Also, could someone please tell me why it says I have no root after nandroiding back to dd 2.7? I'm not sure what causes this, but it bothers me a bit. I have this "insecurity" without it, haha.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] johnny15:
When I said that people "don't care" I just meant users in general....people must not use their phones as a media device as much as I do. Sorry. :(

What type of video file is working for you? I'm trying movies that I've encoded with Handbrake. I'm using the Meridian media player. What are you using? As I mentioned earlier, it worked fine in 2.1 which is really supposed to be slower than 2.2, that's why I'm surprised they don't work...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jasonlefever:
I'm not sure what you mean by "encoded with handbrake". I use rockplayer. It plays A TON of different video files. Like avi and I think divx. It's a free download, look it up. Use the armv6 version.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tomatosoup:
Push this to /system/app
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wardfan220:
I uploaded that keyboard to a different site so it should be there. And the keyboards from gimpsta will work if you choose v27 low res for 1.5.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dondadah88:
The rc1 is so unstable and so slow for me. Is anyone having this problem.

With flashing rc1 my battery life is poor, my phone is ridiculously slow.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jasonlefever:
That's weird, they never worked for me.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] doojer:
rc1 is blazing fast for me. only issue so far is the permanent voicemail icon.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dondadah88:
I just tried it again with just that flash. I didn't flash on top of anything and I do see the speed now. But the market place isn't showing some of the apps.

I know the fix was to test 4 then flash the RC but that's where the battery drain and the slowness comes in.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sprinterguy:
Is your battery life as good as it was on non-froyo roms? I have seen in this thread where others claim excellent battery life compared to previous roms, or at least as good.

I still have the LED on after charge and no preview with the camera (which I can live with) but I can't live with how quickly this thing sucks my battery down.

I would greatly appreciate if someone that is getting good battery life could post their setup....i.e. radio, recovery image, kernel, version of CM6, etc....i'd like to see where we differ and try to tweak my setup for better battery life.

Thanks in advance.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Moguledyouth:
Pull the Phone.apk from one of the earlier builds and push it to /system/app to be able to clear the voicemail notification.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] adamboyd83:
So was there an update today? The blue whatever themed version says so. I just wan the original if there was. Went to IRC but i think i got lost in the clutter.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aven_soulgazer:
I'm on will eatyourcat. I flashed it and the battery fix version 2 over test 4.

I'm not having the voicemail notification problem.

I get picture mail just fine but audio mms wont download. I'm going to try the mms fix.

I have to restart the phone every few hours or it bogs down to unusable. Gets to the point I have to pull the battery.

Battery life has been decent. At least as good as fresh if not better for me.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jcj77d:
can i install this 6.0.0 test 4 rom on my hero, flash google ****s, & then flash DarchKernel vUV 710mhz with Free Memory Tweak For Fresh 2.1.1/2.1.2/2.3.3, & then flash the rosie themes,,, over my current sprint 2.1 rom (rooted) w/ custom recover image.

what im trying to do is:

1. get froyo on my htc cdma hero (how do i fix the cam/video/mms/facebook probs)

2. install an overclocked kernel (which one can i use w/ the above)

3. keep the look of the htc sence/hero style (how can i do this)

links & or how to steps would be awesome, thanks

im just scared to brick my phone, & all i want to do is make my phone faster, support full flash, able to move apps to sd, & save space, but keep the htc look
[Hero CDMA Android Development] james33440:
I don't think you can get full flash support. Hero doesn't support it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Vietl3oi4eva:
does anyone have the apk for opera mini? can't seem to find it on the market ever since i flashed the RC1 rom
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jasonlefever:
Same here, just google the apk.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sdotcarlisle:
My battery life was 8 hours max and that was me trying to limit what i use so that it doesnt die quicker. I recalibrated the battery then flashed collins v3 tweak found at primoweb.com/froyo with the 748 tweak and today once i woke up it had fully charge from night charging then used my phone as i normally would, even went geocaching with the kids, still have 44% charge with now 11 hours uptime. VERY HAPPY ABOUT THIS! :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DanWalker:
just out of curiosity how does one recalibrate the battery? I haven't figured it out yet.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] claydawg:
Fully charge phone

Reboot to recovery mode and "Wipe Battery Stats"

Run phone all the way down until it dies before charging it again
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cirehawk:
Would you be willing to post the HTC IME mod you used? I tried the HTC_IME mod that I have, but it just force closes.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] iskatebad45:
IMO anyone who is having battery issues should recalibrate their battery (super important), then either use collin_ph's battery tweak AND/OR use a widget called SMODA (toggles 3g). I can easily get up to 20 hours of battery life and more if I wanted to.

