Man I would kill to have half that battery life. I'm lucky if I make it 8 hours without having to hook to the charger. I have tried so many different set ups and nothing helps. I have just gotten used to it.

You may need a new battery how old is your phone? Most battery's are expected to have a life span of about a year, also when you say you tried different setups did you format your sd card from your computer after each one or only from the phone?

The reason I ask is I have seen a lot of people have issues from performance to battery life because they don't wipe the sd card in between roms. When ever I switch I first format the sd card via my computer and then transfer the new rom onto the sd card so that when I boot to recovery and install the rom the only thing on the card is the update an nothing else.

Then I move my music and pictures and saved apps and what not back over after the new rom is installed. If you haven't done this in the past you might want to give it a try it may fix your issue.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Neo31697:
The phone was bought when it first came out. I I have not formated the card from the computer. Ill try that. Do I have to reinstall the rom again?

Sent from my awesome NFX-HERO 2.2.1
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bdizzel1982:
Not necessarily but I would that way everything starts fresh I would just back up your music,photos, game saves etc and then format and when you reinstall the rom it will recreate all the folders that need to be there by default and you can move back the extra stuff that you need.

Also since you have had the phone since it first came out you may want to look at picking up a new battery there cheap and that could be your problem as well.

Is there a way to figure out if jit is enabled?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bdizzel1982:
You would have to go in and enable it so if you have not done so then the answer is it's not running. :p
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dustinmatthews87:
Haha, I was thinking the same thing but I am getting around 4.8 on linpack and I have not ran the jit script, so I was wondering if there was an adb command or somthing to know if it got enabled some how
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bdizzel1982:
Well I would say you must have it enabled because I just ran linpack and got 2.868, there probably is a way to check but I'm not sure that would be a better question for nfinitefx45
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Neo31697:
Could I leave the SD card in the phone and format it like a mass storage device put the rom on the card and flash or do I have to take the SD card out. The reason I ask is because my card reader is out of commission

Hello,

From what I have seen, all Android 2.2 roms have a bork that only allows the battery to charge to about 95% full. Doing the following should help all who are experiencing poor battery life on this rom:

1) Run the phone until it tells you to plug it in, then run it longer! (try to get it down to 5% or so but for sure under 10%)

2) Charge the phone overnight without using it or anything that would drain the battery other that what it does on it's own. (make sure it is 100%)

3) Re-boot into recovery and wipe your battery stats. Re-boot and run your phone as usual to hard all day. Here is the important part, do not plug your phone into USB or charger until it tells you to.

4) Charge the phone overnight again and you are a go.

This will not cure a bad battery but most of us do not have one. The batteries are Li-Ion so their memory affect is minimized. (but still there)

Hope this helps someone
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bdizzel1982:
Yea you can leave it in the phone thats how I always format mine since I don't have a card reader in my current pc
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bdizzel1982:
That is a very good tip but this is a 2.1 rom :p sorry had to give ya a little grief you made it to easy
[Hero CDMA Android Development] respectagain:
My contacts have no pictures in the messaging app, but their pictures show up perfectly fine under contacts. Is there any way to fix this?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jschill31:
Funny, linked off wrong post... I have been using this rom for over a month and know it is based off of 2.1.:o Most of the new users are comming from some type of CM6 rom, which is what I have been dinkin with all day. (Guess I have 2.2 on the brain) Beleive me when I tell you it was a long day, I am the buyer for 21 stores and I am ramping up for the holiday season. BTW, this can help for anyone who is switching roms regularly.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mozman:
I updated my PRL to 60670. Will update if I notice anything different.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] SammyM00782:
Your ROM sucks! Nah just kidding bud, it's frickin nice. I still have this bs lag with the aosp-android keyboard I flash but every ROM seems to do that. I don't think the light sensor is working properly either but the ROM overall is badass and I'm keeping this baby. Sorry Fresh, it was good while it lasted. JIT has hiccups sometimes but whatever, we're already pushing this little baby further than HTC imagined. Good work man, real good work.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] SammyM00782:
I have that problem sometimes too.....it's odd.

