Ok, as you see when you downloaded it that is did not have a .thm. It had a meta-inf folder. That means it is a theme that you flash from recovery.

NANDROID FIRST... then flash from recovery.

Adw ROCKS!

I'm having an issue with the exchange icon not updating unread count (but drivesafe.ly's icon updates), but otherwise much better.

Hey! I updated JsChaiSurf's black themed dialer with the base being our stock dialer, so now we have control of speed dial #2! *and I was getting fc's when I would try to select the speed dial option in the menu, so it fixed that for me as well*

Here's the link: http://www.mediafire.com/?9duxygzh77c4f59

Just push in adb like anything else :)

Sad Day

Unfortunately since I'm moving to Birmingham... Cellular South does not have coverage their so I have to switch cell phone companies. I will still be around... but probably not too much developing for the hero seeing as that I will have a new phone.

I do not know which phone I will have next. I do not even know which company I'm going to. It will be Verizon or Sprint though.

Sad day :(

ROM Installation

I am new at Android modifications; I have updated many roms on windows phones. Does you phone have to be rooted to update this ROM? I am currently using the CS 2.1 update.

Thanks - I know it is a newbie question.

Finally figured out the process. Trial and error.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dgl3906464:
Noooooooooooooo!

(I'd get the Epic, from Sprint... that's just me)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dirtpan:
Can anyone confirm the new apps2sd is working in the latest build? Flashed the new version of this ROM and restored all my apps through Titanium. storage went from around 99 megs to 43. Reboot does not fix, reboot, recovery, move apps to sd does not fix either.

Flashing the new DarkTremors version sends phone into a boot loop :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
@MrDanger - That sucks you are moving, but hey hope it's for a good opportunity!

As far as going with another carrier... Why the hell would you buy a new phone?! :P You wanna go to sprint, that's easy, just install a sprint rom and let the prl info download. You wanna go to Verizon, I am sure there is some Verizon carrier info around here you could put on the rom. HAHA! Yeah.. I am a cheapass.

Glad to hear you will be sticking around on the forums though.

And yeah that's f-ing retarded in my book that Birmingham.. A big ass city in the state right beside the home state of CS does not have coverage... And that is very true. I rode through (before even rooting fyi) a few months ago, and the coverage is not only not there, but the roaming coverage was also very poor..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MrDanger:
EXACTLY!! But it's cool... I am thinking about Verizon and the Droid X :o

New Rooter Question

I just started rooting and I'm still learning so please don't bash me :(. What does radio mean? I have a Cell South hero and think this is something I should know about lol. Thanks in advance!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
No shame here to be a newbie.

@joelolly - It's all good, we all have to be newbies in the beginning!

Here's a little backstory to help you understand the radio file.

There are essentially two major parts to the phone as far as the file/flash system:

1.The radio flash system

2.The regular/O.S. flash/file system *or rather where Android is kept*

When your phone boots, it does two things. First, the 'radio' system is loaded which essentially tells the phone how to use the 'radio' or rather the transcieving system (or rather how to take calls and use data for the evdo/1x systems)

-Second it loads the Android system and that's when you get into the O.S.

The way the root is done, is that the 'recovery image' (either Amen_RA, or ClockWorkMod, or other recovery) is inserted between the Radio system and the Android system in boot, which is why you can screw up the Android system all you want and you can always boot to recovery where-as the radio system... let's just say if you flash the WRONG or BAD radio to your phone.. It's bricked. Do not pass GO, or whatever. Best case scenario is you can take it back in under warranty. There IS no way back from installing a bad/wrong radio. That is the reason why it is IMPERATIVE that if your phone is a GSM phone (for the Hero, it would be the UK version) you can ONLY flash the GSM radios, and for the U.S. versions you can ONLY flash the CDMA versions.

There are flashable radios everywhere that came from the Cellular South 2.1 RUU. It IS the newest radio, so if you updated to 2.1 from CS, then you have the newest radio, which also means you do NOT need to update it further. Really and truely, you shouldn't update your radio unless you have to. And when/if you do, it should be from a reliable source/connection (i.e. landline dsl/cable) and MAKE SURE you don't send the file to the phone via wireless. There is a ton of stuff that can happen to that file any time that it is sent wirelessly, and you really cannot afford to take that chance.

These roms (well 99% anyway) do not include the radio with the rom. Most specifically will say if it is included. My rom had it with my first build, but I decided to dis-include it because no one should be flashing the radio if it's already updated. It's just one more chance something bad could happen, so if anyone needs, I have it linked. I believe MrDanger did the same.

Your phone has to be rooted to use custom roms, but can easily be put back to stock by downloading and installing the CS 2.1 RUU file.

Hope that helps you out! Never think a question is too dumb, just try to search for the answers first and there will never be hostility!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] OnyxFuego:
Thanks for the rom!

I liked the fact that on AT&T, I could just take my SIM card out, pop it into another phone and roll. However, AT&T's pricing drove me out. And with Verizon being basically the same price as AT&T, I wouldn't go there either for that reason.

Sprint and Verizon do have great phones though. I think CS wants to just concentrate on MS and TN and that's fine but it really keeps them from being a "big player" as far as phone updates and selection go and if you want the latest and greatest, you won't get it on CS as soon as other carriers. I am surprised they don't at least try to tap into the New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Monroe and Birmingham areas.

Best ROM for Cellular South Users

This is by far and large the single best ROM available for Cellular South users.

I've had an unprecedented 160 hours of uptime now (for me on any custom ROM that's unreal), 0 random reboots, 0 lag issues, 0 data loss issues, nothing. I've had no force closures and the camera works reliably.

Every other ROM, including the stock CS RUU for 2.1 has given me continuous reboots, bad battery life, data drops, camera doesn't work, there was always something.

It's faster than the stock RUU by a long shot and has never slowed down, I've removed the HTC mms.apk and music.apk and flashed the AOSP keybaord, all with no issues.

Thank you so much for this incredible ROM, this is EXACTLY what us CS users needed. It's the perfect blend of no-themed stock perfection and rootable customizable goodness.

Just wanted to give credit where credit was due.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MrDanger:
Thanks,

Glad to see this Rom is still in use. If anybody wants to take over this Rom and take it to the next level just do so. I'm here to help with that.

I finally switched to Verizon and got the HTC Incredible. I still like to hang around here though and help out where I can.

hey danger, how you likin' that trackball? (or lack there-of)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] drhogie:
Okay -- I'm coming from Bittersweet 1.2 and I'm gonna flash this ROM. Cellular South user here. Should I flash the radio? Or should I run the 2.1 RUU from CellSouth, then re-root? If I should flash the radio, do I flash it just like I do any other file?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dgl3906464:
I would RUU and re-root
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MrDanger:
1. Wipe and Flash radio (like you do a rom) or just RUU and re-root.

2. Flash this rom.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] drhogie:
I ended up doing the RUU and re-root route. This rom is incredible. Absolutely incredible. I had no idea the hero could run this fast! Everything works, no lockups, swype runs great . . . I can't praise this rom enough. Thanks for the advice guys!

[Hero CDMA Android Development] Emilybreanna:
Sorry maybe this is a dumb question, but I am new to flashing. I got the rom flashed over but I would like to reinstall some of these apps. What exactly do I do with this? I tried using Astro to reinstall them and it just says Installation Failed. I also tried using command prompt on my computer. If I type in the above statement I get nothing, but if I do Adb install <path><File> it says install parse failed No Certificates. Someone help please
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Emilybreanna:
Ok I also tried using the Terminal Emulator and I get the error "File write failed. Read only system. I even enable the su command and still nothing.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MrDanger:
Ok... If you want to use the Terminal Emulator.. try this:

su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cp /sdcard/"Removed Apks"/NameOfApp.apk /system/app

Let me know how that go.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Emilybreanna:
Ok that worked on all of the apks except for the htcsettingwidgets.apk.. Go figure? It says no such file or directory but I checked the path 3 times and the name of the apk.. oh well at least I got my contacts and bookmarks widgets back :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MrDanger:
Make sure it is spelled correctly.. it is case sensitive.

On another note... It's about time for everybody to be making that switch to Froyo ain't it?? ;)

I flashed this rom earlier today and I love it. I just decided to set my SDcard up for APP2SD. I followed the steps and i put all my files back on my SDcard and rebooted. My phone as been on the white HTC screen for quite a while!!!! should it take this long... HELP HELP LOL
[Hero CDMA Android Development] heeero:
Working great here... Thanks!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MrDanger:
Sorry I'm responding so late.

Try going into recovery...

1. Wipe everything

2. Reflash ROM

3. Reboot

If you have your sdcard already partitioned (which you stated that you did I believe), your apps will be moved to the sdcard automatically.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] MrDanger:
This theme is to be used with Metamorph from the Market. It is not flashable.

HTC Contact Widgets

I would like to reinstall the HTCContactwidgets from the removed applications. Everytime I try to install either with Apps Installer from the market or through SDK Tools the program will not install. Receive the following message "Application not installed". Any help would be greatly appreciated; I really like the ability to have my favorite contacts on the screen in cubes.

Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] watermark0n:
I'd just like to point out something. The 2.1 CS turns your mobile connection off when you want to share your connection - I can't access the internet on my phone either when the option is enabled. Unless you can find some way to force the mobile network on while native tether is enabled, I don't think messing with IP's is going to help us who are having the problem out.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] watermark0n:
Also, yes, I can confirm that his fix doesn't work.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MrDanger:
Yes, That is correct!

adb remount
adb shell
cp /sdcard/"Removed Apks"/NameOfApp.apk /system/app

Or you can use RootExplorer (on the Market) to locate the apk on your sdcard and move it to your /system/app.

HtcContactsWidget.apk can not be installed like a normal apk. It has to be moved into the /system/app location where it will then work as normal.

I have no clue what is going on in that fix or situation. :rolleyes:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] leadfoot9281:
talked to someone at Csouth who told me it disabled in their system until they can figure out a way to "troubleshoot" it. (i think that means charge for it) but they advised me to use a app to tether. and that's from a service agent from 611 lol.

Windows not seeing the Hero as a drive

Has anyone had issues with Windows not seeing the Hero as a drive after this? It's just about the only thing I'm seeing that's different, other than a huge speed boost :)

I was going to try a couple of other ROMs just to play around, but now I can't copy them to my card...

Also, I see a lot of suggestions to partition the card, but when I go into the partitioning tool, there are way too many options to "accept the defaults". Am I adding a ext2,3, or what?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dfc849:
I'm not sure how much of you are still using this ROM or willing to help me figure this out, but I rooted my ACG Hero and flashed a few different Sprint ROMs before stumbling upon this one. I am staying in favor of your Sense ROM because I often update my PRL through EPST and then have to note SIDs through FieldTrial. For this reason I stay away from AOSP, custom dialers/themes, and chefs that remove FieldTrial (a ~150Kb file?!).

However, I'm not having issues with EPST and FT. Right now, I have an 8GB Lexar Class6 SDHC partitioned 512MB ext3, 32MB swap, and the rest FAT32. For some reason, A2SD cannot be properly configured to use only the ext3 space. In Quick System Info, both internal and A2SD space becomes lower as I install apps (even with Dalvik on the SD). I have seen internal go as low as 35MB when fresh boot is ~145. I have flashed to a couple of different ROMs with A2SD included and it works fine. When sending 'A2SD' as SU in terminal or adb shell, it returns

[ ] Mounting ext partitions...
mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 on /system/sd failed: Device or resource busy
[X] Mounting ext partition failed.

Any ideas? A2SD check doesn't give me errors.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ngholson:
yes i have had lots of trouble with this. i don't know what causes it, but i don't think that it is caused by the rom. it does get very frustrating not being able to copy stuff to the sdcard.

however there is a work-around that i have been using. its a little complicated but it works like a dream. you can use adb (android device bridge) to push files to your phone / sdcard using wifi.

things needed:

android-adk installed.

rooted phone.

terminal program installed on phone.

phone

WIFI

ip address.

open terminal program on phone and type the following

su
setprop service.adb.tcp.port 5555
stop adbd
start adbd

now on your computer open a command window (cmd.exe)

change to your android sdk tools folder (ex: CD\ANDROID-SDK-WINDOWS\TOOLS)

then type:

adb connect [I]<wifi.ip.address>[/I]:5555
adb push [I]<rom.or.other.file.name>[/I] /sdcard

if you need to copy something to the system partition you must mount that partition using the remount switch for example:

adb connect [I]<wifi.ip.address>[/I]:5555
adb remount
adb push [I]<rom.or.other.file.name>[/I] /[i]<remote.dir>[/i]

only thing about this solution is that if the phone or computer have been rebooted you may need to do all of it again starting with the terminal commands.

hope this helps.

EDIT: after writing this i found that there is a free app in the android market called "adbWireless (Widget version)" which will setup the phone side for you. then all you need to do is push the files using adb on your computer. (i couldn't make the widget part of the app work for me, but the main app works great.)

MSU Theme

I attempted to install your MSU theme using MetaMorph in ADLauncher on my rooted 2.1 Hero. AFter unzipping and me clicking OK to load it asked me twice to click continue as it installed. After reboot the lock screen did not change and the Home screen is an enlarged "M" that looks like the lock screen picture in your post (takes up whole screen).

How do I get lock screen to change and how do I select the other screens you show?

Your rom is working great. Hope you are enjoying Birmingham. I enjoyed going there when my son was there. in addition to me 2 brothers, 2 sons, 2 nephews, and 1 niece graduated from MSU.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MrDanger:
Sorry so late... new job and the Droid X is taking my attention :rolleyes:

Anyways first, you have to remove the HTCLockScreen.apk. How??

adb remount
adb shell
mv /system/app/HtcLockScreen.apk /system/app/HtcLockScreen.bak

And the M is there because it's the hack that is used to change the lockscreen wallpaper to that image... you can change you homescreen wallpaper just like you did in the past.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
Not trying to yak, but the problem with a2sd is most probably due to it being an old/outdated version since the rom hasnt been updated since july..

Not hatin' just statin'. Actually this IS a very good stable rom and I have used it in the past.

Oh and to the guy asking why chefs like me take out fieldtrial.apk? Heck I didn't know there was any ACTUAL use for the file. Lol :P

I need a little help

I have already flashed this rom and I like it. I just recently purchased a 16 gb micro sd for my phone. I partitioned it through ROM manager and it appeared like it worked but when I go look at the sd card, it still shows my internal memory to be 74 mb. It doesn't appear to be moving the apps to the sd card. Do I need to partition from the recovery screen? Would that make a difference? If so, what are the default partitions? I am also interested in putting the pink droid dial theme on my phone. Will this theme work on this rom? Sorry for all of the questions.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MrDanger:
Haha.. nice name.

You might want to check out

post to update your A2sd... that kind of goes for everybody :o

If you partitioned in Rom Manager.. then you are fine!

And yes.. putting themes over this ROM is also just fine.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] woowoowooty:
HELP !!!

I flashed a new theme on my phone and it is terrible. My phone keeps crashing. How do I uninstall it and go back to what I had before?? Its driving me crazy.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] leadfoot9281:
As with anything before you applied it you did a nandroid backup right? So all you need to do is do a recovery. Or you will have to get all the original files and push them back or completely wipe and reflash the rom.

Thank you. I love the MSU lockscreen. Looking forward to showing it off Monday. :)

How do I partition my sd card??

I have had more problems partitioning an sd card. I was told to do it through ROM Manager, did it, and it didn't work. Then I read on here how you cannot partition through rom manager because it partitions the internal memory and not the sd card. So I tried to partition through clockworkmod recovery and couldn't do it there either. Do I need a different recovery with the danger rom?? I am so confused and it is driving me crazy. I just want my sd card partitioned so I can put my apps in it. I don't really understand how to enter codes or prompts, so I haven't been able to do it that way either. Can someone please help me before I flush my phone down the toilet? :eek:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hero32:
just doaenload rom manager flash clockwork mod then when it is finished scroll down and flash amron ray recovery and after it is finished power down and go into recovery and go to partition sdcard thats the easiest way i have found and ive been for about 4months with no problems good luck

Live wallpapers

First, I'd like to say I absolutely love this ROM, however I do have one issue. Whenever my phone is locked, and I unlock it, the live wallpaper is no longer working. Is anyone else having this issue or has anyone resolved it?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MrDanger:
Some livewallpapers will not stick... Thats just because they were not made for the HTC Hero hardware

Somewhere in this thread... I linked a place you can go to give a "fix".

That "fix" does break opengl though.. which causes problems with Gallery3D and most 3D games.

Battery is acting crazy

All of a sudden the battery started having problems. It doesn't want to fully charge and runs out of battery EXTREMELY fast. I have not had this problem before yesterday and am trying to figure out what is going on. Has anyone else had the same problem? Does anyone have any suggestions? Does anyone know of an app that can tell what is draining the battery?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] leadfoot9281:
Spare parts will tell you battery usage. Also try doing a dalvik cache wipe and see it it helps.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] woowoowooty:
Battery is acting crazy

I hope you don't think I am totally stupid, but how do I wipe the dalvik cache? I have another question I was hoping you could help me with. I have a partitioned sd card and A2SD, but the internal memory is still steadily going down. I have only a very limited number of apps because of it. I was told by Cell South that if the internal memory goes below 100 mb, the phone won't work properly. (Which it isn't) I thought the whole point of A2SD was to store the apps on the sd, so space could be freed up on the internal memory. The internal memory on my phone is down to 75 mb. Do you have any suggestions on fixing this problem? I really appreciate your help, and thanks in advance. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] leadfoot9281:
Go into recovery and you will find the option to wipe dalvik also how did you implement a2sd? And was just thinking you did do a full wipe before you flashed the rom. Didn't you?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] woowoowooty:
Battery is acting crazy

I honestly don't remember if I wiped before flashing the rom. It was a little while ago and I don't know. Someone talked me through the flashing of the rom. As far as A2SD goes, Danger actually spent some time helping me with that. After some checking, he said that I did have a correctly partitioned card and that the A2SD was working properly. I don't know if this helped in diagnosing my problem.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] leadfoot9281:
Well if you don't have a problem app I would try to just do a wipe and see how that goes. It can become cluttered and cause problems over time and I have had to do it before. As far as a2SD goes in really not sure. If you have partitioned correct everything should be fine. How many apps do you have installed?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] woowoowooty:
Battery is acting crazy

I have 15 apps. I usually have more, but have downsized to try to save some memory.
