So would you say you experience any of the screen lag or any fc's/freezes with just using it as stock. I don't know I guess i'm just hesitant with switching back to CM6. I'm really wanting 2.2 and i'm really impatient with the thought of 2.2 sense. lol.

Updates Posted 07NOV

Updates posted after repo sync at 10AM Eastern on 07-November. These have only had the standard 30 seconds of exhaustive testing, so YMMV.

New PurpleGlass build added to satisfy a request from a close friend with a craving. This is just like RedGlass, only Purple.

Includes recent bug fixes and updates since 02NOV build. Check cmsrc twitter or review.cyanogenmod.com (status:merged) to see details.

It includes both the 2D Gallery and Gallery3D. Camera has been reverted to the original source and Gallery has cherry-picked an update that adds review intents, so either the Gallery image viewer (View picture) or Gallery 3D can be selected from the Camera thumbnail. You can set this as the default action or choose each time.

Kernel based on 10/27 commits from Decad3nce's github including smartass governor (THANKS!). Default Governer is ondemand, default Scheduler is deadline. Modify to suit your taste using the standard tools (I would recommend Decad3nce's modified BatteryTweak as an effective low overhead approach). Link can be found near the bottom of the post.

Uupdated akmd/compass included to help with battery drain, freezing, etc.

Colored icons added to settings menu for BlackMod, RedGlass, and PurpleGlass.

I was wondering if you were building(prelinking) with any of the updated proprietary libraries from the .7 RUU?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaybob413:
Vanilla - Colored Settings Icons

Attached. Use previously posted install instructions.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaybob413:
Not currently. The only changes from the proprietaries in the "koush/ proprietary_vendor_htc/heroc" github files are the updates to akmd, and to libGLES_qcom.so, libOmxH264Dec.so, and libOMXMpeg4Dec.so, all of which were pulled from the dream_sapphire. I have seen recently that a libgps.so update was made to the hero tree, but gps is working great for me on the current build since the akmd change, so I haven't been in a hurry to try it out.

If you have recommendations for updates, let me know, and I can run a build with those for testing.

Edit:

After taking a quick look, it appears the only proprietaries libraries that are different from the current build are the three that have been updated:

libGLES_qcom.so, libOmxH264Dec.so, and libOMXMpeg4Dec.so

Along with:

libgps.so, libspeech.so

[Hero CDMA Android Development] xDragod:
Hero doesn't have an LED to make a flashlight, so it won't do anything.

Power/End Button

With stock ROM, pressing the hardware end call button during a phone call would simply turn the display on. You would then need to press the button a second time to end the call. I liked this because I could look up a phone number while on the phone with someone. In this current setup, pressing the hardware end call button once ends the call. I can't find any option in settings to change this. Any suggestions?

I left it like that for a while and nothing happened. Went back to Fresh Rom. But im hearing that FroYo is fast and id like to try it.

Is there a recovery i need to get?

yeah i tried that too, still couldn't get past that blank screen. The lockscreen and everything loaded, but when it asks to sync my gmail account it freezes up. Ill try to install again. Do i just flash the latest aug1 file, and then flash gapp?

Very nice rom...VERY fast. I'm on sprint hero and was in need of visual voicemail. I'm using Youmail now and is a good replacement.

"It’s easy to switch your voicemail to YouMail:

1. Go to www.youmail.com to create a YouMail account

2. Simply dial *289095106169 and press ‘talk/send’.

3. Upon successful activation you will hear two alert tones. If you’re unsuccessful activating call forwarding, contact Sprint Technical Support at 888-211-4727 for assistance.

I've been using the July 26 ROM posted in the OP and am interested in trying a newer build. Is there a way to do that without wiping out my current setup (ie, just installing this as an update or something)? If so, how do I do that?

Further, is there a way to save my screen layouts/etc when upgrading or trying different ROMs? I use AppBrain to get my apps easily again (and Titanium Backup for backing up apps + data, which generally works great), but it'd be awfully nice to not have to go in and do other settings, like where I want icons on the various screens/etc.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cuezaireekaa:

Adding application shortcuts to Home screen

I am currently running the vanilla build from August 1 and using LauncherPro. I have noticed that when adding application shortcuts to the home screen, it takes a long time for the application list to appear (like 15 seconds). Is anyone else experiencing that behavior? I would love to know how to reduce that lag.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] goldaar:
This is a LauncherPro problem, I have had this problem whenever I used LauncherPro (the reason why I stopped using it), using the built in ADW does not have this problem, at least not nearly as bad.

