Yes I read that, I'm patiently waiting. Lol

Are you working on kernels as well? I read somewhere that limiting the power the radios use could be achieved. I don't know if that's possible but it would be cool. Max undervolting and powersaving radios. Seems like a dream.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] n01un0:
Nfinite, I am running one of the previous versions of the deoxed rom and haven't updated to the newest on my main phone (if it ain't broke....)

I was going to try the odex on my other hero but had a question. Do I still need to flash all of the additional files (update_signed, network_fix, etc) with the latest build or are they already incorporated into it?

I know on the version that I am using, I had to do the update_signed because I had camera issues and also the network_fix because the signal would bounce around or drop out.

One last question I have been meaning to ask all along, does having A2SD take additional room/mem even if your not using it? My 16g card is only class 2 so I don't use it. I tried it once before a while back when trying Fresh and I didn't notice really any difference (assuming I installed/setup correctly). I figured it was because my card was only class 2. Anyway, just wondering that if it does take up room and mem, even if not used, is it possible to get the rom without it?

As always, thanks in advance!

I'll hang up and listen to your reply..........

LOL
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
well hold off for a week or so I have an update that will move the dalvik to the cache partition this allows for data to be open so usually 150megs free spae after full install. this requires a new kernel for the commands but I am working on making as many kernels open for use as I can.

as for the newer roms they should have the fixes included
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oldjackbob:
I have a 16g class 2 card and I'm running a2sd on nfinite's latest rom with no issues at all.

My class 2 card has been more than capable of dealing with anything I've ever thrown at it. Best investment I ever made. ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] c00ller:
I'm using that kernel. It's the best.. no screen wake/lock screen lag, no audio pop, and very stable and smooth with no slow downs over time.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] c00ller:
Question for nfinitefx45.. someone asked me the other day, "If your ROM is based on the latest Sprint RUU, what did the dev do to it to make it so smooth?" I had NO idea how to answer this lol. Could you please enlighten me?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
Yes it is straight from the ruu, the only real differences is over time we are able to loacate issues and correct them as we go, not only that but memory management has everything to do with the phones operation buy moving certain apps to other partitions and freeing space where it is needed has vast improvements to the operating of the phone.

I have lists of stupid **** that has been been fixed or tweaked since i started the rom and it is a never ending saga.

Just like doing the deodexing of the phone always has inconsistancies that you catch so over a period of time you end up weeding out the bad and adding the good. same with the odex versoin if something gets tweaked and it provides a better out come then I will re odex it for the next rom.

it is truely a trial and error process.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oldjackbob:
Magnetometer question

I want to ask this of all the folks using this rom or any rom based off of the stock Sprint 2.1 release, because I think my problem may be caused by something in the stock Sprint code, which this rom is derived from.

Do any of you have problems with your magnetometer-based apps not behaving correctly? I have a Snaptic compass app that gives the warning, "Abnormal magnetic field detected" every time I invoke the app. My wife's Hero has the same app installed and it behaves exactly the same way. I'm also using EclipSim's GPS Status app which also polls the magnetometer, and it's screwed up too.

I'm running nfinite's latest rom, and my wife is running the factory non-rooted Sprint 2.27.651.6.

Here's something to add to the mix:

When I first rooted and flashed nfinite's original stock rom, the problem went away and my compass-related apps behaved beautifully, but the problem returned when he released his latest rom and I flashed that.

Don't misunderstand me, I'm not suggesting that the problem is caused by anything that nfinite did in any of his roms, because as I said, my wife isn't even rooted.

Does anyone else have the problem I'm describing, or are my wife and I just destined to live the rest of our lives southbound in the northbound lane? :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Rivas123:
Anyone can help out. I have nothing syncing, no background data, no widgets, set CPU to clock at stock speeds with the 691 kernel plus the Zen kernel perf lock flashed over. And the mod to increase internal memory. And my battery runs down like sand through my fingers. The Rom is flawless. I just want to know what I can do to help my battery last and not run down five percent while typing this. Any help will be great. Thanks in advance.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chromiumleaf:
Sounds like your phone isn't sleeping. The newest Facebook is one thing known to cause this -- do you have it installed or use it at all? That's just one thought.

