For the people that have been having GPS issues: it seems like GPS works just fine, but it's network location that seems to be having a problem... If I turn GPS off and try to rely solely on network location, nothing can seem to get a fix.

Also, I was wondering...it seems that East Asian languages aren't displaying on this build (showing up as squares instead of the usual characters). Any way I can fix this on my own, or is it something that needs to be added by the dev? Korean is an absolute must-have for me.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DanWalker:
can someone help me out a bit, I can't get the "email" app to allow me to retrieve my Yahoo! e-mail. Is there a way to fix that or is there another e-mail app that I can use? I cannot stand having to log into Yahoo through the browser every time. Thanks.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] drtwrk127:
Did you use manual setup ? I had to (to set up a sbcglobal.net account) to change the incoming POP3 server to pop.att.yahoo.com, and the outgoing POP3 server to smtp.att.yahoo.com. Also need to select SSL(all certificates) under security type. See if that helps.

Flashed RC 0 yesterday. Wiped everything and wasn't getting any of the Google apps (gmail, google maps, market, etc.). Re-wiped everything, flashed again, got the same thing. Finally put on the latest Google ****s and that seemed to fix it. I also had the protected apps issue in the market so I couldn't get all my apps. Overall, I generally really liked it, but just didn't think it was ready for prime time.... Seemed very jerky in the application menu (scrolling was not smooth at all), the charge light issue, and it would hang up occasionally coming off a file transfer when disconnecting from my PC (weird, I know).

I was only getting upper 200's when running Quadrant too. I know many are seeing around 400's so I'm wondering if I missed something somewhere. Either way, it's a pretty sweet release, just wasn't for me yet.

Thanks and keep up the great work guys! :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DanWalker:
Okay never thought I would like my Hero as much without Sense, I just thought that was the coolest thing. But after flashing this ROM and playing with it for a few days I LOVE IT! Unfortunately I have to go back to my previous ROM because I am having a lot of little issues that make this ROM a little hard to deal with. I can't wait to get the complete Cyanogenmod ROM, I'm sure it will be perfect. I just don't know how to fix what the little issues I have.

Keep up the good work, looking forward to updates!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] RocStar629:
I know that this is a bit noobish but I want to flash over to the newest release, but I have been running test 4 since it came out and basically have it set up the way i like it. If i do a nandroid and then flash over test 4 without wiping will i retain my apps and such? My apps arent stored on SD (which i should do) but i havent figured out a way to move already installed apps from phone to SD. any help would be appreciated.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] runningslow:
Does anyone else have an issue with the stock music player not reading the artist info from the tags? Everything else seems to get read fine, like track and album name and cover art. So, I've got a bunch of albums from "unknown artist".....

The same thing happens with mixzing, too. Connected to my PC, the same files read correctly as they should.

Started seeing this with test4 and now on RC0.

EDIT: Guess its just me... must be something wrong with the id3 tags on my files.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theandrewgordon:
yeah, if you have a previous version of this, just flash this over it. it will update and leave everything in tacked.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] etnpnys:
Even if we're running the very first Test4 build?

Will just flashing over the ROM and GoogleShits fix the Market force close issues?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jakejm79:
There is also a Yahoo Mail app available in the market now too.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jvermillion:
I flashed RC0 over Test4 and everything is working smoothly, no FC on the Market or anything like that. Also still consistently getting Linpack scores of around 4.3

As far as moving your apps to the SD card, it's as simple as going into Manage Applications, selecting the app you want to move, and touching the "Move to SD Card" button.

Incidentally, since I flashed RC0, East Asian languages are rendering properly. The most annoying issue for me now is the phantom voicemail notification every time I start up the phone. Is this a known bug?

So far what I've noticed:

1) Phantom voicemail notification on boot-up

2) Network location not working (GPS is fine)

3) Camera is still messed up

4) Barcode Scanner won't scan (may be related to the camera issue? Though, Vignette works just fine. Maybe BcS just isn't ready for 2.2 yet)

5) Gallery still occasionally garbles when it rotates.

Otherwise, functioning nicely. Don't need the default camera app to work (I highly recommend Vignette, by the way: http://origs.in/djNloy), and network location isn't too much of a bother. Overall, a very good ROM, suitable for daily use if you're not incredibly picky. I think the final will be out of this world!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smolck:
Can anyone tell me what the main advantage of Froyo is? I was running DarchDroid 2.7 and I flashed to the test 4 build. I liked it, but turns out all the cool stuff was ADW's update and not "Froyo" stuff. My linpack and neocore scores were not any better than DD 2.7 so I went back because DD 2.7 is perfect.