factory data reset

i am new at this i just rooted my hero with the universal root app and this is the first rom i install. had a couple issues at start up started then was searching for service then rebooted itself and came back on. i had dxtop and ahome before as home replacements. does this rom have a launcher? also rosie force closed on me what is that? need a little help guys im new to this. please!

edit* can you do a factory data reset with this rom?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bdizzel1982:
Yea I figured you knew that considering your detailed post just had to give ya a little crap. I also agree it's a good tip I did try out CM6 for a little while but switched back right away as I personally prefer the sense interface and never had any battery issues as it stands I'm still at 46% and my phone has been unplugged since 8:30am so I don't think it would help me much :D but it might help others so I'm glad you provided the tip for everyone.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bdizzel1982:
This rom does not come with a launcher other then sense so if you want something different you would have to install it. Since your getting Roise force closes I would reinstall and since I'm not sure what steps you took to install this rom I will just list them in the order I would recommend.

1) Install ROM Manager via the Market then from within the app install Clockwork Mod Recovery

2) Back up your files you need off your SD Card and then format your SD Card via your computer

3) Copy over just the ROM update.zip and nothing else to your SD Card

4) Boot into Recovery Mode

5) Wipe Data/Factory Reset

6) Wipe Cache Partition

7) Go to Advance and then Wipe Dalvik Cache

8) Select Apply SD Card:Update.zip to install the ROM

9) After the ROM is installed reboot the phone and deleted the update.zip file of your SD Card

10) Download the 691 Kernel and rename it update.zip and copy the file over to your SD Card and reboot into Recovery Mode

11) Select Apply SD Card:Update.zip to flash the 691 Kernel, once complete reboot the phone and delete the file update.zip from your SD Card

12) Download the Zen Anykernel and rename it update.zip and copy the file over to your SD Card and reboot into Recovery Mode

13) Select Apply SD Card:Update.zip to flash the Zen Anykernel, once complete reboot the phone and delete the update.zip file from your SD Card

14) At this point the phone should be good to go, you can transfer back over any music, photos, save game data etc that you need back on to your SD Card and you should be all set.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] maddoggin:
thanks

thanks for this. all i did was root phone then flashed this rom didnt do any of the above so i will do as you suggested and try again. thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] someonenewhere:
That's a minor issue, I'm sure he'll get it fixed in the next release...

So far everything is working great with me..No FC's, no lags...nothing...

All we need is some great themes for this ROM and we're set :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bdizzel1982:
no problem I'm glad to help, to me thats the whole point of having a forum setup so people can ask questions and find answers :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] maddoggin:
update

@bdizzle, on step 9 of your response to me earlier when you say delete update zip after rom is installed do you mean delete the rom.zip. like the rom i just installed? and also can i just flash a theme over this rom? and if so how do i do that? thanks for your help again. your a life saver!

edit* one more question. after installing the rom do i reboot to system then to recovery again then update zip or how do i delete update zip.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jschill31:
I would have done the same thing!:) Must be the "Dakota" in us...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Neo31697:
Ok did everything i could i hope it will help. Would flashing a new radio help? i have the newest sprint one i was just wondering if anyone has tried to flash a verizon radio if so which one. I jump in and out of service at my desk so i think thats what is killing my battery
[Hero CDMA Android Development] maddoggin:
music

i did everything as posted and everything works great but it wont play my music now after i put music back into sd card. when i try to open music files through es says media player cannot play file. any suggestions. also does this rom support live wallpapers?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bdizzel1982:
Yes delete the rom file which should have been labled update.zip then copy over the first kernel file i linked and rename it update.zip once you have flashed that kernel repeat the process with the second kernel.

