this could cause a issue, you should update your recovery, then maybe try to the deodex version
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thatguythatdid:
This is gonna be my first time flashing this rom and I was wondering if your still using the stock kernel without overclock. Also is the a2sd method pretty much the same thing as the froyo would use if released by htc minus of course the choice to move it via settings/app
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chromiumleaf:
Yes the default kernel is the stock sprint/HTC one with no OC.

Don't know the answer to your apps2sd question, sorry.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chromiumleaf:
Just an FYI, that recovery version still does wipe your dalvik, even though you get that "run 'wipe dalvik' via adb" or whatever it says. It's just an output error in that particular version of recovery, but it does actually wipe your dalvik anyway. I know this for a fact because I'm using v1.5.2 and I wipe dalvik in that recovery all the time -- it does work.

As for your Gmail push issue, supposedly if you kill/end the GTalk service, your Gmail doesn't auto-refresh anymore. Are you killing this manually? Or do you have a TaskKiller that's killing it? This could maybe be your problem...just a thought.

HTC_IME v.25 (keyboard) was added to this image. Can this be removed, would it need to be replaced? What is special about it?

Thanks

Great image! I removed one too many apps but nandroided back and things are great again. If i do not get an answer then I will nandroid and try a removeal of the app
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
yes it can be removed with out any issues, the reason it is added is for voice to text.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] c00ller:
It's a modded HTC keyboard with a lot of added features and customizability. More info here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=624416

I like it better than stock HTC keyboard because of the smiley button and swipe gestures

odex or deodexed?

I've been flashing roms on my Hero for awhile. I'm quite happy right now with Rooted stock *.5 and an OC'd kernel. I saw this update today...wondering if I should flash the Odexed or deodexed version. I've done some reading and can't really find clear answers on the disadvantage of an Odexed version. I don't do heavy modding. Just enjoy having root, a speedy phone and great battery life. Could someone offer a little advice?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chromiumleaf:
The deodexed version is for those who wish to apply custom themes, mods, etc. to their apps and framework.

If you aren't interested in customizations and mainly just looking for speed and stability, the odexed version is the one for you. Odexed versions take up less memory on the phone and run speedier overall. Not sure if they are any better on battery life but I would assume they are for the previous reasons listed.

Hi,

So the only thing that was updated on 7/7/2010 was

So from my understanding it is just a graphics thing?

Also if I install it is there an update zip to remove or do I just nand restore?

Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
I can create an update that will restore it to original if need. I'll post when when I get home from work today.

Speaking of modding keyboards, can anyone mod the swype keyboard and add the vlingo mic button to it? That would make my hero my favorite item I own.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tailsthecat3:
this just a zip that is flashed through recovery?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Outer Marker:
There seem to be conflicting ideas about the procedure for a dalvik wipe. Can somebody shed some light on it?

I'm starting over with a rooted phone. I have a freshly formatted SD card and I want to install nfinitefx45 ROM. I'm using the Amon_RA 1.6.2 recovery environment.

1. Copy ROM.zip to SD card

2. Boot to recovery

is it 3a - Wipe data/factory rest, wipe dalvik, Flash ROM.zip, reboot.

or 3b - Flash ROM.zip, then wipe data/factory reset, wipe dalvik, reboot.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tailsthecat3:
if this is like flashing any other rom, i would wipe both.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
3a. always wipe data and dalvik before flashing any rom.

Stock Expresso

Can anyone Deodex this zip? I would like to use it on this ROM but I think it needs to be deodexed first.

Stock Expresso
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tailsthecat3:
nfinitefx45, or anyone for that matter- is there any way to enable vanilla lock w/out haptic? will other patches/fixes/hacks work? i really hate the message preview on the htc lock screen. and the menu-menu... my phone wouldnt vibrate for incoming messages with .5. .6 fixed this for me.

i deleted a whole load of stuff and this thing is very speedy. gonna try the oc kernal later which will blow me away, im sure. especially if it is this fast now. where can i find the bench programs at? please and thank you

edit: im on the odex version
[Hero CDMA Android Development] c00ller:
Linpack and Quadrant are popular benchmarking programs. I've only tried Linpack, which gives a result measured in MFLOPS (Million Floating Point Operations Per Second). Hero devices on stock ROM, stock kernel, non-OC'ed typically get around 2.0 MFLOPS.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chromiumleaf:
I recommend you try searching a thread before asking questions like this. I answered this very same question for someone just a couple days ago. If you go back about 4 or 5 pages, or do a simple search for 'vanilla', you can find my previous post about the vanilla lock screen.

I'm using the Version with A2SD 2.7 Update 2. Am I reading the post correctly, that I simply need to download and flash the update [update_signed.zip]?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
yes you shouldnt have any problems updating A2SD, I have updated mine to 2.7.5 and havent had any issues thus far.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tailsthecat3:
I saw that and the posts following make it seem that those fixes dont work to get the vanilla lock screen. On this rom anyway.

