Awesome job. I never thought my hero could so great. I actually love my phone now instead of hating it. I thought I would miss Sense but I don't :)

two issues: I seem to been getting problem loading widget a lot when I unlock my phone any idea's?

2nd: when I hold 1 for voicemail I get something about virgin mobile and sprint and prepaid?? When i call my cell number it seems to work fine.

Bluetooth Dial - I have been waiting for this and it seems to work !!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] BreakerXtrodinaire:
I know the radio has its own software, the bootloader, the rom itself but what is the 'PRL' all about? Also, is there a link I can point cmupdater (from marketplace) to for automatical checks of updates to this hero specific build of cm?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] trindy:
I went into settings/call settings and changed my voicemail settings from *86 to my cell number. Now speed dial and notifications both take me to "you have no new messages" lol

(I was so proud of myself when I figured that out :D )
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mattynealo:
Thank you trindy that worked :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gnatz007:
Anyone have a link to a sprint HTC Rom that you can update the PRL? I have the RUU, but I dont want to have to re-root my phone if there is a rom I can just flash to.

Thanks!

Found the answer... I flashed to this rom, and was able to update the PRL and then nandroid back to 2.2 with my new PRL...

I'll try this also..I assume delete the Gallery3D.apk first?

Anyone else have their camera lock up? What I mean is my friend will be using her camera fine and then all the sudden she cant get out of the camera..You can still see out the camera viewer but there is no way to exit the camera..no options nothing..only thing she can do is pull the battery..

It doesn't happen all the time but often enough..I always wipe everything before flashing ROM.

thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ddriver3487:
is there a better way to see what is changed in each version that comes out for this rom? I look at the twitter link on pg1 and i dont understand most if any of it.

on a side note, battery is at 24% after 28 hrs. amazing.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mattynealo:
Ok I think I sold some of the Widget problem. I set my hero to default install to SD card seems some widget don't like them. moved them to the phone rebooted and widgets came back Thanks

For those with Battery Drain Issues

There was going to be a link here but I can't post links. Oh well!:(

Basically it said that the stock sms was preventing the phone from sleeping which in turn caused battery drain. Search battery drain and sms.

Check out this thread. I don't know if it applies on 2.2 but I use Handcent anyways because I like it better.

Also after my previous post where I raved about my Hero my battery too fell into a super drain mode, like 6-7 hours and it was dead. So i started checking what I had done. I noticed Taskiller was using 40% of the battery so I uninstall-ed that. Also my gmail accounts had sync for Calendar and Picasa web albums checked, so I unchecked them. I only sync the contacts and emails. Battery is doing good now. Not sure if that is what caused it. With moderate use I am at 62% after 5 hours.

Also I would caution against non OEM batteries. In my past experience some of the extended life batteries actually use a slightly lower voltage to increase the maH. I think this causes problems because the phone cant get the juice that it needs. I have never tried any other batteries for my Hero but on previous phones.

Everyone who uses Android should read this about memory management:

There was another link here but again I can't post links.:eek:

Search for memory management on Android

I have found this article to be true, i use Linpack and my scores rarely changed after killing all tasks.

-Good Luck

thank you very much for all of your efforts!!tried this over the weekend with no luck.mahalo again!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ItsDon:
No worries my friend, I hope you get it sorted out.

Today or tomorrow Zenulator will be releasing his new version of ZenEXP which should be stellar (I tested the beta). You should try and run that, it's a 2.1 rom and your SMS should work fine. Froyo is great but it ain't 'all that', you know.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whoopingchow:
Getting ready to flash the 8/22 update. Thanks!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whitey10tc:
For the life of me I can not get MMS working.

Here's my details:

US Cellular Hero flashed to cricket

Full everything except MMS, I have MMS on an old DC 2.1 v1.1 ROM, but can not get anything going here. I gave up on trying to figure out the ## codes none of them work running this ROM not a big deal. I got the carrier names changed everywhere, but can not get the 2.1 fixes to work on 2.2. I'm open to suggestions. This one has got me stumped. Even doing an APN backup edit and restore is a pointless subject at this point.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] neil1492:
I am using the 8-22 update and my phone is really slow. There is a good 2-3 second lag between screen a screen press and anything happening on the phone. Scrolling is really clunky too. On the plus side, my battery life is really good now, probably because my phone was taking forever to do anything.

I am going to just try the CyanogenMod-6 or go back to BUUFED. This ROM was just to slow for every day use for me.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ddriver3487:
Did you try using the battery fix and uncapped kernel found in the development section? I have been updating this rom since i started 2 weeks ago and everything is working fast and smooth. (vanilla build)

Only thing i can see that needs fixing is when rotating pictures in the gallery to landscape it gets messed up and I cant get the nfl app to work.

