[Hero, G2 Touch General] jmarden:
I rooted my Hero a long time ago and installed Cyanogen's Recovery Image 1.4 on at the same time.

Over the last couple of days I've finally got hacked off waiting for an official 2.1 ROM to be released and decided to have a play with some of the Custom ROMs. The problem I've run into is that all of the guides talk about erasing data from different directories and partitions but none of them discuss how to do it !?

All I really need to know is if this is something that must be done via adb and what/where the directories are that need to cleared out.

I have searched and trawled but I get the feeling that this step is something that is done antomagically by the newer Recovery Images. If that's the case, would you suggest I upgrade mine ? And to what ?

Thanks for the help :)

(Really looking forward to playing with VillainROM 6 )
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ddotpatel:
Yep,... Id 1st updrage your recovery to AmonRa 1.6.2.

Use BTDAG's guide in my signature to find out how to install it or I think there are ADB instructions for the installation in the Amon Ra thread.

Once that is done, before you flash a new ROM, turn of your phone, you go into your recovery by holding "HOME" and "POWER" buttons, then go into wipe, then select all of them one by one,....

[Recovery ROM] [07-Mar-2010] RA-hero-v1.6.2
[Hero, G2 Touch General] jmarden:
Thanks ddotpatel, I guessed it might be due to the age of the Recovery Image I've got :)

I'll upgrade this evening :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] cauli:
Any idea exactly what stats are erased by the battery stats & rotation settings options?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ddotpatel:
No idea pal,... but if Im flashing a new ROM without having 100% battery I leave the battery settings wipe.

I assumed that wiping battery stuff makes your phone think your battery is full after the wipe,...

So say its actually at 50%, then you wipe stats and flash a new ROM, then your phone thinks that battery is at 100% so will only charge upto that level.

The only thing I'm basing this on is I have read people say that when flashing a ROM when battery is not 100% they seem to lose battery capacity. But who knows, it could be psychological?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] btdag:
AFAIK battery stats deletes stuff like which programs have been using your battery as well as the currently stored battery figure. I assume that on next boot it checks the battery capacity afresh and goes with that figure.

Rotate one - i assume is to do with application rotation and the g-sensor.

I always wipe this data because it can't hurt - worst case it has to work it out again and it takes an extra 10 secs or so on startup.

Lithium Ion batteries don't have the "memory" problem of older batteries where they forget any charge that is left in the battery when it is put on charge and assume when its removed from charge that it is 100%. They should always stay the same capacity for their entire life duration. Again this is all AFAIK :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ddotpatel:
Aahaaa,...

I always take what you say as gospel BTDAG.

Might have a read up on batteries later,... If I remember,... If I can be arsed!

Do you ever flash ROMs without having 100%?... No problems?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] cauli:
I took the same cautious view as ddotpatel. I figured if it's important enough to store in it's own private flash, it's probably holding data related in some way to the physical state of the phone, or an estimate thereof. I'm wary to touch them without ever having seen any solid info on what's there.

I've noticed one or two new ROM threads where the user is told to wipe these stats. I hope no one gets burned as a result.

BTW Also all afaik. It's just that in my case that isn't very far.

I was rummaging around on the Team Speak forums and saw some people wanting this. I have to admit that I would like to see it as well because I would use it quite frequently.

Anyone else out there want to see some Team Speak 3 action for Android??

Moto Droid here...
[Android Software Development] the_fish:
Not possible i guess, as their libraries are proprietary which means, there is no sourcecode of them -> no custom made apps using their stuff. Good against bad hacks, bad for community driven apps...
[Android Software Development] eskion:
Well, that definately sucks, but it was a good idea while it lasted.

ok, i noticed 2 different home screens when updated froyo 2 different times...

the first time i ran froyo was very similar to the old U shaped of icons.

the second time i installed froyo the homescreen had a tutorial icon of how to add icons... 2nd slide had a market widget looking icon.

what is the correct one? like what is the homescreen froyo installs correctly? dunno what i did different besides just adding clockwork recovery the 2nd time. i used the same zip files both times.
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
What made you install FroYo the second time?

Did you wipe?
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Mine (after a wipe) was empty with the tutorial widget showing.
[Nexus One General] D200P13:
no wipe i just wanted to make a fresh backup of it with clockwork
[Nexus One General] Meltus:
The second flash sounds like it installed the correct one.

