not rooted?

Hi

This may be a stupid question, but I need to figure it out. I have been using CM6.0 RC1 for the last month w/o any major issues (except GPS). Yesterday, I tried to setup wireless tether and it says I don't have root access.. I am sure I checked this out when I first installed CM6 and it worked. Now even Rom Manager is complaining about root access. The question is how can I lose root access ?

I have nandroided back to another rom every once in a while to check work email (nfinitefx's 2.1 rom). Once or twice I may have updated the PRL/profile when using that ROM.

How can I get back root access/wireless thether.

I have AMON_RA 1.52 recovery (if that makes a difference).

Many Thanks!

this is an issue i have run into when restoring nandroid backups as well, best thing i can suggest is restore the backup then flash the .zip without wiping data it has been working well for me as a work around

CPU stuck at 480?

Some weirdness I've been experiencing with the 9/7 nightly and the default kernel. I'm wondering if someone can tell me if its the kernel or the OC widget that might be the cause of this...

I have my screen on settings at 768-480* and screen off at 384-245. If the min screen on settings is at 480 or below, the phone stays at 480 - no movement up or down. If I set the min higher, like 518, the CPU speed up or down based on need as one would expect. I'm trying to set the screen on min setting as low as possible to conserve some battery life.

Is anyone else having the same problem with the 9/7 default kernel or with the OC widget with any kernel? I'm trying to see if I should upgrade to Dec's kernels or just use Set CPU instead. Any advice? TIA.

No I haven't, is it on the market or just have find it online somewhere.

I use badaboom since it is one of the few programs that uses CUDA, has several preset profiles, the one for the Blackberry Bold should work fine for the Hero.

Star Trek Movie Conversion

Hey Crash, are you trying to convert from a DVD or is it already some type of video file ie (avi,divx,xvid,mov etc...)? Because the conversion programs are going to be different depending on the source.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abadasstanker69:
What kernel can be used if we just want to oc to 710?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tomatosoup:
Just don't flash any kernel at all...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abadasstanker69:
So this is set up to allow it all ready? Is it pre oc'd? If not will the oc widget work out of the box?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] andrew378:
in the build i used before this it was already oc'd to 710. not sure for this one, but it should be.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tomatosoup:
Please read
[Hero CDMA Android Development] unCoRrUpTeD:
Not as hard as getting used to all the changes made from 1.5 to 2.1.

All of darch's roms are stock OC'd at 710Mhz You can use setCPU or OC widget and clock up to 768..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tejasrichard:
Thanks again darch and co. for all the work you doods have put in. You doods deserve a medal or sumfin.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] scsmith_xd:
I have a quick question about moving apps to the SDCARD with this ROM. Should I partition my SD card or not? If so convert to ex2, 3, 4? I've used the ext partition for 2.1 MODS, but not 2.2, yet, and I understand FroYo doesn't use the SD card the same way (a2sd support, etc.).

Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smolck:
Just want to let everyone know the darchdroid signal bar fix works on this ROM great.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wadeheisen:
If you are using the native A2SD capability, you don't need to partition an ext partition. Native A2SD uses Fat32.

I did notice some problems in testing on previous versions when moving apps to the sd card. Anytime I plugged the phone in to copy files to or from the computer, it would mess with the desktop icons (not the app tray ones, though) and some functionality of programs until I reset them. I simply observed which apps it would mess up and moved them back to the phone.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] davec1234:
Hey thread cop, how does his question meet the criteria for a bug report?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] brokentoaster24:
"your holding the iphone wrong. always"

i laughed quite hard :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bk718:
lmao.. i seriously was about to post the same thing.. (adding thread cop and all) its like he is patrolling the posts..

but seriously tomatosoup, it says "bug reports".. asking a question about a2sd isn't reporting a bug..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrinehart93:
I don't think darch meant bug reports specifically... rather he meant it as a vague "don't clutter this thread with simple questions" statement.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] RocStar629:
Got to say albeit a little buggy this is already a vast improvement over sprint stock 2.1
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tomatosoup:
Exactly, there are a ton of people sitting in the irc just waiting to help, it's way faster to get help that way anyways
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bennettchr16:
First of all, thanks for all the hard work.

