Assuming it's possible at all what kind of ETA are we looking at for Gingerbread? When Froyo was let loose how long before the dev community had that up and running? How long before it was worked into Cyanogen? Are we talking days? weeks? months? Who knows?

(And just to make it clear this isn't any sort of "What is taking you lazy f$%kheads so long to get me Gingerbread?!?" type of questioning. Even if it's possible, I'm not sure the hero can take advantage of a lot of the additions anyway, and these nightlies are fantastic as is. The programmer in me is mainly just curious what a reasonable estimate is. Is it relatively simple to work a new release in? Does it mean massive rewrites?)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] CrashV2010:
They had froyo up and running, not fully, but it was on a phone in less then 12 hrs... No joke... I was watching everything on the internet.... That day..

[Hero CDMA Android Development] CrashV2010:
The offical 6.1 is out just download that......the official 6.1 release

Woah when did that happen? It's not even on the mirror.

Btw it's also now listed on the CyanogenMod Latest Version page

Isn't it downgrading if I flash that, isn't nightly build #157 more updated than 6.1 stable, just curious will I be losing any features I currently have on Nightly 156, if i flash to stable 6.1 or am i wrong. thanks for the quick response.

Thanks Phillyman
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rcml01:
So whats better Nightly #157 or 6.1 Stable ?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] CrashV2010:
Whats better or whats newer... The stable just came out this morning... And the nightlies aren't the newest because of this... So, flash and find out yourself, because as for the saying, " No two women are alike, and No two Heroes are alike."
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rcml01:
lol nice , alright i will give the Stable 6.1 a try then if u say so. Thanks for the reply

I was just on that damn site before I went to bed last night. Don't those guys sleep? : p
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fifedogg:
Just about to flash the new stable :)

Just curious do you think they will ever be able to fix the problem that makes the screen dim sometimes when you first turn it on? You have to turn the screen off and back on to fix it. I'm sure it happens to other people as well.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dkratter14:
That happens to me frequently.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vita10gy:
When 6.0 broke I had been running the RC then nightlies up until then and the official release was by far the worst, and others felt the same way.*

I'll stick with the official 6.1 for a bit and see if that continues.

It's cool, but in a way not that big of a deal. There was no huge leap toward doneness from yesterdays nightly, and tomorrows nightly will be the official release, plus fixes additions, so....I dunno.

I think usually these are a big deal, but the devs have done such a great job on reviewing and whatnot that where on other projects relying on a nightly would be a disaster, the nightlies here have been very reliable and stable.

*I suppose I should add that "by far the worst" I mean it was laggier etc, than the previous nighlies. It was still the best rom out there. The laggiest CM6 build is faster than any sense ROM.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vita10gy:
Ditto here.

Dumb question about the "stock_black" theme. How do you change the text color of the notifications list? I'm seeing black text on a black background.

I tried setting all options to white and everything looks great except for this last piece. Any suggestions?

Here's where I looked.

Settings --> Cyan Settings --> Notifications Colors

TIA

I'm having problems d/l 6.1 either through my phone, or on the PC I get a corrupt zip file.

I tried also d/l the last two nightlies via ROM Manager and got the same thing.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong? I never had this problem before and have d/l ROM's at least a dozen times.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pgreptom:
K, I might be stupid, but when the phone is on Silent I never get text notifications.. not from Messaging, or Handcent.

I know the purpose of Silent is for the phone to be silent, and I use at work - but I never even see when people text.. I'm often times 3-6 hours late texting back because I never know I got one.

Anyone have a fix ?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vita10gy:
I'm not sure there's a wrong way to click a link and hit save ;)

I was the one that "broke the story" about it being released this morn and it still took FOREVER to get the file. It's possible the server is just getting worked too hard.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thatdudepoops:
I went to do a nandroid before I flash 6.1 (ra-amon) and it tells me to run mobile.sh via adb! What is that about, never seen that before?

