Email account settings

Not sure if anyone else has run across this, but when you go into the email account and set it to always attach signature it automatically sets the option to go to folder list, and then it will not let you reset the option to always go to folder list.

I only want to see my inbox. I don't want to have to use an extra click to get to the inbox.

Help please.:confused:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thesubliminaljuggalo:
I've tried this and no improvement. ):

And still yet the batt-diag says that my CPU has yet to go above 691.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] androidtechjeff:
i've now done this SEVERAL times as well as fixing permissions in rom manager and applications still won't install. i've even tried downloading .apk's to the sd card and the install hangs. is it possible for just the installer to be corrupted? are there any other fixes anyone can think of? PLEASE HELP!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] spearoid:
I just want to say:

I've installed the Black_Mod Oct 19th edition....and installed Launcher Pro and learned how to set it up beautifully.....and I don't know that I have ever been happier in my entire life.

This ROM rocks!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theremix:
Hi, I am sorry for a stupid question. I just got Hero and moving to android world from Win 6.5. What is Launcher pro? And Where do I get Collins and other tweaks? I have read first few and last 10ish pages but couldn't find where to get those.

TIA.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] spearoid:
I can only answer your Launcher Pro question...it is on the Market. The Google App Store if you will.

You have a shortcut to the store on your phone somewhere. You have to sign in with a Gmail account, and then you can search for whatever app you want.

LauncherPro is free with a paid version available with features unlocked.

And welcome. I too, was once like you, stuck in the WinMo world. The past week has been a journey and I am learning what real "smart" phones can do.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LiquidSolstice:
Without starting anything, I'd like to say that hate for WinMo is severely overrated. There is very little our Android phones can do that WinMo phones cannot, it's the interface that changes the game.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Decad3nce:
I've had the same problem with LP+ before its latest market update and before setting my autokiller to less aggressive settings. I also changed the LP+ memory presets to 'low' in preferences.

I think the lag stems from autkiller competing with a 'heavy' application. I haven't backported all the lowmemorykiller updates from .32 yet.. I'll be getting around to that.

As for your second bit, are you sure you flashed a 768mhz kernel? Because it should scale to 729 if you configured it in batt-tweak.

Here is the link for the battery tweak...

[Hero CDMA Android Development] spearoid:
Well, that certainly could lead to a long discussion that would be fun but pointless for this thread.

Of course the main issue would be your phrase "very little." That subjective phrase would make the debate impossible to win or lose.

Yes, WinMo was a great PIM...and could do the majority of things you'd want.

Application development has all but stopped for WinMo which makes that "very little" phrase become more and more inaccurate over time.

Just to point out a few things that I don't consider little that spank the behind of WinMo.

Google Navigation (turn-by-turn) doesn't exist for WinMo and, IMO, beats the pants off of SprintNavigation.

I can click a mailing address in an email on Android and it knows to launch my Maps or Navigation program, but not in WinMo.

This is certainly interface, but the drop-down status bar with the ability to display live (changing) information is hands-down the most efficient way to make multi-tasking serve every purpose.

WinMo was great....but much like Windows XP...these operating systems are way too old to keep up with new operating systems that are being developed. Thus the reason Microsoft knew they couldn't keep patching 6.x...and needed to start fresh.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Flashed Oct 19th over Oct 12th release and had no issues. Using Vanilla both times. Pandora doesn't seem to lock up anymore *yet*, but the music app still crashes (FC) after it's done playing an album from start to finish. I'll back arrow all the way out to the desktop, then go do something else. A few minutes later I'll get the FC message.

No other issues to report. Battery life is great on stock battery.

