any ideas how to fix this?

edit: running fix permissions in rom manager before flashing the new version seems to have fixed it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rainy23:
as dumb as this will sound... how do i flash this?? I have flashed android roms on my phone before but the zip file i downloaded had a whole bunch of files and folders
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaybob413:
BlackMod was missing wlan.ko which is the wifi driver. Apologies.

Extracting wlan.ko from the attached zip file and pushing to /system/lib/modules should take care of the missing wi-fi.

I have replaced the BlackMod version on MediaFire as well, so you can also flash the update over the previous version. The only change is the addition of the wlan.ko file.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mattynealo:
Just wanted to say thanks to Devs the issues posted below with google spreadsheets is fixed!!

Thanks for the Awesome rom

Now Running OCT 25th BlackMod..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Buildncastles:
Hey,

I'm having an issue after I've flashed. I just get the Cyanogen startup looping and the screen never goes anywhere. Anyone know how to boot into recovery or get out of this issue? Thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hotaru:
you can use adb or pull the battery and then hold home while booting to get into recovery.

if it's the same problem i was having (only if you're updating from an earlier version), nandroiding back to before you flashed the update, running fix permissions in rom manager, and then flashing the update should fix it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cuatillo1:
is this rom is better than stable CM6 or is it most the same...???
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
See my signature :) and flash won't work
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Nanan00:
More updated with bug fixes, it is close to the CM6 nightly builds.

My phone seems to be running nice and smooth with the 25th black build, have not had time to test beyond a min or two of use.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rainy23:
thanks I was having the same problem! I am running fix permissions now. Will update after reflash.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rainy23:
still did not work... I keep having to run restore to access my phone. I am attempting to flash from boot screen because flashing from ROM MNGR is not working.

I lost my best tutorial on how to flash from your boot screen... anyone got one?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rainy23:
ok worked this time. LOOKS AWESOME!!!! love how customizable it is!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] caaznkid:
anyone have a big...number 5 in the middle of their screen randomly pop up? It just happened to me today...it stays on every screen except for the lockscreen and it stays in one place. So I rebooted the phone and it disappeared and it hasn't appeared again since...just thought I'd post this to see if anyone had this weird phenomenon happen haha.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dgatlin:
GAPPS?

Can you flash gapps over an older version?

Thanks...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] caaznkid:

anyone had an issue with power button not putting phone to sleep? i didnt have issue until flashed the nov 25th update...not saying thats what it was...i wiped flashed etc...checked every setting...no dice. any takers?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Dan330:
so far so good.. loving the new notification bar!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] spearoid:
I am having this same problem and it is pretty annoying. The Oct 12th version didn't have this issue, and I'm hoping the 25th doesn't. I'm about to find out I think.

The Mail app seems slower to me on the 19th than it did with the 12th too, but that might just be because I have to keep hitting Inbox to get to my email.

Changing that setting never sticks.....anytime I come back, Folder List is always checked.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] blaccdayz:
I've used it for over 24 hours now and seems greatly increased. This is quoted from the 1st post for the Oct 25th release "Kernel updated to include 10/25 commits from Decad3nce's kernel github. Also includes updated akmd/compass to reduce excessive CPU consumption resulting in battery drain, freezing, etc. So far, this seems to be working for the folks who have tried it out, but not a lot of feedback yet, so YMMV."

I've used the new kernel and "UncappedKernel-Stable-10122010" and it all seems about the same. Great update for this mod.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Davidsr1127:
So is there any known reason' why after a few weeks of use my phone gets really REALLY bogged down? It's fast at first, than all of a sudden it's slow motion!! I've tried to empty the caches and everything w/ no luck. Any help would be much appreciated.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] robbiep:
few weeks? have you tried a more recent build of the rom, like this current 25-oct one.

Samsung Galaxy S Power Widget? Any ideas on how to get to this? My power control widget looks the same as it always has. Unless...it's the power widget on the notification bar, which I and I alone don't like because I already have a widget for that. Anyway to remove that from the notification bar?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Master K:
I also prefer Extended Controls since it has more options. To disable go to Settings, Cyanogenmod Settings, User interface. Scroll down to Notification power settings and uncheck it to disable.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dgatlin:
I believe it is when you pull the notification bar down...

When you pull it down it shows bluetooth, wifi, gps & ringer/mute...

[Hero CDMA Android Development] spearoid:
I've updated to the 25th ROM, and the Folders/Message checkbox now functions properly and no longer reverts back to Folder view every time.

Also, the email client seems to be faster loading emails too.

Additionally, the phone seems snappier all around...the lockscreen appears more quickly when I turn the screen on. The little dial-text-email pop-up menu appears faster when clicking on a contact widget.

VERY pleased with this!