Im a newb at all this stuff, but for the life of me I can not get the facebook.apk out of the system/app file.

I keep getting the whole read only line when i go to delete. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I searched for a good hour.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] danielt021:
yeah I read it, twice, still says nothing about NOT asking questions....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bk718:
if using root explorer (which is the easiest way) go to the file first, then at the top make sure you have it set to r/w.. if its on r/o u can't delete it.. hold on facebook.apk and select delete... it should give u the option to confirm now
[Hero CDMA Android Development] A_Guy71:
I'm 95% sure this is because the phone isn't waking up properly, its staying within the CPU levels designated for screen off. Download overclock widget and set both the same... you'll notice a difference. This isn't a viable option for me though because I get a lot of FC with overclock widget..and I'm sure it kills the battery.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] spidoman:
You're a saint. (with the correct path of course)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tinfox:
So just to clarify where we are:

Everthing is working expect:

Camera

[Hero CDMA Android Development] Thatonedude:
Camera works, with 3rd party app. (Camera Magic)

GPS is working for me now

I have JIT enabled and the phone is runnin smooth

Market doesn't fc on me with gs91

if you haven't got last night's build try askin in the irc for it, works fine for me
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jus10o:
Like somoene else stated.. camera works but no preview of the pic before taking it. Or use 3rd party app.

GPS works 100% with JIT, just dont use it with BFS kernel

Market works for some.. Use Google ****s 85 and you wont have a single problem, you can push the voice libs from 91 and have a fully working GS.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] skitzo2000:
I see minimal improvement with this. The unlock is a little better, but I still experience a short lag before the lock screen goes away.

as a side note I have JIT and compcache enabled.

running a transcend class 6 card
[Hero CDMA Android Development] daPorkchop:
Sounds like you have FB sync contacts turned off in the FB app. Sounds that way anyway.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] edisonalvarez:
I dont think the GPS is 100% I have issues where it doesnt track where I am and i have to reboot the phone which is a pain. I didnt install the bfs kernel so thats not the issue.

The camera 3rd party app actually is better than stock so I prefer it. I am using the Camera Magic and works just fine.

Other than that....THIS ROM is GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tinfox:
Camera Magic does work... For one picture, the second picture hangs for a few seconds and then I get the spinning circle with "Saving. Please Wait" right now I've been waiting 3 minutes...

I just installed gs91 ( I just updated with the .zip from the recovery rom, didn't wipe or anything) and installed Google Listen and it still crashes. Once right as it finished installing Listen and then a few seconds later it crashes again.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Anonamoose:
Thanks for all the hard work on this ROM and all the others as some one with no skills at all it's nice for a novice like me to rock out custom roms and it's only because of Devs creating new things and communities testing it. TY TY TY. Also, no real issues with this besides the camera/gps. This has been my everyday Rom for a week now...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] platinumrug:
One thing I will say, is that I get some amazing battery life on this ROM.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] eagles16:
what is you set up? widgets etc data ? because i lose about 1% per minute :/
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smackfreek:
same here this rom KILLS my battery so much that I couldn't take it anymore and went back to 2.1
[Hero CDMA Android Development] eagles16:
i had to move back also
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tinfox:
Thats so weird. My battery is definitely better on this ROM.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jkap310:
I am thinking about trying out this ROM, anybody know when the final build is coming about or is this going to be the test version for a little while? I just don't want to wipe and install everything and set everything up and 10 minutes later the next build of this ROM comes out :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smolck:
Yea, I've had a mixed bag of battery issues myself with this one. However, since using blackmod 2.2 theme, it seems to have gotten better. I dunno. I am hopeful that it will improve with future revisions. But honestly, this rom is so good, I'll spend the money on an extended battery if I have to. No going back after being spoiled with all these goodies!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrinehart93:
I can say right now, that it is not the ROM at all. How do I know this? Because I've been using SMODA widget to turn off 3g/data when I don't need it. How long has my battery lasted me so far? FOUR DAYS. That's WITHOUT calibrating the battery. Just downloaded SMODA widget and use it to turn your data off when you don't need it... you'll love it.

