I think if the _. 7 ever gets integrated into this Rom it would be my daily driver permanently. Not sure what the changes are in the new one but the stability, smoothness, and battery life are the best I've seen on my phone. But for now I'll stick with CM6. Kinda bitter sweet that infinite has dropped this for wildfire but I can't say I blame him either! Atleast we still have him as a developer, We don't have too many left anymore!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
Well this rom is a hybrid that’s why I could tweak it so well and have friend stream in it, but the new .7 has so many changes that it completely screws this rom when trying to build the 2 into one. I have been working on this since the release of .7 with no luck to date, if I ever get it I will release it but yes I have turned my attentions to sense froyo as most roms will get dropped at the first stable release, to continue deving 2.1 just seems like it would be in vane
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Neo31697:
so in your opinoin which one do you think is better this one or the .7 rom you made? Keep up the great work on froyo i will plan a trip to sprint to show it off once its done and ask them again why it cant be done lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Dono74:
No Disrespect!

Believe. Me I meant no disrespect by any means, I was simply stating the obvious, which is the froyo port which is obviously in higher demand than eclair. Thanks for all your hard work!

Charged my battery fully this morning unplugged at 945 now the its at 25% left. I know others have had better life than mine any ideas on how to get mine good again?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
You could try calibrating the battery
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gaspowered1:
Power OFF your phone.

Plung in to charge. (perferably overnight)

While plugged in, boot to recovery

Wipe Battery Stats

Reboot

Unplug and use as normal

Run battery ALL the way down

Recharge to full

Use as normal

This will start a new battery cycle with a full charge. It should help.

Cheers
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hakujin:
that's a bit different than how i do it, and to some good success (took off charger 12 hours ago and at 85% right now w/ little usage)

i drain tell phone shuts off, wipe battery stats, then charge completely. requires charging to 100% on charger, then unplugging, then when it immediately jumps to 99%, I top off w/ usb trickle charge, then uplug at hundy. works every time!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hakujin:
I'll try one question at a time so as not to overwhelm anyone.

Can anyone share with me how to remove the HTC lock screen and use the Eclair lock screen on this ROM? I tried Fresh Eclair lock screen (supposedly the default), but it doesn't look right on this rom. The sliders go on the top and bottom instead of the left and right side of the screen. Plus the date chars are too big.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hakujin:
Tried this, and same deal as the one I downloaded directly from Fresh. The sliders go on the top and bottom of the screen (i.e. slide up and slide down as opposed to left and right), which make it quirky, and the time font is too big & takes two lines. Are we supposed to wipe Davlik cache before doing this? I did wipe it in hind sight, but the problem persists.

Maybe due to the fact I'm using the ODEXed Rom?

Please help someone!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pwrmedia:
Decided to go back to my NFX nandroid, as it was my daily before giving the latest CM6 nightlies a week's worth of use....

I'll tell ya what, guys....if it hasn't been stressed enough in other threads, I highly encourage you to adjust your LCD settings in build.prop, as it will drastically reduce your overall phone temp, which in turn improves battery life and USB charge, as well as snappier performance.

I've got mine set to 120 (which most people probably feel is too small, but I'm weird and I like compact, tiny font..), and I've noticed the phone is running about 5 degrees cooler when in medium use, and USB charge has increased while phone is in use as well. This setting just looks more crisp on the Hero screen as well, though most find 140-160 is ideal.

Give it a go if you haven't already, and see if you notice improvements.

Build.prop is located in system

Edit the density line w/ a text editor to your setting of choice.

Reboot and observe.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hakujin:
adb pulled buld.prop, but not seeing any density line. care to elaborate... under additional properties?

don't suppose you would also know how to change the lock screen to a proper 2.1 default transparent?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pwrmedia:
Lines should read as "ro.sf.lcd_density =

#ro.sf.lcd_density = "

Adjust the numbers after to your desired setting. Make sure they are in increments of 10; ie.) 160 to 150, or 140...etc

And no, to your second question. I just use WidgetLocker.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hakujin:
no such line in my build.prop. i'm fuzzy as to how this hack increases battery life as well.

anyway, I'll give widget locker a whirl and hop one review I read about it killing battery life isn't true.

Is this what all of you are doing, or do you all just prefer the HTC Lockscreen? Weird that I can't get the 2.1 default transparent to look correctly...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] srb7215:
How do you wipe battery stats? I don't have that on my recovery. Do I have to install a newer recovery or is it located somewhere I just don't know about?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pwrmedia:
I just checked the original build.prop for the ROM, and yes, it's definitely in there. check the second "paragraph" of the build.prop, and those settings are @ the end of it.

To help clarify how this "hack" increases battery life....

-The higher your DPI, the more res your screen is forced to use. Depending on your brightness settings, you're probably draining more battery than you should be. Lower your DPI, your screen uses less res, and, combined w/ an appropriate brightness setting, will keep the phone somewhat cooler and your battery life stable.

