Completely different analogy. A supercharger is an ADD-ON; a kernel is a must-have. It would have been more accurate if you used tires, and in that sense there are hundreds of reasons to choose a certain brand/make of tire including cost, manufacturer agreements, and politics -- none of which can be applied to a rooted phone where you can do whatever you want.

...But I hear what you are saying: different devs working on different projects. My question was more like "if they have to pick one at all, why not this one that everybody says is better?"
[Hero CDMA Android Development] CyborgNM156:
Dam MetroPCS changed some things server side and now I've lost ALL web...Anyone happen to know what changed? All I heard was that they did make some changes and it was related to the internet. it's not like I can all them up and tell them..LOL "Hey I am on a Hero, a phone you don't even support or sell...Can you tell me what yall changed?" Unfortunately this isn't going to happen...

I am on 89 nightlies and I know for certain it has ZERO to do with this ROM. Help!! 88 for me had some random reboots 89 seems a lot more stable.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hotaru:
there are other reasons for choosing different tires that do apply... there's a reason cars don't come with racing slicks on them, even though racing slicks are better in certain circumstances.

do you have the latest metropcs prl?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] etnpnys:
Yes, but those are the reasons that everybody seems to be in agreement on. When I posted the original question, I neglected the information that chefthomas99 reminded me of: Not all Heroes are created equally. That's completely understandable, and it all boils down to the fact that each user should probably just try them out and see what happens. These forums are a great place to gauge how well they are working for others, but it may also have no bearing on how well it will work for your phone.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] CyborgNM156:
do you have the latest metropcs prl?[/QUOTE]

My current prl is: 02003 I am not sure what the current is. It seems I have had 02003 for quite some time. And I just got a confirmation on MetroPCS making changes to Internet\Data over the weekend. So either you need to get that info, or have your phone re-flashed to get it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ro_bro:
Anyone know of a good theme that would work on top of the 89 nightly? I tried SME, and I get a boot loop.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
You could try my theme! I believe it will work for 89, and I update the nightly theme at the end of each week.

How can I set my kernal to be 710 without using set CPU? How can I hard code it to be 710 or anything else other then 690?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Flash one of decad3nce's uncapped kernels, and then limit the max to 710 via terminal emulator

Sent from my HTC Hero running froyo: take that, Sprint!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] diesel joe:
Just use Collin's battery tweak. I use this and it works great.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Yes, but first he needs the uncapped kernel, and I believe he didn't want to use anything like the tweak, may have misread that though

[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jedis:
I'm using the 10/6 nightly and it's horribly unstable.

The phone is always lagging, ADW force closes and the phone will lockup and I'll have to pull the battery.

This has happened for the past few nightlies that I've tried. Is anyone else experiencing any of these problems? This rom used to be awesome, but it's having more issues lately than it is behaving.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Make sure JIT is off, and auto rotate is on
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jedis:
JIT is off. Auto rotate is off because I can't stand it being on. Don't tell me this bug is back? It was working fine disabled in older nightlies.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
It may be back seeing the results you're getting with it off :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] BlaqkAudio:
Just turn it on and disable rotation angles in CM Settings

Sent from my HERO200
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jedis:
That's what I've been doing... but it appears the last time I wiped I turned off the main setting instead of the CM6 setting. Doh. That should do it...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Cool, hope it's running well for you now!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obsanity:
Has anyone tried the "quiet hours" in CyanogenMod settings->Sound settings->Enable quiet hours?

No matter what I do it seems like it doesn't work at all. I've been trying nighties from version 9-28-2010 and none of them ever worked. Has anyone got them to work? What am I doing wrong?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
I've never tried it... perhaps it's not a working feature yet?

Inconsistent signal

Hi,

I am having very inconsistent signal on CM6. I am getting lots of dropped calls and poor service. My signal will swing from as low as -65 up to -120 in my home where I always had good reception. My wife has a stock hero and her phone stays at a consistent -70 dbm in the house, so there is definitely something with my phone.

I am using the 10-7 nightly.

Baseband 2.42.01.04.27

build frg83

Sprint PRL 60671

Thanks for all your help.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aven_soulgazer:
I flashed 83 from an older nightly and realized that the camera has been changed. There is no longer a brightness setting. Has it been added back? I need it for my sunset pics I take daily on my drive home plus hdr photos
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
See my signal thread to change radios... you may just need a different one. also just FYI -60 is better than -120 :)

Sent from my HTC Hero running froyo: take that, Sprint!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] squigglyrulez:
LOL, dont read too much into the joke.

