Do we need to do a full wipe to install the nightlies? I am diggin this..Everything works for me. VM,GPS,MMS,SMS all works fine! Excellent job!! I can't wait for this to be a final build!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] RocStar629:
Flash the latest nightly, and then flash this over it. Now you have the newest nightly that will boot at 710 and can overclock up to 768!

http://darchroms.pocketdevelopers.com/cm/overclockfix.zip
[Hero CDMA Android Development] RocStar629:
No need to wipe, as long as you are coming from a previous CM6 build, just nandroid first just in case. Then flash over the old build with the new one.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ItsDon:
I always wipe just the dalvik cache then flash. All nightlies have been fine for me doing it this way.

That said...... on every build up until last night the LED notification worked fine, just a simple blinking green light. Now when I get an email it is the solid green light that blinks amber (just like DD2.8 did). I don't think this is the much discussed sticking LED issue since it does turn off, just works differently. Is there a setting to change this? I like the simple green blink.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] CyborgNM156:
Cool deal thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ssolomon:
Can I flash the 2.1 ROM, update the PRL, then restore a Nandroid backup or must the last part include a fresh flash of the 2.2 ROM?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] markus_del_marko:
the led blinks when not on a charge? i didn't know the hero had that option, i would think that would be a battery killer right there. :confused:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Yup! That's all you have to do. Just update the prl and profile on the 2.1 rom and then nandroid back to 2.2 and the prl will be updated.

I think my problem with Pandora was that I didn't wipe cache when I flashed the nightly so I wiped everything and re-flashed and Pandora is running great.

What are the best SetCpu settings for this rom which wont kill the battery?

I've disabled Collin's tweak cause it seems to not be working at the moment.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
You don't need set cpu... battery life is great with this rom and the cpu governor is in the kernal and is set to manage the cpu automatically. And I don't even think set cpu works unless yo flash the overclocked kernal mentioned a few posts back.

Sent from my HTC Hero running froyo: take that, Sprint!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] RocStar629:
No kidding battery life is great... I have been unplugged 5 and 1/2 hours with moderate usage, and still have 87% left. I have never experienced such good battery on ANY phone let alone one with a screen like the hero's. well done Darch, well done.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gidkid:
Yeah... I figured I'd calibrate my battery, just to see if it works better afterwards. After charging fully, I left the phone on all night. After eating breakfast and getting dressed, it had 75% left.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] asoong:
Are the nightlies using more RAM?

After reading the last few posts, I couldn't resist asking... My battery life is great (~60% after 14 hours avg) but I have noticed less available RAM. With my normal load, I used to hover around 50-70MB available when I was on Test4 and zOMG. With the 8/10 nightly, I'm generally around 20-25% with no new apps or widgets loaded.

I haven't bothered to poke around to see what's chewing up my RAM since my phone runs fine if I don't run a LWP. With a LWP, the phone is fairly laggy but that might be the slightly lower 691 clock speed.

Anyone else seeing more RAM usage than before?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gidkid:
I think I heard something about a memory leak on that build. Right now I'm running the 8-11 nightly and I run at 85-105 mb free, better than ever before.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ItsDon:
How do you check?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aven_soulgazer:
I haven't had luck with prl and profile updates with the custom rom's, having to go to the ones based off of sprint's roms
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ItsDon:
Is the latest PRL still 60669?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zansatsu:
In my case, I have noticed that the orange charge indicator stays on constantly on the 812 nightly.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] spidoman:
Can setcpu set the minimum below 710?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
Yes you can.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chefthomas99:
You are right - just took off Setcpu and now notice difference in phone.

Do you have Jit on? VM heap size @32mb?

Any other tips & tricks you recommended ?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
I personally left all of the performance settings the same, but feel free to mess around with them. Some people find jit to work wonders on their phone, while on others it crashes. Just see what works best for you. But for me, I just left everything the same (jit off, vm heap on default) and I'm running smooth as butter!

[Hero CDMA Android Development] gidkid:
Has anybody else noticed that when you set a pattern password, the device skips the lockscreen with the sliding tabs and goes straight to the password screen? This doesn't happen with a PIN or word password. Is there a way not to skip the original lockscreen? I like the volume controls and the music controls on it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
im probably going to get flamed for asking this, im running the 8/12 nightly and i love it, but is there a stable build with the camera preview, video recording, and the charging LED fix?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
All of these things DO work except for the led... there is not an official stable build yet, although the newest nightlies are about 99% there

I might be alone, but my LED works perfectly.

mine works also with the 8/11
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zaneyard:
The only thing stopping me from using the nightly build is that I can't for the life of me get the market/google apps onto the rom.