Comin frm cm6 nightly #103 do I need to do a factory wipe to along with the dalvik n partition
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 24601:
I also like the extended controls. Found that if I opened the stock widget & implemented the controls I liked, the notification bar power widget accepted the extended control settings.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kosmo43o:
great job keep it up
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kosmo43o:
ok go to ur messages the press menu and then settings go down to where it says notification settings after that go to vibrate and put always and it should vibrate when u get the messages

Very well said. I loved win mo when I was on it. After switching, I realized what my phone could really do. Win mo was prefect for business. But I like

I have one annoying issue.. Is there a reason that App updates keep giving installation unsuccessful? When I get that I either have to uninstall/reinstall the whole app unmount the SD card or ADB in and remove the apk and reinstall. it's livable but very annoying. It this only for those that use Apps2SD?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 4soundman:
I had been running the Oct 12 Black Mod, Flashed the 25th Black mod on Tues. So far I really like it, seems faster/snappier than the Oct 12 build, and I really like the Power widget in the notification bar.

However my battery seems to drain faster than with Oct 12 and I also get the installation unsuccessful when updating some apps but not all. two of the apps that give me that message are Google Maps and Google Goggles. is there any way to fix that?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kingdazy:
have not tried updating those particular apps, but I noticed that my music player "Cubed" disappeared, and will not DL/install from the market at all...

in this case I did what I never do, and flashed the newest build and gapps right over the last build/gapps. out of principal, i dont trust that method, but sometimes I get tired of resettingup my phone from scratch... :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cordell12:
Is there any difference between the Oct 25th build and the new cm6.1 besides the theming in this rom?

Thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ItsDon:
Excellent question, curious about this as well.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cozkramer:
I think this is CM6.1 as it has ADW 1.2.. don't quote me or anything tho.. lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Vandelay007:
I thought so too, because they both say android 2.2.1 also...don't see any differences?

[Hero CDMA Android Development] cordell12:
Its kind of what I was thinking too. I have running the Extremely Blue for a while now, my wife the Vanilla, and we both love it! I am sure if the cm6.1 has something these builds dont it wont be very long until they get it :)

Thanks Dev's!

Thanks...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kennyla:
i do have one question. the clock on here, is it fancy widgets or beautiful widgets? also how do you make them clear or is it a part of the rom package. maybe i missed it in the thread but it is a rather large thread lol :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cordell12:
I hadnt had it happen on the 12th or 19th builds but it did do that to me today on the 25th build. Rebooted and it was fixed, for now anyway, lol.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Only will work on sense roms
[Hero CDMA Android Development] spearoid:
Wow, that is pretty strange. Not sure I can comprehend how that can't be worked around. I was so used to custom ROMs on my Diamond and still having Teeter.

Poo.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hotaru:
Labyrinth (on the market) is a lot better anyway.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Ezintn:
You can do that on yer Heroc too, they just have to be Sense roms, this is AOSP. FroYo with Sense is being developed for our phones, but it's got a ways to go.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] miguelfp1:
because of the HTC Frameworks, it's the same reason why the HTC dialer or Peep, for example, won't run on AOSP roms.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] AjaxBU:
I love this rom, however lately it has become very slow. I haven't done anything to it other than install a few market apps. Anyone experiencing this? I'm running the sept 27 build, haven't seen a reason to upgrade yet, but maybe if it will speed it up I will. Any tips?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rickyq12:
I was running 10/19 and it was solid,smooth and snappy. Last night I updated to the 10/25 Red Glass...and it is awesome. My only advice...update to the latest build. Should fix things.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] AjaxBU:
I'll probably do a full wipe before I upgrade, I've had bad luck when I don't wipe. Thanks, I'm using the ext blue. While the red glass looks great, my little brothers school is red and black, I give him enough hell about it so I can't run those colors on my phone. If there was a green and gold theme...I would pay for it. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LazyTech99:
Anybody else have a problem with IMAP email accounts not showing the read status? It's rather annoying to read them on the phone and then when the phone checks again it says you have "new" messages when really it's only 1 or 2 new ones and it's the ones you read earlier showing as new.

I've checked on my mail server when I read the message on my phone it will be marked as read on the server so it's not that the phone is not sending the read flag back to the mail server it's the phone either not seeing the flag or something.

:confused:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rokair:
For those having speed or other issues...

...I had not done a full wipe in a while and even if I did the factory reset (Data and Cache wipe) I was still seeing some issues. So, when the OCT25 release came out I formatted System, Data, and Cache before doing a flash (note that he Factory Reset does not format System and this ROM package does not either). Now I might be speaking too soon but ...

With the Formats, New ROM, and the 10/27 Uncapped Stable Kernel my issues are gone and my performance and battery life are better than ever. (Keeping my fingers crossed.:)

Anyway, take it or leave it but it isn't that much extra work and could be worth a try.