The supercharger is an ADD-ON....yes. But it gives better performace by modifying the stock setup. That was my point. The unlocked kernels allow you to modify your settings to give you better performance. But like I said, you have to test them out and see which one works better for your phone. If the developers want to integrate the kernels into the roms, they could, but its up to them. I believe CM is using the most stable kernel not the best performing one, but you could just PM the dev about it, maybe he would consider using another kernel.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] CyborgNM156:
I've had the same issues since 84 to now 89 although 89 not as much random reboots. I using the 691mhz stable 10-12-2010 kernal from Deca..And I did wipe cache..But still seems slugish at times and freezes.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obsanity:
I think I've seen someone using it and likeing it. Can someone try the quiet hours and let me know if it works. Maybe it's just the nighties and stable has it working.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] byrule62:
Thanks so much for your help!

I believe I have already been on the latest radio, since my baseband lines up with your thread. I also have previously pushed the visual signal fix, but that of course did not affect my dropped calls.

Any other thoughts would be greatly appreciated. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] RocStar629:
You may try an older radio. Sometimes older ones work better for some than the newer ones. Also I think someone said the Verizon radio is supposed to be pretty good, but i havent tried it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] revcp:
I've had similar issues with two of the more recent nightlies.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ro_bro:
I'm using #89 with #9 CFS kernel. using overclock widget at 568/730 screen on, and 245/480 screen off. Seems zippy enough - for the hardware that is. I just tried a Samsung epic 4g at Radio Shack. Blown away by how fast it is. The camera has zero lag, and takes great pics, and apps open up quickly. I'm looking forward to how it will look with 2.2, when 2.1 is that fast. The only thing I'm still not liking is the mandatory 10/month and the keyboard that is flushed in straight columns. Feels weird typing on it. Sorry for the side rave/rant.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
+1 to this.... sometimes an "older" radio will actually be better for your area :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] painter_:
I was having the same sort of issues. I flash a nightly every 3-4 days. My phone became very unstable. I wiped the Dalvik-cache and my phone has been running for 3 days with out a problem.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] diesel joe:
I have been using the quiet hours and they work fine. Make sure there is a green check in the box. Also have to set times, and check Mute notifications. Hope this helps, I am not sure if it stops phone calls. But I don't get texts and emails.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obsanity:
Yeah, I got all setup right and the check mark is on. Can you pick up another phone and call yourself just to verify if phone calls ring the ringer?

Next thing on my list is to wipe dalvik and try again.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fifedogg:
Why don't you use the stable version rather than a nightly? I find the stable to run awesome.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] danaff37:
Darch had been busy with school from what I understand, but he has also been working on a new 2.6.34 kernel for us (deca has been too)

Also, check twitter cmsrc. Any changes to cm will be shown there.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Vrekk:
I think quite hours work. I have mine set to quite notifications and I have never been woken up form a middle of the night text or email, even though I keep my phone on Max volume. A few middle of the night phone calls, but I didn't turn them off with quite mode. Could just be heavy sleeping though.

Edit: just sent myself a text with quite mode activity, it works

[Hero CDMA Android Development] skola28:
I just reloaded the stable and I forgot that the Gallery doesn't really work correctly in that build. I believe it got fixed somewhere in a nightly before the 'numbering' started.

I had some really bad luck with some of the more recent nightlies which is why I went back to CM6. Anyone know which build has the fixed gallery? (rotate bug, exit crash)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] revcp:
Try # 73
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pwrmedia:
All nightlies through #79 have been removed from the server, it appears.

**EDIT** - Disregard. Appears to be available now.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] etnpnys:
The stable build was horrible for me - I flashed a nightly right on top of it and went back to Launcher Pro - I've been good for days without weird issues. I also have JIT on, Compcache off, and I told both Launcher Pro and CM6 settings to keep the launcher in memory at all times. This thing is really a heck of a lot faster than the new Transform in almost every regard - and I have Angry Birds playing pretty well on it, too!

[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] obsanity:
I'm running the same exact setup. My VM Heap size is at 16. I did some tests and it seems I get the most speed with that memory size. LP rocks I actually purchased the pro and love the new widgets.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obsanity:
I'm on 88 and it's running the library well. However, I see that there was a merge to the main repository for Galery3D (http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,2046) yesterday. I don't see the nightly from that day yet so we'll have to wait for the improved performance. I'm not sure but usually the nightly compiles are very current and in this case we are lagging one day. Maybe there was some trouble with the server and it didn't compile. We should see 91, which will contain the new update, within few hours.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obsanity:
Looks like we're still stuck on 89. For some reason it's not compiling new versions for cdma hero. I see that the legend is stuck on 10-07 version so it must be based on something. Too bad because I want to update to most recent with all the new improvements merged.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] BlaqkAudio:
Does anyone have the issue where the share menu in Gallery is cut off and you're not able to scroll? It's especially noticeable when you're using Gallery in landscape.

