I will post an odex version also, that is not a problem and you can still use A2SD with that also. I was doing that while working on this rom.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chromiumleaf:
There is an entire "Themes and Apps" forum on this Hero board: http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=644

And this 2.1 Catalog post in that forum has plenty of themed flashable zips and other .apk's for you to try. Not sure how many of them will work for this particular ROM, but I bet many of them will since they are almost all based on Android 2.1.

Try some of them out. Always nandroid backup first though so you can go back if you don't like what they do.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
Posted on the 1st thread, Hope you enjoy!!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chromiumleaf:
After briefly browsing the official Android Market Support forum, I found this workaround posted there. Don't know if it will work for you or not, just trying to offer something to help.

My understanding is that no app can be purchased or downloaded to a computer -- has to be through the phone. The only way you might could do that is if the actual creator/publisher of the app made it directly available on their own third-party web space.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whiteonline:
You rock!!!

Thank you so much.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mtnchkn:
Thanks for the clarification, I just wasn't sure if it would be something that simple. Not that big of a deal about it not cooperating with my chipset, and sometime in the future will try the method nfinite recommends of just wiping everything then applying all.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mtnchkn:
nfinitefx45, using this method (just fresh flash of all at same time), how long should I wait for that initial boot? 10 minutes, 20 minutes? thanks again for all the support, and also for getting Teeter to work. My fiance really digs that game.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] c00ller:
Ideas for ROM name: nfinite ROM, nfx ROM, nfx45 ROM
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
it should only take about 5-10 minutes. did you wipe before flashing?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mtnchkn:
Before, I wiped Dalvik only before flashing. I am waiting till I have some more time to flash everything then reload all like nfinitefx45 suggested. Also, need to back up some SMS too.

Thanks for the time estimate.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Outer Marker:
I'm wanting to try this odexed version too since I'm not into themes either. However, I may want to try apps2sd in the future. I notice Darktremor just posted a Apps2SD 2.7.5 thread that looked interesting. I assume I can use 2.7.5 with an odexed ROM?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
Yes you should have no problems with.2.7.5. I will be testing it this evening for verification.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cephraim:
What are the pros/cons of the odexed version vs. the deoxed?

If I switch to the odexed, will I need to flash a different OC kernel? Am currently running the Honeybun 710 OC kernel...

Thanks,

Eph
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
well it should be a touch fast on boots especially as the OS doesnt have to build the odex files.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] afma_afma:
Great ROm nfinitefx45....flashed it 2 days ago...

excellent battery...have been running for the last 16 hours, still have 55% battery life left....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cephraim:
Any other pros?

Any cons?

Also, will I need to reflash a different OC kernel?

Thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whiteonline:
The only "con" of the odexed version is you cannot apply themes. The "pro" is the space needed on internal storage is less than the deodex.

As far as kernel, I am using DCandFresh710 kernel without issue (I assume the Honeybun will work as well).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Outer Marker:
Just noticed that when taking a picture with the camera, the shutter sound doesn't play even if the option for shutter sound is enabled. Anybody else seeing this? Not a big deal, but the camera is so laggy that it sometimes helps to know audibly when the image is being captured.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whiteonline:
No lag or silent shutter here.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chromiumleaf:
Yes you're correct -- the Honeybun kernel does work because I'm using it without a hitch :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whiteonline:
Do you know the difference between the two? I've read up on it but cannot find anything...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] craig198:
exact same problem as mine. very slow in taking pictures and no shutter sound. weird isnt it? takes a whole 5-6 seconds to snap a shot. I have to keep the camera still even after it freezes frame as its not done taking photo and will blur if I move.

anyone care to test out my top gear video on their phone. it wont play on mine even with 48khz audio. http://www.mediafire.com/?gkmjjmmnuzm
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cephraim:
I don't have shutter sound either.

(running 710 Honeybun OC kernel)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cephraim:
So, is the advantage of having more internal storage speed?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
ok everyone there is and update.zip that should correct the camera, mutimedia, and a few other glitches I have found.

Everyone should update, it will not harm anything.......

Enjoy!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
we dont have to wipe data?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
No, there is no need to wipe anything, just flash and reboot
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
sweet! thanks for all your work man. this really is the fastest rom i have used. also.... if i just replace the updates with the stuff in the main rom, you think that'd be ok? no harm?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] guitardoc64:
Thanks for all the hard work and updates!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] craig198:
i just installed the oxed rom you have and camera works fine now.(shutter sound)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
yes I posted and update.zip on the main page to fix that and other things for the deodex version
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Mogul80126:
I was able to resolve this issue. I was aware that I needed a second account (gmail.com) for paid apps in the Android Market. The problem was that my Hero was not allowing me to add the second gmail account. Apparently, everyone is suggesting that you need to do a factory reset and then enter the accounts again. Not wanting to do that, I found this little nugget of information buried deep within another post.