Type *#*#4636#*#* into your Dialer, then go into the Battery history menu. Tap and scroll through all those different drop-down menus and see if you can locate anything that's taking up an unusually large percentage.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] googleguy:
Does anyone have a download link to ZenKernel-HTC-08122010 no perf lock? I Googled, found the thread on XDA and followed that download link but it took me to a repository, what is the link to the actual zip file for the kernel?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Rivas123:
I checked, seems like my phone is sleepin just fine, and I havent updated facebook to the newest one. Could I just have a weak battery?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chromiumleaf:
Make sure you click on the actual word "Download" under the no perf lock, not on the URL for the github repository. That link works just fine.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] chromiumleaf:
No, if your battery is dying 5% every couple minutes, that's more than just a weak battery -- I doubt any Hero battery out there is THAT weak, especially since you say you're not doing any background syncs and no OC speeds. Something is likely causing crazy drain, we just need to figure out what it is.

Have you rebooted into recovery and wiped dalvik lately? For some reason doing that can sometimes be a "magic" fix for some problems, haha.

Also try checking setcpu in the Info tab and see what all those statistics are there....maybe your phone is constantly running at the max 691 mhz and isn't ever scaling down?

If you still have trouble after that, PM me with what all you're running and we'll see if we can isolate what it may be.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oldjackbob:
Have you done a wipe of battery stats? That's effectively a "re-calibrate" of your battery.

It's certainly worth a try...recharge the battery fully, then reboot into recovery, and it's one of the "wipe" options.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] c00ller:
I thought I was the only one who relied on this trick, lol. It's solved 3 out of 3 strange, inexplicable issues I had with my phone :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Rivas123:
Thanks everyone for the help. I will try all of your suggestions. Thanks again.

So I wiped Dalvik, now doing the recalibration, should I also try collins_ph battery tweak? Or will that cause conflicts?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] googleguy:
Thanks!...AND...thanks nFinite for the help the other day on my notification sound issue.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
Need a few testers

this is what I need you must be running stock or dont mind testing at stock speed for know, This is for a patch to move dalvik to cache thus freeing the data partition. with success I will add other kernels to the mix.

also after doing this with success I will release and updated jit that should have much better performace for the stock rom.

So pm me if you are currently stock or dont mind testing stock speed.

Thanks for your help!

Ps make sure to let me know this is for the stock rom as I have testing going on for ZenHeroFX also

Can anyone please help me to get wifi tethering working? I'm running odex version of rom with the 691? kernel. laptop connects to access point fine but wont get internet. I also tried barnacle which worked great on darch 2.8 but that doesn't work either. I like this rom but absolutelly NEED to have wifi tethering working. Please help.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chromiumleaf:
Most have reported that it works with nearly all ROMs. But it does cause conflicts with setcpu or OC widget, so uninstall those if you use the batt. tweak. Also according to his OP, it needs to be used on an OC kernel, so it might not work very well if you are still just using the stock kernel. Overall though, most have reported greatly improved battery life with it....some people able to go as much as 2-3 days without having to charge.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Rivas123:
Cool, im on an oc kernel, so I might try the batt tweak. And I would love 2-3 days, itd be great to not worry when I leave my house. After calibrating ill pm you when ill go try the tweak and set the settings. Thanks btw.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
the only thing I can think of is try the new 2.3.4 superuser even though it might seem to be giving access 2.2 often would not give the access it was set for.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dvdqnoc:
What exactly is the purpose of the JIT? I have been running this ROM with JIT disabled for quite a while and love it. Just enabled JIT just to see how it would be, but noticed it actually made my phone slower than without JIT, so I was just wondering what exactly we should be expected with JIT enabled.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chromiumleaf:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just-in-time_compilation

JIT stand for "Just In Time" compilation. It is a method of calling apps, processes, and files designed for very quick runtime performance. Essentially it is supposed to make everything run a bit smoother and faster...I guess somewhat like what an OC kernel will do, but JIT is based more on data structure rather than just a faster CPU speed, and JIT doesn't need to be overclocked to work.

However, all that said, the Hero hardware isn't an ideal design to efficiently run JIT, so some phones don't notice any better performance with it, or in some cases it can even cause some phones to run more slowly (mine was one of these). Some ROM builds have improved JIT functionality but it still isn't an awesome performance boost for everyone.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oldjackbob:
That said, my money is on nfinite's latest effort (which isn't released yet), which is supposed to change the way memory is utilized so that JIT can run effectively, reliably and efficiently on the Hero.

