I had the same issue wiht Autokiller. Seems liek the reboot resets the settings. I set up a widget to reapply my setting when I reboot.

I downloaded update RCO, now what? wipe all, flash like a new rom?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sdotcarlisle:
no need to wipe just flash, flash the google ****s again too just in case.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zeropants:
Just flashed to RC0 after wiping from another ROM. If I get the issue where the phone (mostly battery area) heats up again is there something I should disable or is there an overclock I should reduce?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] edisonalvarez:
I meant "shortcut" my bad :rolleyes:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hough77:
What is different with update RCO? and thanx!

Do anyone know the URL for downloading Handcent? I installed this ROM and it's a ghost in my market. Of course, I can download all 6 font packs...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] arariel:
I finally solved (most) of my voicemail troubles, by switching to google voice for my VM provider. The only weirdness is that the phone keeps trying to tell me that my carrier doesn't support google voice, even though Sprint is listed in the "supported carriers" section. Whatever though... it only says that if I go try and switch my provider in the settings.

I still have a random notification of 7 pending voicemails, usually on first boot, but I just ignore that.

Other than that one issue, and the known camera issues that I'm sure will be solved, I absolutely love this ROM. I thought I would miss the SenseUI a lot more, but this is just pure love. The speed and responsiveness of my phone has NEVER been better, and the battery use is amazing... I've been unplugged and fiddling almost nonstop with this thing for over 20 hrs now, and my battery is still only down to around 58%! Big thanks to all the devs who had a hand in this! I was about to bite the bullet and shell out the cash to jump to the Evo, but I think this will help tide me over till my contract is actually eligible for an upgrade.

I am having issues keeping a GPS signal. I am running RC0. Anyone have a fix for this? I really really need my phone's GPS to work.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Cathbad09:
GPS Navigation

Great ROM, great SPeed, absoltely love it.

Except for the Navigation issues.

You see, for a while I've had this issue: The GPS would detect my location, but not follow me. After a while, I would regain GPS signal, and loose it again.

This has happened with test4, running GS85, then I switched back to test0, with GS85, then rc0, with GS91-3, and still, the issue is there.

At one point, as suggested by asmith, I did a full wipe and installed Damage Control, and then wiped that and reinstalled rc0 with GS91-3. After that, it worked again flawlessly. It would follow me, even when I was in a parking lot, it would reroute, it would even apply layers. But sadly, today I tried it again and the problems are back.

Does anyone know of a permanent solution? If you do, please post it, or PM me ASAP. I depend on the GPS a lot.

Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bcarter2000:
I've had issues with GPS while running JIT. Other than that, it's been fine.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
+1.

I'm still running Test 4 (RC0 actually gave me more problems), and seriously the ONLY problem other than the camera preview is the GPS lock issue. I too use the GPS a lot, and I've tried every fix others recommended (disable JIT, wipe/reinstall, wipe/install Damage/reinstall) and had no luck. If anyone knows anything, please share. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] iskatebad45:
What recovery are you guys running? I've heard that the recovery you run can be problematic and can actually testify to it being true. I was running the regular heroc recovery and then switched to Amon_RA from DarchDroid and haven't had any problems since. Just a thought.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] silverxj:
+ 1 on this. Seemed to make things a little better. I switched to the clockwork recovery.

I don't know I flashed the rom and all the tweaks at the same time using cyanogen recovery then flashed googleshits

Ok so I can't figure this out. Came from test 4 running linpack in the 5s and mid to high 400s in quadrant to RC0 and am getting in the 4s and 300s. Don't get me wrong it is running nicely, but I like those higher scores!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rochford77:
grrr

so i tried the irc with no luck. im having mad battery issues. right now i have.... 19% left with 7 hrs 31 min since last unplugged. the display is using a ridiculous 71%! and i have only turned the screen on maybe 5 times today! my screen wake time is 1 min, and my brightness is all the way down. android system is using 9%, cell standby 4,phone idle 3, voice calls 3, opera mini 2, android os 2, and launcher pro 2%. why on earth is the display hogging this amount of battery?!?!?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kynov:
So here's a quick question-- while on a call and the screen goes to sleep, how do I wake the screen without ending the call?!? The only button that seems to do anything is the "end call" button, but that ends the call. Was trying to use a call menu and kept hanging up!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:

Yeah my display is at 64%, but battery life is okay. About 20 hours/charge.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
Press the menu button.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] itrackit:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] richse:
I installed test4 and then the RC today and decided to do some testing with all the improvements in froyo. I was comparing load speeds on web pages with my wife's hero running Fresh 2.3.3 with the regular kernel. I found that her phone was actually loading everything a faster than mine. I made sure all the browser cache was cleared and the phones were right next to each other and had been restarted. Is there something I am missing here? I expected the froyo browser to annihilate the 2.1 browser, especially since she has Sense running on her phone.

I'm not sure what setting are pertinent in this situation. I have JIT enabled on my phone and compcache is disabled. That was just the default it was set on after I installed the RC. I was under the impression that the browser had some built in optimizations that should really make it fly. Can anyone shed some light on this for me or suggest anything I can do differently? Thanks.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] Dj21o:
So, they really need to fix this. I've had it running all day, but my screen dims then freezes. My usb mount doesn't work and my display is running higher than my cell radio... And the lockscreen is a bit buggy.. Really nice though!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] xxproblemzxx:
You need to disable any overlooking apps like setcpu or overclock widget first
[Hero CDMA Android Development] krispuniq:
Even my Hero shows display consuming about 46% ! :eek:

But my battery back up is pretty good, its standing at 42% after 24 hours of mild/moderate use !! So i guess it can improve with this display consumption fixed ??
[Hero CDMA Android Development] asoong:
Did you calibrate your battery? Please give more details like how often are you auto-syncing with mail, fb, twitter, weather, contacts, and all that other stuff.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rochford77:
Yeah I calibrated. I use fb and Gmail sync is on. I use juice defender it's on 5 min every half hour. I had these same settings with 2.7 and display ran around 15%. Now its 70%. I just don't know how that's possible.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Dj21o:
Anyone have an idea when this is going to be all finished?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] asoong:
Removing LWPs

Does anyone know where the LWPs files are for RC0? I would like to delete most of them since they don't seem to work or I'm just not interested. I removed the MagicSmoke one from /system/app but where are the new ones located?

Example:

Galaxy

Grass

Many

Nexus

Polar Clock

Spectrum

VU Meter

Water

Waveform

TIA!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] reaver18:
Whenever running games, or other tasks my hero slows down when I touch the screen and move something like it's having trouble processing the display and touch at once. anyone know if this is fixable?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cp0020:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] runningslow:
+1 My GPS also worked fine after flashing RA-Darchstar.

I started having an issue with RC0. Each and every time I would connect a USB cable to my phone (charger or connected to a PC) it would eventually freeze the phone, or reboot. It appeared to start only when I tried to dismount from USB, but began to be every time. Thought it might have been my sd card going bad, but I could boot into recovery, mount via USB and transfer files to my hearts content. No issues there.

I'm now using KangSlayer. No issues charging or transferring files, so my sd card must be fine. I loved Froyo and will go back as soon as a final release is available. (That's probably a lie. I'll probaly test whatever release comes next.)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bigfoottrucker:
Flashed back to a 2.1 Rom. Phone got sluggish and anything needing internet got slower. Also battery life was good unless needed internet, then seemed to fall unusually fast. Otherwise loved it.

Error with Facebook fix

When I atempt to flash fb-mms-tikl.zip, I get the following error:

Installing update...

E:Failure at line 2:

assert getprop("ro.product.device") == "heroc"

Installation aborted.

Has anyone seen this error and know how to fix it so I can flash the fix?

Please let me know!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] itrackit:
Agreed about battery using 3g. I've been sitting here 10min just syncing email and chk a couple websites and I've lost 10% battery. Calibration has been done.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zeropants:
You might want to re-flash it. I don't know if something gets messed up on occasion but I had the same issue the first time I tried it. I started using a HoneyBun ROM and then decided to give it a second chance. This time through It's been much better for me. I only dropped about 10% battery after 12 hours so far...granted some of that was overnight.

