leadfoot - thank you for porting that theme!

dsixda - Without your kitchen this wouldn't be possible. F*ing clean software man.

Darchstar - For the Kernel. Awesome man awesome!

Collin_ph - Any extra battery life is great!

JsChiSurf - Love your dialer. Sry I didn't ask before adding it to this rom but didn't figure it would be a big deal.

MrDanger - Your rom is lookin' good. And thanks for helping my users out here and there too.

KyleIsTheBeast - For my first rom ever flashed. Bittersweet was good while it lasted and hope to see you dev'ing in the future.[/SIZE]
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Redfox85:
Hell yeah! Although the neighbors didn't appreciate me running around in the front yard naked! Hmmm.... Maybe I will try the backyard next time.:p
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MrDanger:
Good job. I'm glad somebody finally got a CSouth Rom on here.

If you need any assistance let me know.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Agpilot!:
Ok I go to filedropper site but all I get to download is an empty folder, 66.7kb????. Has the file name but no data, or am I completely missing the right link? Do I need to join to download? Thanks, would really like to try this ROM out.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kaisum:
I got the download, followed all steps, it says that the zip is bad. I deleted the old one, transferred a fresh one to card, same story. I'm downloading the zip again just to make sure it didn't corrupt while downloading.

Anyone else run into this problem?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hanman:
zip flashed fine for me. Just booting up :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bicione:
Can this be used in other non-sprint heros?

Also, I was wondering if it is possible to have like a stripped / universal version for non-sprint heros and then install CS’s or other carrier’s stuff apart like DarchDroid did with his naked rom with Google ****s apart.

Thanks for sharing it!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Redfox85:
I downloaded it from the link with no problem. I did the following:

1.downloaded the zip

2.transferred it to the SD Card

3.HBoot

4.Created Nandroid

5. Wiped everything

6. flashed in zip file

It works pretty good. I can't get my yahoo account to work. I also can't get the new widgets to download to the phone and work. They download and then I don't get them. Hmmmm....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Redfox85:
Anybody know how to change pri version? Mine is 1. Something but my non rooted phone is 2.51_013
[Hero CDMA Android Development] decepticon:
Even though I am on AT&T with a Magic and Captivate it is good to see some Cell South love around here. I will be using your rom to flash to as many friend's Heroes I know.

Bring on the Incredible, Milestone, and Galaxy S now C South!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pound24:
yeah i got the same problem
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
That is odd. I have no idea tbh, but I'll try to check it out.

From here on out, any questions asked will be answered in the 2nd post on this thread.

***link is fixed!! Any issues please report!***

And yes this rom should work for non-cs users, but always take caution and do like you do with sprint roms, and it should be ok (and for those who didn't get voicemail notifications, this should support it)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pound24:
somethings up with the link again i got an error saying the the files is no longer there
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Agpilot!:
Just want to say thanks, working well here!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pound24:
could you send me the file there appears to be a problem with the link
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
To Mr. Danger, yes I will need some help soon. I want to branch this rom out to a couple of different versions. 1. With no apps (well junk apps anyways) with helix launcher and no sense, 2. With no junk apps with sense, and 3. Just the full montey (like now but with no issues)

@pound24. I just tried the link. It's working fine (from mediafire, not the old link, I removed that one)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pound24:
i used a different computer and it worked about to flash in a sec
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jbreakfield:
This may be a dumb question, but you do need to root before applying this ROM, right?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] beaudreaux:
Yes, the phone has to be rooted before loading anything except for the stock updates from the carriers.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] halfevildruid:
I don't see any reason it would affect cs users, your apns file can have many providers info in it for pushing mms and accessing web. While I have not looked at the file in the rom you have, if you take a look at stock apns for regional carriers you will see some set up for 30 or more carriers. I have some apns files with 96 carriers support listed... I suppose the best way would be to add the code to your existing apn and give it a go... shouldnt be any problems I can think of with other carriers as long as those apns are left in the file and the alltel ones are just added.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
Update!

No more boot locking when you don't have partitions. more to come soon!

also @halfevildruid - I think all the altell settings are already in this rom. Open it up and pick through it. It even has the stock altell backgrounds :P I will however incorporate your fix (or at least see if it is already there) but first I just have to ensure this update fixes a few things.