So what's the deal, other than the little android "Helper" and the different google search box, what do we gain?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jvermillion:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-2.2-highlights.html

The biggest benefits, for me, are the ability to install apps to the SD card without the need for a separate program--not to mention how easy it is to switch them back and forth from the card to the internal storage--Bluetooth voice dialing, and a neat little app called ChromeToPhone, which only works with 2.2.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chnzshyguy:
My Exchange also natively works with Froyo now. It used to have certificate errors on 2.1.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] etnpnys:
Great to know - thanx! Were you getting the FCs before flashing?

NOTE: The developer of the app still needs to approve/support this feature in Froyo. If they don't (or you don't update the app to the newest version that does) you will need to enable this in the CyanogenMod settings. I can't remember what the option is exactly off the top of my head, but it's there.

Also note that some apps will not work with the CyanogenMod hack to allow them to be stored on SD card. Shazam doesn't seem to like it, and it's probably best if you keep all widgets on the device locally.

If the barcode scanner isn't working, I'm to assume that all camera functions of Augmented Reality stuff is the same way? Like Yelp's Monocle, Layar, and Wikitude?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TheRonin:
So after running RC0 for the last day, Battery issues seem to have stopped but I still have 50%+ display usage on the battery and now I can't get GPS to stay locked to use navigator.

Anyone know of fixes that may work for now?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smolck:
Interesting. You can do that on DD 2.7 though too (Apps switching and stuff).

So you get chrome to phone and bluetooth dialing, anything else?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] add144:
The only real issue I've come across so far is sending SMS that are over 160 characters; I don't think it's splitting the messages up properly. I don't have MMS, so it could be attempting to send it as a MMS, I'm not entirely sure. As long as I manually send separate messages, no problem, but one long message won't split and go through.

I did notice that the ROM didn't play well with apps restored from Titanium Backup. No real issue, just properly downloaded them from the Market and everything worked fine. Kudos so far.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kermtfrg:
I updated to RC0 last night and now can't get any weather widgets to work, including News and Weather and The Weather Channel. Both of these worked fine with the Test 4 release.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] asmith001:
Just wiped/flashed rc0 and GS91-3... Very fast/stable... love all of the customizations in CyanogenMod settings.

Everything is running pretty good except GPS. I'm not sure what the issue is because many people are saying their GPS is working fine. Mine takes a minute or two to obtain a lock, drops after about 30 seconds, then repeats the dropping/connecting.

I also have the protected apps issue.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] caliboy99:
IMO this app is not that great compared to stock mail apps. Very few setting and seems to update when it wants to.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jakejm79:
Yeah I only played with it briefly, then uninstalled it. Was just pointing it out since I don't believe it has been out too long.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rynet91:
My widgets are not updating with RC0, even when i click on them. I'm thinkin a flash back to test4, RC0 is not looking better at all.

They didn't even fix the gallery problem when rotating ur phone to 90 degrees.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] caliboy99:
to set up stock mail go press the email icon in drawer (i am guessing you have not set up any account yet)

enter email address and password>Select IMAP> SELECT Manual setup> change IMAP server to imap.mail.yahoo.com> change security to SSL> next > change SMTP server to smtp.mail.yahoo.com> change security type to SSL> next.

Then you should be done, just select update frequency. FYI this will not update when you have your WIFI on.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] caliboy99:
True i think yahoo just put it on the market last week sometime. I hope they update it soon with more settings options then i might have to give another chance. Till then ill stick with what i got :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dec3ption:
My GPS does the same on test4..always has :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] davec1234:
I have weather bug elite and am having issues too. I've tried everything I can think of and still get fc all the time.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] davec1234:
I agree. I tested it against K-9 and K-9 always got the mail first.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tomatosoup:
Get handcent sms, go into the options and choose simple 160 split
[Hero CDMA Android Development] johnny15:
When I put RC0 on my phone, Handcent SMS wasn't in the Market. All the font packs were, but the app itself was not. Just what I've seen....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
Im using the modified google news and weather that's available in the dev forum (uses hatch icons and has clear background ). Never had a problem.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dondadah88:
You have to flash the rom on the first page sign in. Then download an app that isn't showing on the new one like launcher pro, or handset, or opera mobile. Just one. Then flash over the rc0 over it and then your fine
[Hero CDMA Android Development] danaff37:
I had the same problem, and tried editing the tags on my pc to no avail, but found when I used mp3 tagger on the market, they worked fine. Just went through every song and hit the little arrow to copy info from tag 1 to tag 2, and it worked beautifully after that.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] blakeatl:
For some reason (a good one) my camera preview works on rc0. Hopefully everything will come about pretty soon.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] INCubed:
Do you mean it that it works for a split second when you rotate orientations?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] arariel:
Absolutely loving this ROM, on rc0 right now, and it's SUPER fast! My only issue (other than known issues) is that when I first booted the device after flashing, it said I had 7 new voicemails... I clicked on the notification to go to my VM, and got some prerecorded message about Helio being bought by sprint, etc. and to press 1 for help with my service, instead of my mailbox. I changed my setting to dial my own number to get my voicemail, and that was fine (Only one message, not 7) ... but now whenever I boot up, it still tells me I have 7 voicemails, even though there are no voicemails in my box. It's not a huge issue, I just click "ignore" and all is well...