Make sure you have enough room on your card for a new nand. That's usually the problem for me.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vita10gy:
It can mean a few things.

Don't do the +ext nand, and make sure you actually have space on your SD card for it.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] rundmcarlson:
not super relevant....but I was playing around with my old ipod touch, and I never realized how bad the app store was. It seems impossible to find anything useful in there and all the "top apps" are just stupid games lol. Glad I went with android
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vita10gy:
Huh, really? I've always heard the App Store vs Market was the one thing apple had solidly in their corner. (Though the market has undergone a number of touchups.)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
You can also target that complaint to the Android market though, except replace games with "Family Guy/American Dad/etc soundboards". ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rundmcarlson:
apple definitely has more apps but android's organization is thousands of times better imo
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
+1 to that, Android all the way :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dirkyd3rk:
Android market is ok I mean there's maybe only like 10 apps I use anyways. The rest are soundboards and fart apps lol. Also maybe a few games. It was also the same when I had a dumb iPhone I only used a few apps. Android rules the world.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
The Android market organization really isn't all that great, it's a mess if you are just causally browsing through (same with the App Store in my limited dealings with it). Then again, I just use App Brain/Fast Web Installer, so it doesn't really matter to me, ha.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Yea, and 2.3 addresses market stuff too :p :D

There were no changes whatsoever for anyone since yesterday. So 158 is the same as 157, making 6.1 stable still the latest.

umm...so now that "stable" is out what does that mean exactly? I'm running nightly 155...should I switch to "stable" or what?

6.1 Stable is newer than 155. Not much has changed from 155 to the stable. I would switch though. Just my opinion. :)

Since a lot of us will stay on the stable for some time. Is there anyway you can make the circle battery mod for us? I loved the green\white one you made a while back. I totally miss it :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Agreed. But, even when I do flash a new ROM (nightly or stable), I put my theme elements into the new framework, remove some CM apps I think are dumb before I even flash it. That way with each new flash the settings, apps, colors, theme, and mods remain, and saves a ton of time :)

My free tip of the day ;)

Nope...Already tried and it gets stuck in a boot loop :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aven_soulgazer:
Well I just run cm as is. Only takes a couple of minutes to download then a couple to flash. Since I don't wipe I don't have to redo any settings or apps.

I guess if you wipe every time or had to keep remaking things like the battery mod I can see it being a pita but not doing it like I do.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] creata.physics:
Does anybody have confirmation that 158 is older than the stable? If 158 was released after the stable, and built from it, I have no reason to switch.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
They are basically the same.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] creata.physics:
Then there's no real reason to do an update, thank you for preventing me from wasting my time.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dkratter14:
Still none as of tonight's upcoming build 159 either. There are no changes for the Hero since the stable release.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vrajpal:
ive noticed that my phone gets noticbly slower after a couple hours use, is there a way to counteract this? im using the stable vm heap to 24, no jit, no other tweaks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aven_soulgazer:
Is your auto rotate turned on or off?

I had to start running autokiller some time back to keep my phone from coming to a crawl after a couple of hours
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vrajpal:
auto rotate is off should it be on?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aiwetir:
yeah turn it on in regular settings then uncheck all the boxes in cm settings. it's a known bug.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vrajpal:
Wow that did the trick this thing flies now, thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Luckydog666:
Do you mean the check boxes for 90, 180 and 270 in cm settings?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aven_soulgazer:
Yes those, but only if you want auto rotate off.

YouTube is the only time I want autorotate on. I hate having to go back into settings to change back and forth for one app
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Luckydog666:
I sometimes think it would be nice if there was a autorotate delay setting. The home screen is especially touchy sometimes.

I have a couple MMS messages that won't download. I click the download button, it says Downloading but never changes after that. I've tried Handcent and the stock Messaging app. Just flashed 6.1 stable and still have the same issue. Suggestions?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] spanglmd:
After flashing the Stable release, my phone is extremely sluggish, almost unusable. Any ideas what is wrong with it? I would really like to avoid wiping and starting over, but it seems like its the only option I have.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] asoong:
My instance has been zipping right along. I flashed over RC1 (and noticed it was really slow and none of my apps worked), wiped dalvik, then flashed deca's #43 kernel. Everything's pretty smooth after all that.

