which version of a2sd ru using or are you using it at all i cant seem to get it enabled on this thing
[Hero CDMA Android Development] raiderep:
Man this is very nice indeed. Been using it all day and my only complaint is the 9016 texts when I get a voicemail. I came from a moment and I'm not used to theming being so easy but I got it figured out. Not sure how you can improve it but I'll be standing by to see for sure!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tempusfugit3737:
Man, I feel like an idiot...from searching this thread apparently it should be easy for me to find the fix for removing the bubbles from around the icons, but I can't find a link anywhere!

Also, I see that the "mobile networks" bug is acknowledged in the old 0.9.5 bugs list, but I'm still having the issue in 0.9.6. Is this the case for everyone else as well? Is there another way to disable data roaming to avoid charges from Sprint?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] danaff37:
You get charged for data roaming?

[Hero CDMA Android Development] tempusfugit3737:
Is this not the case with Sprint? I'm pretty sure that it is: unlimited Sprint data and that they charge you at some rate for data used over roaming.

Ah! Thanks! Didn't know they were also called iPhone-ish :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zippy-man:
Most data plans on sprint do not have charges for roaming data.

The only thing they may do is contact you if you are using it too much. Just try not to make the usage excessive.

I am working on making an application that can change these settings you may see it in a later release.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] ThatGuyFromSprint:
On Sprint's plans you do not get charged for data roaming

This is the most correct answer... We don't charge extra, but when we see excessive use while roaming (an extremely excessive use) we will contact you as a precautionary step... this is mainly due to to issues such as phone cloning, and it's to ensure that your service isn't being used fraudulently.

Hope this helps to clear that up... So long as you're on a plan that includes unlimited data and roaming is included as well, then you aren't charged extra... however, if you have a grandfathered plan, then there's the possibility, but all current plans we offer include unlimited roaming in the price point.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tempusfugit3737:
That's brilliant! I can't believe I was unaware of that, seems like it should be quite the selling point for Sprint. Thanks for the info.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Bowlsnapper:
Wait, i work for sprint. And im pretty sure the the limit on roaming is 300mb before being charged $.25 cents per MB.

Soooo anxious to come back to this rom. Probably the most stable for me so far. Currently running cm6 froyo and this one was smoother for me personally

Come on back....nobody's stopping you! ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tempusfugit3737:
Loving this ROM! But, I gave the separate ZenKernel a shot with this ROM and had pretty laggy results...never have used setcpu and maybe that would have made a difference, but I went back to the kernel packaged with this ROM and have been relatively happy.

Just as a point of clarification: is the set of bugs that is listed under 0.9.5 still relevant to 0.9.6? It seems that gmail hasn't been syncing correctly, but the way the bugs are listed makes it seem like they shouldn't be relevant anymore.

So very much looking forward to the new update! It is almost the end of "next week," right? :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zippy-man:
Ya the final version is finished we need to package it up and get it out.

I had a weird issue on both .9.6.2/3 and the beta where my cpu clock speed would always be stuck at 672, is this new release gonna have a different kernel that scales or will it do this also?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zippy-man:
Well it should have never done that before.

The new version is using a custom kernel so it should not have that issue. Also we set the governor on startup so it should auto set to ondemand and not stay at the high frequency

That's the limit for a Connection Card, but not for phones... phones don't have limits (unless you use phone as modem (decommisioned) or the EVO/Epic's Hotspot)... I break 300mb roaming, and hit near 10GB non-roaming, and so does the girlfriend's phone (thanks pandora)... and never get extra charges... but the very moment i break 5GB non-roaming, or 300mb roaming on my overdrive... extra charges!

zen updater

I am trying to update to zen updater 2.1 and update 3 for 0.9.6.2 through zen updater. When I apply the update after downloading the phone goes to a screen with the android guy and a white triangle with yellow exclamation mark inside. If I try to update through recovery then I get a signature verification failed error. I have tried re downloading updates and get the same error. I am using clockwork recovery if that makes a difference. Any help would be appreciated.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
If your using clockwork turn off signature verification.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
I think I actually get even better battery life with CM6 than I did with ZenEXP, ha.