(Oh, and I LOVE the default ringtone that came with this ROM... Keepin that for now!)

Hmm.. I'm also finding that whenever I get an actual voicemail... i just get a series of text messages, including an error that says my voicemail couldn't be provisioned. But I can still dial in just fine (Which is a fine work-around for now)

Is there some setting I need to do, to get voicemail working like it should, or some fix? Or is this something that will be fixed in later versions?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] asmith001:
Update: My GPS issue is gone. Maybe someone has an explanation, but I don't really understand it. I wiped/flashed Damage Control today, just for the heck of it. After an hour or so, I was already missing AOSP and Froyo, so I wiped/flashed rc0 again with frf91-3. On my way home, I decided to give Google Maps Navigation another try. Problem completely resolved. GPS held a lock for about 45 minutes. Any ideas?

Sent from my CDMA Hero w/CM6 Froyo.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Telkkar:
Shoot me if I'm wrong, I haven't been following the thread closely.

Someone said a few pages back that JIT affects if you can keep a GPS lock or not. I'm not sure if this is true with the new RC, but I had the same issue with the Test 4 image.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DR.mobbfigga:
How can I get lwp working. I don't care muchh for 3d gallery can I push the fix from darch Droid 2.7
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DiNoise:
Did you scroll all the way down?? Cuz that's what I thought too after installing test4.. Market listed fontpacks and some other stuff first and the actual app was at the bottom of the list.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mikethechap:
Can't open update zip

I am trying to install the RC0 update from test4 but keep getting the error, "Can't open /sdcard/update-cm-6.0.0-Heroc-RC0.zip

I've installed a lot of ROMs but can't recall this error before. I installed the cyanogenmod recovery, which I thought was the preferred version.

I did report it on the IRC yesterday but but didn't see any response.

I also reported it through the cyanogenmod rom manager reporting app.

Any ideas about what I'm doing wrong?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] asoong:
Dumb question but did you try mounting your phone to your PC and opening up the zip to see if the file is corrupt? I had a corrupt zip file that wouldn't flash before. I don't remember if I had the same error message you did but it wouldn't hurt to try. Good luck!

Also, did you mean ClockworkMod Recovery? It should have come with test 4. try using that. Click Install Rom from SD Card option. And if you didn't Flash the ClockworkMod Recovery already, you'll need to do that first.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] davec1234:
I have rom manager which had clockwork recovery, several versions. Which should I use?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] enkode:
Couple of issues:

1. When I am viewing a page and click on a YouTube link, it will not let me click menu and be able to rate and comment on videos. If I go to the YouTube app, and play a video, I can bring the menu up and do my thing..

2. Rom Manager is not letting me download any of the ROMs on the list. I contacted the dev and he said it was a 2.2 problem?? True?

Other than those small issues, this is by far the best ROM i have used so far. Loving this!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] asoong:
Here's what mine says:

Current Recovery: ClockworkMod 2.0.1.3

Latest Recovery: ClockworkMod 2.5.0.1

I've read that there has been some instability with the newer recoveries. Perhaps that's why test 4 had a recovery versions 8 versions back. :confused:

Other's who have successfully upgraded from Test 4 to RC0, please chime in if you know which version would works best.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] asmith001:
That may be a problem, but I had previously flashed test4 and rc0 multiple times with different configuration each time, trying to get gps running. So, I'm pretty sure that wasn't my issue.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] davec1234:
I just had it flash clockwork recovery and it put me at the latest one. I guess I'll try it and work my way backwards if I have issues.

I'll post results.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mikethechap:
Hmm. Dumb question? Didn't someone famous say, "The only dumb question is the unasked one?" That being said, thanks for the response.

I guess the point was this: Was anyone else having difficulty with the download? Good suggestion on trying to extract it. That didn't even occur to me. And no, I was not able to extract it. It seems like others are doing okay with the download, but just wanted to see if this was happening elsewhere?

