Id have to agree...this 8/22 nightly is phenomenal. The screen transition is smooth and the response time is very impressive when navigating through my phone. I didn't even use the uncapped kernel or anything. Leaving it as is. Didn't even want to flash the black mod thats how impressed I was....:D

I havent tried the GPS, but everything else is great, no issues with gmail. I do have some slow 3g download issues but I highly doubt that has anything to do with the ROM.

Thanks agian Darch for this great ROM. Loving it. :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mdsj:
I havent had any gps issues with any of th nightlies. :confused:

Remember you have to have 3g connectivity for the gps to fully work properly. Otherwise the gps signal will keep flashing and won't lock onto your position.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Visionikz03:
Where's that link by chance? The one on the first page of this thread is dated 8/14...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mquinn24:
8/23 is up
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mdsj:
Alright the GPS does seem glitchy on 8/22, but 8/23 is up now so ill see if that fixes it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dmm5157:
So any feedback on 8/23?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mdsj:
Not at home, won't be able to give an update until tomorrow.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
So far pretty smooth. Seems just as stable as 8/22, but I haven't tested the GPS yet. I'll know by tomorrow if it's as good on battery.

Edit: kinda upset it doesn't have the most recent version of adw launcher. Not a huge deal, just a minor inconvenience.

Froyo Hero to the rescue
[Hero CDMA Android Development] colinjreed:
noobish question, i've been flashing the new nightlies each night, and i flashed the uncapped kernel and saw a great improvement. I was wondering if i need to reflash the uncapped kernel after flashing the new nightly build or not. Thanks all!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
Yes, after each nightly you will need to reflash the kernel.

Froyo Hero to the rescue
[Hero CDMA Android Development] colinjreed:
thanks! I understand just enough of this stuff to not mess everything up horribly
[Hero CDMA Android Development] raz699:
Running 8/22 and love it. Camera still locks the phone if you take a pic then click the preview window then try to go back to camera, small price to pay for the smoothest rom to date though. Just take the pic and move on and hope it came out well.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
Still running RC1, but was wondering what the general consensus is regarding the 8/22 and 8/23 nightlies. Are one of them worth flashing to?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mdsj:
I am getting ready to flash 8/23 since on 8/22 the gps was glitchy. So hoping that the 8/23 nightlie has that under control. If it does I am going to flash the uncapped kernel and leave it alone until RC2 or the actual release. But the nightlies definitely get better and better.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
Just tested the GPS, worked swimmingly for me, Navigation and all.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
It's kosher to flash a nightly over RC, right?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thatdudepoops:
Yes u can flash nightlys over rc1, if u want
[Hero CDMA Android Development] feefeeboomboom:
So flashed 08/23.. very smooth so far. Have had a few fc on the new SU. Um on restarts sometimes it dose boot twice.. Not the HTC screen but restarts the boot screen then loads. Idk seems a little buggy but still awesome and fast. My favorite so far. Running stock everything. Haven't had the compass issue with this build either.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
Wiped, flashed the rom, newest stable kernel and battery tweak. So far so good, seems even zippier than the RC1 it seems.. Did have a FC the first time SU and Titanium Backup were opened, but other than that, no problems.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chefthomas99:
Very worth it! I consider 8/22 as RC2 - Its that good

Sent from my FrOyo HeRo!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Visionikz03:
I agree with everyone's general consensus that either the 8/22 or 8/23 nightly should've been the RC1 or at least declare it the RC2. The speed improvements are very noticeable. I used to be an avid user of BFS kernels cuz of their notorious speed throughout the entire android system but these newer nightly builds r perfect without BFS which solves the big problem with us GPS users having signal lock issues. Battery life on these newer builds is so good it doesn't even need the collin tweak assuming ur not refreshing facebook or twitter every half hour and other refreshable items to frequently. I only used 29% of my battery from 10am to 8pm with moderate texting, a bit of web browsing nd general system setting browsing. Usually ill go thru almost 50 of my battery just doing that in the past. No reason at all not to upgrade to one of the nightly builds. Nd hey if u don't like it make sure u nandroid ur existing setup nd then flash back.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Androidious:
Have you tried repairing the permissions to take care of the FC's? And/or clearing dalvik cache? That may assist some of your issues. I'm running 8/23 flawlessly with Decad3nce's Uncapped Kernel #7
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chefthomas99:
Totally agree!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mdsj:
the gps is not working properly on the 8/23 build. the signal just blinks and keeps trying to locate even with full 3g connection. Oh well I will try the 8/24 build when it comes out.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mdsj:
One quick question. Are there any issues when flashing back to a previous nightlie? Not going to a nand restore, simply just flashing a previous nightlie like when flashing a new one? I don't think that there should be but I just want to make sure.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Androidious:
You shouldn't have any issues flashing back to a previous build man. I've done it multiple times with no problems.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
What kernel are you using? GPS works fine for me.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Androidious:
I would honestly try using Decad3nce's Uncapped Kernel #7. I've been using that kernel since RC1 came out and GPS and everything is working just as it should be. Typically, the kernel can mess with u'r GPS, especially if u'r using one of the experimental kernels from Decad3nce. I'd stick with the stable kernels if I was u :)