I deleted this settings file and did a reboot. I was able to then enter the secondary gmail account and move on.

/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
[Hero CDMA Android Development] c00ller:
So I'm confused now. How exactly is this different from beezy420's HoneyBun ROM? Both this and that are based off the original RUU.

Both sound great, I just want to know how to choose.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] raz699:
Best rom yet

I would really like the Vanilla Lock on this, anyone figured that out yet? A step by step would be nice if there is a fix or workaround.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DGreen1:
Great job. This is pretty sweet.

I have one question tho.

I tried to see if a2sd was working and everything looks like its working and I have a total of 158 mb free, but once I start installing apps the internal space seems to be going down.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cbarth3:
Unless you have the dalvik-cache also stored on your sd card you will see your internal memory go down slightly.

raz699 Have you tried using metamorph?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] core24:
Hey, I just installed this ROM for the first time over the top of my rooted HTC Hero with 2.1 stock on it and now /system/bin/su is no longer there; and /system/xbin/su gives a segmentation fault when trying to execute it...

Anyone else have this issue? Is there a fix for it to restore my rootness so I can try the wifi tether, etc.?

I installed this ROM: HeroCSprint_2276516A2SD-odex

which still has a2sd version 2.7 update 2, BTW (not 3). But I don't care about putting my cache on sd so no big deal.

UPDATE: I compared the file copied to /system/xbin/su with the one in the zip file and they were not the same. I had a couple other files get corrupted too somehow (like the htc camera apk being zero bytes) during the install. Copying this file over and chmod 4755 /system/xbin/su fixed it!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cephraim:
Two of my apss, craigsphone and phoneflix, had updates available in the market this morning that enabled "installing on SD card".

Since I enabled a2sd through this ROM, can I just update these apps through the market and have them move to the sd card? Or, should I uninstall and reinstall?

Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
You should just be able to update as the app is already in SD due to a2sd. I don't think you would have a problem either way you would do it anyways.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] craig198:
anyone have problems getting music on their device? I will transfer the files over using disk drive and when I go to play it all the songs are messed up. It will only play one song no matter which one I select.

seems like using wmp11 sync is working better than just drag n drop.

and no its not working better. It seems the memory card gets damaged really easy and it requires a format anytime I try to put some more music on there.

this wouldnt be a problem caused by a2sd would it?

my next step is to flash stock rom on(unroot) as this is annoying.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chromiumleaf:
Nope, I sure don't. And even if we could find a post that detailed some of the two kernel differences, I don't know enough about coding to be able to understand what it might say anyway, lol.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chromiumleaf:
Good, glad you got that worked out. Thanks for sharing with us.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chromiumleaf:
Could you be a little more specific as to what exactly this fixes? I haven't really been noticing any problems and can't find anything to complain about, so I'm just wondering if it's even necessary for me to flash?

Can we flash over top without wiping even if we're running this ROM w/ an OC kernel?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cephraim:
For those switching to the Odexed version, be aware that you will need to re-flash the OC kernel, if you still want it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Outer Marker:
Also be aware that the odexed version comes with the older superuser app. The icon for this looks like a Black Ops scuba diver weilding an M-16 assault rifle. For me, this su app didn't work right.

The deodexed version has the nice, working su app that is just a simple blue orb with the # symbol in the middle. It works right, allowing OC and wireless tether adjustments.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] c00ller:
Could you please provide a link to the newer su app?

This is the newest one I know of, and it does have the Black Ops diver icon like you mentioned, not the blue orb.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=682828
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mozman:
Thanks for the link to the Superuser 2.1, but does anyone know which is the appropriate file to flash onto our heroes?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mtnchkn:
this was mentioned before, and was also updated on the wiki.

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=nfinitefx45_Sprint_2.27.651.6_STOCK

hope this answers your question.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] JB in AZ:
nfinitefx45...(or anyone with any ideas!) I wonder when you have a minute if you could look into an issue I am having with this rom. I use the BofA app. Every time I use it, it asks for my security info again, even tho I have told it to save before. It always forgets the device. There is one rom that it works properly with, ZenEXP0.9.6OC. Both show the broswser as webkit3.1, all settigs that I can see in the browser are the same...any ideas?

Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mozman:
My bad. I actually found it and was about to delete my post.

Was wondering, I was looking for this wiki by going to xda's main wiki page and then clicked on the CDMA Hero phone image, but there was no link for this. Any reason why it's no posted in the CDMA Hero wiki page?

Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mozman:
After all this OC talk and some improvements to battery life, I'm finally looking to dig into it. But getting confused with all the different kernels being discussed. So far I counted 3 different kernels discussed (turns out people reference the same OC kernel, but with different names):

1. Darchkernelv3 (aka Toast's 2.6.29 OC kernel)

2. HuneybunOCv3

3. DCandFresh710

I cannot remember where, nor couldn't find it, but someone mentioned that (I believe the DCFresh version) will scale down the CPU clock speed when not needed to save battery life. Would anyone know if the other OC kernels work the same way or if they are held at the OC'ed speed of 710 or 768 MHz. Tried to do some quick searches across the forums, but didn't have luck on that topic. Thanks in advance.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] c00ller:
Actually I think they're all the same kernel LOL (found here), which comes in 2 varieties: one for HoneyBun ROMs, and one for DamageControl or Fresh based ROMs. I believe #3 is just the latter modified with automatic default OC at 710. I really think people should stop giving them so many names and call it DarchKernel like it was named in the original post...

With any OC kernel (including this one(s) you mentioned), you can set profiles with a 3rd party application, which automatically changes the CPU speeds to whatever you set while it's on, charging, and screen off. You can use SetCPU or OC Widget. I've never used OC Widget but SetCPU is pretty amazing. And it's free for xda members, or you can get it from the market if you want to donate. If you don't use either of these apps, it will use whatever speeds and profiles the developer of the kernel set it to, and you don't have to do anything.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jazzneel:
how exactly do you push that file through adb? I'm not very good with this kinda stuff.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tjscreations:
I copied the OMADM.adk file to my tools directory in the android-sdk folder and then ran

adb remount
adb push OMADM.apk /system/app/OMADM.apk
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jeb0921:
Yep, mine is at 60666 also since I updated:)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smstutler:
Is there a kernel out that will let us overclock this ? If so which one would we flash ?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
this has been tested by myself and works great, best performance was with the 710

[Hero CDMA Android Development] stricklerjosh:
Can you run this without Apps2SD?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
yes if you dont have your sdcard setup for apps2sd then it will install normal
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stricklerjosh:
I did have it set up with Aloysious, but then I kept getting random reboots so I wiped everything and I am running Fresh 2.1.1. Just interested to see a more stock look and see if it helps my battery. Do I need to do anything else to make sure I am not running Apps2Sd other than wiping everything?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
yes you need to format your sdcard to all fat32, just when setting the card up set all the options like swap to 0 then it will wipe the extra partions out and you will have all fat32.

Remember to BACKUP your sdcard first!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smstutler:
Cool Cool. Will give it an install tomorrow see how it runs.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ldc2335:
thanks a ton for this rom, i did the prl fix and all is well, everything is running great. I was hoping damage was gonna do something like this but they promised and then bailed on us. Your the man.

Maybe you could put out an update to include friendstream as well, im trying to push it now, not having much luck though.

" Nfinite Rom " has a nice ring to it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] troyboytn:
Very nice rom, especially since nothing was left out (good move). Toasts OC-89 kenel installed and worked perfectly as did some of Flipz and JsChiSurf's mods. Running very smooth and FAST. Definitely a winner rom here. Great work!

btw, anyone who wants to use Metamorph.....you will have to move su from xbin to bin in system.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
Thank you to everyone for the comments , I am glad to see that this is something that many wanted.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] regaw_leinad:
Nice work man :) Did you deodex the rom yourself?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Maikock:
if i dont have an ext for the a2sd, then itll be like normal right? i dont have to have that to run this? i know its a newb Q but im just making sure so i dont try it and waste my time...

so the OC kernel works for this? is there a certain one that has to be used or the damaged one is fine?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
Yes, It took me probably 20+ times to get it to work. lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
This will run fine without the ext, it will just install normal then, I have tested all the damage OC's 537, 710, and 768 have all worked fine.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] troyboytn:
The only toast kernel that worked for me was the one extracted directly from FreshToast.....just goes to show how different our chipsets really are. Anyway, its still working great and................NO fc on incoming calls since installing (several calls recieved thus far)! This is the best news of all.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] HandsomeOne:
New Rom

nfinitefx45;

Great work thank you very much,got it up and running with DC710 !!!!

TNX again
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
Yes you are correct, just between my wifes phone and mine there is several differences, and we bought them atthe same time. this is why I test everything on both. Sorry to hear that the OCkernels didnt work, but glad to hear that everything else is running fine.

No Problem, just happy that this ended up being needed. I was working on this for a week and figured a few might be interested, but there has been much more response then I would have imagined.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whiteonline:
No need for SetCPU or other apps. Both DC/Fresh and Honeybun autoscale from 245MHz-710MHz.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] c00ller:
I implied that in my last sentence ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cephraim:
I just loaded SetCPU.