In regards to WL draining batt life, I haven't noticed any alarming decrease. I've got haptic feedback turned off on the slider, and disabled interactions for no "pocket dialing", and I still get the same daily batt life regardless of whether I use this or the standard lockscreen.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hakujin:
it should be accessible from the wipe choice on the main screen of recovery. I'd say if you don't have it, go w/ a newer one
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hakujin:
Not there, trust me. Did a manual search and a ctrl F before my 1st response. although I'd say this is odd, I've seen people w/ lots of different build.prop(s) online. anyway, no worries, I don't wanna lower DPI, phone is cool, and I'm getting great battery life w/ this rom after recalibrating my battery. also love have the number indicator now!

Also, I tried that WidgetLocker, and while I love the idea, you can still see the original lock screen sometimes and I've had sense shut down twice now while running this app. I'm not saying it's a ram killer, but this relatively rare occurrence so far w/ this rom combined w/ a few missed called, and the general quirkiness where it hides, doesn't replace, just has me yearning for a proper default transparent lock screen. I wonder what everyone else is doing... widget locker or do some prefer the HTC lock screen?

I deleted the HTCLockScreen.apk from system/app, and even installed both the version somebody posted here (and I linked) and the original Fresh vanilla lock screen for 2.1 and both put the stinking sliders on the top and bottom of the screen. I read somewhere how this might be do to some cache folder and that is supposedly cleared now, but same deal.

Just strikes me as odd nobody has discovered and resolved this issue as the vanilla lock screen is the more popular of the two, not on this ROM per se, but in the community as a whole.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ahager88:
The lock screen used to do that on fresh as well. Can't remember how they fixed it. If you delete your lockscreen and just reboot what happens? Nandroid first...

I've been using the rotary lockscreen forever with this Rom I think the one I use is a flashable that jschisurf made
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chrish03:
Delete the HTC Lockscreen and then Flash the rotary lockscreen, reboot. Then flash the vanilla one. That was how I got it to work.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hakujin:
sweet! will try and report back. was hoping it wan't due to ODEXed ROM as I really don't care for themes, and prefer the slight speed enhancement and more storage memory.

found this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=686567

and the first shot is exactly my screen. if i delete htclockscreen.apk, it just goes to this. will try installing rotary from this link (unless there is a newer version?) but says NO GO on ODEXed roms is that correct? I'll def. do a NANDROID before attempting, but are any of you running ODEX? and

If all goes well, I will then go with Fresh stock lock screen. Kinda digging that rotary too... does it also have the HTC clock bug? come to think of it, i don't even see android clock in this ROM, but I suppose the Fresh lock screen + clock w/ mitigate that.

will keep you all posted. thanks!

O.K., moved HTCLockScreen.apk (previous times I just deleted;doesn't seem to make any difference), flashed rotary lock screen, and vanilla is all that comes up, but same problem, on the top and bottom.

Looks like this:

Shouldn't I be seeing the rotary screen, and is it because I'm running ODEX?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] BOO5TED:
Yeah, it's all better now for me too. I even went back to ugh, stock to see if I could fix it. I thought I screwed up the radio for a minute. Still had the same problem, so I flashed NFX again. By the time it finished booting up, everything worked again.:)

Ok, WTF it's doing it again. :mad:

hi there i need some help with porting my Sprint Htc Hero to 2.2 can you please help me? My name is Vienessa.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hotaru:
three things:

1. your post is in the wrong forum (this would be the right one), and is way off-topic for this thread.

2. double-posting is generally considered to be bad forum etiquette.

3. to put 2.2 on your phone, you need to root it, install a custom recovery, and flash a 2.2 rom. you can find information about how to do those things here.

hi im not a newbie but i rarely post because i usually dont have many problems but i did have one when trying to flash over the bloat signed i keep on getting error line 4 in recovery mode at end of flashing please help?!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stat30fbliss:
I flashed the Rom. The phone takes about ten minutes to boot up, and when it does I only get a status bar at the top with a couple of items, and a black screen.

I am a n00b, so any help would be greatly appreciated...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Neo31697:
Did you wipe everything?

Sent from my NFX-HERO
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stat30fbliss:
I did not. This is my first Rom so I'm learning. I went back and did, I'm running just fine now, and loving it!

I seem to be having a rough time turning off the vibrate on input setting though. In settings it shows its off but it's still vibrating. I really don't like it.

Help?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Neo31697:
What vibrate are you talking about? The dialer? If that's it I think that can't be turned off.

Don't be afraid to ask questions its the only way you will learn. Have fun and enjoy your "new" hero

Oh the haptic feedback, on which keyboard? I know there is one that you have to set a custom vibration length and set it to zero.

I just have to confirm this noob question before I go into a screaming ginormus nerdgasm :eek: This is Sense 2.2.... AND WiFi working??? :eek:

I'm not from the CDMA section BTW so it's not that I'm a total noob :p

EDIT: Okay now I'm confused :eek:

EDIT2: This is like FroYo with fake Sense on it but it has all the widgets???