I noticed when my battery was bad like that my phone was heating up more than normal when charging, but it hasn't done that this time around either...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ajftl:
anyone having the camera problem where u cant see but it actually snap the pic? nothing show up when u open cam but it does actually takes pic? any one?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] skola28:
Surely after 159 posts, you'd know to read the opening post for this?

Also, I would recommend, before posting bugs, to do a search, in this instance, for "Camera" within this thread.

Camera preview has never worked in the stock camera app.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hintzilla:
a lot of people are seeing that problem ;)

from the first post:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] etnpnys:
I flashed the RC0 and Google apps 91v3 right over my existing Test4 (the first one) and Google apps 85.

I'm still having the market force closes. The next thing I guess for me is to wipe everything and install them both fresh, but I dunno. My GPS is working better, the LED seems to be fixed, the Monocle feature in Yelp worked for me for the first time ever last night, the camera has 5MP working, and everything else seems to be intact.

As far as the camera thing goes, I am not experiencing the same issue with Camera Magic, but I think I'm going to stick with the stock camera app with no preview because it now has the 5MP working.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] asmith001:
Finally got everything running like I want it to with CM6, but then another problem arises, ha. I am running a very quick and responsive rc0 with FRF91... GPS is working flawlessly, market apps are showing like they should, no FC's, etc. But now that I got it all straight, the youtube app shows no video, only sound. Has anyone else seen this problem? Is there a fix? If anyone has mentioned this, I just overlooked it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zeropants:
I went into applications and it looks like everything I have ran since i last restarted my phone is still running. Am I going to have to force stop an app every time I close out or should I use an app killer with this rom?

[Hero CDMA Android Development] matthewjulian:
Well, I gave it a shot! Flashed yesterday around noon, I really did like it, my hero just felt...lighter, like it was not bogged down(guess thats thanks to no sense!), but sadly I still dont feel it is functional enough to use as my daily rom, I use my visual voicemail and quite a few others I use kept force closing a few time before staying open, but I will say when a final build is released I am going back, but for now its back to Fresh 2.3.3!

Awesome rom, hope its finished soon!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] itrackit:
thx for the reply. so just flash, get everything set up right and the just re-flash the rom on top?

[Hero CDMA Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
Wow dude ... thanks for the help.

Since downloading this rom, I have paid WAY too close of attention to this forum, and I saw the "fixes" that others have found. Just like every other single fix that exists on this entire forum, what works for some people doesn't work for others (hence, I try many). Example: tried the wipe/flash damage/reinstall cm6 fix for GPS and didn't work ... but doing the same with ZenEXP did! Tried the flash test4, dl handcent, flash rc0 fix ... and didn't work. So I keep trying.

When someone has a question that I can provide help with, I do so. Otherwise, these forums are just pointless puffery that drive people to iPhones. You took time out of your life to provide a completely useless posting on a forum ... why? Try being constructive next time.

If anyone has alternative ideas regarding getting both to work ... I would appreciate them.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zeropants:
I rebooted to recovery, did a factory wipe, davlik wipe, then flashed the rom again.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] subcypher:
Cool story, bro. Feel better?

Ok thx. Just reinstall again is not what i was hoping for but will try it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
Actually ... yeah. I realize you were most likely being completely sarcastic, but sometimes a person just needs to rant when he is looking for honest assistance with a problem that has been bugging him to no end and finds a smug jackass eager to answer with nothing but a cockeyed smile. I know the protocol, and I understand that people assume that you don't search and exhaust all avenues before asking questions (because most people don't).

Now ... enough distractions. While I still can't get both to work, I can settle for not having GPS for now. I'll just kinda hold hope for RC1.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] allpapajohn:
Just have to say that I have been lurking here for quite some time. But by this point this thread has become more than useless. Over the past week I have read every post that has gone up and guess what people? All questions have been answered multiple times by page 50 or so. Then RC0 is released. Of which you would only know if you had gone into the IRC channel. And if you knew well enough how to get your info and ROM from there you would know how to solve problems for yourself.

I for one am grateful for the hard work and talent that has gone into making this ROM into what it is today. I know better than to ask for ETA's. These are people with lives that have other things to do.

