I flashed the Black Bar Mod and it says to change the clock, data, etc colors in spare parts, but the one preloaded with this rom doesn't have any color options. I downloaded spare parts from the market thinking it was updated, but now i have a 2nd spare parts install with more settings but still no color settings. I checked the CyanogenMod settings and unless I'm missing something i only managed to change the text color in the pulldown notifications, so the clock is still black. Mail, wifi, signal are white though.

Any ideas?

EDIT: nvm, i had a brainfart, clock color can't be changed in either of my spare parts but i overlooked it in CyanogenMod.

AFAIK, 3D Gallery is the stock pics app. You must be thinking of the Photos app which is Sense only.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DominoDoug:
If you do a little digging in the DD 2.7 forum you can find the 2D apk. Push that apk and remove the Gallery3D.apk and you should be golden.

Actually, only time phone slows now is when Widgets load or market download. Also seem to get stuck on boots after update or backup in Tom Manager. Had to pull battery 3 times this morning after backup before it booted.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rockypr:
What is the Status of this ROM?

Whith all the updates I want to know what is working, what's not, if still the same as the first release. Beacuse they don't have any Changelog every time they Update.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DominoDoug:
My phone bogged down real bad today. I checked my autokiller processes and the system was leaving multiple activities I wasn't using open. I usually run around 70mb free, when I checked I had 12mb free. I had to manually end about 4 activities.

Sent from my Hero One.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cirehawk:
Same here. So just for the record, is this site being updated to the latest build even though the name of the download remains the same?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] METHOD1911:
Me to so confused
[Hero CDMA Android Development] iliapiano:
i don't know if it has anything to do with what's going on with you guys but my advanced task killer, can't kill messages app for some reason
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PRGUY85:
I'm using the latest release on the IRC (7/30 I think). Location is fixed for me although the new Google Maps update had something to do with that. I am going to test it for a while with JIT enabled. Do you guys leave Automatic Brightness ON and if you do, how does it affect your battery life?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] METHOD1911:
I keep mines off JIT works perfect and I'm using the collins battery tweak and my phone is running crazy fast
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PRGUY85:
Have you seen any noticeable advantage in using JIT vs not using it?

And what is the collins battery tweak? An app?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chuckd29:
Didn't work for me. Bummer.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] METHOD1911:
Correction keep mines on JIT with the collins battery tweak set to 768. Phone running the best I ever seen smooth real smooth and fast. Its a tweak from this website. Really good to.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] K@ng2011:
On the first page.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DominoDoug:
A little 2¢ from me (if you need the feedback) . I had GPS working quite well with no glitches for the past two days with the dog update. The rom appears to be coming along great. Nice work. Only problems on my end were the oblivious camera problem and I was having wake lock issues later into the day. It seemed like processes weren't shutting down. Quite a few were staying active and eating up the CPU.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] brokentoaster24:
Latest build is amazing :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] METHOD1911:
Ok im confused where do I get will eat your dog im currently running not my dog to from the irc.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mquinn24:
I corrected the name in that post. Sorry for the confusion.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cirehawk:
Huh? Still no one is answering the question of where to get the latest build? The download on the cyanogen site always has the same name. Is this being updated to the latest even though the file name remains the same?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jedis:
Thanks so much. For anyone else looking to ditch the slow, buggy 3d gallery, the 2d gallery can be found here!

Market Crashing

Installed latest ROM and the market wont start. Sometimes it acts like it will, but then it goes back to the home screen without any error message.

*EDIT Saw the market fix on page one. Will try that first.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jedis:
I seem to be getting double notifications for text messages. Hoping someone can help me track this down.

I get the green bubble smilie from the Messaging app, but I also get a white envelope. I don't have an app installed explicitly to do this, so am going to post a list of my apk's and hope someone can point out the culprit!

Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!

Market Fix

Okay, installed the market fix and still no market. Starts then goes back to desktop. Even did a full wipe on phone and it still wont work.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jakejm79:
That is your culprit, either disable notifications in the stock app or the Beautiful Widget's SMS Widget app.

Market issues, etc.

I'm running the latest build and the latest GAPPS (I think) as of 7/31/2010.

First, this is a very fast rom, and I'm looking forward to the polished version, but right now I like this version enough to use it for a while even with the temporary problems!

Problems:

The market installed a ton of apps, but there are many that won't install. Ironically, the XDA Developer App is one that the market is unsuccessful installing. The last 6 apps I tried to install have been unsuccessful. However, 50 apps did install. I'm not sure what to do, suggestions?

"Gallery" app won't allow to be moved to SD Card.

"Contacts" app won't allow to be moved to SD Card.

"Rom Manager Premium" wont install (unsuccessful install). I refunded because of that.

"Camera" doesn't work, or hardly works, it is very hit and miss, mostly miss, freezes up, useless in this state. I tried to download 4 different camera apps, hoping to work around this problem, but all of the camera apps were unsuccessful downloads, could not get one of them to download properly.