I did use the ClockworkMod Recovery. And, I did try the install from SD option, choosing the file I noted. That's what makes this crazy. It probably is something dumb.

Thanks again for taking the time to respond.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jtpterp:
I flashed rc0 from the latest clockwork recovery with no problems
[Hero CDMA Android Development] will22:
I flashed Unofficial Amon_RA 1.7 (6-8-10) recovery image. After that i have no problem with navigator!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Triptic:
This one the only way I was able to get access to a lot of the apps on the marketplace. Thanks for the tip.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dondadah88:
No problem. Glad to help.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TheRonin:
I disabled JIT and rebooted and GPS seems to be locking on now.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] asmith001:
Thanks for the info, but it didn't work for me.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
No dice on mine. Guess ill hope for the best with RC1. :/
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Russss:
Is there anyway to fix the protected apps issue without flashing the original rom. Flashing the Original Rom works for me but it makes it so my gps won't stay locked. So right now I have to decide between New/Updated protected apps (I have backups of the ones i use) or consistent GPS.

Thank you
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrtoofresh09:
The Link??

where can i Download rc0
[Hero CDMA Android Development] reaver18:
this rom runs amazing! jit enabled and running great.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stinky634:
OK so I ran this for a full day today, well it only lasted a partial day. I need to ask which optimizations and settings to use to fully lenghten battery life.

Under Performance options, Compache, JIT, Dithering, VM heap, which to enable/disable for best battery?

Syncing is already at minimum with only Google syncing. Display is on manual at <25%. Spare parts doesnt show anything keeping it awake, or anything over using the battery.

I really really love this ROM and want to keep it, but need to optimize my battery to at least last the day.

Edit: Also thought about it, any kernel and/or Radio recommended for this ROM? One that wont mess with GPS?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] weedman91:
so i flashed this rom and noticed my notification led was staying on and that i didnt have the market app. so i cleared data and delvik again and reflashed and now my led isnt staying on but i still dont have the market app. how do i get the market back?

Now to just get network location to work and launcherpro not showing in the market. Also camera doesnt work.

What Doesn't Work

*Preview in the default Camera app

*Video Camera
[Hero CDMA Android Development] drummingfool:
*facepalm*
[Hero CDMA Android Development] adamboyd83:
I think i misunderstood what preview ment. For some reason i thought it was the one in the corner. Just thought these things would have been fixed in releases after a fix was discovered. My bad.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] drummingfool:
lol no worries buddy. I just cant pass up a good facepalm. :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] adamboyd83:
No worries.

Sadly I am at work right now and cant really do much tinkering. I may hold off on this considering the whole network location not working. GPS just uses too much battery seeing as it doesnt work very well indoors. Maybe i will pay some more tonight.

Weirdest thing is my battery is draining while synching. Well its plugged into the computer to charge and I just went back to darchdroid 2.7 and the battery is draining. I dont get it. Its never done this before.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kermtfrg:
Swype

I've installed RC0 and google apps 91. This has made my weather start working again. Now everytime I reboot I lose the ability to use the swype keyboard. The only way to fix is to uninstall and reinstall it. Any ideas?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Triptic:
I stopped using Swype because of that issue. I don't know if it's specific to this ROM, I think it may be a problem with Swype. A slightly quicker but still obnoxious fix is to long press on the field, and change the input method to the Android keyboard and then back to Swype.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] xxproblemzxx:
Theres actually quite a few proteted apps that dont show up in the market. you can either download launcherpro from the launcherpro website or if you can flash the test 4 build then flash RC0 over it. that should get the apps back in the market but skipping builds like that may cause some bugs so nandroid and try it if you want
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dudedude987:
Search the app in browser and download it like you would on your PC, install with favorite file manager. Thats what I've been doing with no problem for the ghost market apps.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] adamboyd83:
Trying that now.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] richse:
Is RC0 a newer build than Test 4? Should I just go download RC0 and flash that or should I start with Test 4?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] agentofboom:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_release_life_cycle

Alpha/beta are "tests", RC (release candidate) is supposed to be almost finished and what is most likely going to be a "Final" build with a few fixes.

Release candidate is a bit misleading here as I don't know that we ever really achieve anything better than "test" releases. Seems there's almost always something to adjust or improve.

'cause we're all nuts.

In this case RC0 is steps forward in some respects and steps backwards in others. So its up to you what problems you want to live with.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] adamboyd83:
Flashed test4 downloaded launcherpro and then reflashed rc0 and everything seems to be working right.