But who knows, maybe u'r already on one. But all I know, is my GPS works just fine using the #7 kernel. Good luck to you :P
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rjj1976:
The problem is with 8/23 not 8/22. I have not installed any kernel just using 2.6.29.6-cyanogenmod ameer@darchstar #8.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mquinn24:
I just flashed the #7 kernel and my GPS is working now.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mdsj:
Thanks for the tip, Ill flash the kernel later today. Besides the gps issue, the 8/23 nightlie is ridiculously good! So if the kernel can get the gps working, I am definitely sticking with 8/23 until RC2.

And just to be sure, you recommend the #7 not #8? Why 7 and not 8?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
An interesting question ... I personally am using #8, and GPS works quite well. Plus, I improved my quadrant score about 10 with 8 compared to 7. I mean frankly, either will work fine.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rjj1976:
I was asleep on my earlier post, lol. I am on #8 now with the 822 nightly and it is working. Not sure what version was on the 823 build that I had problems with.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mdsj:
Alright, than I am going to try #8. Thanks for the help.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Androidious:
Oh, sorry, I should've divulged into that further. I prefer #7 because Decad3nce uses the Deadline scheduler in it, rather than #8 which uses the BFQ scheduler. I prefer the deadline just b/c it makes things seem to be snappier (to me that is). I haven't really given #8 a try yet, but have been meaning too. But, only reason I referred you to 7 is due to the deadline scheduler. Also, #7 has interactive governer as default, rather than the ondemand governer that you're probably used to. But again, that's just a personal choice. Either will work just fine with GPS working just fine as well. :)

Plus, these options can always be changed using any kernel, they're all included, just not set as default for each one. Anyway, #7 or #8 will do just fine though.

AppBrain - Unable to authenticate with Google

Just flashed 8/23 and am trying to log into App Brain so I can download all of my apps. However, I am unable to authenticate (bad username/password). Anybody else seeing this?

App Brain uses google for authentication and takes me to some google.com web interface.

Any thoughts or suggestions?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] raz699:
Anyone figure out sprint nfl live? Downloaded the evo version and the widget works but the app won't start.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ozzie1p:
I'm struggling with this as well. I have tried everything I can think of but cant get the app off the "Loading" screen.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] raz699:
Same here, even tried it with the sprint updater, don't know why I care so much, it sucks compared to last year.

Any apps out there that show the field and progress like the old sprint app did?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cyberdog433:
The problem is that any phone running Cyanogen IDs itself as a Nexus One and not the phone it actually is. If we can get either DarchStar or somebody to change the ID in CM6 so it IDs as a Hero (or even an EVO) I believe both the NFL & Nascar apps will then work. Its the same reason why the link via text you get by texting 'Nascar' or 'NFL' to 7777 reports that the application does not currently support your device. I've been playing with them for a while, however without the source I don't think I can alter the code that checks. - I mostly program Windows applications and don't have the experience to try and modify the Kernel or Android OS to make those changes or would try it myself.

CM6 runs great on the Hero and gives us a good performing phone, just can't get all the applications I want installed due to the ID issue. If it wasn't for that, I'd be running CM6 as my daily OS in the phone as opposed to trying for a day or two and then Nandroiding back to Fresh 2.3.3. (Which seems to be one of the better performing versions that they run on).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] xxproblemzxx:
When I was going thru the evo forums they were talking about some kind of "banner" and if they changed it back to sprint, then the football app worked. Anyone know what that banner is or if we can change ours or if we even have one

They were all running cm6 if it matters

Yes I am using my Sprint Hero to upload this. Got a problem with it?!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Androidious:
So, has anyone gotten Flash working yet with the latest CM6? (sorry if I've missed it, I just thought about this today... yes, I'm behind, LoL).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Not as far as I know... I don't even know who is working on that (if anyone) :)

Sent from my HTC Hero running froyo: take that, Sprint!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ozzie1p:
I actually figured something out. I flashed a plain old stock 2.1 rom and ran the football app. It asked to update and I let it. Got the new version up and backed it up using MyBackup. Restored CM6 and the football app and it works.

Whenever I use a2sd or try to move it to the sd card it screws it up but it's working now without either of those. It's not quite as cool as I thought it would be though.

The only reason I signed up for sprint was the NFL stuff then a month later they loose it......figures.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stricklerjosh:
I agree...got the football app as well. It is garbage.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stricklerjosh:
How is everyone liking the 8-23? Any issues so far? I was on 8-22 but had to go back to rc-1 as I couldn't solve my GPS issues.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Androidious:
8/23 is just dandy. If ur experiencing God issues, I recommend flashing one of decad3nces stable kernels. They'll fix ur GPS probs. I have no issues with the latest nightly and decas #7 kernel.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mdsj:
Thanks for the info. Will the battery life be any better or worse with the uncapped kernel? I love the battery life right now. I just flashed so I guess I will find out soon enough.