Are you sure you didn't have a custom home app left over when you first flashed it?
[Nexus One General] D200P13:
i can cyan. did the stock tutorial then froyo. then redid stock tutorial then froyo then backup.

well if this is the way it should be im good then :D
[Nexus One General] lordvikon:
the correct one is the latter. the one where u are greeted with the little android icon telling u stuff
[Nexus One General] jdmoore81:
Mine was like the first when I upgrade but I wiped the device and had the latter but I like it better with no icons cause I would only use the web and phone icons and now I don't have to

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sheek360:
Had to hear it from the horses mouth, I called up HTC's tech support. I asked what was the difference between WCDMA preferred and GSM AUTO PRL. The gentleman I spoke to told me that they both have lots in common and that the only difference is that WCDMA preferred will favor 3G and GSM AUTO PRL will favor EDGE.

He continued to tell me that WCDMA preferred needs to reach a low threshold to go straight into 3g from edge. GSM AUTO PRL has a higher threshold, or higher standard has to be met (db of 3g signal) before it will go into 3G.

He mentioned that gsm auto prl will save the user a bit more power because it wont force the phone to continuasly hunt for a stronger signal. Typically this option gives our n1's a weaker signal and slower data speed. But he said it depends on our network in our city.

I also verified this information with t-mobiles tech support. They were a bit vague though. But they did mention that WCDA preferred will prefer 3g and that gsm auto prl is its complete opposite and will only prefer 3g if the signal is strong enough.

What do you guys think? Does this make sense?!?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sheek360:
Got this

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sheek360:
I guess from this we can conclude that we will get a stronger signal and faster data using wcdma preferred, if we live in an area with horrible service. Seems like the guys with excellent service wont be affected one way or the other.

right?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sheek360:
just conducted a test. I get no service inside of my sons school with my n1. i put my n1 on gsm auto prl and i left my sons n1 on wcdma preferred. we both walked in the school till we lost service. as soon as we walked out i was on full bars of edge. my son was on 1 bar of 3g. i wanted to repeat the test over and over again but my wife gave me "that" look. BTW my daughters moto cliq had full bars of 3g inside the school and outside the school.

kids are 8 and 10, they have never brought home a B. straight a's and always on the honor roll. they wanted android phones, my 10 year old chose the n1 and my daughter picked the cliq. wife has a bb till the mytouch slide is released! android family that roots together stays together lol

Interesting, my Nexus S constantly drops the 3g connection (need to wait 15-30 seconds before it connects again), and I just realized its set to GSM/CDMA Auto PRL, will set it to WCDMA preferred and see.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
You'll have to keep an eye on it, unless you change the build.prop, it will revert back to it's default setting.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bunnybash:
How do I change this on my desire, the wcdma is terrible at my house so I always need to switch it manually or else if someone calls they can't hear me...

Would love it if I could get my phone to just switch to gsm when the wcdma sucks
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
That's how it behaves by default.

You can force GSM on by ticking the 2G networks only box in the network settings though.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
For the nexus one you press on the dial pad: *#*#4636#*#* and go into the hidden menu.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ykphuah:
You are right, it revert back to its default setting. How do I change it in build.prop? I don't see anything related in that file.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
The entry ro.telephony.default_network=0 needs changing to 3.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zok-star:
Will this make GSM Auto (PRL) stick?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
Should do, although mine seems to revert itself to WCDMA Preferred every so often anyway.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derekstaroba:
the PRL's of each of the phones should be different. They update those files constantly. It wouldn't be a fair and accurate test unless you knew for sure that you had the same PRL on two separate phones one that runs WCDMA and the other EDGE.

The PRL contains the RF information that your cell can access. When they update them they change the signals that your phone can and can't access so some signals are inhibited or blocked. There can be other modifications besides this like restricting speed or data.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haturaya:
As for my N1, GSM Auto PRL gives better battery life than WCDMA Preferred. On average, it gave 15 to 20% better battery life.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derekstaroba:
Something I've read and been under the impression for a good while now is GSM technology is better than CDMA technology in a lot of ways. This doesn't make sense though because WCDMA is actually relatively recent. At first I thought it was because it's harder to unlock a CDMA phone and that may be the case but I'm not so sure. WCDMA is supposed to be compatible with HSPDA (Pretty much T-mobile as far as I know) which is supposed to be super fast though. Have you been able to compare the internet speeds?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr_raider:
I'm guessing the better battery life is not due to GSM being better, but that the poster is in an area where wcdma (3g) is marginal. In those cases, the phone will continuously hunt for better signal, depleting the battery. Changing to GSM preferred probably alleviates the issue.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haturaya:
I think that might be the case. At home, GSM signal is better than 3G, thus the saving it shows. But at work, both 3G and GSM are equal, hence doesn't make any significant different. One have to try.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbolinao:
haha! nice one!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbolinao:
On my Nexus S, I noticed that when I choose WCDMA Preferred, it goes back to GSM/CDMA auto (PRL) right away after exiting the system page. (which s*cks because I don't want to root my phone to edit build/prop)

But anyway, when I choose WCDMA Only, it switches between WCDMA Preferred and WCDMA Only depending on signal strength. But it only switches on those two with this setting.

