Downloaded the pro version and still have issue. I really loved your theme I'm hoping its not the Rom or kernal that is causing the issues. Onward Ho.

If memory space is the issue, then is there something I can set to raise the /system parameters? Currently /system is at 799.15mb, xbin being the main memory size of 584.23.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jeepman007:
Clean install with no updates, just the Rom and still have error.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
@jeepman, sorry your having this problem man... So just to ask, metamorph gives an error before doing anything more than just flashing the rom? To be honest, I have used only the metamorph.apk file that is in the Themed.zip flash file, and I haven't had any issues except the first time you try it, it will fail (forgot what the error was) but if I went back into it again and it worked absolutely fine.

However....

ADB has been giving me the same issue when trying to copy a file over. Just to ask, did you try restarting the phone?.. oh that's right you did....

I honestly don't have a cue, and you even said the paid for version is screwing up.

Flash another rom and see if it gives the same issue. (or flash V.1.5 of this rom to see if that fixes it).

Unfortunately I really don't know what to say about it. I always waited till last to flash the Themed.zip file.. Maybe it's a download problem? I hate to keep going to that, but it's happened before.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jeepman007:
I just found something interesting. I partitioned my SD card using the settings you suggested in post #2. And I set the swap size to 32mb(default), but I was just going through all the A2SD settings/fixes and caught the error that the swap file can't be enabled when I used the a2sd swap command. Its not seeing the swap partition, and when I ran a sysinfo, the swap is showing :applet not found. Maybe this is the cause? Any idea how to fix?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hero32:
if it counts i was having serious problems overclocking to 768 im smoking clocked at 710 but i am running the 1.5 and i have the batt tweak and i ninja morphrd the whole them i am wondering if its the 768 is that possible tomorrow im swapping back to the update and clocking it at 710 and see for the boot screen i downloaded absolute system its got any boot screen font and a couple other good features i will let you know how it works tomorrow
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
@jeepman - Even though it wont mount the swap partition, it should still work..

But that does make me wonder.. What recovery are you using?

@hero32 - There are some hero's that can do 768mhz and some that cant. My last upload of the rom fixed a couple of things as far as the kernel because I included the latest STABLE kernel, not the brainfuct uncapped kernel. And this one is at 710mhz like the Vuv'd kernel.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
Well.. we now know swap is working... I'm at a deadend man. Ill try to get in contact with the apparently maker.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] leadfoot9281:
@ jeepman, do you have busybox installed? Just ran across some people said uninstall and reinstall of that gave them a fix.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jeepman007:
Leadfoot, I ran across the Busybox fixes. Tried them all, no luck there.

Hex, Thanks for trying to figure this out. After all the reinstalls my phone has become really unstable. When we reset the phone for factory install and wipe the dalvik/SD cache, is it doing these wipes on the phone memory or the SD card if those items where moved?

Gonna try the 1.5 release and use the current Brain kernal.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jeepman007:
Just installed 1.5. First thing I did was try Metamorph, worked perfect. Installing theme ATM. Next will try the Brain Fuct kernal, then Collin_PH.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
This is boggling me, mainly because there is no actual difference between this rom and 1.5 except for these specific factors:

1.5 -------------------------------------------- 2.0beta4

OLD Root app ----------------------------------- Most up to date root app

Bloat apps already removed before flashing ------- All bloat is there with option to remove them

Old/unreliable a2sd version----------------------- Most up to date and stable A2SD

Vuv'd kernel built in------------------------------ Vanilla(stock) kernel with flashable bf kernel

Has LWP/Homeswitcher/Helix Launcher installed---- None added to this one (but will have a flashable zip for that later :P)

Made from old kitchen---------------------------- Made from new kitchen

Removed Boot Sounds---------------------------- Boot sounds not touched

Custom boot screen------------------------------ Whoops! you know... (WILL BE FIXED!)

Old bash/nano/busybox built in-------------------- New versions of all that (DID NOT include run-parts because it boot looped me no matter what!)

Updated verisons of Gmaps/facebook/etc---------- Did not update apps because it hinders future updates unless your remove old apks

Included Google spare parts and a few other things-- Didn't add. Kinda pointless unless you are running AOSP.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jeepman007:
Well 1.5 installed. And I have the Google Maps singing issue.

Can I upgrade from here to V2 or will it cause an issue? Will it correct the signing problems?

Themes worked fine. Haven't tried the items I was having FC'ing issues with, but using the new Brain kernal, so I am assuming that corrected those issues.

Edit: Having FC'ing of widgets.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
You can try flashing over 1.5 but I have no idea if it will work or not. I know if you do that, you will lose the themes altogether, but I guess it's worth a shot.

Here we go. :D I am getting good at being patient. One of my personal challenged.