Regardless, looking forward to trying out the new version of this. Easily the second best Hero ROM (CM6 is my number 1 now, but still), can't wait to see what improvements have been made.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] crxmax:
Cm6 isn't all there for me for me it lags after so many hours awake time and I feel like my phone is seriously lacking without sense just my two cents

Plus, the main reason I want to come back to Zen is the wayyyyy better browser
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
I never use the stock browser. XScope is my personal favorite of all the ones I've tried.

I just installed the current link today and I'm pretty happy with it thus far. Does anyone else have trouble with the themes? I get an error about an unsigned file when I try to flash to them.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ahager88:
I absolutely loved how this rom ran, especially the browser. Just lacks the cdma frameworks is all.

But it IS a port :D

One of the smoothest roms Ive ran though, and will probably try again when this new release drops.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] crxmax:
What do you mean by lacks the cdma. Framework is that bad??
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chromiumleaf:
It's VERY bad. It basically means that your phone could literally explode in your hands at any point. Or fry your Xbox 360.

Just kidding :D CDMA is the type of network that Sprint is on. On native CDMA ROMs, there are some tools built in for network service, like the updating PRL and Profile tools, and some diagnostic stuff accessed by the Dialer. Since this ZenEXP ROM is ported from a T-mobile MyTouch 3G, which natively runs on the GSM network, those CDMA tools aren't present in this ROM.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zippy-man:
If you are using a clockwork recovery turn off verification checks.

clockwork recovery does not play well with the updater.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zippy-man:
OK guys we will make a formal post here on XDA once we get some time where me and zen can be on XDA at the same time.

For now the needed info is on our website I just put up :)

ZenRoms Link

It is also in the Updater for Beta Testers and Current Rom Users. Just Check for Updates and it should show.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] BlaqkAudio:
Just wondering why landscape rosie was taken out: was there an issue with it? I currently use Fresh 2.3.3, I've never used ZenEXP before.

I'm waiting for SMS splitting to be fixed, then I'm going to switch over :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zippy-man:
It was taken out because for it to work the rom has to be resigned. If we resign the rom it breaks gmail push. This rom has been really hacked up to work right. This was not an easy port we had to go deep to get things working right. One thing breaks another when we do stuff so we have to keep working from different angles to get all the functions working without breaking something else and since this is all being reverse engineered it takes time and a ton of thinking. Really this rom is a pain in my ass but i guess i enjoy beating my keyboard from time to time. :)

We will be working on another way to get it back in but right now I just did not have time to get it working.

The sms spliting is my next project. I dont use a Hero anymore so some of my dev time does goto other things. I keep the hero only for Development :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] raiderep:
Downloading right now to try it out tomorrow. I have been running the previous release for about a week and really like it. I also like the website, good info on the latest release :cool:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] BlaqkAudio:
Oh, I see. Thanks for the hard work and big thanks for sticking around as a Hero dev.

Most of the other bugs don't really bother me (I plan on taking Friendstream out anyway, I don't use it). SMS splitting is semi important, as I text my friend a lot and some of our messages are 2+ texts

Sent from my HERO200
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zippy-man:
You can use handcent and use the split 160 option for now to get you by if you have to.

I hope the sms 160 cap is not a real pain in my ass. The Sprint 6 signal bars was a major ****. Tons of smali work to get that working just like a sprint rom.

We are very close to 100 percent functional now. There are just a few things here and there to squash but over all i really like this release i have been running it for the past week or so as well as my GF and it it seems fast and stable.

JIT bumps the performance up even more but it has its side effects. It can be strange at times and cause FC's but even with it running it seems to do pretty well.

Then again i dont take my hero with me everywhere just play with it at home so i will let you guys figure out what else is not working haha.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] crxmax:
THANKS FOR YOUR HARD WORK!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zippy-man:
If you use the split 160 in the handcent settings it should send messages without a problem.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zeropants:
I was really hoping installing this over the old one would keep everything...gotta set everything back up now.