Seems there is no way get the vanilla lock...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mozman:
If it helps for people to know, I've been using recovery version 1.5.2 and have not had any problems with nfinite's ROM. :D

EDIT: Just to add I have also flasked onto my phone the DarchKernelv4, Superuser 2.2.2. Haven't added the a2sd 2.7.5 yet, but seeing that nfinite has no problems I'll do that over the weekend. FYI - These reboots after flashing these small updates/programs are like 10+ minutes long and I have been wiping Dalvik after each flash, per a tip from another poster (sorry forgot who).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chromiumleaf:
Well don't give up just yet :) I think it is still untested at this point. I never tried doing it myself.

I did successfully get Fresh's Espresso framework pushed onto this ROM. But once I got that working I never tried flashing the vanilla lockscreen over top of it, so I don't know if it would have worked or not. My guess is yes, because Fresh's Espresso framework was already in place. Maybe I'll do this again soon to find out for sure.

Here's my post about that from a couple weeks back: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6996561&postcount=292
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tailsthecat3:
Thanks for that.

Your sig states you use the overclock kernel for this rom. Does it have the menu unlock lag? I used it with fresh 2.3.3 and i didnt like it....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Outer Marker:
I know you didn't pose your question to me, but for what it's worth, I use the same OC kernel as Chromiumleaf and I have not noticed this menu unlock lag, or any lag in the phone coming out of sleep.

unable to start wireless

Hi,

I flashed this ROM today to get back to sense & the original state of my hero (the odex version). I also flash darchkernelv4 with this. Everything seems to work fine except the wireless. Whenever I enable wireless, I get this "unable to start Wi-Fi' in the settings menu. Has anybody else seen this before ?

I like everything else in this ROM, and was planning to alternate between this and darchdroid for daily use.. this lets me connect to work/exchange so needed on days when I am not @ work.. However I need to get the Wi-Fi to work.

Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] c00ller:
Hi, noob here. Just wondering, how can you be switching ROMs for daily use? Won't that require wiping, reflashing, and restoring all settings and apps every time you switch?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tailsthecat3:
its cool. thats why we post on boards so that anyone can give input...otherwise itd just be pm's all day. im gonna try the oc kernel but first i want the vanilla lockscreen but before that i have to fix my pc...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whiteonline:
You can do this by restoring nandroid backups.

Get your phone configured as you want it, then boot into recovery and make a nandroid backup. Install another ROM, configure it and make another nandroid backup.

Restore the nandroid you wish to use.

I find it less confusing to rename the nandroid backup directory to the name of the ROM you backed up (they are named with the date/time of backup).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] JB in AZ:
I didn't realize you could rename the folder, the one with the phone's serial number...on the SD card? Hmm. I generaly just rename the nandroid file with the name of the rom and date, ex : Fresh233OCJuly910AM This is Fresh 2.3.3 with OC kernal made July 9 at 10AM.

The date and time automatically put into the backup file name seems to be off by 7 hours for me, must be greenwich time??
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
Try flashing the rom right over top of the previous install, it sounds like something didnt install correctly. Probably something corrupted during install.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tailsthecat3:
nfinite45x! any progress towards vanilla lockscreen on this?? id love me some vanilla lockscreen. i hate the message preview...

Stop bugging him about it, lol :) I was the one who said I was going to test it, and I haven't had the time to do so yet. Be patient :D

Rename the directory where the img files are placed, not the S/N directory.

SN_DIR/RENAME_DIR/image_files.img
[Hero CDMA Android Development] JB in AZ:
Hmm, must be the heat, but I'm not sure I follow you...When I make a nandroid backup, it gets saved on my SD card as follows: SD/nandroid/HTC99GHF12345/BDS-20100709-2300. I rename the BDS-20200709-2300 to (as an example) Fresh233OCJuly94PM. That way, I know exactly what nandroid I am using when I restore.

I'm sure it doesn't matter how we do it, as long as it works for us. :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chromiumleaf:
I'm pretty sure you two guys are doing the exact same thing (nandroid rename), just describing it in two different ways.

Hello EveryOne, I am looking for some Rom Testers

Hello , I am getting ready to release a new rom that has been dressed up, it will be including several features a few that have been around and a few that haven't.

At the moment it is beta and will remain that way till all the features that I want are fully functional. Currently it will include FriendStream, App sharing, Flash (working but not perfectly) and a few other little addons, plus the continuation of the Zen theming.

Attached are just a few Screen captures of it running.

Any help from you guys would be great.

It Is currently named ZenHeroFX, not sure if I like that yet. LOL

To see more of the feature I am trying to bring to this rom check out the HTC WildFire I have gotten some, just want the rest

[Hero CDMA Android Development] bodyshop:
Hello I was just about to use the RUU to get my phone back to .5 when i came across this thread. Is there some instructions on how to install this stock rom?

I have .6 and i really just want the wifi tethering and to install live wallpapers and to be rooted so i have the option to do more in the future.

I am not a noob just new to android. I was a pre user and it was overclocked, wifi-tether, many patches and all.

Thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bodyshop:
Also does this version have wireless tether already installed? if not can someone post alink where i can get it?

The apps2sd, do you have to do anything special to your SD card 1st for this to work or does simply installing the ROM set everything up for you?