Edit: D'oh, hard lock while playing music via Music app. Next time i'll start looking at log files (/proc/last_kmsg ?)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theremix:
Thanks a lot. Not sure if I still want to use collins. I am already getting through my entire day with only 1 charge over night. Does it make dramatic difference to the battery life?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whomafia:
Im running Red Glass 10/19 version...Ive tried the vanilla, black, and red roms...and i still have horrible battery life...(full charge---72 percent this morning in 1 hour 30 minutes standby) Ive recently installed the collins battery tweak...dont see any major difference in battery life..I used custom settings and OC at 691...other than that default settings...could someone who is getting fantastic battery life please instruct me on what settings to use??? Pretty please??
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thesubliminaljuggalo:
Right on, Thanks Dec. Dropped the AutoKiller to Optimal and have yet to see a problem.

Also, I'm 99% sure I flashed the 768 kernel and SetCPU seems to have no problem in OC'ing to 729, but it wouldn't be able to do that with the 691 kernel, right?

edit: Forgot to say that I uninstalled the battery tweak and reinstalled SetCPU.

Update: This morning it started lagging again and so I completely uninstalled AutoKiller and will try and work with Advanced Task Manager and see if I still encounter the lag.

Update 2: Bah, that was a terrible idea. lol. The lag was there the whole time. So, I went back to what I initially had with AutoKiller set to aggressive and I changed some LP+ settings. Still encountering issue, anything I should try next?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nozuul:
Can anyone else confirm this behavior.

I have been running Blackmod, and then RedGlass when it was available. Always wipe when i install.

I use handbrake to shrink dvds for my kids to help relieve the inexplicable boredom and restlessness that can come over them with no warning in certain situations. Works for about five minutes, so this usually isn't a problem.

But videos only play for about an hour and ten minutes, then the video freezes and the audio returns to the beginning. This occurs on CM no matter what video player I am using, but I mainly use mVideoPlayer.

I flashed a sprint rom for S&G to see if the same thing would happen, but all video files play fine. I asked for help in the ask me you CM questions thread, but the only respondent was not sure. I was hoping someone might have a full length movie they could load onto their SD card to see if they experience the same issue.

Thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stefan.on.pc:
Hi all, I've been using this ROM for quite some time now, and despite my efforts to keep my phone clean, tidy and running quick, I still find it incredibly laggy sometimes. I've got only one homescreen, very few apps installed, and lots of settings configured for performance. (Less animations ect.) I realize that the Hero hardware is limited, but seeing huge lag when I've sacrificed sooo much really bugs me.

So anyway I'm just wondering what everyone else does to keep their Heros running smooth. Is setCPU a good idea? Or is CM6 already OC'd enough? Does Froyo do a good enough job freeing up memory? Or should I manage it manually? I'm willing to wipe and reflash the ROM so that I can start fresh, and implement any performance enhancements you guys think will help.

Thanks everyone for suggestions!

Dial icon at bottom has disappeared

It has been replaced by one of my applications!

I deleted the app thinking it might restore the icon, but, no such luck.

I flashed the Oct 19 build Extreme Blue, but, no fix.

Is there any way for me to get my icon back at the bottom next to the launcher where it belongs? I have dialer one, but, I like to have both available to me.

I have a Nandroid, but, I have added several things since the last Nandroid and prefer to not have to take that step.

I have no idea what happened to cause this silly app to take the place of my dialing application. Nothing I did on purpose, I can say that for sure!

Thanks in advance!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stefan.on.pc:
Video playback problems, just black screen and audio.

Is anyone else experiencing video playback problems on their Hero with CM6? Any non-YouTube video, for example from the Engadget app, will play, but I just get black screen and the audio. No video.

Of course it prompts me to choose either camera playback, or 3D gallery playback, but they are identical and the problem occurs in both.

Is this a common problem? Anyone have fix?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ahager88:
There's an app in the market that works... sorry but the name escapes me. Streaming video can also be a problem, depending on format (you'd think streaming mp4 would be one click) but I do know spankwire works :eek:

Using the 10/12 Blackmod version. Sometimes, when receiving or typing texts in Handcent, my phone freezes and restarts. I'm thinking of flashing the 10/19 rom to see if it's more stable, but I just wanted to let you know and see if maybe anyone else had similar issues.