Alright doesn't seem that it fixed the gps issue. Hmmmm.... Any ideas?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] raz699:
That is grounds to cancel your contact. Probably too late now though.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PlagaDeRock:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] GrandMstrBud:
Do you have to flash this through recovery or can you just install the .apk file?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mquinn24:
8/24 is up
[Hero CDMA Android Development] raz699:
Flash through recovery. Might work the other way, can't hurt.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mdsj:
Man I said I was going to stick with 8/23 but its so tempting when a new nightlie comes out...... alright i give, time to flash.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] xII v EnFamouz 2 IIx:
8/24 Is Out xD
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
Yeah, you can also push the apk using ADB, or just install it with Astro or Root Explorer
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jasonlefever:
Ok guys, I've been following this rom a few weeks and I've flashed the older nightlies and all that..but since there's so many fixes, (thanks devs) I don't know where to look for them all, and I'm a little too busy to search for them all, so what all do I need? I'm currently downloading the 8/24 build, I don't need the 768 kernel, just the basics. Is there a sprint vvm flash around? I'll need that. Thanks for anyone's help. I'm not a little noob or anything, I just need to what some of the recent fixes are since I haven't been on in a while.

Edit: I have the YouTube HQ and market fix, also.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
Search the thread, pretty sure the Sprint VVM zip and/or apk have been posted not too long ago. Basically I'd say you just need that, whatever nightly you are going to flash, Gapps, and maybe one of the uncapped stable kernels (I know you don't want/need to overclock, they just seem to be speedier to me than the stock kernel).

Alright flashed 8/24 with the #8 uncapped kernel and GPS is not working. Going to try just flashing the 8/24 build. Of it doesn't work than ill just restore my 8/23 build with the #8 kernel as that was working fully.

However, 8/24 is lightning quick. I say that everytime but, it really gets quicker and quicker.

i have a issue.i install widgets then use it.but,when i turn off my phone and after turn on it not load widget.and appear note:"loading widget error problem" :(

any ideal??
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
Are your widgets installed on the sd card, or internally?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] duytrum444:
i install on the sd card :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
Hmm, I've read that it's generally better to have widgets in internal memory. Maybe try moving them to internal via the application manager and reboot?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aven_soulgazer:
Widgets and keyboards need to be on SD card. If you have a task killer or home switcher and restart the home program I think the Widgets will show then but not positive on that. The explanation is that home loads before SD card so reloading home after SD card is mounted should logically work
[Hero CDMA Android Development] duytrum444:
i see it on all CM6.i will try install it on internal.

:(hope it will work
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aven_soulgazer:
I don't think any kernal will fix my God issues. Good to know #7 works with GPS, I think I ran #5 or #8, I forget. Too many options not sure what they mean or do.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
Really? I've read on XDA in different threads that it's better to have widgets and apps that you need/want to be opened quickly to be installed internally. I know there's more than a few apps where the widgets disappear if installed to sd (Music Mod is one of them), thanks to a Froyo quirk or something.

Just found this through a quick Google search:

http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/install-location.html#ShouldNot
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Androidious:
The issue is that u'r widgets are installed on the SD card. Widgets should be installed via internal storage otherwise you'll get those issues that you are currently experiencing. Also, it's generally better to have them on internal storage anyway for accessibility speed and what not. I hope that helps

8-24 is working for me, but I do have one issue. At times when I launch an app such as Gmail, mail, or clock, the app is very slow to load and I get a force close. A reboot fixes the issue for awhile.

Overall I am very impressed with this rom. Its a nice addition to the Hero family.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Androidious:
Well, I just had my first random reboot with CM6 just a minute ago (8/24 nightly). Not sure what the cause of it was, I just noticed it reboot when I had it on my desk and it vibrated (upon reboot). I'm trying a complete wipe and going back to 8/22 just in case. N/e one else had any random reboot issues yet?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] revcp:
I had one random reboot immediately after first boot yesterday (the first I've had installing the tests, RC1 and several nightlies), but I've had nothing but smooth sailing and everything fully functional since.

blame htc for that not google... our processors dont handle flash content very well. .. so much to the point that it's pointless trying to integrate it into the browser because the results r less than impressive :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
Since the 8/28 thing has been ripped on quite a bit, I'll just skip it and head straight to the question ... :D

Have you checked the "system persistent" feature in ADW? If so, uncheck it; thats a feature really only used for the G1 and really old phones that can't hold alternative launchers in memory well. Instead, check the "keep home in memory" feature in Cyanogenmod Settings => Performance Settings.

If its not that, check AutoKiller ... if your Internal Mem settings are too high, that could cause it FC (had the problem when I set it to Extreme ... changed it to Aggressive and haven't had a problem).

Edit: Are you running the 8/23 build? That came with ADW 1.1.1, which had some FC issues. If you update to 8/24, it has 1.1.2, which fixes that bug.