If anyone could point out what I'm doing wrong or how to fix it I would happily switch from DD to CM.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gecko779:
Anyone having troubles installing google voice search while running this rom? Whenever is download and install the apps the installation fails...

thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jakejm79:
Does anyone have the LED blinking green for notifications (specifically Email, Missed Calls and SMS).

Mine has always blinked (on the 8/10 and 8/11 nightlies) blinked orange and there is no option that I can find to change the color, if I use Handcent and pick a color for notifications of green, I get the solid green with flashing orange (I had the same behavior on DD2.7/2.8, pick green = green with orange flash, pick any other color get orange flash).

I would love to have a green flash since the orange flash is what the phone does when needing to be charged.

Other than that this ROM is pretty much perfect.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
I think that's just a limitation of aosp

[Hero CDMA Android Development] andygu3:
Thanks Darch :) Flashed 810,everything worked great no issues. Flashed 812,and again everything runs beautifully. Only problem I'm finding is when I do a Linpack score, after results, my phone slows down to a crawl.Reboot phone, fine. Might be due to recent Linpack upgrade, don't know.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] jakejm79:
That is what I thought, but several people have reported that they have a green flashing LED, not a big deal, but if I can get that I would love to. Weird how I can get it flash one color and not the other.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wardfan220:
Yes, I just nandroided back to stock and updated my prl last night and 60669 is what it gave me.

On my phone so I can't check atm but was there a post about lock screen delay fix? When I hit the end button to wake up my phone it takes up to 2 seconds before I get the unlock screen.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] bcarter2000:
You have to download the gapps (google apps) zip, and flash it after you flash the rom. You can find a link to everything you need in the irc, and a link to the irc on the first post of this thread.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ItsDon:
That would be me. 8/10 & 8/11 had blinking green light. 8/12 has solid green with blinking orange. Not an AOSP limitation obviously. It is a setting somewhere or a bug.

Testing, Testing, 1 2 3...

OK...I am excited about the build form the last nightly, seems to work great except for the redraw problem when rotating the picture... My biggest and most annoying issue has always been the battery life. SO, today I wiped clean and flashed the nightly, flashed the Collins Beta 7, the google apps, the overclock fix, and blackmod 2.3. The only issue with the blackmod I see is the 2G/3G switch doesnt work. Any way i tweaked the collins to the default 710 and charged to 100...I unplugged @ 3:15CDT and have not done anything on the phone as of this posting. I have the Mobiel network running and wifi turned off and GPS off. I have auto refresh for the fancy widget set to three hours. I have Battery life widget running, Jorte calendar widget, Google search widget, Chomp SMS big widget and advanced task killer (I am not sure I still need to use this program - any input woudl be greatly appreciated.) in 15 minutes as of the time of this posting and my phone unplugged my batteyr life is .....99....can t wait to see what sort of life Im gonna get out of this charge and this set up...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vrajpal:
so what is not working in the 8/12 build?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jakejm79:
Weird I started with 08/10 and then flashed 8/11 (no wipe) both times I had orange for notifications (unless I used a 3rd party app i.e. handcent, and selected green, then I had green steady with orange flash).

I just playing with Noti LED:

Red = Orange LED

Orange = Orange LED

Green = Green LED

So it appears that green should work, but for some reason it doesn't

I was always under the impression that the hero had just 2 LEDs: Red and Green that could be combined to make Orange, so 3 colors total?

I have just downloaded 8/12 and will try that and see what i get.

Also I noticed on DD that there was a whole section in the settings to do with notification LED and trackball LED settings, I don't see that neither can i change the LED settings for stock apps (MMS.apk, Email.apk, etc) just the third party ones.