I've also attached the SMODA widget as it is (I think) a protected app and doesn't show up in the market with RC1, and it's a nice apk to have around.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cirehawk:
Loving this rom so far, but have a couple questions.

The first question has to do with facebook syncing. I got it working with the mod posted earlier, but with the previous sense based roms, if the name of your facebook friend didn't match the contact name exactly you could manually select which friend to sync the contact with. I don't see that option in this contact app. Is my only solution to rename my contact to match the facebook name, or is there another way?

Secondly, when editing a contact I see no way to assign a ringtone to it. Am I missing something, or is it not possible?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wardfan220:
I posted this a few pages back, give it a try.

Black Keyboard, unzip, place on root of sd card , and install using Astro or another file manager program.

Then activate it in settings/Language & Keyboard, then long press on any text box and click "input method" then click HTC_IME mod.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] K@ng2011:
Cdma hero cm-6

My conclusion after a week of testing"

1. Not for general consumption

2. Camera magic is not a fix for froyo camera

3. Sync will not work properly

4. Wait for another official update

6. Not worth the hassle

7. Much faster at everything

8. Voicemail issues

9. Have to fix something everyday

10. Tons of fun if you know what you are doing

caution: If you are a noob try something else.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cirehawk:
I actually say that, but from the screen shots it doesn't look as though that keyboard has the voice input key. Not a huge problem, but I was try to use a keyboard that has it. I'll try yours though, since it'll be better than the default keyboard.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cirehawk:
Whenever I try to download the file from that link, I am taken to some other website.

PS... Never mind, I got it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hunter82i:
Unfortunately I flashed back to a 2.1 rom. I could have lived with the bugs of this but not the battery life. From those posting 20 hours I have no idea how you've gotten that. I've calibrated and tweaked, turned syncs off etc. This wouldn't even get me 10 hours with very little use. I can't wait for the official release I will definitely be back as this rom is blazing fast. For those getting great battery life enjoy it
[Hero CDMA Android Development] K@ng2011:
ANSWER

the link is on the first page on this thread........
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cirehawk:
Really? Well call me stupid cause I don't see it. All I saw was the http://www.4shared.com/get/BiipvwrG/fb-mms-tikl.html fix, which I stated I had already flashed. I didn't see the actual tikl app anywhere.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cirehawk:
Thanks, worked like a charm. However, I think I prefer a white keyboard (black is a little too dark) so I may go to the site and mod it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] warrencarreiro:
Google Googles

Thanks for all the work on this ROM. Anyone else have Google Googles FC on open?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mbobino:
I have fc problems with every app that uses the camera. Its because of the preview not working.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sfcbr:
Can't help with the first question, as I don't use facebook on my phone...

To add a ringtone to an existing contact, select the contact, press "Menu", then "Options"......Ringtone should be the first option (drop-down menu).

Hope this works (works for me!).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wardfan220:
Glad it worked for you, just make sure you use v27 low res then for android 1.5. I chose the black background to go with the BlackOut 2.2 theme.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cirehawk:
Yep, that was it as far as the ringtone. Interesting that they broke it out from the "edit contact" options. Easy enough though, just didn't think to look there.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cirehawk:
Yep, I heeded your warning. The site is pretty cool. I'm a Laker fan and right away I saw someone themed a Laker keyboard. I used that template and had it installed within a few minutes. Awesome.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] BlaqkAudio:
I just saw a tweet from Darch/Cyanogen. Cyanogen is going to work on getting the MT3G Slide's camera fully working this week. According to Darch, this should also get the Hero's camera working (same cameras?).