which music player are you using the stock android music player or the htc music player? I never open music files thru any file manager what I would recommend is after copying your music over reboot the phone then give it like 10 mins to completely scan your sd card for media files then you should be fine, also if you installed the deoxed version I believe some live wallpapers will work but it's pretty limited so I never have tried but I could be wrong it may not support any.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bdizzel1982:
I don't believe you can flash a Verizon radio nor would I recommend trying I am using the newest Sprint radio as well and have no problems maybe try updating your PRL the latest version is 60670
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bdizzel1982:
lol yea or just a midwest thing :p
[Hero CDMA Android Development] maddoggin:
themes

thanks for all your help really apreaciate it sir. also what about themes how would i flash them.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bdizzel1982:
I'm the wrong guy to ask about that, I like the Sense theme that is pre-installed so I have never tried out any others but if you search thru the thread it's probably been covered by somebody.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chefthomas99:
Agreed. It's nice, crisp, and clean.

Sent from my NFX-Hero!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mozman:
Curious, since you use stick with the Sense theme, are you using the Odex version? I agree with your thought on Sense, used to use the de-odex, but decided to try odex, for the incremental speed improvement... but haven't noticed much of an improvement.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chefthomas99:
Are you using the 2 kernels and overclocking it? Turn on Jit?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bdizzel1982:
Yea I run the Odex since I have no desire to theme the rom
[Hero CDMA Android Development] skndeep102:
I've actually been running the Verizon radio that flipz released awhile ago with great results. Heres a link. Verizon Radio
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bdizzel1982:
Cool didn't know you could do that, personally I don't like the idea of running another carrier's radio but I'm glad to hear your having good results I'm using the latest Sprint radio that came with the last official update and have no issue so I think I'll stick with what I got for now :D but thanks for the link.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] skndeep102:
I ran the latest for a long time but for some reason couldn't get hardly any signal. So I thought I'd try a different radio and gave the Verizon radio a try. I've had full reception nearly all the time now.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Neo31697:
where you running it with this rom. Sorry really nervous about this but my battery is killing me.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] skndeep102:
Yeah I'm running it right now. I've been running it for almost a month now I think. Theres a tutorial on how to flash a new radio on here somewhere.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jschill31:
I havn't either...not sure why? The pre-installed android apps should respond a little quicker?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jschill31:
Hello,

To flash a theme boot into recovery and flash the zip just like you did to install the rom. Do not change the file or unzip it and it must be on the root of your SD card. Also, make sure the theme is for the rom you are running. Do not wipe before you flash a theme either and be sure to nandroid.

Good luck
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chefthomas99:
my battery is perfectly fine with this rom... check your partial wake times in spare parts
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mozman:
Can we revert back to the old radio if the new one doesn't work to the way we expected? e.g. go back to Sprint radio if the Verizon one doesn't work. If so, how? Thanks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mozman:
hmmm.... maybe it's milliseconds faster and we just can't notice it. LOL :p
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bdizzel1982:
Yes you can flash back to the current Sprint Radio
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Neo31697:
found it never mind

theme

@jschill31 how do i know what themes are for this rom?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tbonestl:
I love this Rom. My issue us that my 3G connection randomly goes out and I have to go into the network connection settings and check the wireless network option off then back on. This is a little annoying. I have had this issue on all the builds I've used of this Rom. This is a fresh install. Has anyone had this issue? Any help is appreciated.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] skndeep102:
Most themes that are made for fresh 2.1.2 and up should work I've used a couple.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] skndeep102:
I have also had this issue it happens only about once a day so it doesn't bother me too much.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sekarpdkt:
One week. Fully loaded. Working superb. Forget about reboot not even single fc.

Only one observation. If I download 4 5 market app simultaneously, when one app being installed my phone will become too slow. In that case just left phone for few mins. Did not reboot. It came back. For one or two app this was not observed.