ItsDon, what procedure did you do when you had the green LED blinking, i.e. wipe/no wipe, from what ROM before, etc.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] markus_del_marko:
there must be an issue with your phone because i never had the audio loss on any 2.1 rom and to my knowledge it was never an issue with aosp builds before.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] grantcathi:
Has anyone gotten the sprint apps (football, nav, nascar...) to work on this build? Thinking about using this ROM as my everyday... I use the sprint apps alot and was not sure if trying to install them would work or just make my phone very angry.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Your suspicions are correct... you shouldn't be using advanced task killer. Task killers actually slow your phone down read this for more info:

http://geekfor.me/faq/you-shouldnt-be-using-a-task-killer-with-android/

You can use auto killer though... its an app on the market that works with android unlike a task killer... I would check it out. Hope this helps

I installed the Sprint navigation app today without any problem. Google Nav doesn't work in Puerto Rico so I have to make due.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jerry43812:
Android was built to handle it's own tasks, shut down apps that havent been used in a bit and place apps in a 'memory' rather than actively burning up CPU. I dont use any task killer.

I flashed back to the 8/8 release, using collin_ph beta 7 at 710 presets, and have had my phone off charge since 320am this morning. about 10 texts, a few emails back and forth with someone using gmail app, I get my regular IMAP email synced every hour, and I have beautiful widgets weather widget, updates every 2 hours. I made about 4 phone calls, 10 minutes total. Battery is at 60%. You CANNOT beat the battery life!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jerry43812:
Can confirm this. 8/8 release the LED works flawlessly for me. I was ona few nightlies with different LED style notifications and problems on each one. 8/8 is pretty stable. Wifi access works, USB tether works, no audio loss, led's work, can be tweaked with collin_ph battery tweak. Love it!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Pauper7:
Thanks for the info on the how android works :) can you link me to the 8/8 release? Does the camera work on that one? do I still need the overclock fix with that. what other settings do you have that help you obtain that kind fo battery life?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
Nothing wrong with using Advanced Task Killer, as long as you have the Auto-Kill option off. Probably better to have it not launch at startup either. Android's built-in task handler is nice, but sometimes you just don't want an app running in the background, not to mention sometimes they just don't shut off, period (some recently updated apps can attest to this). Doesn't slow down my phone or run down my battery at all, just have to use it intelligently I suppose, and don't kill any tasks you are unsure of.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
I get the solid green blinking orange LED for email and I think missed call notifications (only when the screen is off, no less), but Handcent notifications are just solid orange/red (also only when the screen is off).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Pauper7:
Thanks for the advice and the info on auto killer. I am uninstalling as I type this. incidentally an hour has passed and I browsed FB thru Opera Browser only for a few seconds and im at 99 still as I download an uninstall the app.

I've had a tough, tough time upgrading PRL. Actually, haven't been able to do it.

Here's a question... I've had a hard time finding actual files to update prl using the "dial ##775#, input your MSL, point to unzipped PRL" process. In fact, I've found only one. Is there a link I'm not finding where they could be downloaded? And is it as simple as just unzipping on the PC, extracting the .prl file and putting it on the root of the SD? The file I've done that with doesn't do anything.

Try the dual mount sd widget, click it and your card is almost instantly available on your pc but still available on your phone as well.

And those having problems with the new google voice search (none of the news articles tell you that's what voice actions is inside of), remove voice search from /system/app first. When I did that, it still didn't install, but I went to /data/app I found it there, then clicked on it and installed, and it worked. Then went back to market to install so I would be notified of updates, and worked fine. Long way around, but didn't work till I did it, so there ya go if you need it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gehlersjr:
The reason the sdcard takes so long to mount is because it has to close everything out first running off the card, try doing it inside recovery it's instant cause nothings running. Its inside the partitions menu.

Interum fix for loosing voice search and voice to text after flashing the new Google apps (gapps-mdpi-FRF91-2-signed.zip) over the first FRF91 that was posted.

If you flashed gapps-mdpi-FRF91-2-signed.zip over the first FRF91 push the libspeech.so in gapps-passion-FRF91-hero-signed.zip to the /system/lib directory. (you should already have the libinterstitial.so file in /system/lib but if not push that too)

If you flashed gapps-mdpi-FRF91-2-signed.zip first (did not flash gapps-passion-FRF91-hero-signed.zip at all) , you will need to push libspeech.so and libinterstitial.so in gapps-passion-FRF91-hero-signed.zip to the /system/lib directory.

You may not need the libinterstitial.so but it is not in the new Google apps zip file so I included it. Both Voice Search and Voice To Text work for me now.

Btw, I had to do a wipe, flash rom, flash GS (2nd one), and then the Market FCs stopped happening.