Update: Ya that didn't work to well. Once it starts to access the OS, EVERYTHING is FC'ing.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
Just to make sure, you are wiping EVERYTHING before you flash right? (Data, Dalvik, AND Cache).. Do it twice just to make sure.

But which recovery do you have again? If you have clockworkmod, they are separate options usually.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jeepman007:
I have GodSpeed Recovery Darchstar Edition. Ya, I have been actually clearing the Data/System, Dalvik, SD:ext partition, Battery and Rotate. Plus I have repartitioned my SD with 512mb ext, 32mb swap and rest fat.

So I am back with V2 and Metamorph doesn't work. If I was to install the original SC update, could I just apply all the kernal, Collin, A2SD as packages like you have included in the SouthPaw Extras folder?

It really sucks, since I got a taste of the Theme Leadfoot made, I want it on the phone now. Thanks for the eye candy crack Leadfoot. :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] leadfoot9281:
Lmfao. Making one addict at a time since 1981
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
Actually yeah. If you apply all the zips on your sd card with 1.5, you will be golden. Only thing though is after you install 1.5, go ahead and delete google maps *and theres another command you have to do but can't remember it.. Look around in the thread and you should have it* and then you can install the updated google maps.

Lol @ leadfoot.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jeepman007:
Do you think my Root software might be causing the issue on how the file structure is setup? I went to the 2nd post and was going to try to install AndRoot but the download link is down. Is there another option?

I just downloaded UniversalAndroot but am a little scared to try it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] leadfoot9281:
I'm using the same recovery as you jeepman.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jeepman007:
Found the post @ 39. I know I tried these commands before to correct the issues, but maybe going it fresh I will have some success.

Any idea on the issue here?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
You exit out of the phone shell first before doing the 2nd command like this:

C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb shell

sh-3.2# rm /system/app/Maps.apk

rm /system/app/Maps.apk

sh-3.2#Exit

C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb uninstall com.google.android.apps.maps

Some other things you should do:

Remove terminal from rom (fc's)

C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb shell

sh-3.2# rm /system/app/jackpal.androidterm.apk

ALSO.. remove the updated facebook app so that you can update that as well...

sh-3.2# cd system/app (to go to that directory)

sh-3.2# ls *face* (will show all files with the word face in it)

sh-3.2# rm Facebook.apk (or whatever file it is I forgot)

DO NOT REMOVE THE HTC APPS! (i.e. HtcFacebook.apk, htcfacebooksense.apk, or something of that dirivitive!) Those are for sense, and will only screw something up if you remove them.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jeepman007:
Man I wish all these things worked the same on each device. For some reason I don't have everything you posted. Although the Map.apk did uninstall once I exited SH.

Also, why does an "ls" command not show the facebook.katana.apk? I am only able to see it when using the *face* command
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
you made facebook uppercase. That's the reason why it didnt remove it. Linux is case sensitive.

Do the rm again but this time just like this:

com.facebook.katana.apk

sh-3.2# rm facebook.katana.apk

Also for the android terminal, maybe it's named differently (or maybe not included on that rom version? Cant remember. Look for it in your programs, if it's not there, then don't worry about it)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jeepman007:
I caught that after the post and it gave me the same error when using lower case. It worked with the com in front. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
Lol! And I didn't even catch it :P
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jeepman007:
Crap I'm going to go bald. I didn't install Metamorph since it was working on 1.5. And I just installed Collin_PH, Decamod, Essentials and Removed Bloat. And I have the same error now with Metamorph.

Back to square one. :confused:

By the way, I REALLY appreciate all the help.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jeepman007:
Ok, I am stumped. I cleared all the caches. Didn't repartition the SD. Reinstalled 1.5 and ONLY installed Theme to get Metamorph installed. And I have the /System memory issue again.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chefthomas99:
Can this be used on Sprint hero?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] leadfoot9281:
At one point i had a memory issue tho i thought i fixed it cux it never happened to me again but after installing everything had to do a wipe and it cleared it all up. something to do with changing all the framework files.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] leadfoot9281:
the radio was removed from V1.5 so im sure this one has been as well. if thats the case then i dont see why you couldn't but you may get MMS problems just like when we use a sprint rom.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jeepman007:
Well I tried again. Wiped, installed and went right to the Market. Tried Metamorph and it had the error.

This is my last time. Man I want the Eye Crack to work. This time I wiped everything 2 times, formated the SD, powered off, removed battery, copied the rom and extras over and installing 1.5. If it doesn't work this time. I am going to wait until the final V2 comes out.

It was a bust. Going back. Maybe something will come up in the near future from the developer that explains whats going on.