***Update*** (again)

I am going to push the new update soon. There are a few things that sadly did not make the cut. Here is what IS and IS NOT going to make it.

IS: Apps2SD, Updated Facebook, the usual Live Wallpapers, helixlauncher,collin_ph battery update, xda app, and vUV kernel
IS NOT: auto copy un-needed apps to SDCARD (I am working on it for the next update though, will be a flashable update when I am done)
-Android Terminal (I have no idea why it FC's if installed with the rom. Just install from the Market once you flash the rom)
-All apps copy to sd from rom once A2SD is activated. I am leaving well enough alone here, even when I manually tried to copy and symlink the files, it was a no go. But moving dalvik and all apps installed after flash is good enough I would suppose.
-Xda Keyboard - Same issue as the Android Terminal. Great keyboard I was going to keep a suprise but you can always flash it afterward.
Changed:
-A2SD: Downgraded to last version. Works great and does not cause any issues when there is no EXT partitions.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jeepman007:
Where is the APNS file located and is there by chance a list of carriers to add/remove if need be?

Also does that list get updated from the original CS RUU or when you dial *228?

My data roaming issues might be resolved in there maybe?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sippi4x4man:
How does this Rom compare to the DangerRom2.1 that I am currently running?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
@jeepman, I have found a way to update the prl file, but cannot figure out how to extract the prl from the update.zip file from the original ruu (it's there but it's in img format?! I have tried my DAMNDEST to extract the damn thing but can't seem to find a way)

But yes, *228 'should' update the prl (but didn't for me)

I'll post a link to it. In the mean time, the update is go!

@sippi4x4man - Honestly.. I don't know. I never downloaded or flashed his rom. I do know it is pretty similar to mine, but I think mine is more updated at the moment. There are some things he has that mine does not such as removed apps auto copying to sdcard so you can pick out what you want instead of adding them from a zip file, but to each his own.

@halfevildruid - Sorry bro but I wasn't able to find where to put the apn info in the rom and I was running out of time to get it up. But if you can give me the instructions on where the apn settings are in the rom (just download the rom, dump in the android kitchen and everything will be available, or you can just extract the rom) then I will go ahead and re-build with those settings and it would be great to cater to more folks :)

Also if I could ever figure out how to get this stupid prl file to extract, then I could have this thing set up with the newest prl. It's possible it could just be able to be put in @ flash time via the update-script but I don't wanna really risk it unless I know what I am doing. It's always a learning experience.

If anyone wants a crack at that file, here it is: http://www.mediafire.com/?c43x5vaa1e42fx6
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jeepman007:
How do you know the prl didn't update? That would explain why data wasn't working when roaming.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
I think it did finally work for me but it took some time and just ended up showing up one day... I should have backed it up.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] studdyhalllooser:
is there any way i can get your fist image from you? i tried messing around with the live wallpapers and i want to go back to the default image you had in the rom. Have been running the rom for a few days and no problems. fast and smooth. thanks again.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
Do you just want the images, or the roms? I will post them up soon.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] studdyhalllooser:
just the images...i like the fist image set. anyway, i did a restore to my last backup with your rom. i have the images back now. only thing is if we change the wallpaper we lose your image. no big deal but it is a cool one to have ya know.

thanks for the rom again! good job!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
to get the wallpaper out, go into adb shell, navigate to system/customize/resource and they will be in there, you can copy all of them to your sdcard to pick out by typing 'cp * /system/sdcard'

hope that helps! :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dean.d:
Great update. Faster and smoother than the beta release and battery seems a little better as I have been messing around on it half the day. Only problem is the terminal. Tried pushing from adb and downloading from the market. F/C with the push and doesn't install from the market. Other than that this is the best phone has been thus (yea I know, who says thus?) far.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] studdyhalllooser:
the whole command prompt idea is still a little foreign to me...got them out of that location by unzipping the rom on the computer. same thing tho. 1.5 final is great. love it. no glitches so far. good work man!

thanks again
[Hero CDMA Android Development] studdyhalllooser:
made a youtube review...welcome to use it