The phone is very fast with this build, but it does have its lag moments, such as when typing a text or email. It moves fast, then slow, then fast, then slow, freezes a moment, then continues. I have JIT enbabled. I tried enabling compcache, but it seemed to cause severe lag in the phone, so I don't use compcache.

Any suggestions for working around the downloads problem with the market?

Any suggestions for the camera issue?

Thanks

Try deleting the market data
[Hero CDMA Android Development] RocStar629:
Ok, is it really that hard to read any of the 14 million posts in this thread that all say the camera doesn't work and that camera magic is the only app that is working right now? Try flashing the market fix on the first page for your market problems. Or better yet try reading the first page as all of your problems have been answered there. Sorry for ranting but I'm tired of lazy ppl not reading b4 they post.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Triptic:
Is there no g-sensor calibration in 2.2? Or am I missing it?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PRGUY85:
What is the general consensus on enabling JIT and compache? Do they improve performance in any way or the opposite?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] halrulez:
I ran tests on them off and on in all variances and it shows well say least on mine that it its faster with both on. Try it out on yours only real way to tell

Sent my FroYo Hero
[Hero CDMA Android Development] miguelfp1:
I'm having the same problem, tried deleting the Market data three times already and still no worky... (I flashed over one of the cat builds)

also getting a ton of random reboots when apps freeze, anyone else with that problem?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] davec1234:
I was having a ton of trouble with WB. I had google maps on sd, moved it back to phone and problems went away.

See if it works for you.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] METHOD1911:
Anyone use darktremor
[Hero CDMA Android Development] d12d:
I've noticed this too. My phone will have very low memory and lag. Anyone else seeing this or know of a fix?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] xxassassinxx:
My taskiller keeps leaving a few process' open but its not too bogged down
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jedis:
It's been posted that you have to keep automatic screen rotation turned on to stop the lag. Kinda weird, but true.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jedis:
Try pushing the Camera Magic apk to the phone. Works fine here. I attached it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] duffkitty:
I was getting a few bog Downs but some things I've done to alleviate the problems were these.

Disable Jit, apparently jit causes things to use more ram which our phone doesn't have lots of anyways so tends to make our phone clear apps from memory more often.

Disable compcache. Probably a similar reason... It's experimental anyways but after prolonged use it slowed my phone down a bit. Probably because it tries to stuff more things into ram.

Perhaps a swap partition may help if you have a class 6 sdcard, I still use the stock 2 gig class 2 so swap wasn't helping me much. Try a 128 Meg or more swapspace.

Ymmv.

I'm still debating whether to turn off JIT/Compache. Would like to hear what darch recommends on this issue.

Could beautiful sms be the problem?

Yeah, that was it. I didn't install it, just the widgets and some other pack. Musta been included with it.

Chinese fonts?

Hi kinda new here, but was able to run this rom fairly smooth! however, there's one problem. I can't seem to read any chinese fonts, either in the OS or on the web.... tried looking for any language packs to add, but so luck... so any one has any ideas? Thanks!

Helpful Ranter is an OxyMoron

Sorry RocStar629 - Sorry you had to take some of your psychological frustration out on someone by ranting, even at a stranger, but then it would take maturity to avoid doing that and clearly that is something that so far has evaded you. Maybe someday it (maturity) will catch up with you and you will find out what it means to be non-judgmental and helpful. In the meantime, keep your posts to the subject and avoid "Ranting" (your own words) at anyone on this forum.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] reaver18:
I'm having insane memory leaks. After the phone is running for about ten minutes my memory will get down to 12mb before the phone shuts it self off. and autokiller no longer works. wtf is going on?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jasonlefever:
I'm having the same problem with memory, my phone goes EXTREMELY slow after having only one or two apps open. I haven't had it to the extent of your problem with shutting down, though. I haven't tried using an auto memory killer either. I always had bad experiences with them.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] androidus:
Thank you duffkitty

Thank you duffkitty for the helpful explanations. The phone is working much better now.

I have a class 4 card (not class 6), I'm using a 64mb swap, turned off compcache, kept running JIT, and have 50mb avail internal storage. Now the phone seems to be running smooth, not lagging. The battery usage is 12 hrs since charge and 66% battery remaining; better than battery usage with the 2.1 roms I tried.

Love this Rom!!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] reaver18:
autokiller worked fine until I did the last update. I've had too many problems with this 2.2 build I think I might go back to 2.1
[Hero CDMA Android Development] androidus:
Did this option correct the internal to SD app swap function?

I'm not sure what made the difference, but at first I could not get internal storage to increase by changing apps from internal to SD card. Then, it seems the problem of internal storage app swapping might have been solved by changing a developer setting, but I have no idea what the setting really does or what it effects. I found that "allow mock locations" was enabled in Development. I disabled it. Then the function to move apps from internal mem to SD card started working properly. I can't be sure what made the difference. To change it: Settings -> development -> disable "allow mock locations."