Thanks again for all the help. After about 20 installs I am done.:cool:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
Oh yeah. Matter of fact, I removed the radio in v.0.6 (Krome Knuggz) and left it out since then because of it being such a sensitive flash (as in if it's bad, then your phone is bricked) And actually on the mms, there wouldn't be any issue as long as you just copy your sprint settings from ##3282# and put them in this one. The only issue I have seen yet with sprint customers on this or any other carrier's roms is Visual Voice Mail, but then... Heh. We went through a sad period where we had issues the other way as well.. But there is a way to get it working, however I don't know since I have never had to set it up.

And @Jeepman - WAIT!!! I just had an idea! Did you try Re-downloading the rom? If not then do it! And after you download it check the MD5 hash on it before flashing. If it meets up try it one last time..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] leadfoot9281:
Lol @Jeep. The theme will work on 1.5 as well. I'm thinking about trying a few differant things on it and finishing up this red thing I'm working on, just been super busy and on call.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
Hey I was wondering if you were going to port the red one too! lol.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] leadfoot9281:
Actually got almost all of it done. Just a few files left I kinda need to build from scratch.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] leadfoot9281:
matter of fact, the biggest drawback right now is the text in statusbar pulldown. look whee it says cellular south. when their is a notification below the red/black is exactly the same but the text is black. i don't know how to find or edit the XML to make it white so if i cant come up with it soon i will just make those blocks solid red instead. but i like this look so i trying to stick with it. there are a few other random things as well im trying to find like the green select buttons on the power control widget and download status bar/volume up and down bar. if you got any ideas let me know im off tomorrow night and prob gonna try a few things again.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
I might can help ya with that. I dunno if I can easily read the xml, but I sure can decompile/recompile it for ya :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] leadfoot9281:
Lol I just gotta find the one that works it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jeepman007:
I did redownload. And check md5. It won't work either now.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
Well I'm taking my regularly scheduled post rom 2.2 hyadus. Damn its nice now.. Running cm6 + blackmod theme with same kernel as my rom comes with. Nothing but sweet so far. Hell texting even works fine. Not to big of a non-sense fan but this one has got me captivated right now. Here's a postcard ;p
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sippi4x4man:
I tried the stable release of CM6 for several days and it was a little buggy and slow for me. My phone froze up a lot and I had to force close several programs with it. I haven't tried flashing it and applying the new kernel or applying the kernel tweaks so that may make a difference. I might try it again later. Theme looks pretty sweet btw.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
Yeah I actually downloaded the #2 690mhz bf kernel/stable on accident after I flashed it, and it worked TERRIBLY. Noticed it and downloaded/flashed the #6 kernel, and now it works flawlessly.

Not using A2SD on it, but thinking very heavily about using it because the amount of free space is almost exactly the same as this rom (and I want more agghhahahahha!)

Oh! and btw, this isn't the stable release that's been out, this is one of the nightlys but I have heard great things about this one.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jeepman007:
I installed the latest V2 last night. Flashed Brain, Collin_PH, Bloat remove, Essentials and Decamod. I also did the A2SD commands in ADB to move everything. My phone is freezing up when I try to answer calls among other things.

I was following along in the threads and this was the flow, am I doing something that is not necessary due to an update in the download?

When I clear all the caches, reset phone to factory and install a new rom, deosn't it wipe the whole OS out? Or does it leave residual items? As I was able to use Metamorph with V1.5, after I have wiped/reflashed several times, I am unable to. I would think an image would be the same each time.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
Wait... Just to ask, have you been flashing the Collin_ph everytime? That may have something to do with it.. The one packaged with the rom isn't necessarily compatible with the kernel (sorry been needing to change that :X) Though it shouldn't cause any problems, it very well may. Yes when you wipe, it does leave residual stuff, but it has to. Not anything that would affect this though (i.e. doesn't touch radio, partition that recovery is in, and a few other things) but as far as where stuff is that metamorph uses (/system/app, /system/framework) is absolutely wiped.

I wonder if the memory in your phone is going bad. Do this: RUU your phone, root it, and then try to install metamorph. If it still doesn't work, then the phone's memory could be messed up. Not for sure, but it's possible.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] leadfoot9281:
I used the vanilla version when I swap over. With the first kernal you set as uncapped and it was very very fast lol.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] leadfoot9281:
And no I don't think it does. I completely wiped before and reboot...

Took a while and drained my battery and was hot as hell but worked great afterwords lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
Oh yeah.. Forgot about how the battery would get scorching hot... Glad that doesnt happen anymore or else I'd have to get this thing out my pocket! lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
Looks like battery life has increased drastically as well. Been off the charger since 7:30 this morning and is now at 94%. A huge difference from last time. Last time it would have been at around 65% by now. By my calculations (7% / 3.5) = 2%/hr, then I should have a full charge last 48hrs! That's better than my own rom man! Terrible.. And I am even using a live wallpaper :P
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jeepman007:
I think this is what got me confused, I was thinking I needed to install collin_ph then Deca to work. Flashing now. Thanks