Google Navigation

I seem to have a problem with Google Navigation. My phone has automatically rebooted itself a handful of times over the past week, and the only common bond that I know of, is that Google Navigation had been loaded and used prior to each reboot. The reboot actually occurs at random times....during different uses of my phone....but, again, every time it has happened I have used GN.

Anyone else noticed random reboots?

This has happened through two different flashes from a wipe...the Oct 12th and Oct 19th builds.

It seems pretty clear to me that my issue is with Google Navigation, but I havent seen anyone else commenting on this, so it makes me wonder.

10-19 RedMod

I am using the 10/19 Red Mod; I am having trouble seeing my items in the notification bar. I found where to change the color of the time but when I change the date color, nothing changes.

Also, when I receive notification and pull the notification bar down I can't see what the notification are. I have adusted different color settings but either I am changing the wrong one's or they are not changing.

For the most part, the Mod has worked out well. However, I am using alot of battery like others have posted.

After you change the colors reboot and it should work fine

Battery Drain & Freezing

For those who are having Battery Drain, Lag, Freezing issues, here is something that MAY help. I have seen this on a friends phone recently, and found that akmd/compass was using significant CPU cycles. After looking around a bit, I came across some posts that recommended updating the akmd file to resolve the problems.

I did the update to a newer version, and we have not seen the problem reoccur yet. It hasn't been that long with the updated version, and he didn't have this very frequently, so I can't promise that this will make much of a difference. Just thought I would post the file for folks that are having this issue recurrently and see if it seems to help.

Steps to replace:

Boot to recovery mode, and download the attachment and unzip to your local directory.

As always, nandroid is your friend!

adb shell mount /system
adb shell mv /system/bin/akmd /system/bin/akmd.orig
adb push akmd /system/bin
adb shell chown root:shell /system/bin/akmd
adb shell chmod 755 /system/bin/akmd

Reboot. If you have problems, either restore your backup, or boot back into recovery and remove the new version and restore the old version:

adb shell mount /system
adb shell rm /system/bin/akmd
adb shell mv /system/bin/akmd.orig /system/bin/akmd

Let us know if this makes a difference.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dgatlin:
I found the latest radio on one of the members "The Impaler". It shows up as part of his signature.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
replaced without issue... no more insane battery usage.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 24601:
From your home screen, try Menu>Settings>CM settings>User interface>Notification colors. See if some of the settings in there will assist. I disabled "Custom notification bar," and enabled "Custom pulldown bar." This seemed to help.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fog918:
wheres voice mail?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hotaru:
akmd usually uses a substantial amount of cpu time on my phone (it's usually the first thing listed in top)... after replacing it with this file akmd is barely using any cpu time at all.

Possible Bug

I have a possible bug that I found yesterday. I went to a wedding and used Google Navigation to get there and GPS was on. Once I arrived I turned off the GPS (location Service) on the power bar to save battery.

To get home I turned on GPS and 10 minutes later it still hadn't acquired my location. I then used Quickboot to reboot and it immediately found my location. I think there is something wrong with powering off and on the GPS service without a reboot. Has anyone else seen this?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] lookthatguyisstoned:

PRL Update

How can I update my PRL without resetting my phone back to stock?

Thanks...:confused:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 1Crazee_J:
Unfortunately, there is no way to do that. You can use any of the current stock sense roms to accomplish this task. I used infintefx's deodexed stock sense rom to handle it. Don't forget to nandroid first. After you get done updating your prl, just nandroid back and you'll be golden.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hotaru:
wrong. you can use cdma workshop to update the prl on cm6 just fine.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Slimcorn82:
I flashed extremely blue after having market problems (Download unsuccessful) with plain CM6. I am still having problems. I assume cause this is still CM6 with the theme backed into rom. I have tried all the fixes (Clear cache/date fix permissions etc)

