Is it only my phone GPS doesn't stick on Google navigation? It works for 30 seconds top.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gu1dry:
GMaps w/ Navi works fine for me, used it Tuesday night.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jus10o:
My camcorder still force closes when switching to it. I know i should post a logcat but im actually walking out the door for the night.

Just thought i would mention it. I used the batteryfixxx.zip on darch 2.6.2. Thats all iv flashed.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jakejm79:
I reported that this afternoon and already posted a logcat.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jus10o:
Ok cool.. I havent read the past couple pages, ever time darch updates the thread takes off.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aweb31:
Nope, I just tried to use GPS. It picked up my location, and didn't update at all after that. Had to close maps/navigation and re-open to update my location.

*sigh*
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
vid camera is a problem with aosp source. not the kernel source
[Hero CDMA Android Development] szainmehdi:
So are we gonna see an update today? Just curious...no big deal :p
[Hero CDMA Android Development] djR3Z:
You are one lucky sucker. I got 6.5 hours on my first battery and I'm sitting at 88% after only 1.5 hours of little to no use on my second battery.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sph33r:
I suppose everyone probably knows this but I did some poking around and pretty much any rom running Toast's kernel is having issues shutting down WiFi tethering. It's happening in Fresh Toast, Fresh 2.1.2 when using Avalaunchmods OC audio fix kernel, and of course the DC roms as mentioned. So... that sucks but I'll just starting using a task killer on it I suppose. I don't use tethering that much but I'm going up north to the land of dial-up and I need it. :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Allen B:
Same issue here with my Phone. Google maps updates fine, but Navigator seems to have 30 second or more pauses as it is updating. Have not flashed batteryfixxxx.zip since everything else seems to be working..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] booyakasha:
Has anyone else been getting Calendar Storage FC's? It happens to me every once in a while and requires a wipe to fix. It was fine with fixxx, but i just flashed 4x and it started popping up again (happened before this round of fixes as well)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jus10o:
I wasnt blaming the kernel.

I got confused with you talking about 2.6.3 and that you had video fixed, since the small update was shortly after, i was thinking batteryfixxx.zip had the camera fix. Now that i think about it, I know why it still doenst work. I never actually looked to see what the small update all included. My mistake.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DevinXtreme:
I had this problem the first time I flashed 2.6. It has an easy fix.

First, take the Darchdroid 2.6.2 zip and extract the Calendar.apk file from system/app/ to the tools directory of your SDK. Then, open a command line and type:

adb remount
adb shell
cd /system/app
rm Calendar.apk
exit
adb push Calendar.apk /system/app

I don't know what goes wrong, but repushing it fixes the problem.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ethandissi:
so even after the vvm patch i am still not getting it to pull the text messages all i have is the welcome to sprint one... but i went to setting and it is like *84 or whatever... anyone have any ideas?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jus10o:
Yea you change the voicemail number to your number.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] lv2bll:
i was curious, does your jit guide work on this, and is there a way to activate swap as well
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ItsDon:
I used the piss out of my phone today (lots phone calls, photos taken and then uploaded to Facebook, SMS, Bluetooth in the car) and 2.6.2 with "xxx" fix has been solid. And I mean SOLID. Battery life is freakin' unbelievable, best of any rom I've run by a long shot. Sound quality on the phone seems sharper/clearer and everything is just a joy to use. Only issues I have are known common ones (MMS, WiFi Tethering lockup on exit) but I didn't have a chance to use GPS today so that may or may not be an issue. But for me, this rom with the fix is super good. Darch, you are awesome!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ethandissi:
hmm still not working is there a way i could of accidentally disable vvm i mean it is enabled on my phone... but could i have done so with the sprint servers... if so know any fixes?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jus10o:
UHHH??

JIT comes enabled on this rom.

Swap comes enabled by default- (i think, not 100%) you just have to have a swap partition. When partitioning your sdcard in recovery, swap is the first optition, leave it default 32mb.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] lv2bll:
thanks, wasn't sure!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ethandissi:
well i have given up on the vvm issue... i am just going to go back to google voice... no big i just don't like the delay it takes to connect the phone... but it is still awesome.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kenpoman:
to all those having issues with the wifi tether, I am not one so I don't know, have you tried to use a different version of the app.

the only on that worked for me before was the 1.6 version.

maybe it is not compatible with the .29 version.

someone should test all of them to find out if this is true. I would but I don't ues the program
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jakejm79:
I have tried 1.6, 2.0.1 Stable and 2.0.2 pre13 and they all work, but also all lockup on exit.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Allen B:
I like the HTC camera app much better.

I pushed HTCCamera.apk, but it crashed when I tried to run it.