The updater worked, but it wouldn't complete the SU command to restart the phone in recovery.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] BrandoKC:
I downloaded the update from the updater and it rebooted to recovery but I had bootloops until I wiped everything.

Then when I went to Flash and had to select 9.6.2 because 9.7 wasn't an option. Once I loaded up I was on 9.7.

If you use the updater and are having issues I hope this helps.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zeropants:
So far so good with the new rom, everything setup and working well...still can't use themes though, it won't flash from zip.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bneilson:

Downloaded the Odex version via the updater and applied it with no issue. Just got all of my apps reinstalled via AppBrain and so far so good.

GMail push is working great! :cool:

Does anyone have a zip or apk for VVM? I don't have Zen Updater and I'm missing Sprint VVM.

Thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zippy-man:
If you are using a2sd a lot of the themes cannot be flashed it is a limitation of a2sd right now. When data/app is symlinked you can't flash to it via recovery I am working on a workaround but have not really come up with a solid fix yet.

If you are using a2sd you can download the themes open the zips and just install the apk.

Use a file manager for that astro works well with zip files.

Do not use clockwork recovery. That is the easiest answer.

You can try turning off signature verification and see if that works.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] mcfarlan:
Zen/Zippy...congratulations. One of the smoothest roms I have used in a while. Almost makes me like Sense again :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zippy-man:
The themes in the updater or stock t-mobile themes can be used but if a user customized something odds are that you might not be able to use his mod if he did not make it for your specific version.

Most modders are going to make stuff for the deodex version as it OS much easier.

I use the odex version for speed I don't flash stuff from other people.

Both versions will be supported by us so don't worry about updates we make as both versions will get them.

zippy-man kinda broke it down but I wanted to do some more smashing of "it". The only themes you'll really miss out on is the smooth themes or fully customized themes. But you can still use the mymode themes that come with the phone. You can even customize the mymode themes by switching out the pngs in the res folder with pngs of the same scale (height and width) but make sure that you delete the meta-inf folder and resign the apk. by the way smooth theme does have a mymode theme version on here somewhere just gotta seach. There is also a full guide on how to make mymode themes

This rom is zips! It makes me feel silly for being a Fresh 2.3.3 etc. fan. Well, this is the only rom I have used besides that. So, I should feel silly.

Very, very impressed w/ the speed of this ROM. Currently using the "Performance" auto-setting, as JIT "Sense banned Perf" may have been causing numerous reboots. In any event, battery life has been decent, and have experienced minimal lag. GPS seems to lock steadily, and everything behaves nicely w/ LauncherPro and WidgetLocker. Great work guys!

[Hero CDMA Android Development] ItsDon:
What is the difference between "Performance" and just running it stock (as freshly installed)? Love JIT but NOT on Sense roms, way too many issues. I am loving this rom, very smooth. Basically I want it to be as fast as it can be with the longest battery life possible, what is the best setting to achieve this?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pwrmedia:
It seemed smooth on stock, but I can say I haven't had any lag since updating the setting to performance, nor any random reboots. Disabled JIT, though it ran fine other than the reboots.

Also, in case anyone was wondering, Decadence's Uncapped Kernel (#7 stable) and Collin's Batt Tweak appear to run real nice w/ the ROM. Been running this setup for about 6 hours today, and have had no issues or lag whatsoever. Honestly can't remember the last time a ROM has ran this fast or smooth.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ItsDon:
Thanks, I'll give 'Performance' a try when I have some time. Battery has been real good 'stock', have you noticed a change since switching to 'Performance'?

Oh, another question for everyone (anyone), can the DroidX keyboard be installed on the odex version of this rom?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pwrmedia:
Mmmm...no can't say I've noticed a change for the better or worse.

I did get greedy and flash Darch's "OC fix" kernel from a while ago....that's a no go on this ROM, as I got the bootloop of death. So I'm sticking w/ Decadence's Uncapped for now and actually I think I'm going to reflash w/ just the kernel and no Batt Tweak to see how it performs.