Any idea if this is related? Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jasonlefever:
Yeah, the build before this (in my opinion) was a lot better memory wise. I'm not sure why the memory might be acting up on this update.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] d12d:
Thanks for tip and I'm sure it helps however I have this turned on. My phone still has moments of lag. I think its related to the memory leaks that some other people are having. Regarding the screen rotation while cool is too touchy and just kinda becomes a hastle.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] reaver18:
yeah I have a lot of issues with the screen rotation. it's incredibly slow and a lot of times will rotate to landscape when I'm holding the phone upright. But that's not a big deal compared to the memory leak problem right now.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] androidus:
Thank you Jedis for Camera Magic app

Thanks for the Camera Magic app, I'm pushing it to the phone SD card, but not sure how to install. How do I install a pushed apk?

Thanks!

Instead of using "adb push [apk]", do "adb install [apk]" or get a free file manager like Estrongs File Manager and click on an apk to install it

I am running the current version of WBE, i started getting random FC's so much that i had to uninstall the app. I updated to the newest CM6 rom and the FC's have calmed down a little bit. I still get the occasional FC but now the app will keep current weather and i can look at the forecast a little bit before it fc's on me so i am keeping on my phone for now.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] caliboy99:
I have beautiful home and it is keeping everything current, I am running the newest build of BW. My only prob with the app is i cant get the new unlock animations to work. OH and i am running the most current version of cm6. I did however have problems with the weather sticking on the older of BW running on cm test4.

partial correction for market problem

The market app download problem has been partially corrected. The original problem was that it would download apps, but would be unsuccessful at installing them. I looked at Settings ->CyanogenMod settings -> Application settings ->Install location -> (this is where you choose either Automatic, Internal or External. I had it set on External, but switched it to Automatic, and that seemed to fix the market problem - now the apps will download and install properly from the market.

The problem now is that new apps are installing to my internal phone storage, rather than to the SD card, and I'm down to 40mb avail internal storage so I'm not sure how good a solution this is, but it is better than flat out being unable to install apps, at least for now.

Any suggestions on how to fix this? Anyone else have this problem or experience?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cuatillo1:
for the newest update do i have to wipe and (or) nandroid..? im running cm4.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] x99percent:
If you are currently running CM4, you are probably in the wrong forum.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] liquidtenmillion:
Go to the cyanogenmod settings and make sure that "allow application moving" is enabled. Then go to settings -> manage applications and click the app you want to move to sd and choose "move to sd".

2.2 Camera

All if you absolutely need to use the camera and are not fond of Camera Magic as an additional App---- You can take pictures if you go through the Gallery and Pictures will load to the gallery, you can also review pictures and they are CRYSTAL CLEAR This is no fix by any standards but it is a workaround.

Gallery--> Camera Icon--> Camera Button :D Cheese when you return to the gallery your images will be saved

P.S. Camera Magic Sucks and this is way better!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] markus_del_marko:
any eta or word on a possible final build? or do we have to wait to port it from another device?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] K@ng2011:
Everyone is waiting on the Legend to upgrade to 2.2 as it has the same processor as the Hero. We cannot 2.2 from EVO or Desire because they are optimized for the 1000MHZ Snapdragon Processor. There is a possibility that we can achieve port from EVO but the work would be tremendous so we wait....Hopefully this Week!!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] markus_del_marko:
i just don't get why htc didn't give us 2.2 in the first place. dumb ass people!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] platinumrug:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] jeremib:
They want you to buy a newer phone.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] markus_del_marko:
i did, for a week and sold the evo because of the crap battery life. i like the hero's size, just wish it were faster.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] RocStar629:
Thank you androidus for responding to my ranting, by ranting. In retrospect maybe I could have been more helpful than I was, but the point that I was trying to make is this; the devs have put a lot of work into getting froyo to work correctly on our heroes and they have been nice enough to share with us the fruit of that labor. So when you have people, myself included, who don't know how to develop firmware for phones of course you will have questions. The difference is I have read every single post in this topic. I know every question that has been asked and I know (thanks to someone helpful) the answers to those questions. So excuse me when I say that I find it annoying as hell that some people can't just read a friggin post before asking the same questions over and over. I apologize if this offends you.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] caliboy99:
If you mean the test4 build than you can do a nandroid for safety and just flash newest rom over it. Thats what i did and everything went perfectly. the only thing i had to redo is the signal fix.

Is there a fix for poor signal I usually only get one or two bars? Thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] caliboy99:
search this thread and youl find it, you will need metamorph to apply it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ssolomon:
What would metamorph have to do with a weak signal? I thought that was for themes.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tomatosoup:
The low signal isn't really low signal, it just looks like low signal
[Hero CDMA Android Development] danaff37:
Android is built originally for gsm, and cdma is a much stronger signal in the first place, so what may be low signal on gsm is still strong on cdma, hence the meta morph fix. It changes the signal bar pics so that it changes bars later than normal.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jedis:
Link for the lazy

All it does is increase the visual signal bar by one... so if you have 0 signal, it is going to show 1 bar with this mod.