Very nice.

Any reason why we wouldn't want to lower the min for screen-off to 122 or lower?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] craig198:
any good microsd card checkers out there? Im beginning to think I purchased a faulty unit.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] JB in AZ:
Has anybody noticed that Quick Boot doesn't always work properly with this Rom? When I select 'recovery" often it will just reboot. The traditional way of holding Home and power works fine, however. Anyone else?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] c00ller:
In my experience, you can set the min to however low you want. It might take longer for your cpu speed to ramp up before it gets responsive enough, though. The only trouble I had with setting the speed too low was for the Screen off profile. My mentality was, "if the phone is idle, I'll just set both the min and max to as low as possible because there's no point in running it higher than necessary." But it is actually necessary to set the max for the screen off profile high enough, or else you won't be able to answer calls right away; the cpu speed will be too low to process the call and your swipe trying to answer it in time.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] craig198:
yep it was bad microsd card. used h2testw program and it reported it as defective. I was pulling my hair out trying to get video working no wonder why it wouldnt play.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] n01un0:
I was having zero issues with this ROM for the last week or so and then all of a sudden the camera kept locking up. I came back to the forum to ask about it and sure enough, nfinite already posted an update........NICE! I am downloading now and getting ready to apply. You are the man nfinite!

Has anyone flashed the new(er) radio from flipz along with this rom? I am just trying to decide if it is worthwhile. Any improvements on battery or reception using the new radio?

I have tried so many roms trying to find something that worked flawlessly, I forget if I ever tried that radio. I believe I did when I tried fresh 2.1.2 and if I recall, I personally didn't notice any better reception or battery.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oldjackbob:
BIG noob question...How do I install this ROM? I'm rooted on stock 2.1 and want to install this ROM, but I don't know anything about installing a ROM, and I don't even know where to look for any instructions.

Can someone please help me?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] c00ller:
The general instructions for flashing any new ROM:

0) Place Rom zip in the sdcard root directory

1) Make any necessary backups (Titanium Backup is great and free for rooted phones), backup your SD card data to your computer if you'll be using Apps2SD

2) Turn phone off

3) Hold Home button while pressing power on, you'll get to the recovery screen

4) Go to Backup/Restore

5) Create nandroid backup (takes a few minutes)

6) Go back to main menu

7) (Optional, if you want to set up Apps2SD) Taken from Apps2SD OP

c. In Android System Recovery, select Partition sdcard

d. In the Partition sdcard menu, select Partition SD

e. Follow the instructions on the phone to partition your SD card. You can optionally set a swap file while you are partitioning your SD card.

f. In the Partition sdcard menu, select SD:ext2 to ext3. Follow the instructions on the screen.

g. Only perform this step if you want ext4 and your ROM supports it: In the partition sdcard menu, select SD:ext3 to ext4. Follow the instructions on the sdcard. [we ignore this step]

h. Press the back button on the phone to go back to the main menu.

8) Wipe data

9) Go back to main menu

10) Flash update from zip

11) Find the Rom zip, it will install

12) Go back to main menu

13) Reboot

I'm actually not sure if you can use Titanium Backup to restore apps after using Apps2SD for the first time.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] spkldbrd:
LOVE THIS ROM! but...

anyone else get a FC on 'PEOPLE' when editing contacts?

all updates patches

installed OC Kernel

running OC WIDGET

NOTE: need to add some step.by.step guides to this install regarding A2SD and the need to format/partition SD after making a backup....searched and found answers, but a guide on the WIKI would be nice :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oldjackbob:
Thanks, c00ller!

Question, do I really need to do Step 7, "Wipe data", even for a basically stock ROM like this one? I was hoping to avoid a complete wipe.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] c00ller:
I edited my previous post to include A2SD instructions. I've asked several times about the exact details of configuring A2SD for the first time, but everyone always said "it just works."

I would also like an expert to write the instructions this ROM's wiki.

I'm actually not entirely sure. Someone else will have to answer that
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oldjackbob:
Thanks again, c00ller...lots of good stuff in all your posts!

I'm gonna go ahead and install the a2sd, even though that wasn't originally my plan, and also the DarchHoneyOC kernel, so the wipe needs doing anyway. ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ricoishere2:
I'm in the same boat, noob in training. Rooted, flashed this rom, flashed the Apps2sd update, partitioned my sd card (8GB card, 32mb swap, 1024mb ext2).

Now what?

Can anyone give an explanation on how to use apps2sd after installed?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chromiumleaf:
YES, ALWAYS do a complete wipe (data and dalvik) before flashing any new ROM. Not doing this often leads to a bootloop, so it's better to wipe just to be safe.