Rebuild update

Current progress is that Bluetooth and Headset issues have been resolved by the commit mentioned previously (at least they are both working for me).

On the Market front, it looks (from my connection point) like a network issue. If I am connected over the 3G data link, most (not all) connection requests to check in to https://android.clients.google.com fail. Running a traceroute from the phone to the Google server times out with the last response returned by a Sprint owned device in Indiana. After connecting my phone to Wi-Fi, connections to the Market are quick and responsive again.

So, it looks from here like a link or route issue. It will usually eventually respond, but the latency is far too great for setting up a connection. There may be something else going on as well, but with a problematic connection, it is difficult to tell.

Net net, I will be posting an 08NOV update later today with the audio fixes. Also looking at incorporating latest kernel commits from Decad3nce github. Due to work interfering with play, this may not be out until this evening.

Edit:

Comparing packet dumps from 02NOV Rom and 07NOV Rom is showing some differences. More to follow.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaybob413:
It's possible. I have thought about doing a pure blue (Hue 240) BlueGlass version. It is a fair amount of work, so the challenge is finding the time. Also, not sure how much interest there would be, and if I am able to commit to supporting 6 builds going forward. PM me if you are interested.

Anyone comfortable working in Gimp that would like to work on porting the RedGlass overlay to a BlueGlass overlay? You don't need to be a graphical designer, as it is a fairly mechanical process. I can certainly provide some input on the approach I used to create PurpleGlass from RedGlass.

PM me if you are interested.

08NOV Update for Testing

Updated builds are available for testing at the MediaFire Shared Folder (see OP). I see a few of you have already found them. ;)

I am not done with testing although everything seems to be working fine. The Market is still intermittent for me, but that seems to be a connectivity issue. It works great with Wi-Fi using my home ISP.

This is primarily here for those who want an early start, or are waiting for an update due to the bluetooth/headset issues. I will update the OP and links after I am satisfied that it is working correctly.

This also has the latest kernel updates (11/07) from Decad3nce's github. I believe he is still looking at some potential issues with the interactive governer, so if you are going to switch from ondemand (the default), be aware. Smartass should be fine if that is your preference.

No Update Today

Until the network issues resolve themselves, I will not be posting any updates, other than the test 08NOV builds already posted to the MediaFire shared folder.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hotaru:
RUU should be able to get it going again... of if your bootloader is s-off, re-flashing recovery through fastboot might be easier.

i'm not having any network issues at all with the 08NOV extremely blue build... about 100-125kbps down, 150-175kpbs up on 1x, and market downloads seems to start within 2 or 3 seconds... fairly high ping times (700-1000ms), but i've always had that on 1x... unless it only happens with ev-do, which i can't test at the moment (no ev-do coverage here).

on wifi, i'm getting about 4Mbps down, 300-500kbps up, and ping times around 400ms. all except download the same as on my laptop (which usually gets 20-25Mbps down here, but is currently only getting about 10Mbps.

Still Waiting for Resolution of Sprint Data Network Issues

Its Not Your Phone!

There are still significant Sprint Data Network issues. This appears to be location/connection dependent, as some people are having no issues. It has also been fluctuating over time. This morning the Market worked well for me for a couple of hours, then back to timing out.

This creates issues with browsing, market, apps that make network connections, etc. It can also contribute to battery drain as ongoing attempts to connect continue to fail and retry.

Unfortunately, not much to do but complain to your Sprint rep, who will likely tell you to reset to factory state, and other recommendations that will just create more work for you to restore your phone to its normal state whenever the issues are resolved. I believe that in the majority of cases, the issue is not with your phone, it is with the network. Packet traces continue to show timeouts for sites that are up and responsive from another network.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pwachleman:
So, do you recommend updating to the 08-Nov test build to fix the headphone and bluetooth issue or just continue on the 07-Nov build? I have mine on the test build and my wifes is still running the 07-Nov Blackmod so I was curious.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaybob413:
The 08NOV test build fixes the audio issues in the 07NOV build, so updating will correct those issues. I have had no issues with 08NOV other than those caused by the Sprint data network issues, so I would definitely choose the 08NOV test build over the previous one. Should be fine to flash over the top (recommend wipe dalvik-cache).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rafaelc:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaybob413:
The Sprint data network has been having issues for the last few days that have tended to make the Market, browsing (some sites), and network connections performance like watching the glaciers roll by.

It seems to be much better atm, but I will wait until I see consistent performance to say that is is working again.

It does appear to have been a well kept secret from their service reps, who (from what I have heard) have been mostly in parrot mode "Reset, Reset, awwwk!".