Just fyi. Just believe the Rom...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chefthomas99:
Does that with every Rom.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] bdizzel1982:
when you did the fresh install did you format your sd card prior to install also did you wipe data, cache, dalvik prior to install? Also what prl and what radio are you running? Also what kernel are you running did you over clock if so which one did you use as all of these things could be playing a factor.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Neo31697:
Instead of turning on and off your net work try turning on and off airplane mode that's what I do for mine just seems faster and easier. Just an idea

Yes I did wipe data, dalvik...and what not. As for what radio im using, im not sure where I find that..but i have never changed or modified the radio version on my phone. The PRL is 60668. Kernal is whatever comes in the ROM... 2.6.34 GoDmOdE-Darchshizz-OC ameer@darchstar #4

[Hero CDMA Android Development] nodrogkam:
just chiming in...

i just started noticing the data off issue. I updated my prl to the latest - 60670. This happens with some roms ive used in the past. not a huge deal really.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bdizzel1982:
The newest Sprint radio is 2.42.01.04.27 you can check yours by going to Settings/ About Phone/ Software Information/ then it's listed as baseband version. If you have an older version you can find the new one here

You said you wiped data/ dalvik what about cache and did you format your sd card before you started?

I will re-list the steps I do when installing this rom I would try it and see if it helps also you may want to update your PRL as the current version is 60670 that may help as well. I'm assuming you have already flashed a recovery file but ill list all steps in case anyone new to rooting/flashing roms is using this for reference.

1) Install ROM Manager via the Market then from within the app install Clockwork Mod Recovery

2) Back up your files you need off your SD Card and then format your SD Card via your computer

3) Copy over just the ROM update.zip and nothing else to your SD Card

4) Boot into Recovery Mode

5) Wipe Data/Factory Reset

6) Wipe Cache Partition

7) Go to Advance and then Wipe Dalvik Cache

8) Select Apply SD Card:Update.zip to install the ROM

9) After the ROM is installed reboot the phone and deleted the update.zip file of your SD Card

10) Download the 691 Kernel and rename it update.zip and copy the file over to your SD Card and reboot into Recovery Mode

11) Select Apply SD Card:Update.zip to flash the 691 Kernel, once complete reboot the phone and delete the file update.zip from your SD Card

12) Download the Zen Anykernel and rename it update.zip and copy the file over to your SD Card and reboot into Recovery Mode

13) Select Apply SD Card:Update.zip to flash the Zen Anykernel, once complete reboot the phone and delete the update.zip file from your SD Card

[Hero CDMA Android Development] rondietz1:
Wipe ?

When I did my install I did a data wipe like everyone suggests, but when I tried to do a dalvik wipe I got some sort of a error message saying something about doing it through abk. Am I missing a step or doing something wrong? I just continued without wiping dalvik, what if any detrimental effects come from not wiping? Also I'm sure it's been talked about before, but I am running the latest odexed update, not much changed or added, and am having a stuttering problem with bluetooth headset, about every 10 - 15 seconds, any suggestions?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Neo31697:
I did the format of my sdcard and it was amaizing how much extra stuff was on there from installing stuff. Great suggestion about doing that i have so much more room on the sdcard now.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] radxcoresteven:
Is there anyway to remove the time in the status bar, like you can in CM6? That redundancy gets old after a while, and it leaves more room for icons.

Jit, setcpu, anykernal. Running rock solid. Took a few reboots to get it perfect.

I am interested to know if you or anyone else gets any reboot issues. I ran JIT on the 2.2.1 (before update-1) for about 24 hours last weekend with no issues. However, Not noticing I could not flash a kernel with that version I flashed Zenkernel. It was only after that I started getting reboots with JIT on - not sure if it was the kernel or a coincidence. I haven't tried it yet since flashing 2.2.1 update-1

Battery is amazing with this kernal, as good if not better than the old Blackberry. A few FC's on occasion but that could be the cache or ?? The battery life far outweighs a FC once or twice a day.