I just noticed you don't have a2sd zipalign listed in the A2SD instructions, is this not needed?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
a2sd zipalign isn't actually needed it just speeds up the startup process a little. I have never used decamod so I really don't know.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bkseals2009:
@hexskrew- I'm trying to learn how to root, I just haven't quite got there yet because I am still confused with the prls and stuff like that and what to do after I root to get this custom ROM on. I am just kind of being cautious because I've never done this before and I don't want to make a mistake. And I'm just still trying to make sure I will be able to switch back to my original stock ROM when I need to. I wish someone could help me do this step by step lol but I understand people have to work and things like that. But hope all goes well soon.. I just have to get the nerve to do it first. (I don't get to upgrade until Dec.) so if i mess it up I won't be able to get a new phone unless I pay full price for it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jeepman007:
GeekMouse, do you know how to update the PRI? I just checked mine and it appears to be the old Sprint 1.84_013. Delvik wipe must not have wiped properly when I did it from the phone if thats the case. Thanks for any input.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Redfox85:
I have the new PRI! After research, I found out that you have to reroot your phone to get the new PRI. If you rooted after you upgraded your phone to 2.1 using the cellular south stock 2.1 rom, you should already have the new PRI.

*Note: I am not responsible for any lost data, bricking of your phone, and/ or anything that happens to your phone if you do the following.*

Update PRI:

1. Save

everything

on your computer!

2. Downgrade to sprint's 1.5 rom ( I provided this in my old post)

3. Reset phone

4. Upgrade to cellular south's 2.1 stock rom (provided on the cellular south website)

5. reset phone

6. dial *228

7. Reroot your phone (you can find this link easily)

I noticed that I received a very little bit of roaming data. I went to Slidell and had data. After I past Slidell, I did not have data.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jeepman007:
Ok, figured out how to downgrade, CS upgrade, Reroot, then reinstalled my nandroid backup. Did the *228. Now I do not have data. I can use wi-fi but not EvDo. Any suggestions?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
@jeepman, did you try re-downloading the update.zip? Also honestly I don't really see the need for a new prl, except I know you said you have the sprint prl.

But regardless I would try to wipe again, and then reinstall everything. Remember about the sprint prl if you let it download? What if the same thing would happen but for the cs prl if you let it go for awhile? That is quite strange but as a last resort, you could flash the stock 2.1 update, see if that updates it and if not, then sabatoge your hero and take it in to get a fresh one? :X

Hope you get that fixed up man, and I also wanted to give you a very big thanks for helping people on this thread. It means a lot to me especially since I am limited on time, and I know everyone else greatly appreciates what you and MrDanger is doing :)

Infrastructure for wireless?

I've not pulled this ROM yet to play, but just for curiosity: does it have the kernel updates necessary for infrastructure when doing wireless routing?

My Ad-Hoc is disabled on my work machine (by group policy) ... and I'd only really need the wireless during emergencies (like power outage) to continue work.

-D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jeepman007:
Thanks for the reply Hex and thanks for the directions Red. I ended up getting everything back to where I was with an Updated PRI. As for me the biggest headache is CS and having to use sprint roms. But from what I just did, rooting is a piece of cake for us non-devs now.

For those who rooted the old fashion way, such as with a Goldcard, here is the basic run down on what I had to do to get my phone downgraded and then back to the current Dirth.

If you like your current setup, make sure you make an Nandroid before proceeding. Saves alot of time.

First I would write down your MDN/MDIS #. Mine where changed along the way and luckly I remembered them from long ago seeing as I threw away the notes I took when I rooted. ;)

The original stock 1.5 Sprint rom wouldn't update my phone since I believe the HBoot is updated. Luckily I found a nandroid backup on my PC that I made during the initial rooting. (the name was not related to sprint, the date was the only indicator) I am not sure if another nandroid could be used to downgrade another CS hero, but if mine is needed I have it available.

Once I went back to the Sprint rom, I ran the CS 2.1 update. This removed root from the phone.

I was then able to follow the current rooting procedure found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=581869 (this is unbelievably easy and quick) Props to those who figured that out. The old way worked, but for someone not fully up to speed on all of this it was a bit nerve racking. This will also give you the current root and Dalvik will clear without and error.

Once you have root back on the phone, you should have the current PRI and you can proceed back to Dirth using your Nandroid backup.

For some reason my MSID/MDN was changed in all of this. Had to go in and change it back. Which all I changed was the MSID to my 10 digit phone #.

I hope this helps. I find myself following through the searches and taking to many paths trying to figure out how to get to where I am now.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jeepman007:
What exactly are you needing? Wireless connectivity works well, I have used mine with VPN and also authenticated on a windows network for file browsing. Also I have used RDP and Logmein. Haven't tried to manage a router requiring dos yet, but have used browser based management. Or are you meaning to use the phone as a network bridge using Tethering and your phone set to Wi-Fi?