Any ideas?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jakejm79:
HTC apps/widgets require the use of a ROM based on HTC framework (i.e. IC3) not a AOSP ROM. Camera Zoom FX offers some features that the standard android camera app doesn't, (self timer, zoom works, etc).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] roundaway:
My setup:

Previous rom breezy lite option 4 and tkirton's a2sd.

Rebooted into recovery -- Nandroid and copied sd card to harddrive

USB toogle to copy Darch Unoffficial Recovery 1.7

ADB and flash_recovery image, reboot recovery

Wiped everything available -- Factory,Dalvik,Cache, Battery,Rotation

Formatted card -- 32MB SWAP, 512MB ext 2, rest FAT32

Converted ext 2 to ext 3

Converted ext 3 to ext 4

USB toogle to copy Darchdroid v2.6.2, batteryfixxxx, and googleshits

Flash from zip -- darchdroid and googleshits

Rebooted phone

Turned off phone and then rebooted into recovery

Flashed batteryfixxxx

So far battery seems normal. One thing not working is under Text-to-Speech is Install voice data. I've pushed VoiceSearch.apk and was able to quickly select "Install voice data" before it grayed out to install SpeechSynthesis app. Even a reboot and no microphone on keyboard.

Enjoying the speed and 360-degree rotation. Thanks darch
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Allen B:
okay, thanks.

For some reason I thought I saw someone here in this thread say he was able to install the HTC camera.

No big deal. Thanks for the reply.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ItsDon:
I'm using Camera Magic from the Market. Doesn't do much but does give me full screen (like the HTC app) and Zoom plus it's free.

On another note, is Multi-Touch enabled on this rom? Just noticed it's not working on mine (2.6.2 xxx). Should I flash xxxx?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dec3ption:
This ROM is damn near perfect now. Unplugged at 1:00 AM, woke up at 10:30 with 84% battery left!!! The slight lag when a call comes in isn't too big of a deal... Only thing I'm missing is facebook photos syncing with my contacts (yes I tried the build.prop and updated facebook.katana) :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ItsDon:
Get FaceBook Sync from the market, works great.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dec3ption:
I've tried that before...took FOREVER to set up all the links to contacts and then I realized I had to manually sync it...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tlvb25:
yeah that blows chuncks that you have to manually sync :confused: with the facebook app...i dont even use it...its too tideous and time consuming. I really miss being able to sync my facebook apps automatically through my phone.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
I posted a modded apk on this thread that fixes facebook syncing through the app. Its buried somewhere in these 100 pages
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dec3ption:
I tried that, but didn't even get the option to sync :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ItsDon:
Will this modded apk be part of the upcoming release? I'll just wait if it is.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
here u go. The next release wont need a modded apk

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6596293&postcount=805
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dec3ption:
Hopefully it'll work in the next release :cool:

Excellent work thus far darch...running cool after xxxx :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tlvb25:
Darch i tried that modded apk, as a matter of fact i think i have it installed right now on my phone and it still dont work....its driving me :eek::eek::eek: bunkers :eek::eek::eek: cuz i have so many facebook contacts...lol.

was i supposed to change something in the build.prop?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ethandissi:
use facebook sync from the market
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dec3ption:
Speaking of the next release...any idea on an ETA? I know you said it was supposed to come out a couple days ago, but ended up just releasing the battery fix. Working on something special for us?? ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sporkman:
when its ready lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DevinXtreme:
If you used the modified .apk, you don't need to touch the build.prop. There is absolutely no reason this shouldn't be working for you.

You completely uninstalled the original Facebook app, right? Then you pushed the modified app to /system/app, right? Then you loaded the app BEFORE trying to sync, right? (If you did everything correct, you'll have to log in to Facebook again, and as soon as you log in, it will ask you if you want to sync contacts.)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dec3ption:
I did this exact process, but it never asks me if I want to sync contacts...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tlvb25:
I second that!!!! It never asks me to sync either...i have followed and did every recommendation that has been posted on how to get this to work and its a no go.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ethandissi:
are you guys just wanting the photos with your contacts or the whole shebang pictures plus the contacts numbers being imported from fb.... well i already have all my contacts due to google sync... i just like the pictures along side it... so i use an app called

facebook sync

... hopefully this helped if not i will see if i can find anything... i am not techy at all so i willl hunt down apps rather lol...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] szainmehdi:
Best battery life ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, lemme start off by giving darch a HUUGGGGEEEE thanks for the batteryfixxx....

I honestly have never used a better ROM (just my 2 cents) and after that update... :D

10:00 AM Unplugged. 100%

8:00 PM Heavy Use since 10am. Played Replica Island, Installed more than 20 apps, did lots of web browsing, downloaded music, played music, lotsa texting and some facebook. Battery = 86%.

