Hi,

I have a little trouble when flashing this rom. I downloaded the EXTBLUE_04SEP.zip in the first page of this forum. when i'm beginning to flash the rom on my G1 i get this error "E: Error in /sdcard/EXTBLUE_04SEP.zip (Status 7)"

Any idea on this error? Did i do something wrong?

Thanks and Regards

The problem I see is trying to flash a CDMA hero Tom on GSM G1.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] klaydze:
My previous ROM is Super D 1.11 then i decided to flash this rom on my G1. I do the useal thing when flashing a new rom.

1.Wipe>Wipe Data Factory Reset

2.Wipe> Clear dalvik Cache

3.Wipe> Wipe EXT partition

4. Partition Sd Card> Repair EXT partition

Thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whitey10tc:
To my knowledge you would not be able to use THIS CDMA HERO ROM on a GSM G1 device. There is a big difference between them and is why you get an error.

But hey if you get it going on a G1 have fun with it.

Good luck
[Hero CDMA Android Development] klaydze:
Can you enlighten me on CDMA hero Tom on GSM G1?

Many thanks for the help!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whitey10tc:
THEY ARE TWO DIFFERENT DEVICES different radios different technology. Different hardware, everything is different.

THIS ROM WILL NOT WORK FOR ALL THE ABOVE REASONS

it would be like me trying to flash the T-Mobile GSM G1 ROM on my Cellular south CDMA Hero. It just won't happen.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] klaydze:
oh i see. its to bad. anyway... i found other froyo in xda also. its called froyo 2.2 Chromatic 4.5. I just intalled it with no problem. :D

Many thanks for the help!

The CM6 Rom includes a recovery tool built into the ROM. ROM Manager includes the ability to flash ClockworkMod Recovery. This recovery tool gives you the ability to perform back-ups. So if you have already flashed CM6 onto your phone, just go into ROM Manager and select the first item, and go from there.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] RammsteinNicCage:
I just bought a new 8gb memory card. Did a wipe/factory reset and a wipe dalvik cache. Flashed the rom, flashed gapps. Then, I tried to do a nand+ext backup and got the run via adb error. I used to get that error on my 2gb card and thought it was because of a space issue, but I had plenty of space on the new card (only had the rom and gapps on it at the time). Afterwards, there was a backup on the card that was over 100mb... was the backup actually successful then?

I was able to do a regular nand backup afterwards.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jkolton:
Is there any way to get flickr integration with this rom? Was that a sense only feature?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ElAguila:
I may have missed this when reading thru the posts. Is there a version of PDFViewer that will world with this ROM? I tried installing the one from 2.1 and the install failed. I pushed the sojourn over and that didn't work either.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rulyskull:
i lost trackball light(not a complaint though lol) also were is launcherpro stored?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] trindy:
How charged is your battery? I get that when I try to backup or restore and the battery is low.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
I have gotten that with low battery and when my phone has been on without a reboot for a while. If you didn't have low battery, just try rebooting the phone and try to nandroid via adb again.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ElAguila:
I started using launcher pro and my phone is not sluggish any more!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hotelmariofan:
I can't do a three way call. I start a call with it, then when i click add call it lets me type in a number and click call but then it's just silent. after about a minute or two it has the busy sound, and i know its not really because i called my home phone when no one was using it and it still said it was busy. I was just wondering why it did this. I have the september 4th version. I'd appreciate help.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Algeman:
3-way calling

Rooted phone and now have multiple roms bouncing back and forth working just great. Had a few problems along the way but have always searched and found the answers. (usually answered many times over) So this noob offers an answer to an unasked question. Cm 6 on my phone does not like 3-way calling. When you dial the third person to bring them in the conversation it rings like once and then silence. The first person is still on the line just muted. Found the solution. Just add the 3rd person again. On the second try it works just fine. A few more buttons to push but it works. Fresh did not have this problem (on my wifes phone, but I dont care for sense) Son is calling from boot camp in the next few days and had to figure out how we all can talk no matter what number he calls.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Algeman:
Wow, answered the question before I read his post. Scary!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 1Crazee_J:
You can use Adobe pdf viewer. You can find it in the market and it's free or you could use documents to go, but you would have to purchase that in order to make that happen though. Hope that helps....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nolig2278:
The hero is amazing with this OS, thanks to all who made it work.