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1EkpZwfPWI
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bbrosen:
good video, cs users need to see this...I am updating rom now as I post this...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bbrosen:
seem to be in a boot loop, trying to update, wiped everything first...I know it takes a while to load but should it be starting the boot sequence over and over while waiting? i do not remember it doing that before, any ideas? ill give it up to 20 mins then retry i guess
[Hero CDMA Android Development] studdyhalllooser:
before you flash the rom you need to partition the sd card. its easy, read the second post for partitioning the sd card for a2sd. do that step and then re flash the rom.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bbrosen:
card was already partitioned.....but i think it is ok now, tried 2nd time, thank you though....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dean.d:
I went into the shell and

system/app rm jackpal.androidterminal.apk

Then pushed the non borkked apk that I used for beta. F/C every time. Market app won't install. I try a different terminal and when I type su for superuser it froze twice so I uninstalled. It might be a permissions problem but idk. Other than this, the best Rom for CS rooters in my opinion. All other app go to SD and performance is great. I thought it could be the new superuser but couldn't come up with a logical reason why. The only reason I use the terminal is for when I'm not at a pc and for setting memory for better battery when I'm away for a while.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jman83:
I downloaded the terminal app straight from the market place as soon as ROM installed and it worked fine no problem.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dirtpan:
Hexskew:

One I've noticed so far. When I hit the Home button the first time, I chose Sense to be the default action. It seems to keep this only temporarily though. About every 10th Home button press or so I have to reset the default action. This causes my home screen to reload. Any one else experiencing this? Other than this, great release! Got TON of apps and siting at 130 something megs. Is it the apps that take up so much room or the dalvik-cache. Seems to me it's the cache. Memory didn't free up until I moved it to sd.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
@dean.d - This is rather strange... Would you pull a logcat and send to me when you try to open the terminal? I would like to get to the bottom of this.

@dirtpan - I have noticed the same thing going on with other people on the stock 2.1 update without even root. Let me ask what programs you have installed? It seems to stem from something you install. I don't know why or what, but something must be conflicting... I have been needing to get with my friend and check out the logcat to see what happens. Also does it do it if your using helix launcher?

It may also be (and what I would suspect even more) one of the widgets fc'ing in the background causing rosie to crash... so if you would also give a list of the widgets you have on your main screen (don't worry about the ones you just have installed, just on your screens.)

Is it possible to use this rom on ntelos?

I plan to flash to the 2.1 ntelos rom, so I have the latest radio for my phone. I'm currently on bittersweet with evdo rev. 0, and am hoping I could get rev. A by doing this.

Next I would like to install this rom. Does this sound like a good way to do get from bittersweet to this one with evdo rev. A?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
@jerrai - If your already on bittersweet, then this rom should run perfectly for you. As long as it's a cdma phone, you can flash our radio and use it, it will have no bearing. A word of advice though. Do not download it from mediafire. We have been having problems with bad downloads from that site, and if you flash a bad rom, no problem, but you flash a bad radio and BRICK! Your phone will be worthless...

Also I wanted to add that I have no idea if this rom will up your evdo revision. Actually I think that has a lot more to do with the radio than the rom.

So I tell ya what to do, go ahead and update your phone to the ntelos 2.1, go ahead and let the pri/prl update to the latest version (because for some reason my rom does not let this happen) and then go ahead and flash mine :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jerrai:
Sounds like a plan. Thanks. I'll let you know how it goes when I actually get a chance to do it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dean.d:
I wiped and reflashed the rom. Downloaded the emulator from the market and it works fine. It must have been an error that I had caused because everything is great now. A2sd works great with zipalign and cachesd. All has went according to my expectations and am 100% satisfied. I even flashed the circle battery for the task bar and it works absolutely no problems. My bad for worrying you with my mistake.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
***@EVERYONE!!!***

There have been MANY a bad downloads of the file from mediafire.com, and finally I have come to a resolution to the issue. If you see the first post I have updated the information for both the CS 2.1 Radio update file and the Rom itself.

The information in particular is the MD5 Hash of each file. This 'hash' is a mathematical calculation of every single bit in the file. If just one bit is changed, and you check the hash on it, it's going to be totally different. READ UP!

For Linux users it's easy as most distros come with the md5check utility, and for Windows and Mac users I have provided a link to a completely free md5 checking utility with instructions on use.