WOW! :):D;):eek:

I cant believe it!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thematrixkid17:
My battery life is amazing. However, I'm having some issues with intermittent lockups (every 15-20 minutes) while performing heavy usage. I tried disabling JIT, and it's not the issue (I don't really care for JIT anyway). I'm going to try a wipe and reflash and see if this resolves it, and update my adventures in this post.

edit 1: looks like I missed the batteryfi(4x).zip, I didn't know the 3x fix had a 768mhz clock kernel default. My thought is, this may contribute to my lockup issues. I am now trying out the 4x fix. I have decided to not wipe yet.

edit 2: It doesn't seem to have locked up here in the past hour or so, maybe all is well.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alioto1:
whats the battery fix?!?!?!?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] andyriot:
+1 battery life is amazing now. but having random lockups/randomly booted back to homescreen? sometimes ill be typing fast and the keyboard will freak out and go away. never did this before the fixxx

[Hero CDMA Android Development] ffolkes:
wifitether works for me. i throughly tested it. i thought i read a few posts back that it wasn't compatible with this rom, but it appears to work..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thematrixkid17:
Specifically, which version are you using? I haven't even tried yet because I didn't want to fool with figuring out which version might work.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thematrixkid17:
If you're like me, you can't stand the really really super loud AOSP camera noise :eek:

So, here's a signed zip I whipped up to silence it. flash and enjoy.

(sorry 'bout double post, they were different topics; IMO justifiable)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darthwouter:
thank you so much darch, wonderful stuff, but on another note do any of you guys know how I could get apps2sd and JIT to work?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ukn0wnscaa:
any word on MMS working next release? Also any chance we can get launcher2 back in?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PRGUY85:
JIT is enabled by default, I think. Apps2SD is enabled in Settings>Applications.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] barnacles10:
Any luck with fixing MMS? I would love to try this rom out, but thats simply a feature I can't lose in an everyday rom. Lovin the aosp though.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darthwouter:
The apps2sd option is just greyed out whenever I go there
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PRGUY85:
You have to partition your SD card. I have a FAT32 1.4GB and 512MB EXT3 partition plus a Swap. You can do this on Ubuntu.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darthwouter:
Thanks, that clears things up, so the apps2sd can only install on a ext3 partition? also just out of curiosity how big i ur swap part and is it helpful?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PRGUY85:
I'm having a problem with the Grass Live Wallpaper. It won't stick after a while and revert to the default Darchstar 2.6.2 wallpaper. Any ideas?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kraminc:
I was having the same problem, but for some reason if i previewed the wallpaper and let it go through the entire cycle it stuck. :confused:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PRGUY85:
So how's the battery life for you guys after the fix?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tokuzumi:
For me, battery life is great, compared to the sense ui enabled roms.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PRGUY85:
What benefits does using the recovery-darchdroid2.img file bring before flashing this ROM?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rgildoss:
im still on 1.6.2 ...i read some people were having problems and losing root and since i have the new hboot i cant ruu back to 1.5 so i just never tried ...1.6.2 works fine for me ..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thedudejdog:
somewhere between awesome and retarded-ly good
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kelsonelso:
images are blurred in gallery3d... anyone else experiencing this?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tokuzumi:
I had an issue with the new Amon_RA 1.7, where I couldn't get into recovery. I ended up having to run the sprint test 2.1 ruu, and then re-rooting, and putting the 1.7 recovery image back on, and loading my rom back up. You may not have that issue, but if you want to use this rom, and make a backup of the ext partition, you can't use 1.6.2...at least I couldn't. It gave me an error message when I would try to backup the ext partition.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PRGUY85:
Well I just flashed the latest darchdroid recovery.img and I'm still stuck on the HTC logo.

Update:

It seems the same just happened to me...

Sorry to use this thread for this, but ok I will use the test RUU.exe file and then I can just root as stated on the Windows guide?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mcfarlan:
Took me a few hours of research, but if all else fails like it did with me, the factory reset option here works...you will have to re-root though.

Use ClockWorkMod recovery. It supports sd-ext. Its a little sketch but less then 1.7. Dl clockworkmod manager from the market.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Silverskull:
Happens for me while they're loading. You just have to wait... a lot.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ethandissi:
i am pretty sure you can have apps2sd with ext4 i do :P....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PRGUY85:
It depends on wht recovery.img file you are using. I know Darch's lets you do it. However, based on my last 2 hours, Darchstars recovery made me lose being able to boot into recovery mode.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] coldsweat:
Yeah the whole 3d Gallery is a mess for me. The GUI for it is oversized - as if its for the screen size of the Nexus. Also when I use the 3dGallery to crop and select a photo for a contact, the picture is blurry. I've just been using the 2d version for now.