I use Xilisoft Video Converter Ultimate. Its pretty much the best one I have found that converts all sorts of formats even .mkv to any smart phone output you want.

http://www.xilisoft.com/video-converter.html

You can find a good copy of it on btjunkie if your interested.

IF you have any questions, let me know. I pretty much know all there is to know about this kind of stuff. Hope this helps.

Don't install them from the market if they are on your phone and work fine... in fact, it's pretty likely that the market would say install failed if you tried :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dean.d:
You can download vuze and convert from there. It has android support so you can download and send it to your phone via usb. I was unaware that cm6 doesn't support avi because the stock 2.1 did.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] asoong:
Really? I tried RockPlayer without any success. What did you use to play avi files?:confused:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] CrashV2010:
Great idea/set of questions that I have started, lol !!!

But this is great if more and more ppl pick at froyo, the better froyo will be for all !!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] CrashV2010:
Video's up and running with doubletwist.... WOOT WOOT !!!! Thanks Guyz !!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dean.d:
To asoong

On stock 2.1 I just transferred the avi to the SD. Then I went thru andexplore and opened the avi. It played thru the stock video player. This was one of the first things I did when I got my hero and it worked. Come to think of it, I was on 1.5 then.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] asoong:
I'll have to take your word for it cuz there's no way I'm going back to a sense rom - I like CM6 too much :D

I always thought android only supported mp4s and H.264 (or whatever) but not avi (M$) or mov (Apple) so we had to spend time converting. Oh well, I learned something new today....

@Crash - TMML and congrats on doubletwist...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] CrashV2010:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] norm12:
has anyone gotten 9-17 to work yet? I'm getting boot-loops just like 9-15 again...did a full wipe of cache and dalvik and flashed it with an uncapped kernel and without. It didn't load using darch's 1.7 recovery and its loading with 1.6.2 either. any thoughts?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] CrashV2010:
It might need an update on the black mod end, did you load flash 9/17 without putting the black mod on it ?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] james33440:
I had boot loops also with 9/17 nightly.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] norm12:
I did it with and without. neither way worked.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] CrashV2010:
interesting !!!!!!!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] norm12:
just a little irritating...what's new in tonight's? I feel like I'm missing out, I'm still on 9-12---its running great with dec's #14 and I really enjoy it, but I don't want to be stuck on a nightly if/when the final version comes out
[Hero CDMA Android Development] CrashV2010:
I have no idea really what is new with them, but I'm also on 9/13 and this is getting somewhat discouraging if the nightlies aren't getting out of boot-loops. But in a big way the current build that I'm on is really working well for me.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] norm12:
I agree, I'm thrilled with the performance, battery life, and function of 2.2 on the 9-12 nightly, but I can remember how big a difference it was between say 8-23 and 8-31 and I want to keep getting those bug-fixes. I have gotten so spoiled with daily updates!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
Have yet to run into a boot loop with the nightlies. 9/17 works great for me, as did 9/15.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] norm12:
what recovery are you using, are you using any mods or kernels? I'm wondering if I don't have enough battery power? It was at least 40-ish when I started
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
Stable kernel #14, and using Darch's Unofficial RA_Amon 1.7 recovery.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] norm12:
I'll probably try it again tomorrow. do you have setcpu or oc? I'm using oc and wondering if that's an issue
[Hero CDMA Android Development] CrashV2010:
Maybe thats the little difference, lol !!!