I'll continue to observe.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ykphuah:
Yeah, I can't set mine to WCDMA preferred too, let me know if you manage to do it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbolinao:
yup will let you know.

i just don't understand why Google or Samsung put so limited settings for network type. The only available option is a checkmark for 2G.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rayj00:
Maybe a dumb question but what setting detects 4G?

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taodan:
The texasice's ICS ROM doesn't have the option to choose which network mode to use like the ones mentioned above. Does anyone know why? Will these options be included in future updates?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pr0x:
Hi I use IncertCoin 5.5.0 on my sensation, but WCDMA Preferred is default after reboot, is there an option to make GSM Auto PRL default even after reboot and not change it manually every time?

Thanks.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
You have to edit your build.prop

ro.telephony.default_network=4

I think 4 is the number you want, at least
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pr0x:
It is 4th in the column but wcdma is set as 0 default, i have tried to set it as 3 and 4 and after hot reboot it still shows wcdma. Do i have to edit upper lines?

In the file it looks like this

Edit:

I saw the numbering somewhere and it was 3 for GSM Auto PRL, but still after full restart it doesnt work. Should some cache be erased for that and if signal is not so good is it really helpful to leave it on GSM Auto PRL anyway?

Thanks.

@ indagroove

Great looking rom. I would like to try it out but I have just one question before I do. How much ram do you have left over after a soft reset. You can tell me either the percentage used with HTC Task Manager (Which I see you used on the rom) or the free ram on the memory properties page. Thanks in advance for the reply and I cant wait to test run this rom. :D

I'm currently running a Titanium only rom, so can't test now, but I seem to recall task manager showed 52% to 54% used after soft reset. That's with a 15MB PP size, which directly affects available ram memory. I've optimized my XIP a bit more since this release, and my Titanium ROM is currently at 42% used. Once I get the manila files cfc compressed, I will release an update to this rom with the improved XIP.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] burtonsnow8:
Actually, that is not completely true. BareNakedRom has an installable manilla package.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] indagroove:
Of course, you would have to convert all modules to files for a cab installation which would in all likeliness affect performance and speed of Manila and it's dependencies. Cab installing Manila 2.5 seems kinda silly to me.

Hi, newbie here..

You have COM2 SYS 21914 and COM3 SYS 23129 listed for download, now I have a stupid question.

What's are the differences between the COM2 and COM3 version? And how do I know which one I would need?

I have the VZW Touch Pro 2.

[Touch Pro2 CDMA] indagroove:
COM2 builds are the standard 6.5 builds with the smaller menu bars on the bottom and the startmenu icon on the top, and COM3 are the newer 6.5.3 builds with the larger menu bars on the bottom and the start menu on the bottom. The two builds also have slightly different dialers. Really, it's kind of a personal preference. The COM3 dialer doesn't have landscape, and closing apps with the X button doesn't work the same as COM2 builds, so the HTC task manager isn't included in COM3, but the WM task manager is. If you want something that you are used to similar to the 6.5 stock rom, go with COM2 and if you want to try something new and different, go with COM3. Better yet, ter each one for two days, and see which you like best.

[Touch Pro2 CDMA] hendhess:
Very nice...

Indagroove,

I'm really really really impressed with this. I've been a long time barebones WM6.1 user; maybe it's time for me to [finally] move to later builds.

I can't even tell the difference in performance between 6.5 and 6.5.X here. As you mentioned in your Mobile Underground thread, your method of cooking certainly makes a difference in the final build.

It's especially great for the internal medicine community, as your build runs UpToDate very well without any needed mods.

I do like ROMs where weekly resets aren't necessary -- I've disabled the phone skin, CUIHandler and some Manilla tabs to bump the RAM a bit.

I'll come up with more feedback in the coming weeks.

@Zsunsun - I believe that the first post is always updated with the latest build and links.

Also I've noticed with this build my data connection is constantly on, is there are a way to time it off or at least turn it off until one of my apps calls on it? And one other question is there correction cab for the physical keyboard mapping, example if I hit the coma I get a period, if I hit the full colon key I get a forward slash. I have to hit the symbol key to set the proper symbol. Sorry for all the questions, but this is my first time flashing, the build is really excellent and fast just some small issue's as I've mentioned.
