prefer this one if the market was fixed.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thatguythatdid:
wait like maybe an hour and you'll get my first theme which is done just waiting to learn or have the someone make an update zip:D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wtphoto:
get me the files and ill sign them for ya
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jeb0921:
Doesn't matter. They are two separate entities. Radio is firmware and the rom is more software. Neither is dependent on the other.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] venumx:
did you read the changelog on the first post? lol. yes it was fixed.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] okcppcnut:
Guess I missed it. Thanks for answering.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cirehawk:
Is there a clear lockscreen available that doesn't change the launcher? I flashed one on the 2.05 ROM, but it changed my launcher to the Droid launcher. I'd like to keep the rosie launcher, or even try the espresso one.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] diordnahero:
I had a problem flashing 2.06 over 2.05 the first time.

Flashed and booted ok, but when I rebooted I had the lost htc wigets issue. I tried clearing the data fix but still no joy. I remembered damageless posting on an earlier thread to try redownloading and flash again. I wiped and restored my nandroid 2.05 and reflashed the newly downloaded 2.06 flash and all is good.

Thanks damageless
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jumpin69:
I to hope that you stay. I have really enjoyed this latest rom and looked forward to the upcoming changes. Understand if you don't but hope you stay
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wtphoto:
here is a flashible zip just for you it will add expresso and make the lockscreen clear. you may have to clear your cached lockscreen though doing this

adb remount
adb shell
cd /data/misc/lockscreen
rm *

cd /system/customize/resource
rm htc_wallpaper*

exit

do this before flashing the zip.

download HERE
[Hero CDMA Android Development] okcppcnut:
Have a noob question for you all. I forgot to wipe before I flashed this ROM. I was running Fresh 2.0d. All went well. Seems to running fine and build is showing to be DC 2.06. Should I reboot and wipe or just go as is since all seems good?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sirithe:
Thanks Damage, hope you stick around man. I love your roms.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dirkyd3rk:

yeah i was having the same prob, my paid apps werent showing, but its all good, some of them were, but other than that this rom is sick

If it's working, leave it be..................if you have problems you can always wipe and reflash......

very well said dude lol

If its running fine thats great man dont worry about loseing your apps over it :P
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Svengali522:
Damageless,

It seems we are constantly bombarded with those that believe if they don't have something, they deserve it. The fact is that those with access and those with intelligence tend to find themselves in position to further causes and push innovation forward.

My hope is that you, and all the developers (who so graciously provide their personal time towards making these devices the best they can be), will continue to help those of us without that ability.

If you choose not to continue, thanks for everything!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cirehawk:
I followed your steps, but your zip file fails to flash. It says there is no signature file and the verification failed.