[Hero CDMA Android Development] jmouw:
Time Without a signal

im having terrible battery life. i notice that when i went to: settings-about phone-battery use -cell standby, it says time without a signal =50%. that may have nothing to do with my battery life. what do others say?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wtphoto:
I have been running this for a little over a week now allthough its like 3 builds ago and love it, with jit enabled its very fast, thanks for all the work ill flash this build tonight
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Ualdayan:
Kernel's that are .32 and above support the full amount of RAM (288MB) on the Hero while those that are based on .29 can't address the full 288MB of RAM right? Anybody here using a >.32 based kernel with working GPS?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damiandarkwater:
I'm okay with rebooting the phone whenever it keeps the notification light on. It hardly happens anyway.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Darkshneider:
Say what now?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] melgabean:
i'm confused as to what you are asking. the Kernel that is used in this rom is custom built for the Hero (and uses all the ram) by the wonderful darchstar.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smolck:
I'm curious, is anyone else having battery issues? Seems to drain awful fast. I tried flashing the undervolt kernel and it wouldn't boot. Anyone else have an idea?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tinfox:
I haven't had any battery problems (aside from the usual).

I installed this ROM this morning and I used it a lot. The battery seemed fine to me.

I did a "clear all user data" and then wiped everything.(tiwice)

I do have a question tho, well two... okay 3... :D

1. Does wifi tether work? It wouldn't get me an IP when i tried earlier.

2. Barcode scanners don't seem to be working. ( i guess because the camera is flarked)

3. When you set up the phone to backup to Google, is that why most of my apps keep showing up even after I DELETED the ext3 partition?

Is this Froyo specific, or could it be used to fix the keyboard issue in 2.7? I'm holding off on Froyo until all the kinks are worked out, but the messed up keyboard has been driving me nuts.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Darkshneider:
Lol, you typed !url. Banhammer for you.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] melgabean:
so what happened is bikcmp got sick and tired of seeing all the !url and put a kline ban on anyone who types it. and i have to admit it gets old in the hour i've been on irc i've seen about 30 of them. so i guess wait the time and we will see you later.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tejasrichard:
I am having the opposite of battery issues. i have had my phone off the charger for nearly 21 hours now and have 59% battery left. I have: run the mario lwp (but only for about 30 minutes), read emails, sent text, sent gtalk, downloaded the ROM we are using, downloaded the BFS kernel, done miscellaneous web surfing, and run several iterations of quadrant. I am plenty happy with my battery life so far. And yes, I have sync on and it has retrieved gmail for me. What I don't have is a bunch of widgets eating up my battery.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smolck:
Do you like the BFS kernel? Does it give you better performance?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jus10o:
This rom is as stable as 2.7. I actually like it even better.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] reedsw:
I charged to full and unplugged. No led issues after removing from charger.

:cool:Best damn ROM I have ever used!!! It has the speed that I always wanted.. thanks to Jus10o for his help an Tomatosoup..my hero is EVO..lving...lol:cool:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] miguelfp1:
use the "Join" option while editing a contact to merge it with the correct facebook profile. if the correct one doesn't show, change the option to "Show All Contacts" in the facebook app settings.

hope this helps!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] METHOD1911:
How do you download the black keyboard the link takes me to some other website
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
The amber directory doesn't exist. But if you issue the same command and use red instead of amber, the led turns green and then you must issue the command again with green instead of red and the LED goes off. Obviously, this is a little tedious so I just created a script to do this for me in a once off. So, my script reads:

#!/bin/bash

echo "0" > /sys/class/leds/red/brightness

echo "0" > /sys/class/leds/green/brightness

I have it in sdcard directory and it's named leds.sh Whenever my led is on, I open terminal, su, then "sh /sdcard/leds.sh" and that's it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] noiddroid:
Has anyone else noticed that when the camcorder does function it will record audio but not video? Which begs the question is the fc for video the same problem as the view finder and that it is simply tue command that the shutter for view finder and the cam is wroung.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vidsid:
Brilliant! Thanks!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jedis:
Thanks. Is there a way to make this a one click thing or make it easier to run than typing out the command "sh /sdcard/leds.sh" ?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sdotcarlisle:
*TO CALIBRATE BATTERY* Battery recalibration : 1 If you're experiencing higher than normal battery drain, try the following: Charge the phone to full battery; let it keep charging until the battery says it is fully charged. Do not wait until the light is green, it isn't always fully charged, causing a lot of inaccuracies. (You can check by going to: Settings -> About Phone -> Status -> Battery Level = Full.) 2 Boot to recovery mode and wipe battery stats in recovery 3 Immediately reboot, and once you have access to the launcher, unplug the phone. 4 Do not charge the phone until after draining the battery completely, resulting in it automatically shutting off. 5 Recharge and use your phone as normal. (FROM: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Troubleshooting#Battery_recalibration)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
I updated the first post. please continue discussing the rom here, just letting you guys know where to find the latest updates
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sdotcarlisle:
i was too, see my post about calibrating battery and collins tweak (primoweb.com/froyo)