EDIT3: Oh now I get it :p Nerdgasm aborted xD

no this is actually 2.1 rom just my build numbers managed to make it all the way to the 2.2 without realizing this would cause issues once we got froyo

system storage

just downloaded the odexed version of this ROM and its awesome, works great, fast, no problems, however, I did notice that it dropped my system storage drastically, I'm down to 6.98mb, from about 30mb on the deodexed version, any thoughts on what happened? I did all the prerequisite wipes before flashing........is this something I should be worried about, I mean is it going to affect the performance of my phone in any way? if so, what can be done to remedy this?........ Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated........thanks in advance
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
no it is just that odex is larger in size so system space is pushed to the limit.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] patkrepp:
cool... thanks for the quick reply.....been running it for a few hours now and this ROM is great......everything seems to be running smooth, probably go play around with some kernels later.......thanks for the great work NFX
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Never4saken:
Thanks for the great ROM.

Thank you for the great ROM nfinitefx45. I am enjoying it. I am however still in the learning phase after coming from WINMO. But I am truly enjoying the Android World!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Never4saken:
Thanks Peg, that helped.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MoseIlla:
3 day review: I can't say I'm overall pleased with this ROM. I get random reboots, the Sense interface is usually choppy and occasionally the dialer appends the wrong number to contacts from my recently calls.

Coming from Fresh 2.4, the only positive thing I have to say is that Ex Zeus runs noticeably, albeit marginally better.

Some neutral points, which are good but not necessarily paramount to the quality of the ROM are the inclusion of the quick/root boot applications and the blue theme, I think that's a little nifty, if a little incomplete feeling in some respects.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Neo31697:
do you have jit enabled? that is known to cause reboots on some phones (like mine)

there are a lot of veribles that may cause some issues for you, overclocked, underclocked, jit, not enough free space. let people know what problems your having they are all very nice and willing to help
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MoseIlla:
I had JIT enabled, I disabled it thinking that might be the problem, my phone has nothing but free space since the whole reason I flashed this ROM was because I messed Fresh up with a botched A2SD setup.

So I have a class 6 8GB MicroSD card with 512 allotted to apps and practically unused onboard storage. I installed SetCPU to overclock it to about 600mhz, which has never caused any problems for me in the past.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Neo31697:
Ok did you reboot since you disabled jit? You may have to do it more then once.

What kernal do you have running? I just flashed a new one because I had a problem not being able to sign in to gtalk.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] randalldeflagg:
I've had nothing but problems with setcpu with most of the custom kernels. I am using the ZenKernel-HTC-08122010-noperflock. it automatically scales up and down as needed. tops out at 710 and down to 245 for the screen being off. zero lockscreen lag. no lag when swiping or launching apps. runs buttery smooth.

Give that kernel a run for a bit and see how it helps. remove setcpu so it doesnt over ride the settings
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Neo31697:
Thats the kernal I used and couldn't sign into gtalk. I may try it again to see if it was just a bad flash. In your software info what does it say for your kernel version

I was using the kernel that comes with this ROM. I've since moved on to LiquidSense, which is performing beautifully with all of the same settings.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Neo31697:
Well i tried and tried if I use anything but the cryogen (sp) I can't get the gtalk to sign in or market, but the keyboard lag with the above said kernal is horrible . Any suggestions
[Hero CDMA Android Development] randalldeflagg:
There should be a bunch of scripts you can run from gscript. One is CPU frequency and another is for set CPU. Just out of curiosity what does the CPU freq. Report? It only shows where your CPU has been running at.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] randalldeflagg:
Another is setcpuoverclock. The scripts should be on your sdcard. Just choose loadfile then select one. The do need su.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Set CPU no longer requires that script on the newer versions, it reads your kernel settings :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Neo31697:
How do you turn off the script? I was going to try the cholins tweak to see how that does on battery life.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] randalldeflagg:
Well that would explain the errors when that script runs now. Good to know.

Do i have to change the name of the file to vending.apk and when you say push do you mean copy and paste?

[Hero CDMA Android Development] john.haley93:
I have a few questions. I have done what LiquidSolstice has done, and pretty much abandoned Sense UI. I have nandroid back ups of this ROM with Sense, so if needed I can turn back. I don't know of anything I have done wrong, except I might have removed a system app by accident that has affected the Market. So my first question is, what can I do to fix the market? It only shows my paid apps, and I can't download anything. I downloaded the Market.2.07.apk and it successfully downloaded. I just can't download anything.

Furthermore, is there any way to permanently alter the user dictionary? I can add words and edit and everything, but because of the modded keyboard (I think) whenever I reboot my phone all of my added words are deleted. Since I am an avid texter this can be quite a pain.

Thanks again for this incredible ROM and all of the help and hard work! Keep it up!

I got a notification today via Sprint that said there was a mandatory visual voicemail upgrade so I installed it.

Now the voicemail widget is broken on this ROM. Any idea what might have happened? I can still get to voicemail via that voice mail app, just not the widget...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Just reflash my version in my sig :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
just remove the one on the screen and add it back from the add widget menu
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bandd:
Tried that. It didn't seem to work. I can add the app, but then it won't be all fancy and show me visually how many voicemails I have.

PS the update was just to add some stupid feature where Sprint will make your voice mails go voice to text. There is a 1 month free trial then it costs some amount there after (per message I'm guessing)...pretty lame.

Rebooted and it's working now.
