You can't update prl from cm6, you need to do it from a sense based rom. I have a nandroid of fresh 2.4 just for this purpose.

CM6 Android 2.2.1 Froyo Darchstar

Radio 2.42.01.04.27

*Bite me Sprint!

just flashed nightly 80 and home/search keys don't work.:( going to try again and see if it was a bad flash.

this was a full wipe also.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] aoaleman:
These nightlies are getting better and better! Thank you so much for all of your hard work! :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] revcp:
Yes to enabling, but the 1.56 versions may have "expired". Try this one:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
No problem! Do you want to change the density to 140?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] asoong:
FYI, I received an email from Swype saying the old beta is/will expire and to download the new version. My version is 2.4.44.10912.t100 and it works great! You probably just need a newer apk. HTH.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Swype apks should not be posted here on XDA per the forum rules... please nobody post the apk. Thank you!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
What settings should I put to have this rom as fast as possible?

a.k.a autokiller or no?

and cache size or compcache ?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nimitz87:
I appreciate it while it lasts...thank you.

I reflashed and rewiped and now everything is working BUT I'm running the blackmod for cm6 stable and everything is themed but the news/weather widget, any ideas?:confused:

Chad
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
I would use autokiller on strict or aggressive, and only use compcache if you have a class 6 sd card :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
What about VM Heap size ? :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
You could try theming it, or try my black gold theme, it has a themed news and weather widget ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
I would leave it at 16 unless you are having some lag, then I would bump up to 24 :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Brandito:
i can't get into the beta to save my life.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] revcp:
Yep. It's pretty much impossible. I even emailed them a few times and received no response. Too bad. Great app.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
They've stopped distributing the beta I believe... I think they actually stopped a few months ago. I've tried it, and to be honest I didn't like it much.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
Okay I'm sorry to post such a ridiculous question, but I just read the last 20 pages and didn't really see an answer. Forgive me.

I was a nightlies addict until stable came out, but have been on it since then because (a) blackmod stopped being updated, and (b) my wife hated my relentless obsession with my phone. I was simply curious what benefits I could obtain by installing the latest nightly. Anyone willing to list them out? I'd be much obliged.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
I believe the nightlies have improved on the gallery issues, and I update my black and gold theme usually every night for the nightlies if you'd like to try it?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] izanagi:
Hahaha I like this, and have the same question.. it's a "what have I been missing?".

:)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] lilmikeyv:
Yeah, I saw in another post to use root explorer. I tried, believe it was said to change the bottom two from 160 to 140 I just couldn't figure out how to change it...any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
That's correct... long press the file with root explorer, hit edit text. Change the bottom two to 140, and then hit menu, save and exit. Just reboot and you'll be good to go!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] lilmikeyv:
Sweet...that worked...thank you again!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Rivas123:
What does this due exactly?

Nvm I tried it. Have to get used to it but I like the way my phone looks. Can I play around with the numbers? I don't know the limits in which i can go to? Like 160-what?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
For our hero, 160 and 140 are really the only nice supported densities

Sent from my HTC Hero running froyo: take that, Sprint!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jmartin72:
What file are you talking about editing to change the densitiy
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] cordell12:
I see, the screen gets sharper than what it is already! Is there a thread to search for that will give a step by step for this? And set to 140, correct? What are the settings now, I think the scree loks pretty good already. Of course I came to the Hero from the Instinct. Remember it was dubbed "iphone killer" lmao!!! What a joke. Maybe if the would gave open sourced that phone it could been a little something. My wife and I spent $400 a piece for that sorry paper weight of a phone :)

Are we married to the same woman?

I flashed like a demon for weeks and then kept the "stable" for some time, but eventually decided to try a nightly to see whether BT voice dialing had been fixed (gallery fix was far less important to me). So I flashed #73 (the first nightly with the new nomenclature). Lo and behold, I got back BT voice dialing and everything else seemed at least as good as CM6 (including a stronger, quicker GPS lock).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Rivas123:
Thanks yet again.

And one last thing, how can I change the font? I read somewhere that it was possible and I would really like to try Ariel font on my phone with the 140 density. If you can direct me to where I should look it'll be very helpful.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cordell12:
Under system I am not finding build.prop I do have a default.prop under system. Would/could it be in a folder under system?

Thanks

all that default.prop says is

#

# ADDITIONAL_DEFAULT_PROPERTIES

#

ro.secure=0

ro.allow.mock.location=1

ro.debuggable=1

persist.service.adb.enable=1
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cordell12:
I found it now, build.prop. I am confused though, lowering it from 160 dpi to 140 dpi gives a better picture? I thought the higher the dpi the better the resolution?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jmartin72:
So its like changing the screen Res. on a PC?

Is there a free program you can edit it with?

Edit: NM I got it changed Thanx!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cordell12:
Root explorer is a $4 app found in Market. I am sure you can use ADB to pull the file, edit and push edited file back into phone. I just did it with the Root Explorer method, I really cant see a difference. I edited the 2 density numbers that said 160 down to 140, above the text it had a line of text stating the default is 160, maybe I was to change this to 140 as well?

Thanks :)

Being one can not see a major difference, it may be a performance tweak. With less dot per inch the screen can load and change faster, we can not notice the 20 less dots per inch, but the phone can, performance wise. Yes/No?

UPDATE--- After changing the default to 140 everything has shrunk! Icons, widgets, everything has become smaller. My eyes have a hard enough time seeing these things at 160, let alone smaller! lol Reverting back to 160 for default, leaving densities set at 140 in the meantime.

