I was having issues as well when I did a no-wipe update from 2.6.3 to 2.6.4. I know Darch says it's cool to do that but I had problems. I just did a fresh wipe/install of 2.6.4 and it is fast and bug free so far. Not sure what the difference is but for me, the clean wipe/install worked wonders.

With all the folks here either praising or condemning this rom I figured something was up. For me it was simply starting fresh and with my apps being auto installed upon first boot it was pretty painless.

Awesome job Darch, awesome. :D

Oh, I'm running the latest ADW Launcher with this and it is great!

Edit: In case it matters I am not running any sort of OC and my linpack is a respectable 4.9 consistently. Phone is very snappy and battery seems good so far as well.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] junkshow:
Mine won't either...I thought it was a bug in OC widget, though <shrug>.

Somewhat related...Darch, what do you think about adding a Max CPU scaling setting to Spare Parts...would it work? I really don't like the OC apps/widgets, but my phone is perfectly content at 768, so it would be cool to let it do it.

I just had a problem like this for the first time today, which (maybe) coincidentally, is the first time I used the Power Control Widget to turn on/off wifi. Related? IDK, but I see some other weirdness with Power Control, so I switched back to Wifi Manager and Dazzle for my settings widgets, and everything is back to working normally.

this is the problem I am having where the is no internet connection.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] daryelv:
The bars are inaccurate. Check your network strength in settings. A ROM does little to affect signal strength, it's mostly the radio/PRI/PRL and your physical location which determines signal strength. This is true for ANY rom (Damage, Zen, Fresh, DarchLegend, DarchDroid, etc.)

-Daryel
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mcfarlan:
Nah...I vote for 2.6.3... :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] HeroMeng:
I'm having issues with service as well...

PRL 60665

Radio 2.42.01.04.27
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dondadah88:
I suggest you try out the Verizon radio the one that ends with 09. it uses more battery but that radio you are using now is horrible.

I nandroided my fresh 1.1 and there is a difference in speed test and signal. (I hear that the signal is a bug so I'm not worried about that) but the speedtest shows that 1.1 was faster.

also disable compcache. I found under heavy multitasking I had random reboots and freezes.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nicksavop:
yeah i agree sticking with 2.6.3 also. Dont care for video, rather have working gallery and working lights.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abcdfv:
The Radios vary from place to place, so unless he lives next door to you he ought to just experiment with radios.

I've always found that 32MB in Compcache works well.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] feefeeboomboom:
You guys do realize this is AOSP and it is what u make it. The gallery 3d didn't work in 2.6.3 either. Search for the working 3d.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] lv2bll:
is it just me or is there no option to update prl and profile? I cant find it for some reason.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] shippbe:
The newest patch didn't fix GPS or OpenGL for me. :confused: Gallery still only works after a reboot, then it runs slow after awhile.

Edit: I've found after a restart that Gallery will work fine, but once the phone is locked then Gallery starts displaying improperly after that. Nexus live wallpaper is messed up on the new patched 2.6 as well, but I don't really care about live wallpapers all that much.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] HeroMeng:
Been using this all day, and suddenly Messages (com.android.messages) forcecloses. Anyone else having this problem?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kkruse:
For me the biggest thing that dont work is the GPS. It seems to work for approx 3 secs then looses its lock. I realized this after using GPS Status app from the market. Apps like Google Maps, trapster appear to only work IF you start GPS status up and switch to the other app and then looses the lock again after 3 secs...

I believe the problem lies in the cyanogen mod source. I have built cyan from source and using DS's vendor overlay before and its always same issue.

Maybe this will help, I am thinking of snagging libgps.so from another rom to test.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] phenicks:
Darch,

Does darchdroid automatically convert ext3 to ext4?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] HeroMeng:
LOL... Was looking at logcat when it booted up, it said this:

I/cm ( 97): ((_ \(/'((_( ((\( ((_)((_( (('((\( ((`1( ((_)((_(

Battery Life

I had to change rom as this one went through 85% battery in 3.5 hours. I love it so Darch, please fix.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] phenicks:
I just learned that if you want to back up an ext partition that requires the 1.7 recovery as it supports the sd-ext method used in cyanogenmod.