Lastly RC0 is running perfectly for me. I have had no FC issues with anything except for camera but I know that is an issue already so I don't complain. Flashed in GS 91 and the collin battery tweak. When I went to bed last night after 12 hours I had 60 percent battery left. With all sync left in place.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] runningslow:
XDA won't let me post links, yet, but its hiding in the first post of the Darkdroid v2.7 "KangSlayer" thread.

To install without needing a PC, if you're already rooted:

[I'm simplifying the instructions I found elsewhere.]

1. Download the .img file to your SD card. (i.e. RA-Darchstar.img).

-MAKE SURE THE RECOVERY IMAGE IS FOR YOUR PHONE.

2. Open a Terminal window.

3. Type the following (with hitting enter at the end of each line):

su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/name-of-recovery.img

Note: In the above text, replace name-of-recovery.img with the name of your recovery image (make sure the .img is on the end).

4. Phone should pause for a second and then show you a new blank line. Turn it off and back on by holding down Home and Power to ensure it flashed correctly. Done.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] richse:
I think you are misinterpreting the percentages. What is shown in the battery usage screen is relative power consumption between apps calculated from how much battery has been used since it was unplugged. Therefore, it could be that froyo is much better at preventing the android system from using up the battery so that the screen % is much higher in relation to the programs running. These are not absolute numbers so you need more information.

In case this isn't totally clear I'll try to give an example. My phone has been unplugged for 6 hours and I am at 75% battery (with some moderate usage). The battery usage screen is showing display at 70%, Android System at 7%, Cell standby at 6%, and a bunch of other stuff at less than 5%. So far this battery life is better than I had with Fresh 2.3.3 so the data would suggest that the energy consumption of the software is lower in froyo thus leading to an inflated % for the screen. This does not mean the screen is using up more power than with other Roms. For that to have been the case, I expect my battery life would be lot worse.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jakejm79:
+1

For example:

After 10 hours you are at 60% battery left with this ROM and your screen has used 80% (from the battery usage screen) therefore the screen has used 32% of the battery so far (100 - 60 x 0.8). In Fresh your screen may only show using 40% but after the same 10 hours your total battery remaining is only 20%, (100 - 20 x 0.4) means your total draw for the screen is still 32%.

This would make sense since the power draw of the screen is pretty ROM independent (backlight still draws the same amount, etc).

Since the battery usage screen shows percent and that has to add up to 100%, if the ROM is more efficient and the Android System draws less power, then something else going to show a higher percentage despite not drawing anymore power.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] subcypher:
Exactly. The screen, in my opinion, should be on top. It's a power hog and that's a fact. I was happy to see all the work that went into this ROM put that back on top.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] subcypher:
I understand that feeling, man. Yes, I was being sarcastic, but not just at you. I was also being sarcastic at the people that feel the need to post useless "help". My sarcasm towards you was directed at the futile nature of your post trying to change that.

That being said, I can do without GPS for now as well.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dhero1:
Actually - I provided a constructive answer (although I suppose you might not agree, like, for example, I might not agree with just how closely you've been following this thread when you ask does anyone have a camera preview problem) and then I removed it as someone else had beat me to the same already ...

Here's the first response to your question ...

But this is getting silly. No hard feelings to anyone, we should dedicate this thread to problem-solving and not mindless bickering. Let's just enjoy the fantastic work these guys keep doing.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jwissing:
you know...

I rarely post in these forums as I use them mostly for reference in my endeavors with my Hero. But I do have to thank the dev's that have been working so graciously on these/this rom. I don't like reading posts within my reference searching that are nothing but blunt and mindless bickering. Can we just all get along? I understand we all have different troubles within these forums, searching for answers/fixes to our problems, but it does not mean that it has to get hostle.

Once again, thank you to the developers who put more time than they probably should into creating these wonderful "upgrades" to our pitifully(already) old hero's.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] jvermillion:
I'm not sure if this question was already answered, but I had the same issue and it was fixed after I moved Swype from the SD card to internal storage. I also had the issue with neostylo keyboard, and the same fix worked. Apparently this ROM doesn't like IMEs and widgets to be stored on the sd card.