UPDATE #2--- Changing the default back to 160, leaving densities at 140 didnt change my icons back to regular size. I will have to revert all changes back to 160. I now realize that the black and gold theme was running correctly on my phone, I had thought something was wrong as all icons were smaller, no they were set at 140 :) Is there a way I can run the theme and change them to 160?

Thanks :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 151jcolon:
this is the modified build.prop (density 140) from build 81

unzip an push build.prop to system folder

cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools

adb remount

adb push ./"build.prop" /system

adb reboot

i believe that will delete all his text messages correct? someone mentioned that earlier, it'd be good to add a disclaimer.

on a side note, anyone care to post a screen shot of the phone at a different screen density?

[Hero CDMA Android Development] CrashV2010:
Did you notice in the nightlies you can now download them through the premium Rom Manager...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Brandito:
i did, and it tells you when there's an update now.

wish it didn't insist on flashing them itself, or hiding them deep in a subdirectory as i no longer use clockwork. but it's still easier than the drop box method i had been using, and maybe about the same as just bookmarking the nightly build page.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] CrashV2010:
Ya, so anywhere you are with your phone you can get an update... This might mean that sprint will break out 2.2 for everything, by stock or something..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DanWalker:
can someone help me out, I've searched but not finding what I need. Whenever someone sends me pictures through text I cannot view them. When I try to open them up they flash on the screen for a second and then right back off. Any suggestions would be great.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Osirus71:
Has anyone expirenced getting certain picture texts and then not getting others. I recieved one yesterday from a friend and you can see the picture but ther is a "play" looking button the picture. when you click on the "play" button, it looks like its going to show the picture attached to the text message then just flashes really really quick and back to the text message without ever being able to see the picture. Then i get others, where the picture is showing up perfectly in the message. Just checking to see if anyone had expirenced this "Play" button thing over the MMS picture. Thanks.

EDIT: Just like the previous post, but sometimes I can actually view mine. And like the previous post says, There is a very large "Play" button overlayed on top of the picture. I am going to try to grab a screen caputure of it and post it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] asoong:
Oops - thanks for the info.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] asoong:
An alternative is shapewriter. Its no longer on the market so it took me a little while to figure out how to get it so here were my steps.

Go to shapewriter's site (shapewriter.com, i think)

Go to the forums

Look for the thread "shapewriter is off the market"

go to page 4

use the QR code.

same here, but it's not pictures, it's slide shows. can you confirm that the pictures have a play symbol over them?

pictures alone open fine for me, it's the slideshows that are busted.

You guys should try 141. I was playing around a little and noticed this setting doesn't mess with Widgets so bad.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 151jcolon:
I'm using lpp to resize the widget. But I'm gonna try 141
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Flip260z:
I am using 120 for my dpi density and it is awesome. LPP with the resizable grid and Widgets is pretty sweet. Feels like my PC (phone) went from like 800x600 to 1920x1080. Lol now stock phones look huge :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dhero1:

Not a problem man, just letting you know :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Dread 7us:
+1 - Only way I can view them is to save attachment to SD card. A lot of mine though just have a download button which fails to download. Some do come through imbedded. I tried the Froyo MMS fix too.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Brandito:
forgot to mention i also get the download button that does nothing.

glad to see i'm not the only one experiencing this, sad as it is!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Osirus71:
I think hardly anyone cruses this forum any more. I guess Ill go ask my MMS "Play" button question on the Eris forums like Tazz or maybe even Kaos to see if anybody has had this issue. They are very active in the forums and usually answer your question very quickly. Sas to see that this forum has gone Ghost Town.....

MMS picture messages with a "Play" button over pic

Guys, I have finally figured out why some pics can be viewed through an MMS and some just quickly flash and come back to the origional pic with the "Play" button over it. I guess this mods MMS can not do picture slide showes at the current time. :( If someone sends you a text message with a picture slide show attached, it will not work and just give you the "Play" button over the pictures they are sending you. If someone sends you a text with a single pic attached to it you can view it fine with no problems. Does anyone know if there is a fix to the multiple picture slide show attachment with text? Thanks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Brandito:
hopefully now that people are discussing it the developers will take note and throw us a fix.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dhero1:
Are you running any other kernel or the batt fix? Because I believe the only issue folks have had recently with the GPS and the nightly's has to do with certain optional kernels and Collins batt scripts. The 'stock' CM6 kernel is already OC/UV'd btw.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fender2kx:
No tweaking other than the standard CM6 has been done on this end:[ , I had Collins tweak 5 flashes ago but I have also wiped everything 5 times since then as well ...

This happens to me. On my phone, somehow akmd (the process that controls the phone's sensors) gets out of control and starts taking up 90-95% of the cpu. If you google akmd android you'll see that other people are having the issue, too. I don't think it's a problem with this ROM specifically; more likely an issue with some app, though I don't know how to track down which one is causing it. A fresh wipe should probably fix it entirely, but for now I just kill akmd when it gets out of control and that does the trick.

Let me know if you see akmd taking up battery in your battery usage.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gehlersjr:
Quick question

Are those of you that are having battery drain issues running the setcpu app try to down clock your cpu for normal use. It will run up to 787mhz under demand if not and if you are running widgets and live wallpaper then you are running under demand alot. Use a overclocking software and set max at around 539 or so and if you want it faster while plugged in set up profiles for charging and battery. you will notice a huge difference in battery life... I could litterally countdown with my battery drain running live wallpapers and widgets while overclocked on batteries.. That is the reason our hero's are clocked at 528 from factory, its not because the cpu can't handle a higher speed like a computer its because you are running on batteries. My cpu runs just fine at 789mhz but it will waste the battery..