One minor hiccup though, my alarms were deleted. It might have been because I wiped dalvik but I've done that before and don't remember loosing my alarms.

[edit] I'm assuming you turned off auto-rotate turned auto-rotate ON and disabled any direction you don't want by unchecking the degree(s) in CM settings. And turned off JIT and bumped your VM as people suggested the last few pages.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aiwetir:
My phone slows way down when the battery is low, maybe plug it in and see if that helps. I think the kernel has this built in.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] spanglmd:
I was using that same kernal (came from RC1) and was experiencing the slowdowns after flashing stable. I just flashed a different Kernal (KERNAL_UPDATE_02DEC_COMMITS.zip) that I found in the other CM6.1 thread and am not experiencing any of the slowdowns, yet, which is weird. I reflashed deca's quite a few times too with dalvik wipes.

I would attribute it to that, but it was happening with full battery (or close to).

Seems deca's kernal is no longer happy with my configuration.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vita10gy:
It's probably what you meant, but just to help any confusion you need to turn auto rotate ON. IF you want to disable auto rotate do so with the angle settings in the CM options.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] asoong:
Oops! You're absolutely correct! I'll try changing my original post to avoid confusion. Thanks!

Some mms file types wont download to our phones. I've had problems with audio mms before like that. Videos might have a problem to. Depends on the phone sending them.

160 is out, but the only change that might relate to us is a WiFi MMS fix. I don't know what the htc-kernel-msm7x30 is or if that applies to us, but that's it.

Seems like, for the most part, there isn't much work being done anymore.

I wonder if, now that Android 2.3 is out, maybe they're just going to wait for that before continuing.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
To fix the light issue, install CMParts.apk and change them all to green in your CM settings. That settings option will not stick after a reboot, but allows you to fix it so they will work. Let me know if you need the apk or cant find it and I will link it for you :)

[Hero CDMA Android Development] Vrekk:
CM6? zero. Cm7 on the other hand :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fifedogg:
I'll give that a try. I'm curious why that cant just implement that in the rom...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
It actually was in earlier CM ROMS... CMParts.apk is actually still in the ROM, it's the settings, but the light option was removed because the Hero only supports green and orange.

But yeah, just install CMParts, go to your CM Settings, and I believe it is the User Interface option...You are looking for the light settings. Just open each one, change to green and you are good to go. Like I said, once you reboot that option will be gone, but this will get the lights back working again ;)

Let me know if you need more info on how to do it.:)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mattcoz:
Maybe someone can help me here. I'm unable to receive text messages anymore when I'm running CM. I can change to a Sense rom and they work, I tried the aospMod Gingerbread rom and they work, but whenever I use CM they don't. They worked before I upgraded from RC1 to a nightly, but they don't even work after restoring RC1. Others have mentioned flashing Sense, receiving a text, then restoring CM, but that doesn't work for me. I've tried different radios and that doesn't seem to affect it. I'm not sure what to try next. :confused:

edit: Ok, maybe I'm wrong here. When I did a wipe/flash of 156 they did not work, but after a wipe/flash of the final 6.1 they do work. Could there be something wrong with my settings?

edit: Oh god I feel stupid now. I had a low disk warning that was stopping text messages from downloading. Not sure why I was having problems before after a wipe though. So yeah, disregard this post, heh.

I was wondering if you can show me where I can download CMParts.apk? I searched, but only your thread came up.... Thanks!

Link is in my sig. But This one will only stick until you reboot and will just allow you to turn on your LED notifications if they aren't working. It's essentially a temporary downgrade :)

The LED Option is found here: menu - settings - cm settings - user interface - LED Notifications

Turn them all to green, reboot and they will all work (and the option to change them again is gone)