-Rokair
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gigermunit:
why complain about the performance of an old verson?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] AjaxBU:
Not complaining, it just suddenly happened. One day it was fast, then the next slow..idk. I am certainly not complaining, I love the ROM and as soon as I get time I'll do the upgrade.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rodcpierce:
is jit enabled? if so turn it off
[Hero CDMA Android Development] RammsteinNicCage:
I'm thinking of starting from scratch to see if I can get rid of little bugs and help my battery life. I want to do a factory reset (I don't think I need to re-root after that, right?) and then re-install the latest vanilla version of this mod. What is the most effective way to keep my apps, phonebook, etc? I don't think doing a nandroid backup would work and I'm not crazy about Titanium... any other suggestions?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] glen4cindy:
Gotta say thanks again guys and dev's and all responsible for this fine ROM

The wife has been in a hate hate hate relationship with her Hero for quite some time now. I've been trying to get her to let me root it and flash CM6 Blue to it like I have mine, but, she wouldn't hear of it. She was going to get her an Evo, and that's all there was to it.

Well, she was well past her 30 day window on the upgrade when she got the Hero, so Sprint didn't care about her feelings of the Hero. She told them of all the problems, issues, slowness, lag, etc. that she was having, and they basically didn't care, and told her that best they could do was buy back the Hero for about $40 give or take, and there was one line in account that was due a $75 upgrade and she could apply that with the buy back and get the Evo. Well, she didn't like that idea.

She finally let me root her Hero, short of her either throwing it in the toilet or tossing it out the window on the highway at 65 MPH.

Well, all I can say, is, she is now in love with her Hero once again. It's fast and zippy, has a great look that she loves, she is even happy with the stock CM6 dialer and does not want me to put Dialer One on there. I put Beautiful Widgets on there for her and downloaded her a nice purple clock skin, her favorite color, and restored her purachsed apps, which she was worried about losing, in spite of me telling her the Market would know and give them to her again. Dev's, CM6 people, folks responsible for making this a better ROM, you have another faithful, happy user. A convert from the HTC Sense Framework who hated it for the sluggish slowness that it caused on the phone, and I'm not kidding, she was ready to throw the phone against the wall. Now, she is extremely happy with it.

Thanks again. Great ROM, fantastic ROM, keep up the great work.

battery life horribly bad with 10/25 build

Hi

I was running on a Aug CM6 build for quite some time now and was quite happy with its battery life. Now, I recently upgraded to 10/25 CM6 (OS 2.1 as it is called now) and found the battery life to be horribly bad as well.

This is what I have running

Facebook to update after 4 hours interval

twitter to update after 4 hours interval

news/weather to update after 12 hours interval

work email to update after 4 hours interval.

unfortunately, i couldn't get setting within gmail to control on the frequency of its sync.

i have disabled gps and wireless settings.

any way, i see that my phone drains battery about 30% in 3 hours. this is the case even when i don't use my phone except to send/recv sms.

to me , battery tweak , is like a work around and i don't like it . Also, yes i have rebooted and wiped the dalvik cache as well. i have also recalibrated the battery

what else am I missing to get better battery life .

can I request the smart developers of CM6 and Hero port to please consider looking into this battery drain issue with future builds..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Master K:
No, Without MMS the phone is SMS only. But I have never sent an MMS in my life so that was not an issue for me.

If you go this route you do need to make sure to set Handcent to split messages over 160 characters and there is also a setting that says if a text is over 3 messages convert it to an MMS. Make sure to UNcheck that one so all handcent sends are SMS. Then it all works like a charm.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cozkramer:
over 12 hrs without any posts? :confused:

So what if you rm'd mms.apk then just cp'd it back.. As I still can't get mms working...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Master K:
You probobly need to clear data for MMS then. I saw instructions somewhere in the thread to remove the telephony.db and another one. Do a search. Sorry i don't have time to do it this sec.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] SteaminLoaf:
i really like the sense dialer. Dialer one is extremely slow to load contact pictures. You also can't just link a contact to a facebook friend so if the name is slightly different, you have to change it to match.

I also had the random slowness that someone else described. Up until this point, I had no issues just flashing the new zip over the old without a wipe. Figured it might just be time to start clean and see if that would restore speed. I did factory reset and wipe dalvic but it says dalvic must be cleared via adb. I'm using amon 1.5 recovery but I though I read that it clears the cache anyway despite what the message says. Is this true? Phone seems to be better than before.

Has anyone else had issues with sprint voice mail closing when opening emails in the default email app? It also forgot my mail accounts so I had to re-enter them.

Is there a way to isolate the market place apk. That's the only Google app I want on my 25 Sep build. Is this possible?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] leadfoot9281:
Gmail is attached to market somehow. But market is just the vending.apk file if you just want to try to single it out.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cozkramer:
Should be fine just unzipping the gapps file, then pulling the apks out that you want and installing them...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Newklearx3:
So I'm confused some people like the October 25 build others say its way too slow. I'm pleased with my sept build so should I flash this update?