you may also want to nandroid then flash fresh2.3.3 then update your prl if you're not on 60668 see if that can get you better towers to pick up from.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sdotcarlisle:
hey darch thanks for the update! I tried to dl the file but http://darchroms.pocketdevelopers.com/cm/cyangoen_heroc-ota-eng.ameer.zip has a 404 error.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cirehawk:
Thanks, that's what I was looking for. I really need to start using that menu button more. :) Looks like they broke a few things out into their own options.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jasonlefever:
Hey darch, when I nandroid back to DD 2.7, my root is glitched out and apps say it isn't there. You know what causes this?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] iaminflames:
When I try to move apps from phone to SD it says "failed not enough space left" anyone have this problem as well?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] shinma6980:
I'm pretty sure that would involve making an app to do that and though I do want to eventually look into writing an app or two, I just don't have the time right now to learn - especially since this is finals week :/
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tomatosoup:
Open your app drawer and choose terminal emulator, press menu, preferences, and in the startup command box type

Code:

(make sure that they end up on their own lines)

Now everytime you start terminal emulator it will turn off the stuck led

or if you want to use that leds.sh script
[Hero CDMA Android Development] subcypher:
Wait... you won't be updating here anymore? :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] asoong:
Take a look at the OP for the link to the new forum page. There you'll see that this ROM will eventually get nightly updates.:D

And in case anyone's lazy - here's a quote from the post:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] asoong:
Will the new rom get OTA updates?

Probably just wishful thinking on my part but if you look at the file name, it has "ota" in the name. Does anyone know if darchstar is planning on providing an update tool or if the cyanogen update app from the market would work with these roms? I'm hoping we can easily layer new updates on top of older versions... :confused:

Filename:

"cyanogen_heroc-ota-eng.ameer.zip"
[Hero CDMA Android Development] shinma6980:
Awesome thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] xxproblemzxx:
That happened to me. You didn't lose root, just your root required apps think that because you lost superuser permissions. I got it back when I flashed froyo again
[Hero CDMA Android Development] subcypher:
Yes, thank you. I got that. I just hate checking 484502301 webpages every day. It's nice to have all my phone related stuff here at XDA. Quitting updating a community like this to go off and update a solo page for a single ROM is the equivalent of a mountain man coming into town once a quarter to buy supplies and updating the shopkeep before leaving again.

But, whatever makes you happy, Darch. I still love your work. I just don't see the benefit of this move.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] james33440:
So what does the new rom from 7/26 have that the earlier builds didn't?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pfrederickjr:
Notifications

The annoying little notification icon can be cleared.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] asoong:
+1 Nice points.

If anyone was having issues with HQ youtube videos not playing, this should fix it. flash through recovery no wipe.

I can't see the fix link for YouTube HQ in the xda app. Oh well.

I flashed over willeaturcat which was flashed over test 4, not sure if I was supposed to do that. So far quite zippy. Hope it doesn't lag down like willeaturcat did on be.

Willeaturcat over test 4 with the second battery fix was at 30% at 6 hours with my google account and two emails checking on the hour plus some text and 10 minutes of YouTube video. Good stuff
[Hero CDMA Android Development] caliboy99:
anyone here still running test4, i am. My problem started a week or so a go, weather bug elite would not update temp, forcast etc. Now the problem has moved to beautiful widgets and its weather info, it will not update any weather info even if i try to do it manually.

Has anyone experienced similar problems with test4 or later? If updating rom to the latest build fixes this issue then i will be more than happy to go through the update process. However if this is still a problem with new builds then i guess ill look start looking for fixes to my problem.

Thanks