I get FC when trying to setup a imap mail account after i have configured all the settings. Anything i can do?

also, is the calendar searchable?

is pinch no longer available, or is this a sense only feature?

using the Sept4 Blue OS

thanks

Hey guys I'm having trouble with the clock in the notification bar it keeps getting stuck and only refreshes after I reboot.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] johnnywhitesa:
is the vanilla version cyanogen's 2.2 RC1?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] spenceizzle:
After flashing the September 4th nightly, my GPS is working perfectly and the 2D gallery is flawless. Only problem is that the mediaserver process is always running and causing my CPU to go up to 100% and destroying my battery. The CPU drops down to ~40% when I dismount the SD card, but that isn't a permanent fix for me. Anyone else having this issue?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rjj1976:
I am NOT having let problem at all, my battery life has been great. Great ROM.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tso1:
Hello - I'm a NOOB here, but used to frequent XDA back when I ran WM phones...

Anyhow, I'm really liking this BLUE Rom (Nice Work!), but I can't find any Live-Wallpapers that will work on my Hero...Any suggestions?

Also, how can I import mp3's as ringtones? I have a file expl prgm, but I can't find where the stock ringtones are located, and the phone won't let me select anything other than stock ones.

1 final thing - Is there a way to edit the text of the Icon's on the home screens? For example, instead of the Icon saying "Messaging", can I change the text to just say "TEXT" or something like that? Same with the icons... Is there a way to edit the .png for the icons?

Thanks in advance guys... sorry if that's a NOOB question, but I'm relatively new to Android.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] AmbientNoise:
So the 9/4 build is awesome and I have virtually no issues except that the thumbnail of the last picture taken in the camera will not rotate vertically when I view it.

And I still cannot send messages longer than one page. Is there any way to fix this without using handcent? Or if i change the setting in handcent, then uninstall it, will it work with the messages app?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Vandelay007:
If you create a folder in the root of your SD card called Notifications it should work...

[Hero CDMA Android Development] cachorropedorro:
I liked this rom but I had 3 huge issues. It made my phone heat up like crazy even when the screen was off and I was using Advanced Taskkiller so nothing was running. My camera wouldn't take any pictures, it would just lock up for about 5 minutes and reboot. Also my battery ran out super fast.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PMDColeslaw:
Task killers cause issues on froyo roms and huge battery drains. Let android do what its built to do and close what it needs to when it needs to.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] ElAguila:
Where in the settings on this rom do you go to have it calibrate the accelerometer?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] denstark:
Check out Ringdroid in the app market -- It takes your mp3s and can easily cut them up for notifications, alarms, ringtones, etc. Really great app.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dgatlin:
*86

I love the rom!!! Excellent work!!! I am using the blue rom...

I need help...I keep getting an alert that I have a voicemail. I am using Google Voice...it keeps pulling a message from *86...

Quite annoying...

Thanks...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] trindy:
^^ go into your call settings and change the voicemail settings from *86 to your phone number

I *think* I may have found a way around that forever voicemail notification.. I've noticed that I dont get it when I leave a message on the server so instead of deleting them I leave it there
[Hero CDMA Android Development] systemshock869:
Posting from Sept 04 build right now.. The only issue I've. Found so far is that it won't mount the SD card.

Do I need to reformat it? When I insert the card it says "preparing SD card," then says "SD card safe to remove." It never actually mounts the card. Has anyone had this problem?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dgatlin:
I use an app called Ringo Pro...it allows you to use mp3 as ring tones.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] altpersona:
yesterday i made the leap from freshrom 2.3.3 to extremely blue.

today i leaped back.

the battery life on EB was terrible.

otherwise i liked what i saw in the rom.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rjj1976:
Your kidding, right? My battery life is better then it ever has been and I have flashed so many ROMS in the last 9 months I can't count them.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] blane73:
You really have to give it a day or two in order for it to become stable. If you read threw the pages here there is a battery tweak. I haven't even tried it and my batt is very good. On a reagular day of phone use I can get about 14 hours. Don't be scared of the 2.2. Try it and you will learn how much better it really is.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
You should calibrate the battery, especially when coming from a Sense rom. Not doing so can cause overconsumption by the system, draining really quickly.

Also, you may want to try the paid version of JuiceDefender. Its $2.99, but I was getting about 20 hrs between charges before using it. Now I get somewhere around 75-80. So worth it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jxr94:
I want to know if you could post your camera app that has the gallery 2d built in for people who run the nightlies.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] swapped:
this rom is just sweeeeeeeet!!!!!

wow, it works great. I installed this morning and been running great!

I had 1 random reboot so i'll keep an eye on that. Camera works great both pic and video (main reason i didn't switch sooner). i'm surprised the built in tethering actually works. is this type of tethering any different then what you would see with say easytether or pdanet; meaning can sprint see it any differntly then when I use those apps? I love this rom and think i found my final rom (except for updates of course).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jason kiDD:
Could some relink the Vanilla Sept 04. Media fire is down and has been down for a while...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] daryelv:
Here's a flashable ZIP that will do three things...