What I'm not clear on whether there is a 1.7 recovery working for our hero's yet.

Thanks Darch!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] coldsweat:
Same here, GPS patch didn't seem to work either.

Great work though Darch, can't wait to come back.

I have a question.

Is development on this ROM going to stop in favor of a 2.2 version once Cyanogen gets his hands on the 2.2 source?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mcfarlan:
??What am I missing?? I tried both .3 and .4 and prefer .3. Nothing to do with 2D or 3D gallery.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
I don't understand the question. with the release of Froyo source, I will start development on darchdroid v3.0 if thats what your asking.

then wuts ur problem with 2.6.4???
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dirkyd3rk:
quick question guys, i was using the latest sprint baseband from 2.1, and now i downloaded the stock sprint radio from the 1.56 base blah blah, and i used the update zip and it went through the setup process perfect formatted cache and rebooted but now im in siettings and it still shows im still on the 2.42.01.04.27, but im 100% on my sd card i have the 1.04.1 etc. is this normal, should i reflash the radio again?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] joshuaharp:
I actually have a related question (not to add to the confusion or anything) but does flashing this ROM then replace my 1.04.01.09.21 to the 2.etc one?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ItsDon:
I've only got 300 or so photos but 2.5.1.2 has been running fine since I flashed it this morning.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dirkyd3rk:
no flashing this rom will not change your baseband(radio), your baseband, prl, and pri usually stay the same unless the dev has a rom that changes them i guess, the only time ive seen those types of changes were when damagecontrol1.0 changed everybodys prl to that eris one.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abcdfv:
I'm asking, will 2.1 be abandonded for 2.2?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jus10o:
If everything becomes workable on the 2.2 like camera and all. I would rather progress be put towards 2.2 rather then 2.1. Its one step forward for putting our phones in the future.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ItsDon:
Which actually was awesome (for me). I'm still running the PRI that damages 1.0 installed (2.11) because it allows for USB tethering (not in DarchDroid of course) whereas Sprints 1.70_0003 does not (error 67).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
Yes, 2.1 will be abandoned in favor for 2.2 once sources are available. I can easily get camera and everything (perhaps even MMS) once 2.2 sources are out, so its nothing to be wary of :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DJAscendance:
that makes me flippin stoked!

Darch, 2.6.4 is great. Great battery, great rom. Super fast and everything works.

Thanks for all your dedication.

Can I ask for one thing though?

I have yet to see my signal go full, and I know its full in my area with roms that have 6 bar signals..

Thanks man
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrinehart93:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] ethandissi:
well since we are on this topic... what is the difference between keeping the launcher in the memory and not in the memory.... any advantages to either choice?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dondadah88:
I also wondered so this if I choose to keep UT in memory then does adequate stay in tgw memory or the old lanucher stays in there.

After doing a bunch of test between fresh 1.1 and this Tom I have found that the signal is not this Tom but sprint just plain sucks in my area. But the lost in 3g and 2g to nothing only happens in this Tom. I will buy a new battery this week since everyone else is having great results with there's.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DevinXtreme:
Darch, what can I do to bug report the bottom lights not working? Logcat doesn't mention anything about it as far as I can tell. It seems to be a common problem with 2.6.4 (Not one that I particularly mind... I have my phone's physical set up memorized), but I figure it should be something that should be fixed.

Also, what is everyone's complaints with 2.6.4? The 3D Gallery worked* just as fine for me on it than anything prior.

*I say 'worked' because I hate the 3D Gallery and immediately replace it with the 2D Gallery as soon as I flash any ROM.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] marcusva79:

Bars mean nothing.

Settings> About Phone> Status

Scroll down to Signal strength, anything less then -100 is cause for concern. (Note that these numbers are negative, so "less" would be like -101, and more would be -99)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DJAscendance:
[Rom] Darchdroid v2.6.4 "Wait, This isn't a Nexus One?" | OC'd,Camera,Lights,EXT4

I know that the service is fine but I would still like my bars to reflect it. Im at -74 and normally I would be close to full.

Even if its not showing I understand my service is still the same, its just not seeing it that makes me feel like there is a problem ya know?

If its a problem with the theme I can fix it.