Also, all other things being equal, my own experience with JIT shows a jump in Linpack scores from 2.4 without JIT all the way to 3.8 with JIT enabled...nearly a 60% jump.

Personally, I'm a big fan of JIT, and can't wait for nfinite to put the finishing touches on his latest effort. ;)

I can tell you this much...I'm testing his pre-release non-JIT cache-enabled rom at factory-stock 528/480 mhz speeds right now, and it's response is instant...you'd never believe it's running at factory speed. So just wait 'til he enables JIT and overclock! ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dvdqnoc:
So nfinite is working on a newer version? The original post says the current one is the final...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oldjackbob:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] b0ricua:
Which kernel are you guys liking with this ROM? I currently am using the 691 kernel that came with it but am receiving some wake/lock screen lag. Does the ZenKernel no perf lock fix this and respond well? Also could I just flash it over the other and all be well? Or do I need to uninstall some how? Thanks for you help.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chromiumleaf:
ZenKernel = no lock screen lag!

And yes, you can just flash over top with no wipe. No uninstall or module remover should be needed. I usually wipe Dalvik after flashing a new kernel, just to be safe and somewhat start fresh with it, but that's not really necessary.

The current version of zen's no perf lock kernel boots at 768 mhz though!! Many phones can't boot at that speed, so make sure you nandroid backup before trying it.

I use the perf lock one. It boots and runs at stock speed until setcpu overrides its settings after boot. I can't boot at OC speeds, so the perf lock version is the way around that for me.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] b0ricua:
Thanks! ill try the perf lock..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] b0ricua:
Chromium, would you mind sharing what speeds you are using and profile settings? Since I'm using the same kernel and SetCPU I'd like to have this optimized. Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Rivas123:
I keep getting Fc when trying to make a call. Any idea whats going on?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
I am not sure what all you have done so it is hard for me to say other than to my knowledge no one else is having the same issue.

let me know everything you have done or are running such as jit, partition resizing ect....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Rivas123:
No jit. 691 kernel. Odex. Batt tweak rc1b. Dark star theme. Thats about it.

Oh and firerats mod
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
just double check you availablespaces and make sure there is a little 2 to 4 megs on system and makes sure your cache isnt full might be a little to small on your firerats mod
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Rivas123:
I think I have it at 190 system and 5 cache. But I will double check. Thanks.

Bumped it up to 200 and 10 hopefully it works that way.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
Just and update

there will be a new semi-stock rom to add to the stock roms that will be setup for the ease of use for the user and the ease of expansion for further enhancements thru scripts instead of zips this allows for the ability to enable or disable features then simply reboot.

This along with the new dalvik to cache to open up the data partition with over 150 megs free upon install of the rom will hopefully allow for a fantastic experience for you the user.

Although this greatly enhances the ability of JIT it will never be perfect. So as always this is built to be smooth, quick and stable at stock and OC speeds for most hopefully JIT will be the added goodness.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Rivas123:
Can't wait. You're the man!

And by the way it was the theme that was messing things up, I have such bad luck with themes.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chromiumleaf:
Sure. Perf lock Zenkernel so I boot at stock speed. Then setcpu 2.01 installed with Perflock disabler activated and 'Set on boot' checked. I use 245mhz min and 710 mhz max as the regular. Then I only have one profile enabled: Screen Off, set at 245 mhz min and 480mhz max, 90 percent priority.

It's what I've found works best for me, but since all our phones are slightly different you may find that other settings will work better for you. Trial and error basically :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bodyshop:
Funny thing my tethering isn't working any more. I have SU 2.2.2 it was working, but now I can't get internet access when I connect. Should I try SU 2.3.4 or revert back to 2.1. Also do I just flash over the existing SU & wipe dalvik cache?

Thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bodyshop:
I see swapped iS having the same issue I am.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
Yes try to update the Su and see if that helps

[Hero CDMA Android Development] SammyM00782:
I think you're right because I'm running Fresh and I see the same market update. I wish there was a SenseUI Froyo.....I kinda like it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Rivas123:
Any one can tell me what themes work with this ROM?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] c00ller:
Almost any theme that is designed for a Sense UI-based ROM (including Fresh 2.1.2 and above) should work. If you're not sure, nandroid before trying any theme.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Rivas123:
But Everytime i flash a theme sense based i cant make any calls and the phone slows down to a crawl. Its depressing lol.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chromiumleaf:
Most themes that say they are for use on Fresh's framework WON'T work.