1) add the 2D Gallery apk

2) replace the Camera apk to use the 2DGallery

3) remove the 3D Gallery apk

As always, nandroid before flashing, I take no credit for the above apps, I only packaged it into a ZIP file to make updating easier.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] JynxRD:
I don't know if this has been asked or not but I've noticed something strange. I always turn off Auto Backlight and set it to something bright enough to see clearly but not so bright, so I don't waste battery power. However with this ROM I'll notice that sometimes I turn the screen on and I can barley see the screen its so dark. I'll go into settings and auto is still off and the slider is still where I left it. I have to touch the slider and boom it brightens right back up. This happens a few times a day.

Added sendspace mirrors to the OP.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] UCCS:
thanks for the extra mirrors! awesome
[Hero CDMA Android Development] JynxRD:
So exactly whats the difference between this and the one you can download for the CDMA Hero directly from Cyanogen's website?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] UCCS:
Argh for some reason my text messaging wont receive any messages. It can send them out just fine but thats it. Ive tried reflashing it, even switched from vanilla to extremely blue, and nothing. Ive triend using handcent but that does the same thing. I searched the forums and didnt find anything. anyone else experiencing this problem and know how to fix it.

Besides that though this rom runs great and really fast thank you
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ac1dslayer:
i ran vanilla for a while .. ran fast got mostly everything to work but wifi... reflashed now everything seems to be working. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] joachim123:
the Sendspace mirror for vanilla is the same sendspace link to the blue.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Dan330:
sept 4 extreme blue is running great...

question: how do you update PRL and other similar files??

I tried to find them on the phone.

thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hotaru:
adb shell "echo 11>/dev/qct_diag_enable"

and then use cdma workshop.

or flash back to a rom that includes epst and all the stuff necessary to make epst work, and then nandroid back after you update the prl.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] shawn328:
I found using adequate i couldn't getany lwp to work so i used launcherpro and zeam the first 2 or 3 times they might not load then they work i now run any lwp flawlessly and without out lag. I guess adw doesn't support Lwp's very well
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaybob413:
My apologies, the link is fixed.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] altpersona:
i did not calibrate the battery, im not sure where that option is. (a quick look at google says you cant calibrate the battery. is this snipe?)

if a $3 app can give 75 standby hours, thats a done deal.

i may give it another shot, but i really hate switching roms every day.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Dan330:
thanks... I was hoping there was a more direct way...

but.. I guess I can nandroid...

i am surprised that they (developers of CM) did not includes this feature...they are doing a great job!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
Calibration of the battery can be done by this process:

1) Charge to 100% with phone OFF.

2) Boot to recovery (still charging) and wipe battery stats.

3) Reboot to android, and once rebooted and fully charged, remove from charger.

4) Use normally until phone powers itself off at 0% (letting the battery do a full cycle).

5) Recharge to 100%, and go about your business as usual.

Just as a heads up, battery stats are built over time, so the first 10 charges after doing the calibration will be your weakest, but it gets better over time.

The other thing is that battery drain is dependent on a lot of things. I personally have a very minimal homescreen, as in no apps and 1-2 lightweight widgets per screen. Also, the settings chosen in JuiceDefender will have a drastic impact in terms of battery consumption while sleeping. The focal point of JD is controlling data usage, as in activating data for a short time on a set interval, deactivating it over a certain timeframe, limiting usage to 2G in certain scenarios, etc. If you use talk 24/7 and keep 3G on all the time, it won't make any difference. Just giving fair warning.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] piranah:
I am getting a lot of freezing and random reboots with the sept 04...ill flash again, just thought id put it out there
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ghuqu:
I had the same issue with this as well, it froze a lot during normal use like playing games and stuff. I've wiped my phone since then and re-flashed the SEPT 04 version and haven't had any more problems.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dgatlin:
I am a NOOB...so forgive...

How do I boot into recovery mode?

I know how to do it while the phone is on...how do I do it while the phone is off?

Thanks...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] RammsteinNicCage:
Hold down the volume down button and press the power button (end button).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sputnikk23:
yeah so... i needed to walk back to this here keyboard to um.. say... I LOVE YOU. This is SOOO smooth with the uncapped kernel. I was struggling for a while to get a smooth setup going and I think I'm finally there. Thank you. And that quetano guy for guiding me to the perfect setup.

:D:D:D:D:D:D

I LOVE my hero.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
Actually, thats how you get to fastboot. It's easier to just hold down the Home button and press the power button (make sure to hold Home until it vibrates). This will boot straight to recovery.

