I am still having issues with EvDo when roaming. I was in El Paso TX and got it working then it dropped. Which seems to be the case where ever I go. Its as though I am getting blocked after a few minutes of being connected. Maybe it doesn't recognize my phone/carrier for billing purposes?

Anyway, I found this link about backing up your PRL which correct me if I am wrong is where the EvDo list is kept. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=661430

And if this is the case, does someone have an updated PRL for CS that they wouldn't mind sharing? Currently I am showing PRL 10004.

Also, since I am having issues with my calendar FC'ing, can I extract the APK from a backup using the kitchen and then push it using ADB?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bbrosen:
correct me if I am wrong, but southpaw is from the cs ruu so should it not have all the proper radio and roaming lists etc etc needed already? yesterday they did have issues with data in general. I kept bouncing from 1x to evdo to no data all day....called cs and confirmed this
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jeepman007:
From what I understand, after a rom is installed you do the *228 to update the PRL list. Since my first root I have been on the same PRL and have had issues roming even in places where I had no issue before the root. I am wondering if the PRL fails to update when using a rooted phone, which would explain why data roaming is an issue.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sippi4x4man:
I was always under the impression that if you were a Cellular South subscriber and rooting your phone using a Cellular South Rom that there would be no phone/data issues whatsoever.....

I am also having problems with sync accts. My outlook is not properly updating and gmail is doing the same thing. Anyone else having this problem?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sippi4x4man:
I have been having the same problem over the last 12 hours or so, I have been unable to sync my microsoft exchange account as well as my gmail account. I assume its an issue on HTC or Google's end.

If you are still having issues with the live wallpapers, check out this thread:

http://geekfor.me/fixes/rosie-lwp-fix-opengl/

I flashed this to my phone and the live wallpapers worked on sense, adw and launcher pro. Some of the wallpapers that didn't work before, worked with this file and they worked much faster/smoother. The only bad thing I have experienced with this is the force closing of sense if you try to add a widget to the homescreen, however, if you flash this and use adw or launcher pro it works great. I am still waiting for a fix for the sense force close.

can a rooted phone roam and not notify that it is roaming? i just got dropped from CS because of excessive roaming. where i lived a month or so ago i would roam when i went inside. now in starkville i never roam, however after 2 days of the rom i got dropped from CS because i used too much roaming data again?!? i knew i was on my last leg with them but i dont ever recall roaming since being in starkville?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
@Studyhalloser-the only way it would not report that your on roaming is if you had a sprint prl on your phone. Also I wanted wanted to ask have u been tethering a lot lately? They may kick u way faster or that than just roaming data.

Also for the sync problems.. for the past 2 days my phone has been going crazy. I really think it has to do with cs's towers. I have no probs whatsoever when on wifi.

Also about the prl issue, you have to unroot to get the latest prl and pri. I need to do that sometime. And I think it as to do with the prl. Itself cause the update comes with it. As far as roaming goes if your roaming now where you were not before its not cause of my rom because my rom doesn't touch it (though wish it did cause it would be right imho)

If anyone would be so kind as to backup the
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jeepman007:
Could someone tell me what the prl version is? Hex you said you had a way to update? I am finding a lot of different version #'s. Want to make sure I'm not chasing my tail.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
@Jeepman007 - Yes I have searched around and.. 'supposedly' there is a way to update it, but I really have not harped on it because well... I still don't have the actual update.

The pri number is: 2.51 201

That file I posted a couple pages back? Well... That IS the update, however I dont know how to flash it, and yet the only other option is to flash the RUU to get it and then back it up and then reroot, and then flash my rom. PITA it is. I just have not had the time to do so yet...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jeepman007:
I reverted back last night. My pri is 2.51_013 and the prl is 10004. I will try to figure the update out then get it backed up. I tried awhile back to do this but never could get the tool to recognized my phone.

As a side note this is the updated pri after reverting bittersweet to sprint 1.5 then the stock 2.1.

After doing research, I am finding Cellular South info to be very limited. I need to know what PRL file is being used by those who have a national plan. Apparently, other carriers have PRL files that correspond to their data package. Basically this file will contain the Evdo tower info needed for preferred carriers when roaming. Based on my search, the 10004 files might be a Sprint PRL, but I cannot verify until someone with a CS Hero who has no roaming issues posts their version.

Thanks for any help.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
Don't mind the last two numbers I posted on that prl. You have the latest one. I'm still on the 1.x prl

Wi-Fi tether

Does wifi tether chew through the battery for everyone else? Even wall charging doesn't keep up with how fast it uses up the battery...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jeepman007:
I checked another Hero today that was stock 2.1. He had the same PRI/PRL so that is a dead end.

Is there by chance another setting (MEID/IMSI) that might cause an ID/roaming issues with carriers trying to ID who to bill?

And as a side note, I REALLY hate my phone in stock form. Man is this thing clunky. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] studdyhalllooser:
yes i was tethering a bit. just normal browsing tho, no youtube or anything like that. went to CS today and was told it was because i have been roaming for 3 consecutive months now and broke the 50/50 rule??? i have been in MS since i had the phone so there is no way i was out of the coverage area. The lady at the counter said shes never heard of a phone roaming inside MS. they are pulling a roaming report on the phone now so maybe ill get it turned back on. nothing but bull from CS since i got the phone. sucks that this rom made me love my phone so much and now they kill it! lol

Removing Apps

Hey Guys,

Do you know the command lines for removing stock apps that I do not use such as Helix Launcher, Voice Dial, Setup, Home Switcher or others that come with the ROM?

Thanks,
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dean.d:
Thru adb type

adb remount

adb shell

cd system/app

Now you can type

ls (that is a lower case L)

This will give you a list of the .apk's so you can find the correct name of the app you want removed. To remove, just type

rm

Then type the apk.

ex. rm com.helixproject.launcher.apk

Be SURE you type adb remount. That changes the files from read only to read and write. Any problems let me know.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sippi4x4man:
You the man. I will give it a try now.

Much appreciated!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
@ jbreakman. Well I have always noticed that everything to do with wifi sucks down the battery however there's no reason why it should outpace the charger unless your charging on usb to the computer.

To all - Wanted to say I am taking a little hyatis from this project however its for the good of all of us. I have decided I am going to try my hand at android programming. I will be around and I will still support the rom but especially since its nice and stable and generally up to date I am going to be focusing on my certifications in networking and on the side I am already working on a universal APPS2SD, dalvik, and jit gui config utility! Tbh it doent look like much right now as I just started learning the ropes and it doesn't actually do anything yet but rest assured you.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] leadfoot9281:
Hey I just wanted to say thanks for the sweet ROM! Make sure to keep us posted on any apps you get up and running, I'm sure a few of is would love to show our support.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bbrosen:
Yea thanks a lot, I appreciate the work you and anyone else has done and not asked for anything. Most people on this site have been very generous. Don't be a stranger....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
Sorry for the cut reply. Ill still be around but I'm just not going to be updating the rom for awhile. My other reason why is because unless something greatly improved comes the hero's way there really wont be a point in upgrading the rom. Btw just to let everyone know I just came back from slidell and no roaming whatsoever. Last time I was there I was on aloysious and it roamed for a couple of hours (actually half that with no signal at all) and I don't even have the updated prl.

Soon though I will be posting a howto on pulling the rom into the kitchen and adding and deleting what you want and then rebuilding it. That way you can have it however you want it!

Oh and one last thing! A few folks have asked about the extra Widgets from htc. I don't understand why they wont update and its something happening all rooted roms. I. Remember who it was but someone has a flashable zip with all those files. Ill try to find it and post it later.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] leadfoot9281:
BTW I went to covington la the other day and had the 3g data there but I never pay attention if I'm roaming or not. I do a fair bit of traveling so if I see a problem I will let yall know but so far so good.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sippi4x4man:
I removed both of the apk's that had the phrase facebook in them. I think I need one of them back. Before I deleted them I would get the "Share with Facebook" option after I took a video or picture and now this option is no longer available. I know one of them had a .com at the beginning but I can't remember the name of the other one. Anyone know?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
The second post gives play by play with pix on how to push programs to your phone via adb. Also you can just reinstall the facebook app from the market, but that second app you deleted was the HTC sense widget. Your going to have to pull that one from the rom itself. Just download or open your existing zip, search through the /system/app directory and it will be there.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jbreakfield:
Hey hexkrew,

I thought the same thing, but I was using a wall charger, and the wifi tether was draining the battery faster than the charger could keep up.

I've had a few other freeze-ups where I had to do a battery pull, so I think I'm going to re-flash and start over and see if that smooths things out
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
Just to ask did you change any of the settings in the batt-cfg (Collin_ph) utility besides the defaults? Reason being is I would only think it logical that if you accidentally bumped the minimum speed up high and was using wifi, then that would definitely do that, but as far as stock settings I never had issue. Maybe a setting messed up when you flashed. By all means make sure you check the MD5 before you flash.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jbreakfield:
I was wondering if the battery tweak could be the problem. The only setting that I didn't use the default for was the first one, where it has a choice of 1 or 2, 1 is underclock, and I forget the wording of the 2, but I picked "2" the last time I did the settings. Think that could have caused the problem?

Edit: I changed that setting back to the default, and now testing it out. I'll report back.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
Well.. No. 2 reverts to the stock 710mhz defaults of the rom itself, which is nothing new. That's what you start out with when you first flash it... Maybe the batt-cfg program messed up the settings when you did that and put in a higher minimum speed. That's the only thing I could think.

However that does make perfect sense now, because yesterday I only had about 3bars left of battery, so I selected 2 myself to speed it up to do a few things (because collin_ph's standard settings slow the phone waaaaayyy down once your battery gets so low) and it was like I was putting the phone through the ringer as far as the battery life afterward. I think this maybe a bug...

The next iteration of the rom will have the updated collin-ph utility in it though. It's still going to be a while from now, but also I want to see if anyone has any lasting bugs before I go re-devving it again so the next version is even more stable.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jbreakfield:
Seems like it may be a bug... I changed it back, and now running wifi tether, the battery is doing fine on the charger... before, it actually went into orange just a little while after I took it off the charger, and it had been on the charger for hours. I also had several complete freeze-ups that resulted in a battery pull after I changed that setting, so I'm going to run it with the (1) setting and see how it does in general.

BTW, thanks for the ROM, and the input!! Keep up the great work!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
I just had the same problem today. Had to perorm a battery pull earlier. Set back to custom defaults and now it's smooth sailing again.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dean.d:
Well i'm rockin a clockless task bar, a rotory lock screen (without text but with wallpaper), on this bout it rom. Oh yea, super circle battery. Pretty customizable, i'd say.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jman83:
Does anyone here know if the new Cyanogen mod for Hero will work with csouth Hero's?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Flip260z:
Yes been using it for weeks. I don't get everybody's reasoning about whether it will or wont work. If it works on a cdma hero it will work on our phone.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
*Guilty Pleasure Report*

Yeah. I flashed the nightly build last night and I am loving it. Found fancy widget and downloaded, downloaded launcher pro and changed the default pic to be like the sense 2.1 rosie... Beautiful, functional, fast as hell, and rockin' hard! Seems to be very stable. I highly suggest trying it out! You may not like it, because there is not sense ported to it (yet) but it's really really nice. My only downfall of it I would say is battery life, but then, that's always been an issue, and it seems now at least not much of an issue, just not as great as 2.1 (though the same was touted about 1.5 from 2.1)

Just remember if you wanna try it out, do a nandroid first. It's a beautiful thing. Actually I have always condoned checking out other roms. Also to all of you who would like to try, Yes it will say Sprint on the lockscreen and the status pulldown bar, however it's just coded to say that, it will still be on CS (or whatever carrier you have)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jman83:
@hexscrew Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Flip260z:
You can remove the sprint words in the cyanogenmod settings. And voicemail notifcation works which seems to be the case with all asop roms.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jbreakfield:
Have you done any roaming with that ROM? If so, how does data perform while roaming?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
@jbreakfield - Roaming actually doesn't have anything to do with the rom per-se..

The Sprint roms have the settings built in that will convert the phone to all settings being set to the Sprint network, which is why you have to go in and change a few things as soon as you install a Sprint based rom so you wont be stuck roaming, however with that being said, ANY AOSP rom is carrier neutral. It only goes by whatever settings were on the phone when you flash the AOSP rom, so if everything works fine now, it'll work just as good on the Cyanogen or any AOSP rom for anyone on any network.

*Side Note* fyi, I am not sure if it has to do with it just being a nightly build or if it's a known pending issue but SMS/MMS does not work out of the box with Cyanogenmod roms.. Download Handscent to use messaging (also some are reporting that MMS is not working with Handscent either, however I really don't care cause I don't have MMS on my plan. Got a pic, just email me I say.)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jbreakfield:
Ok, thanks, I didn't realize that about roaming. So that's when you would change the data profile?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MrDanger:
If you push this eri.xml file to /data, it will correct the "Sprint" and change it to "Cellular South"

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6890640/eri.xml

Just something I did when I was using 2.2 on the hero. :rolleyes:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] koickj:
no pic mail

i need some help i just flashed the rom good fast. but i cant get my pic mail working...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] StuckinMemphis:
How do you do that pushing the xml file to /data? Will it improve my data connection problem I am having with Cyanogenmod 6?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] iamafireman:
I am in Fl. and have been roaming for 2 days. Roaming as i type.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sippi4x4man:
What/Where is this Cyanogen Mod you guys are talking about? sounds like its awesome, maybe I'll give it a whirl. Is it one of those nightly builds from Cyanogenmods.com
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
@Sippi4x4man- Well, what Cyanogenmod 6 is, is Android 2.2 AOSP (that stands for Android Open Source Project) which is basically a built from the ground up version of Android by the community (or in this case Cyanogen). I have to admit it started out great. But as time went on, it didn't meet my expectations. Ok so here's what happened. 1st I couldn't text! So found I had to download handscent. Not a deal breaker I said, so that's what I did. Worked fine. Then I downloaded Pandora and the Weather Channel program (for the widget) and that worked fine... Well then.. My phone seemed to lock up for some odd reason so I did a battery pull, and booted back up. The weather channel widget, handscent widget, AND the Pandora widget all went bye bye. Not even to be found in the widget selection screen. Odd I thought. But the programs were still there, and they worked beautifully.

So I just uninstalled each one, rebooted and reinstalled/added the widgets to the home screen. Well, my phone seemed to lock up again, so same thing happened all over again, but THIS time it was DOG SLOW no matter what I did or cut out. Bottom line, 2.2 AOSP is awesome and I very much admire the folks behind the project cause they know a SH*t ton more than I and have really made it far, however it's just not 'there' yet.

This also was a nightly build that I downloaded and as such may have unforseen bugs in it being fresh out the pot. I think I am going to wait until the nightly's have slowed down, and they have a more stable Cyanogenmod 6 out. Luckily I nandoroided

REMEMBER KIDS! NANDROID BEFORE YOU WIPE/FLASH ANYTHING! It may very well save you some headache as it did me. Now I am rolling back with my rom just like I was before I wiped it last ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sippi4x4man:
Thanks for the input, much appreciated! I wish I could do half the stuff that they can
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
*Food For Thought*

-about the widgets missing-

It stems from using apps2sd (the built in 2.2 one, not the a2sd like in my rom though you can do that too on cyanogen). If you have this issue, uninstall whatever program with the widget, and then make it download to the internal phone memory.

-about the nightlys-

The standard rc (release candidate) has been found to be pretty darned stable. Nightly builds are just that. Automatic computer generated builds from whatever source has been worked on and fixed that day. It could have been an extra feature, or it could have been a fix, either way someone broke something. VERY common with a nightly build of any software.

Moral of the story is

1 .Use apps2sd if able to instead of the built in a2sd in 2.2

2 .download the release candidate releases or wait for a final build for stability, 3 .Don't pee in your neighbor's yard (have no idea where that came from :P)

3a. Unless said neighbor is an asshat. Then wiz away!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bbrosen:
I was using that too then switched to southpaw because of all the liitle bugs yet that need to be hammered out...southpaw rocks really really does....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dean.d:
Totally true, southpaw is great for cellular south 2.1. I had the rotary lock screen and circle battery with clock gone from the status bar. But I have to say cm6 blue is working great. I flash the gapps to get my contacts back and just removed the ones I didn't want.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sippi4x4man:
When you installed the circle battery widget, did you remove the battery icon in the status bar?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dean.d:
I removed just the clock. I metamorphed mostly except circle battery in the status bar. I flashed it via recovery.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sippi4x4man:
I've tried using metamorph, looks difficult to use. I haven't successfully been able to get a theme loaded. Did you take this circle battery and put it in the status bar?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dean.d:
Metamorph isn't as hard as it seems. I was the same way at first. What helped was just doing one update at a time and rebooting between each update. It got really tedious to a point but I was happy with the results. Search for "Super circle battery for stock". That is where I got the battery mod. You just flash that one thru recovery. Always nandoid before Modding and restore if you get undesired results.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
Metamorph is in fact VERY awesome. Sometimes though you just have to do what dean.d said, which is flash 1 update at a time and reboot between. Sometimes you have to apply it multiple times to get it to work. That's how I got the rotary lock screen on mine :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sippi4x4man:
Thanks for the help and input guys. I was able to get the circle battery mod flashed and it is up and running. Looks very cool!! When I get some more free time on my hands I will give Metamorph another shot.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jbreakfield:
Which CM6 build are you using?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dean.d:
8/22 Blu cm6. It is in the cm6 blue and vanilla thread. Just don't go to the camera thru the gallery or you'll have to pull the battery.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jeepman007:
Does anyone know if themes developed for other roms will work on South Paw?

I am using Launcher Pro and have been following the interest here about Metamorph. Still confused about what can be used with this rom vs others, and how different themes such as Buufed would work as well.

My head gets to spinning trying to figure out what I can and cannot apply to this rom or CM6.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sippi4x4man:
Have you guys run into any other bugs with CM6, I'm at their site, thinking about downloading it
[Hero CDMA Android Development] permanentdawg:
I am a noob at this the only question I have is do I need to follow step 8 on the rooting guide about backing up the PRL by navalynt. I asked this because if you follow the link it refers to the 1.5 OS was not sure if you had to do this if you are already running the 2.1 stock.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] leadfoot9281:
I have been kinda looking into metamorph and seems to be mixed signals. Does it work with this ROM and where do you get themes for it?