Most themes that say they are for use on DamageControl framework WILL work.

That's kinda been the general 'rule of thumb' I've discovered in applying themes to this ROM over the past few weeks. There are exceptions to both 'rules' of course.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tailsthecat3:
in regards to the .6 deodexed version by nfinite, has anyone been able to flash vanilla taskbars and vanilla lockscreens to it?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] c00ller:
I have flashed a vanilla lockscreen to it
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chromiumleaf:
The Oreo theme in my signature has the vanilla taskbar...but it also mods the Rosie and some of the menu and highlight colors too, so it might change more than what you are wanting.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] leo662:
After jacking around with several different ROM's (Fresh, Damage Control, etc) and various tweaks, I think I've settled on nfinite's stock one here. Just got it running the basic Sense UI, no themes or other tweaks to speak of...enjoying something that just plain works as I no longer have much time to tinker plus I tend to push things out to my wife's Hero & when **** breaks I really hear about it. Think I finally have everything set up perfect as, for the past several days have not really had any slow downs or hang ups. Everything is running along at a very nice clip...at least as good as 6-700mhz in CPU power can provide.

Currently running as such:

ROM: Sprint 2.27.651.6 STOCK ODEX w/A2SD 2.7.5_pf4a

KERNEL: ZenKernel-HTC-08122010 no perf lock

JIT: disabled (mine is one of the Hero's that just doesn't play well with JIT)

SETCPU: 691 max, 245 min, on demand, set on boot

RADIO: 2.42.01.04.27

PRL: 60667

The one minor issue I have is, with (what I'm guessing are) higher memory apps such as Internet, sometimes the camera, etc, when I exit the app & head back to the home screen the Sense UI has to reload all over again which takes quite a bit of time. I do not use any aftermarket task killers, with the possible exception of Quick System Info. To my knowledge, QSI doesn't generally just kill tasks unless you specifically go in & ask it to. That being said, I have Sense set to "ignore" to be safe & it still ends up getting killed. I don't really notice much of a pattern and it's difficult to recreate the issue (i.e. I can surf and not have the problem, and go back in 5 minutes later and have Sense reloading all the time). Guessing there's some sort of memory management in the ROM that's killing it for me. I would attribute this to either the ROM or the Kernel, but was getting the same type of issue with "normal" 691 kernel included with the ROM. Is there a way for me on the user end to tweak this to at least whitelist Sense so it doesn't take so long to reload everytime? Just an FYI, I did wipe completely prior to install & just tried a dalvik wipe in case it would do any good.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tailsthecat3:
also, im currently running the odex version so i dont think thatll work for me until(if)i try the deodex version.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chromiumleaf:
Yeah you won't find very many themes or mods out there for the odex version. There are a couple if you search hard enough, but almost everything themed works in deodex only.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Rivas123:
And boy did I have to look. Finally got a theme to work with no flaws. But i keep forgettin the name of it and its dev. Ill post it when I find it again.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tailsthecat3:
cool, ill check it out.

i like the stock. id like it better if i could have vanilla task bar, vanilla lock screen.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chromiumleaf:
@leo662: What other apps, programs, etc do you have installed? Have you removed any of the Sprint "bloatware" apps, like AmazonMP3, Sprint Nascar, etc.? Sometimes those things do things in the background that can take up some memory....you might see some improvements by removing some of those you don't need/use.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] latepenguin:
Hey nfinitefx45,

First of all just wanna say big ups on the rom!

I was wondering if you can drop a "lite" version like you did for zen.

Would appreciate it!

Anyways keep up the great work!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] leo662:
Yeah, I suppose that could be it, but I don't really see anything suspicious (crapware or otherwise) running in the background...at least when checking things out with QSI. To be honest, for whatever reason, I haven't noticed it happening in the past couple of days in spite of heavy web/media usage. Maybe it was self correcting or a semi-isolated thing.

The way it acts is almost as if some sort of memory tweak in the ROM itself is killing off Sense (granted only when memory gets low enough) and maybe the settings need a tweak to kill of something else that is "non-essential" rather than my home launcher.

*shrug*

Given that it's been intermittent at best, I'll wait for the next version & work from there before doing anything major.