Every update from now on from me is going to have an MD5 hash by it. I strongly reccomend that you check to ensure that hash meets up on every rom you download, because it can mean the difference between a happy phone, and in the case of a radio flash.. a bricked phone.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] studdyhalllooser:
i have installed a bunch of apps from the market and my phone storage keeps going down? not as much as the size of the apps. is this the size of the cache growing? im down to 142mb. not a big deal but just makes me wonder.

thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bbrosen:
I am pretty sure thats what it is, i use a cache cleaner for rooted phones and it keeps the cache size to a minimum, I started with 152mb free and after all apps installed and running for 2 days it went to 132, cache cleaner then ups it to 140 and holds steady...

I’m on nTelos and had bittersweet, but I moved to South Paw.

*I gained evdo rev. A (had rev. 0)

*No more 100% battery uptime (compared to the latest version of bittersweet).

*MMS worked for me

Here are the instructions…your luck may vary. Not sure if voicemail notifications work with nTelos.

1.	nandroid backup

2.	download htc sync and stock rom from from ntelos site

3.	backup existing prl http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=661430

4.	flash hero with stock rom

5.	root stock rom and backup http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=581869

6.	downloaded app that needs root to verify I had root access (you don’t have to do this, but it may be a good idea)

7.	downloaded South Paw! V1.5-Final and verified checksum

8.	copy South Paw! V1.5-Final to sd card

9.	wipe Dalvik cache and wipe data/factory reset

10.	flash South Paw! V1.5-Final

11.	did NOT flash the radio

12.	after phone has booted "DIAL ##3282# and then choose "Edit Mode" when it asks for a password enter 000000. Go into Advanced and change the "MMS Server URL" to JUST "https://". Now click menu, then Commit Changes. It will say that nothing was changed... That is fine." Adapted from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=658755
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
@jerrol - good to see it works man

@bbrosen - yes its the cache of the apps that eat it up.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sippi4x4man:
I followed the steps ***How to setup a2sd/Swap/JIT*** under the first post, and instead of getting 149mb of free space, I went from 62mb to 122mb. Is this normal or is it possible that I did it wrong?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
Did you already have a handfull of apps installed when you set it to cache to sd? If so then that is why. No matter what when you install apps things will have to go on the internal memory and that will suck t down. However the good thing is you can install quite a few more apps without having to worry about bogging down the phone.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dean.d:
1 thing I noticed is the in call fail pad is stock and not the black one. 2 mods that work are super circle battery (in increments of 1%) and the vanilla lockscreen w/wallpaper.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
@dean.d - I am aware of this, unfortunately I have yet to figure out how to get it to work for all buttons as you said.

Feel free though to take a shot at it! All you have to do is rename it from an apk file to a zip and open it up, extract everything and see if there is a way to copy the dials to all spaces. I have a feeling it's in one of the xml files, but cannot figure out how to.. decompile them? Not sure how it's working out but it's not stock xml files cause I can't open them with any off the shelf text or xml viewer/editor...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sippi4x4man:
Yea I had quite a few apps already installed. Would it improve my phones performance if I uninstalled everything and then performed those steps and then reinstall those apps?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] studdyhalllooser:
Will removing the Google talk app have any adverse effects? Just wondering as it is always running and eating up around 4 mb and I never use it
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
Well... It depends. Has your phone slowed down? And how much memory do said apps actually take up on the phone? This is a tuffy tbh. I can guarantee that you will have more space on the phone but not 100% sure that it will perform better, but if you feel like it, its worth a shot.

I think I have heard that removing Google Talk will mess stuff up but I cannot confirm. Hey if you want just do a nandroid first and then take away as you please! If you mess anything up just push a copy of the offending software back onto the phone! Anything you uninstall/delete you can find to push back by just opening the system/app folder from the rom's zip file

[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sippi4x4man:
My calendar is working fine : )
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
Really on the wallpapers working with sense it's a damned if you do damned if you don't situation. I kept the CS 2.1 Rosie because of how smooth it is. If I put in the modified version I just don't feel it works well.

Also I would like to ask has anyone used vlingo? Its like google search but you can voice to open some stuff but the keyboard It comes with rocks hard! This is the only keyboard I have used yet that doesn't have lagg.. At All!! Man I sure would like to pull THAT out of the apk :p however I absolutely do not condone piracy and its good software so give it a shot from the market.

fix for widgets

Is there a known fix for the downloadable HTC widgets?

I used the tip calculator in my old rom, but for some reason it shows as downloading but never installs or shows up in the widget list.

Anyone tried this and noticed?

Anyone?