Also whenever I do crop a HQ picture for a contact, once the picture has been cropped and set, the picture his blurry and over pixelated. I don't know if its what Google does when it syncs contact pictures to the cloud. I heard it automatically uses a lower quality pic. That could be it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ffolkes:
i'm using wifitether version 1.60
[Hero CDMA Android Development] SimPup:
You won't be able to flash a recovery once you flash that test ruu let me get on my comp and I'll post the steps to take to get recovery back
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PRGUY85:
Don't worry. I went back to factory reset and re-rooted with 1.6.2.img.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] SimPup:
Well I'll post it anyways cause seems like more people starting to have this problem and its a pain in the ass to search for a fix.

First grab the RUU HERE and run it.

Then you need to get the files posted HERE

Next follow the instructions HERE the part where its telling you to flash "recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2.img" just change it to "recovery-darchdroid2.img" if you wanting to use darch's
[Hero CDMA Android Development] lv2bll:
i would like to run some themes on this rom ie:darkstar, clockless taskbar and others. What would i need to do to edit them to work with this rom?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] justinisyoung:
use the 3d gallery from darchdroid 2.6.12 or something like that. that one doesn't have the oversized problem.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vastateofmind:
Anyone having GPS issue w/ DarchDroid 2.6.2? I absolutely fell in LOVE with this ROM, had it installed for most of this past week and it ran BEAUTIFULLY, especially after Darch issued the batteryfixxx on Friday. HOWEVER, I tried using the Google Maps/Navigation app and GPS during a 6-hour trip on Friday afternoon/evening and the GPS *totally* failed me. Would work for about 5 minutes after I asked Google Maps to find My Location and then plugged in directions, but then the GPS would either drop out or just freeze. Because I rely a WHOLE lot on GPS and Google Maps/Directions several times a week, I had to re-flash Flipz' latest Fresh 2.1 ROM while I was driving Friday (bad, I know), but I needed the GPS and the latest DarchDroid 2.6.2 ROM just wasn't cutting it. Has anyone else noticed variable GPS performance on the DarchDroid ROM? I so want to go back to this ROM!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tokuzumi:
I'm having issues with google navigation "losing" my position while navigating.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] duffkitty:
I mentioned this a few pages back. There is a gps fix somewhere in this thread and can verify it does not fix this issue. I find it weird but what in the battery fix can murder gps?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Wabem:
Is anyone else still having lock up issues? I have wiped everything available to wipe, flashed the image then googleshits then the fixxx to no avail. I thought it might be the recovery image so i to flash the new one only to be stuck with the HTC bootscreen lockup. I RUU'd got darch's recovery on there, reflashed the image then googleshits again then the fix. I also tried flashing just the rom and the fix to see if that would do it but nope. Every time it either locks up on the boot screen or the phone starts but then just locks up as soon as it gets booted and i have to pull the battery. Am I missing something?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vastateofmind:
I didn't necessarily mean to implicate this past Friday's batteryfixxx patch in the GPS issue with DarchDroid 2.6.2 -- it may well have been an issue before the battery fix. But Friday was the first time that I attempted to use GPS for an extended period of time. I'm hoping that maybe I'm a fluke and that most of you aren't having GPS issues, because DarchDroid is hands-down the single best AOSP ROM out there for the Hero, and I'm hoping to get back on it sooner rather than later....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] comintern:
I had the same issue. Could this be related to the kernel source coming from the Eris? The only reason I suspect the kernel is that I worked at Verizon when the official Eris 2.1 update rolled out and this was an issue in their official release too. Droid Incredible has a similar issue -- the tech bulletins say that 3rd party apps (read Google Maps) can take up to 5 minutes to return a GPS reading. I didn't think to grab copies of the .pdfs before I quit but they didn't give any more specific info.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ItsDon:
I think it's the only AOSP rom for the Hero ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whiteonline:
I did notice the same issue; no change after flashing the previous GPS fix. I tried installing Sprint navigation without luck (kept on losing GPS signal).

This is really unfortunate since I rely on the GPS function for my cycling app. Hopefully a fix can be found, but for now, back to Fresh...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] duffkitty:
I mention the fix because a fresh wipe and 2.6 install it works fine. After I flashed the fix the problem came. I reflashed to test this.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PRGUY85:
Here's hoping Darch releases 2.6.3 with all new fixes and a few surprises.

One thing, VVM still doesn't work. The app won't download the voicemail and it will just receive SMS notifications.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] coldsweat:
What a painfully obvious solution :p, worked great, thanks :D

I forgot that the 2.5.1.2 Gallery3D.apk had working landscape as well :D, killed two birds....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DevinXtreme:
Flash the (4x) fixxxx. It's a few pages back. Darch made the ROM default the clock speed to 768 in the (3x) fixxx and some phones don't like that, so he released the (4x) fixxxx to drop it back to 710.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] duffkitty:
If I use oc widget what is a good setting to use while remaining battery efficient? My phone seems to run fine at 768 but should I set it 768 768 screen on and 19 247 screen off?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kelsonelso:
mind posting the 2.5.1.2 gallery3d.apk? :)