I'm reading there are still lots and lots of different patches and flashes required once this rom is on my phone. Is someone planning on releasing another update to Cy6 anytime soon? I really dont want to spend the next hours flashing patches :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ItsDon:
Seriously? Hardly any rom on XDA (alpha, beta whatever) isn't finished and some probably never will be yet they are benchmarked to death, even by their Dev's.

It's a measurement of how the rom performs at the time it is taken, not necessarily when it is complete. I for one appreciate knowing what to expect should I decide to flash the same rom the benchmarker published the results for, especially if he/she compared it to a similar rom.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pwrmedia:
A) Clockworkmod provides for an option to flash an alternate recovery image. Find the alternate you want and select the option to flash it.

B) You can Google Estrongs File Explorer apk to d/l a file manager in lieu of using the market. Matter of fact, you can Google virtually any apk you want w/o using the market at all!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] asoong:

You need to download the google software on the first page of this post and flash it that should fix your google problem.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kyouko:
For those of you who want to be able to do this on the fly w/out a computer open up Terminal Emulator > Menu > Preferences > Initial Command

Then type this in:

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

This way all you have to do is open up terminal emulator to turn the led off. You might need to press Menu > Reset Term to reload the initial commands if you opened T.E. previously.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] scott2020:
Wow. It's been awhile since I have read this thread but I didn't know Darch was done with the hero.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
He's not... he's just busy with school... and the nightlies are made by an automated buildbot, so no human interaction is needed.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obsanity:
Yeah but I wonder what it's based on because there's been a time where there was two compiles each day and not it's been like 4 and we haven't seen one. However, 89 is rock solid for me so far so I'm not complaining. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obsanity:
I would create a profile for the screen off scenario. Knock it down to 19Mhz and up to like 354. You don't need speed when your phone's screen is off.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Not with interactive governor... it automatically keeps it to 245 mHz with screen off :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obsanity:
Yeah, I don't think the interactive is working well. It keeps getting stuck at the lowest and I have to pull the battery to do anything. So unless for some reason that doesn't happen to you the main setting with the interactive is ok. However, the hero's clock can be lowered all the way to 19Mhz and if you limit it to 245 that means it will stay there when the screen is off keeping your phone working harder when it could be saving some power when it can at 19Mhz. So I'd still choose ondemand with a 19->254 or 354Mhz and maybe interactive when the screen is on.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
I never used to like interactive either, but on the new CFS kernel updates it's really good IMHO. Interactive shouldn't be used on BFS though :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obsanity:
Damn, another option I was waiting on just got merged into the main framework of CM6 (http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,2057). It's the silent -> vibrate -> ringer control. Right now silent still vibrates and you have to change that in settings. But this new merge will add this into the volume control (I think).

Still no compile done and we're still stuck on 89. Does anyone know how to grab it and just compile those manually?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Brandito:
frequencies that low can cause stability problems.

not to mention, the phone still needs to do stuff while the screen is off, so it may actually just cause tasks to run longer because of the lower cpu frequency. this is why i use 245-537 screen of set to conservative.

the way i see it is background tasks are going to run so why cause them to take longer time than necessary to complete?

i get 20 or so hours of battery life btw.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] j.c.briggs:
Are the nighties gone?

Or will they come back? I'm addicted and in withdrawal right now!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
We'll see... only time will really tell! ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obsanity:
No, I didn't mean to set the phone to 19Mhz. Read the post again. The ondemand setting ramps up the frequency whenever needed so your max would be in the 354 or so, but the lowest can be set to 19mhz and if there is nothing to do thats where you save the most battery. This is where you could be pulling 30 hours vs the 20 you get now.

If you turn off your 3G signal and you let your frequency go that low, you could have the hero pull 5 days without a charge on pure standby.

I believe sprint stock range is 19-528Mhz
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
19 mHz is not available on Decad3nce's newest kernels, since it doesn't really offer any battery saving abilities, and really just slows down the phone
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obsanity:
Yup, he removed some of those frequencies and thats why I no longer run his kernel mod (killed my long running battery time). Besides, I find the original CM6 kernel much more stable for what I run on my phone. The nightlys have the full range (19-768Mhz).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obsanity:
