It does take everything out. Except for your sdcard, which is where your nand backup will be. There is an image file in the rom.zip that is extracted from the RUU called nv_SomethingSomething.img, which I suspect is the actual PRI file, but no amount of searching has revealed how or where to flash it.

Also, I think there may be some confusion about the PRI vs the PRL. They are, in fact, two different things. The PRL is the preferred roaming list, whereas the PRI seems to have something to do with the radio, although I am not really too sure about that. Again, searches have not been too fruitful. I guess it is some big secret.

I would add one thing to what hexskrew said about renaming the nandroid backup, and that is do NOT use spaces. Everything I have read mentions bad things happening if you have spaces in your filenames with nand backups. And by bad things, I just mean it will not restore. So just keep that in mind.

Oh, and unrooting your phone is as easy as running the CS RUU. I have done it twice to my phone. The first time to get the updated PRI, and the second time to get the updated PRI back after a hard reset.

Yeah, I was responding the the question above my post. I have to say it is great how easy it is to root now. I did it the hard way with the gold card and everything.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MrDanger:
This is a wide spread problem across many platforms... (Desire, EVO, etc)

It is nothing that one man or ROM has done.. it is something on Facebook and HTC's side of things. We can only wait to see when it is fixed.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
I just wanted to confirm that I have in fact found the right kernel to flash for overclocking/undervolting and will be uploading that update tonight.

Also if anyone would like to add, which speed would you like to start at? 680 or 710?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pound24:
thanks i will try it
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jeepman007:
Hexskrew, I am running the DangerRom2.1 clocked at 710, it works very nicely. I have had it running for a little more than 2 days and don't see any down side yet (like battery drain or heat)

As for those having to reroot to Sprint 1.5, then CS 2.1 I would recommend writing down your MDN/MDIS #'s. Although mine where my phone #, they where changed somewhere along the line of bringing the phone back to root and custom rom.

Life is good for CS Hero owners now. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pound24:
thanks everyone i have the new pri and i will be going to baton rouge today to test the data and i will let everyone know how it goes
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
I am happy to announce another new update for today :) This may be the last major update for awhile but I will still be working on it here and there :D

Check back in about an hour and I will have it posted
[Hero CDMA Android Development] iamafireman:
I am in limbo between your rom and the other CS rom. I noticed you removed maps. Does that mean no navigation?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
@iamafireman: the navigation panel is there but you have to download Google maps from the market because we were having update issues with it, and removing it from the Rom and fully re-downloading it fixed the issue. I will be trying to re-include it in the future.

Variety is the spice of life, and its even better with a nandroid backup :) I encourage everyone to try a couple of different rons and just use the one you like the best.

What is that widget you have on the homescreen that looks to turn on/off bluetooth, GPS, etc.?

Random Reboots

I've had a few random reboots while using this ROM. Has anyone else had this problem?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
haunches: Hey man, I wanted to ask, those lockups.. were they after you flashed this newest update? If not, go ahead and update to this one. Everything after this should be pushable updates.

If it was after this update, did you make sure to wipe data, dalvik, and cache? If not I would do that first. Also if it's with the newest update (try this before the other option I gave) download overclock widget from the market and bring your max clock down to 680mhz. If everything stables out then it must be some odd thing about your processor. As far as I know 710mhz should work for ALL heros but maybe NOT all (though I never heard otherwise). 780mhz is what is scary to run. I have never ran it on my hero, but oh well. Happy romming!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pound24:
ok i have the new pri i went to baton rouge today and guess what...still no data when i leave ms. this is really becoming a problem has anyone come up with a fix?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] iamafireman:
Just flashed and have a few questions.

On the wifi how do you change the settings to a secure network? I changed the network name and added the encryption made a password but it doesnt work.

When I install apps are they automatically added to the sd or is there something special I have to do to add them there.

Also when I flashed I wiped and clear cach, but now I only have 93mb of internal storage??
[Hero CDMA Android Development] haunches:
It was after the newest update; however, this is the first update I really tried to use (I played around with the ROM before, but I was waiting for OC/UV to get settled in). I wiped dalvik, data, cache (I even wiped my ext partition.)

As far as overclocking goes, I kept the max at 710 (I had read that was a stable frequency for the Hero), and I kept the lower bound set to whatever the default for the Overclock widget was.

I also tried MrDanger's DangerRom (which is also overclocked) and had a random reboot.

Right now I'm running a ROM I made with the kitchen that lacks the task killer tweak and the OC/UV kernel, and it seems pretty stable, so I'm assuming it's one of those two things.

Thanks for tip, I might try to bring the frequency down and see what that does.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
haunches: Well me and MrDanger is essentially running the same roms (though not intentional) but we ended up using the same kernels. This seems like a start. Honestly I cant see what else would cause it. If you would check out the task killer tweak on your rom and see what happens. I doubt that is the issue but we might as well cover all bases. If that is the case, I will go back and add documentation as needed. Seems really odd though...

iamafireman: As long as you have the settings correct it should in fact connect. I use wpa2 and though I never manually set it, it always connected fine. Is there any way you could turn on ssid beacon on your router? If so just let it automatically find the access point and save the profile. That way you can turn it off and the settings will be spot on. Sometimes some devices will not accept certain connections (such as wpa2 highbrid mode). It all depends on if the software supports it. There is also some good (very few but good) network utils on the market you should try.

Also, about your memory card... That is VERY odd. sorry if that phrase has became redundant.. I have left all scripts as is. I can tell you you have to add a partition with ext3 (or 4) to your memory card to use apps2sd [this can be done in recovery easily, but it WILL erase your entire card so definitely back that up first before doing so, unless you manually partition your card in which you can still end up accidentally erasing everything on it.] I have not messed with any of the scripts so nothing should copy to the card unless your using apps2sd, and even then with pre-allocated space on the ext partition (I use 512mb worth from 2gigs) it shouldn't take THAT much space. Look around on your card and see how much capacity it has and see what you have on the card. btw, nandroids can really suck up a lot of space if you don't delete or export your old backups.

Anyone found a packet sniffer yet? lol. I am still wondering if there is a way to get jasager working it :)

I really wished I would have remembered to add the xda-dev keyboard (as knugz had in it) but it's easily flashable.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dgl3906464:
I like the switch pro widget, too; lots of options. 99c
[Hero CDMA Android Development] justin251:
ok. I'm having trouble creating a gold card.

Right now I'm running 2.1 that I got from the cellular south website. As in it's all stock.

So do you have to install the sprint 1.5 ruu? THEN root that THEN install the new rooted 2.1?

I R confused. Can anyone put the complete steps in order without slang terms so we are all on the same page? That would be awesome. I've been reading and reading and can't figure this stuff out.

I'm also stuck at nandroid. Apparently you have to root first but then how to I back up my stock rom?

I figured out how to hack psps quick enough. lol

Get beautiful Widgets. Almost like the sence clock and it has tons of skins
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sippi4x4man:
I've got that and weather/toggle Widgets but I really like the sense bookmark,mail,message and calendar Widgets. If I can find a decent replacement for those ill try out aospmod again
[Hero CDMA Android Development] leadfoot9281:
Hmm post in the app forum. I'm sure there is something out.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dean.d:
Launcher pro plus has all the widgets you need plus, they are resizable. Not hard to get a Sense feel with AOSP and launcher pro.

Is it possible .....

I installed this rom and love it but, is it possible to have the following with this rom?

1. disable menu menu unlock

2. voice keyboard

3. add extra wallpapers

4. different lockscreen

5. Circle battery

If any of the above is possible, how? Can the above be achieved with any of the themes on the first page? I have Metamorph, the Deodexed versio, and a nandroid backup of this rom, but not sure how to accomplish the above.

Thanks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] leadfoot9281:
I have a circle version of the battery I can give you later but it only shows numbers by the 20's or no numbers at all. And by adding wallpaper just do it like any other wallpaper unless you mean something else and I'm not understanding the question

And yes you can take out lockscreen and use the rotary morph if you like.

But you must have the deodex version to do that.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ldl72:
Thanks for the info.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jeepman007:
By chance does anyone know if it is possible to use a Sprint EVO on CS? I was given an Gen2 if I can get it to work.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] leadfoot9281:
No, I had a nexus one and they said I couldn't do it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Asadullah:
Has anyone tried this rom on Metro pcs?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
I know it has the mms settings in the apns-conf.xml but dunno if there is anything else you would need. Flash it and see!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jeepman007:
For those who might understand the workings a little better than I, might this be possible but mirroring the Hero settings to get more powerful phones working on CS network?

Text to Speech

Cannot get text to speech to install with this rom. Has anyone else had this problem or know how to fix? Thanks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] leadfoot9281:
That looks like its just hoe to set up mms for the sprint network. I think there is alot more to it than just that.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] leadfoot9281:
No but that is one of those apps that sometimes has a problem installing whether your rooted or not.

android market server down?

everytime i try to access the android market it says that the server is down. i keep retrying but still no success. i have tried searching around but cannot find a solution. i guess it must be just my problem? that being said I am a TOTAL NEWB haha so its most likely something on my end. i guess i will restore my old stuff then flash the rom again. but if anyone knows anything the help would be greatly appreciated.

btw the rom looks great and i had no other problems than that! thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] leadfoot9281:
Google has been getting overloaded the past few weeks. The vending.apk included in the rom is the same as stock so shouldn't be a issue there.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
Well.. Actually the market included is NOT the one included from the stock RUU, as it's an updated market that was ported from another phone (hence why you have the widget for the market with this rom), BUT with that being said.. I haven't had any problems with it besides sometimes stuff wont start downloading for a while (this market DID fix it originally...). Actually I am glad you brought that up though because I didn't post that in the update details :P

To the previous poster with the market problem: Did you make sure to wipe dalvik, data, and cache prior to installing? Also which provider are you with? If your with Cellular South it should work regardless, however if not then it should still work as this is confirmed with Sprint phone (except VVM but there is a way of installing that as well).

Also, from another previous post, about getting better phones from one carrier to say cellular south. I think that is the proper way and I also think this has been achieved, just wish I could buy an Evo for cheaper than $375..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jrahboy:
I am not too sure but I am with Sprint. i used rom manager to install the rom and it was right around the time i passed out :D i will pay more attention next time! thanks for the advice.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
I never used rom manager, so I dunno if mine is compatible or not (sounds cool though, gimme a link!).

I have always just downloaded a rom, copied it to sdcard, went into recovery and wiped/flashed from there.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jrahboy:
yeah I just downloaded rom manager in the android market when it was working (before i flashed the new rom:D)

it had the option of "installing rom from SD card" so i figured that would be better than me doing it myself! worked great! except for the market part haha
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ldl72:
Market

Cannot connect to market using 2.1 Final-Deodexed. Tried all of the suggested fixes....wipe, reboot, clear cache, clear data, etc..

Edit... I can sign in to the market, but I get "server error" afterwards. When I flash my 1.5 nandroid the market works as it should.

V2-Final works fine for me but I cannot get the text to speech to work.

1.5 Final works. The only issue is that I cannot update Google Maps. This is what I am currently using, but would like to use the latest also.

Does anyone have this problem or know of a fix. Thanks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Market issue, they've been having them for a while
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ldl72:
Thanks for your reply.

That is what I have been reading, and I understand that that could be the case, but how is it that when I flash V1.5 Final. Everything works.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Yeah, just the way it is right now with Gingerbread coming ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] leadfoot9281:
Its not the same? Lol no wonder that theme wouldn't work on the market.

Btw I might be able to hustle up a nexus one for cheap if you think you can set it up. But it is a maybe lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sippi4x4man:
Just thought I would pass on that deca has released new bfs capped and uncapped kernels on his thread. Also there is a new kernel released by aospmod that can reach up to 844mhz....when I find the links I'll post them. I've been running 844 fine but some are reporting lockups and reboots at 827

EDIT: Capped and Uncapped CFS & BFS Kernels can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=756774

I have attached the aospmod 844mhz kernel (http://bit.ly/d19YEm)

Wow, 844mhz huh.. that's insaine lol. Nice quad score to.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
:eek::eek::eek:844mhz?!:eek::eek::eek:

~~~~HAAALEHLUYAH!~~~~

Hey man with the market problem, I am going to make a flashable zip for you to go back to the standard market :) *as soon as I flash this here kernel lol*

Damn! Now how is the scores with aosp or 2.2w/froyo?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sippi4x4man:
If you tweak all of the settings "Just Right", i've seen folks post up screenshots of 500+, aosp has one up of his hero and the score is 518. Personally, I have never gotten past 420. No matter which kernel, setcpu setting,governor or sample rate that I have tried has gotten me past that so I don't what these guys are doing to get higher. I think there is a mention of it on deca's page on how to get 490+ if you just feel like showing off, but he doesn't recommend it. As for my hero, I did not see any drastic differences in performance from 768mhz to 844mhz. Some folks actually said that having setcpu set over 806mhz made their phone slower due to hardware limitations. I say give it a shot and see what happens I guess. I have switched back to this rom with deca's latest stable uncapped kernel. I just can't seem to go very long without my beloved sense...By the way, does anyone recommend a specific Min Sample Rate in SetCpu? 10000 worked great for me on froyo but it locks my phone up with 2.1. I think it is set to -1 by default.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:

Hey folks, I really REALLY need your help, ANYONE who is viewing this post please respond ASAP!

Is there anyway to integrate FriendStream into a Cellular South rom? I know that it comes on a Sprint Hero stock and works nicely. I find it alot easier to use than a facebook and/or twitter widget. I just tried out a Froyo with Sense rom from Team FUSPRINT and it worked great, but it is broken down from a sprint/gsm rom. I have attempted to install/push it with no luck...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
Sorry I have been neglectful lately. Yeah that friend stream should work fine, just push from another Sprint rom and shouldn't be a problem...

As far as the market, I apologize, but if you want, download gapps (2.1 version) and just extract and push that to the phone, and you shouldnt have any problems (but I WILL be making a flashable zip to help you... Wish I would have thought of it earlier when I was home..)

@ldl72. On the a2sd issue, have you partitioned you sdcard for it? After you do that, it will work automatically.

Here's a how to, but BACK EVERYTHING UP ON YOUR SDCARD FIRST!

Wow dude that is badass! Hell if you feel up to it I would make it a new rom man! I am done devving, but looks like that would be cool to run by itself, or you could make a metamorph so anyone can enjoy it. Either way, that is one awesome theme.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sippi4x4man:
I might take it to the store tomorrow. I have Cellular South and they are rarely helpful with repair issues/problems. Ive been surfing around for a while and noticed several sprint users with this problem and they either had their unit cleaned by a tech or they were issued a refurbished phone. I used the TextCS option and they are saying that its pretty much "my problem". I wonder if Sprint would clean it for me if I flash one of their Roms that actually has their logo on it, I don't know if they check....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] leadfoot9281:
There phones are branded with sprint on the glass do they would know it wasn't there's. But maybe they would just do it to help ya out regardless. Worth a shot.

Well I tried the vacuum cleaner method as suggested on the Sprint forums, fail. Took the battery out and back cover off and used an Air compressor, fail. Screen looks much worse. I guess I'm gonna take it apart. On a side note, I had my hands on a samsung showcase for a few hours yesterday, it puts the hero to shame....

Not sure about the hero but the glass in a iPhone is real easy to take out with a suction cup like you would find on a toy or one of those "baby on bored" signs.