Anyone else still having market problems. Know of a fix yet? I'm delaying wiping and reinstalling until i absolutely have to, for this is my only issue with rom.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thesubliminaljuggalo:
I'm working on giving this a shot, but when I try to mount the /system directory, it kicks back an error saying that it can't read /etc/fstab: No such file or directory.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] extxn72:
This may just be my phone, but I had been running the Oct12 Vanilla for about a week and my battery life sucked. I hadn't flashed an update since the Sept16 version, but I was starting to get hard lockups every day and thought the update might fix it. Didn't know if it was the new version of GAPPS or something else I did weird, so I did a complete wipe and reflashed Oct12. Still had horrible battery life, like less than 7 hours with very light usage. I was also having major issues with it flipping back and forth between 1x and 3g, so inbetween flashes I updated the PRL. It still didn't help.

Over the weekend I did another complete wipe and flashed the Sept16 update again, and my batter is back to normal. I'm sitting at 57% over 7 hours in and that includes listening to an hour or so of podcasts on the way to work without it being plugged in.

Any ideas on issues? If I update to Oct19 am I going to have similar battery problems? Anyone else experience anything similar?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hotaru:

Phone unresponseive - requires battery pull

Have had this happen about 3 times today. No idea why.

Green notification LED is still blinking, but, the phone will not respond to any button presses and will not ring when called.

Any way for me to tell what is locking up? Some log file somewhere?

I'm running the Oct. 19 Extreme Blue with Gapps.

Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] RammsteinNicCage:
I just updated to Oct 19th vanilla and am having problems with my email (I think the trash bin one started before my update). I'm using the stock email app and am connecting to my hotmail account through exchange. Here are my probs:

- When I open up my email, it automatically goes into the folder list instead of the message list (inbox) even when I change the setting (the setting isn't saving).

- When I delete my trash bin from my phone, the emails come back into the trash bin and if any of the messages were deleted new messages, I'll keep getting new email notifications.

- Not all of my messages that I delete on my phone are being deleted from my regular browser inbox.

Is anyone else having these problems?

Update Posted - 25OCT

Updates posted after repo sync at 11AM Eastern on 25-October. These have only had the standard 30 seconds of exhaustive testing, so YMMV.

Includes recent bug fixes and updates, including Galaxy S Style Power Widget. Some additional updates to the RedGlass theme are included.

Kernel updated with 10/25 commits from Decad3nce's github (THANKS!). Also updated akmd/compass to try to help with battery drain, freezing, etc. This seems to be working for those who have tried, but not a lot of feedback so far, so the jury is still out. I have only received positive feedback from those who have tested to date.

I removed some of the panels from the touchwiz and now my home panel has changed. I.e pressing the home button takes me to the wrong panel.

Can idea how it can be changed back? I have a total of 5 panels now and the center panel should be the home.
[Captivate General] floppy__:
I have the same problem. I hope somebody has a fix for that
[Captivate General] KryptosXLayer2:
remove other panels on one side and add them on the opposite side, that's what I had to do once.... just make sure to do it as many screens over you are from your ideal homepage
[Captivate General] Terry S:
I posted this question on another forum and no one knows a way to specifically pick your home screen. But after some testing one poster did figure this out. If you have anywhere from 1-3 screens the "home key" screen will be the screen to the far right. If you have 4-7 screens it will be the 4th screen from the left. Odd I know but true. So the only way to have your "home key" Screen to be the middle screen is to have 7 screens which is what I now have.. 4 of which I am not even using. I am hoping this gets changed in an update so that you can actually select which screen you want to be your home screen.
[Captivate General] tikidroid:
You can easily move the panels around when you go to edit them. An option to quickly pick the home screen would be cool.

Here is what I do:

1. Menu , Edit.

2. Remove panels I do not want by pressing the red minus button.

3. Menu, Save

4. Press the home button. Make a mental note of which panel I was taken to.

5. Menu , Edit

6. Find the panel that I want to be my home screen, drag down then to the right of the panel that is the current home screen. *It will not always be to the right, position depends on the number of panels.

7. Menu, Save.

That's it.