I figured darch might know what the problem is and could point me in the right direction on how to fix it :-)

where is the option to update the prl on this rom?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jus10o:
There isnt one.. You have to nandroid and flash a sprint rom. Update your prl and then nandroid back.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] lv2bll:
thx for the info jus10o

on another note what themes can u flash for this phone, earlier i just tried out of curiosity a darkstar theme based off of cm 5.0.7 and it worked! Does that mean any them based on cm 5.0.7 will work on dd 2.6.4?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jus10o:
Not just any of them. Some are full roms that are themed so of course they wouldnt work. Also some replace files that are important for a working hero. Also one I found would erase your camera.apk. It was a script within the zip. You had to remove it and resign the zip so it wouldnt do it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ace586:
Is there a particular reason for this? Seems a bit convoluted. I'm a bit worried about this, actually... before I rooted/flashed, I used to get network errors off and on, and updating the PRL and profile always seemed to fix it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abcdfv:
Try the different radios. One of them should help, but try them all.

Re: [Rom] Darchdroid v2.6.4 "Wait, This isn't a Nexus One?" | OC'd,Camera,Lights,EXT4

anyone having an issue shutting down tether. Will an older version fix this? I have to pull the battery to disable tether, never had to do this on my last Rom.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 27s:
This happened to me on FT, on this rom I use the newest WIFI tether...I think it is 2.0 (pre 13) or something like that. It has worked for me so far. If not, barnacle wifi tether in the market works as well.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jus10o:
This is just if you wanted to update the PRL.

"The PRL is a list of bands and channels in order of preference which the phone uses when it attempts to locate and connect to a cell system, such as when you first turn the phone on." Read more HERE

So updating will sometimes increase your coverage a lot more in some areas and sometimes you wont even notice a difference.

Darchdroid since its AOSP doesnt come with all the sprint updating stuff. So you do the method i said and then nandroid back and your updated prl will remain the same. No rom here will ever change the prl.

Amon RA 1.6.2?

Any idea if I can use Amon RA 1.6.2? I need to updated my PRL so will have to load DC2.09 first but not sure if darch recovery image will work on DC rom so I have to put amon ra 1.6.2 first...... and if this rom works on 1.6.2 image then I don't have to redo the whole thing!

Few questions for everyone here. First, is there a difference between using setcpu and overclock widget and if so please share.

Also, does anyone else have solid light notifications. Is that how it's supposed to be? I was able to change the blink pattern is message settings but my gmail notiication remains the same.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] herojordan:
...I think you guys may be on a different subject. I'm wondering about visual voicemail and such. I'm good to go on my recovery partition.

I could be incorrect though...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] herojordan:
Personally I think the overclock widget is much cleaner and happier than SetCPU. I've had better success. Not to say it doesn't get frustrating at times.

I also have solid light notification on the gmail, regardless of everything else.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] herojordan:
visual voicemail

Does anyone know if this would work to get visual voicemail up and running from this rom? I'm almost at my wit's end here.

Definitely not enough to push me away from this awesome ROM though. I LOVE this forum.

I've been having really poor battery life after a full charge. anyone else? I unplugged my phone from 100% about an hour ago and I'm already down to 89.11 percent drain in less than an hour and I wasn't even using it..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] HottKarl:
have you cycled your battery (charged to 100% - let the phone die - recharge to 100%)

then gone into recovery and wiped battery stats?

I am working on doing this now to see what happens. At this point I am getting really horrible battery life with little to no use of the phone.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DevinXtreme:
That's a lot of work for your battery... The first charge and kill seems redundant? To calibrate the battery, you turn it off, charge it until the light goes green, boot into recovery, clear battery stats, then just use the phone as normal until it dies. I did this last week and I got ~36 hours out of it before it died.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ItsDon:
Do you have to use until it dies?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DevinXtreme:
Yes and no. And it's incredibly painful, too, because you can't plug it in at all. So, like, when you find a theme or when Darch updates, you can't push it to your phone because you can't plug it in to the computer. But, in the long run, it is worth it. I mean, you don't have to be constantly on the phone, but you have to let it die, completely, to the point where it shuts off on its own.

But we're getting off topic now.