My pleasure, boss. I live to serve.:D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] scotteik36:
I am having trouble with bluetooth connecting with my macbook with this rom. It pairs but wont connect. Will that be supported? maybe it is i just don't know what i'm doing wrong.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ElAguila:
Does anybody else have any problems like this or is my accelerometer messed up. If I hold my phone and just let one side tip not even 10 degrees(tipping side to side not rotating) the screen rotates 90 degrees. I didn't really want to turn off the screen rotation but this makes it un-workable as I can't hold my phone perfectly level all of the time. I was going to recalibrate the accelerometer but I can't find that option in any of the settings on this rom.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mattynealo:
I am having the same issue. If it's laying on my desk I pick it up the screen is rotated. also when I pull if off my hip I have the same problem. I did the same and looked for recalibrate that was in the stock 1.5 rom and i couldn't find one.

Thanks,

matt
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rickyq12:
So I finally updated the ROM from 8/26 to the latest 9/4...everything works great. MMS,GPS,WiFi,etc...no problem...thus far. But it seems a little laggy compare to the previous version I had installed(8/26) Any ideas???? the biggest lag that is noticable is switching from one screen to the next and my app drawer is not as smooth. Running Launcher Pro.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaybob413:
Updates Posted - 09SEP

Updates posted after repo sync at 9AM this morning. These have only had the standard 30 seconds of exhaustive testing, so YMMV. This still has:

* Gallery3D removed and the 2D Gallery instead. (Push apk from old version if preferred)

* Camera app is modified to use 2D Gallery (Avoids battery pull after review)

* Google Goggles is working (at least for me).

* Full install of loadable kernel modules. (Wi-Fi, Compcache, TUN/TAP, IPv6, ...)

* Built with USB_FUNCTION_DIAG for CDMA Workshop, QPST

Additionally, reverted Default IO Scheduler to "deadline" from "noop".

To set scheduler to "noop" (04SEP version) do:

adb shell "echo noop > /sys/block/mtdblock3/queue/scheduler"​

To list available schedulers do:

adb shell "cat /sys/block/mtdblock3/queue/scheduler"​

The schedule currently in use will be listed in brackets. Other schedulers can be selected similar to the "noop" example above.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] JGeZau:
Does this rom include wireless/wired tether?

Thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaybob413:
Wired tether works, but once you have enabled it, you can no longer connect other than as a network device until you reboot the phone. A bit of an inconvenience, but has worked well when needed.

Wireless tether is available in the market or by download from:

http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list

I have been using 2.0.2 with good results.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] JGeZau:
Thanks. I'll install this Rom over the weekend :-)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
2.0.2 works well, but also the most recent Wifi Tether available at Google Code (2.0.5-pre8) works well. Not quite sure what the difference is, but I always assume more recent versions are better. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gooseman396:
Rom is great...just installed it but the GAPPS links are broken help anyone?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
The difference is that 2.02 is a stable version and 2.0.5 is a testing version. But hey, if it works, it works :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
Haha touche good sir. I meant functionality-wise, I didn't see a difference. Oh well, though, either one will work. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] emerica6541:
when i flash the rom it works fine then i flash the g apps and it boots up and says touch the android to begin and i touch it and nothing happens i touched it like 100 times and nothing anyone know whats the problem?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dean.d:
Complete wipe/data dalvik you name it. Flashed Vanilla, then gapps and boot up. made it to the google sign in and it froze and rebooted. After it booted back up, i signed in and synced and now it's working good. I had random reboots with 9/04 and 9/09 extreme blue. It would lag so bad that I would have to reboot or it would freeze and reboot itself. i love this rom, mainly the blue, but starting to lose stability with me. Any recomendations such as kernals, tweaks in the settings, ect? Thanks.

P.S. I ,REALLY, like this rom. Been using it since you first put it up.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaybob413:
Added a mirror for the GAPPS on Mediafire.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nicenice19:
Does anyone know why there is no longer a sync option for Picasa Web Albums?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaybob413:
This function was in Gallery3D, which was replaced by the 2D Gallery app to avoid the battery pull required by Camera / Gallery3D interactions.

Attached are replacement Camera and Gallery3D apps for Blue and Vanilla for those who prefer the standard versions. Just remove the existing Camera and Gallery apps from /system/app and install these instead using adb.

Be warned that this will bring back the freeze generated by Camera / Gallery3D thumbnail interactions.

You could have both Gallery and Gallery3D installed and perhaps keep the working interaction with the 2D Gallery and the modified Camera (built into ROM), and still have the Picasa sync with Gallery3D. I don't use Picasa, so I am unable to do any testing to develop that scenario.

Good luck to those who want to try to come up with a scenario that supports both. Please let us know if you are successful.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] diesel joe:
First of all Thanks. Secondly does anyone know if bluetooth voice dialer works on this release?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
It has worked fine for me so far.

I still can't use any version after 1.60, does anyone have any idea why slash how to fix thing?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Androidious:
All I have to say is this Rom is sweet as hell! It runs better than the 9/9 nightly does for me at least. I love the blue so much too.

Well done my good sir :) well done indeed