Last does the OMADM.apk disable future OTA updates? if not what is it for(i was assuming that was what it is)?

I already saw how to disable OTA updates so if thats not what its for i will follow that procedure.

Sorry for all the questions
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
It's no problem, asking questions is how we learn. Just the next time edit your post instead of 3 different posts, lol.

First and foremost you need to go to this thread and run the ruu to get back to .5. thin in that same thread root you phone. After that is completed it is a simple fact of flashing this rom from your new recovery console.

Make sure to read the first several threads of that post as it will guide you very well.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] mozman:
I had same problem as you. My solution was to start over and wipe everything (data, dalvik, ext) and then reflash the Rom. I got to 128mb. Just make sure you nandroid backup. Reinstalling everything is a long.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mtnchkn:
nfinite45,

I wanted to get you some feedback that might be useful. I started it off using the awesome stock ROM in this thread, but then moved over to beezy420's HoneyBun build (the odexed v3). One of the biggest things I noticed was that I didn't have a delay on the dialer like I did running your ROM (neither OC'ed). I credit this to the memory manger thing beezy bakes into his (which I can't seem to find the name of). Not sure if this was in yours, but maybe in the future one it might be useful. Another explanation could just be that I wasn't comparing HoneyBun to the odexed stock you just put up. You two seem to exchange ideas, so maybe you already thought of this too.

Anyways, thanks again for the awesome ROM (and maybe one day the wiki will be back up). :cool:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mozman:
Hey nfinite lookin forward to your beta release! Love the new features you are adding in, especially flash. Will you by chance have a version or ability to stick with the Sense UI? I have gotten attached to it. Thanks. Keep up the great work.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
That is full sense ui, and it is being tested by a few at the moment.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Outer Marker:
Hey mozman, and nfinitefx45,... I'm using the deodexed version of this ROM, no apps2sd, and the best I can do is 80MB internal free. How in the heck are you guys getting 128MB free? Surely this is only possible with the odexed version?

My issue is that the odexed version has the broken SU app in it, the one with the Ninja scuba diver icon, and that won't work, especially with WiFi tether.

Any chance at an odex version with the proper SU app... the blue orb one with the # sign?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
i think you two are talking about two different things lol your talking about internal memory , like when you kill everything with a task killer you're left with 80mb free. their talking about memory for installing apps.....i think thats what you two are talking about?????
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mozman:
I think we are both talking about the internal storage..... I hope. :-)

I am using the deodexed version as well. I get the 128mb internal storage as I mentioned (wipe everything and flash nfinite's ROM, update 3). I am using a2sd, so after about 30 apps I am about 110mb of internal storage. However, my system storage is low 20+mb.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Outer Marker:
I go to Settings --> SD & Phone storage and look at the last entry. It says: Internal Phone Storage: Available space = 62.66MB

That was the entry I was talking about. Of course my SD card is a 4GB class 6, and I have 3GB left on that.

I don't have any place on my phone that says "system storage" - is ther an app for that?

[Hero CDMA Android Development] Outer Marker:
Bugger! so we were talking about the same thing, and you have 113MB. Could it be that your dalvik cache got moved to the SD card? Is it possible that dalvik cache accounts for about 50MB of space?

The reason I ask is that my recovery image Amon_RA 1.6.2 has an option for moving dalvik to SD. However, this is not recommended, especially if you don't have a class 6 SD card. Perhaps I should just let it be at 66B internal storage. I can't see myself downloading 100 apps. I usually only keep the ones I use at least on a weekly basis.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nolig2278:
I was having trouble too with formating the SD card but then I used the SD format option with "ClockwordMod" Recovery and it took seconds to reforat properly. I simply restarted after that and my free /Data went from under 20mb to over 60.

I was able to format while running my phone with the ClockworkMod GUI.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Outer Marker:
Interesting, but I'm not sure I follow how a format of the SD card frees up internal phone storage. By definition, an SD card is external storage. :confused:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mozman:
I have not activated a2sd to move the dalvik cache to SD. I had this same problem when using the fresh 2.1.2 ROM. Then I was getting warnings about low internal storage. After a complete wipe I got 120+mb of storage. After installing apps I was down to about 60mb. I did not use a2sd then.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pegb856:
I have not read completely through this thread but I did install this Rom, I used the version on the front page for class 2 SD cards. I have 57 extra apps installed and I have 115MB free space on my device. I have an 8G standard Sandisk so I am presuming its only class 2. I wiped my sd and dalvic and formatted to ext.3 before installing the ROM.

Seems to be working ok other than every once in a while rosie goes black for a few seconds but quickly recuperates.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bodyshop:
How exactly do you install the update for the camera fix do you just drag and drop it to SDcard then reboot recovery mode choose install zip from SDcard then reboot? if so I tried this and now my camera says not installed. i reflashed the ROM again and it was back so i tried to install the camera fix again and got the same result.

I am using the Odex Version for the non theme People. Could this be the problem?

[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
the odex version does not need the camera fix. all fixes are for the deodex version. this is why it wont work.