Edit: one more thing i just noticed is when in a phone call, the power button still ends call even though I have it deselected in the cyanogen mod settings.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] neil1492:
For some reason this rom just didn't work on my phone that well. I just went to the CyanogenMod-6 and it seems so much faster. Maybe that one already has the other kernel?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ptowsvc:
is there a way to get ther froyo dialer?? i drive for a living ,use a bt head set and a dash holder,and the setup of the 2.2 dialer is very good for my situation.Ive tried dialer 1,and all the others,but like that 1 the best. thanks for the tip on the zen exp. :) mahalo to all for all of your knowledge!you can learn a lot by reading these posts.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ipfreelytech:
I'm curious, because the poll up top shows the majority are running vanilla. What exactly does this have in vanilla form have that's different from the normal cm6 releases? I understand the blue version but I cannot understand the point of the vanilla.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
This latest one is actually the first one where the NFL live app has worked for me. The first time you load it it hangs a bit at the "loading" page and I had to kill it 2-3 times and try again but eventually it worked. Once it worked the first time it has worked every time since then, I'm not exactly sure what changes but getting it to work once magically fixes it for future uses.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sputnikk23:
nevermind....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whoopingchow:
Was running the 8/13 build, just flashed 8/22 on top without a wipe. Everything went off without a hitch, reflashed colin's battery tweak and blackmod. Things are running much faster and smoother (definitely didn't think possible). No problems with camera, texting, mms, gps, or internet so far. Thanks so much! We'll update with any problems.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bombs551:
i got the latest version on my phone, running with unrevoked recovery image, and for some reason my phone won't vibrate when i get a text or call... it vibrates when i unlock the screen, but won't vibrate for notifications or when i type on the keyboard. Anyone else have this problem or does anyone know a fix?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Dan330:
i finally got the froyo to work.. it is great...but..

I like sense :( so i will wait till someone gets Froyo with sense.

also.. I can not sync all the contacts from my PC to the HERO. I use the HTC Sync software. I could not get it to recognize the Hero with Froyo. So the contacts can be restored. My guess is that it needs Sense.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hotaru:
i use the blue but voted to keep both versions available...

here are a couple differences:

normal CM6 kernel is capped at 691MHz*, this isn't.

normal CM6 kernel doesn't have diag mode*, this does.

* it's possible these might have changed since the last time i tried one of the nightlies. i doubt that would have happened without me hearing about it, tho.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] piranah:
Did you do a nandroid and a wipe? This is the fastest rom I've ever used.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] piranah:
Yea vibrate doesnt work for me either. My gf is kinda upset about it......

I take it nobody else ever has this issue?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gorbisloth:
I tried the NFL app again this morning and it worked perfectly. Threw it on the SD card and just installed it from a file manager. Came right up when I clicked on it too. I'm running the 8/22 blue build.

MrDSL check out post #2 from jaybob about gallery fix.;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MrDSL:
Yeah I saw that but it doesn't help me with the camera app not closing and having to pull the battery though :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cactus165:
No, that camera lockup has happened to me as well, even with the gallery fix. The viewfinder works fine, but I can't take a picture, nor exit back to the menu or anything else... forcing me to remove the battery.

I don't know what exactly triggers it... and I haven't had it happen since I installed the latest (AUG22 vanilla) build (though this could well just be coincidence since I don't use the camera that much)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MrDSL:
This is exactly what happens to her phone also!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bombs551:
anyone know how to fix my vibrate issue?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gorbisloth:
Have you checked the settings to insure that Vibrate is actually turned on for your notifications? I seem to remember none of mine being set to vibrate, just audio notifications.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
anyone know if there is a quick way to add network settings as a shortcut on one of the home menus? I want to be able to jump to roaming and automatic since I only get verizon signals at work and it kills my battery when its on automatic. I can add shortcuts for every other choice on settings but can't seem to find the one for network settings
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alan7467:
There are some widgets in the market place that make changing your network settings easier. 2G-3G OnOff works well. At the moment I'm using SwitchPro (a paid app) which includes the option for a network button.

Perhaps this has already been covered. Has anyone been able to get usb storage mode working with this ROM? If so how? Perhaps I need to manually install a driver on my PC?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bombs551:
Yea, I have it set to vibrate always, and i've checked everywhere else that i could think of where vibrate would have settings, yet it still doesn't vibrate.

Yes. Vibrate is very much broken... as well as gallery.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] dean.d:
Only problem is the same as the others about the camera going thru the gallery. I did experience the PC not picking up the device but after a reboot it pick up fine with adb. Google sync worked fine along with Facebook. Don't use mms but email, phone, and SMS works great. No need for handsent(woo hoo). Dropped Gmail because the email that came with rom is just great. I'm running 8/22 Blu.

Interesting. Anyone know how to make a phone sleep. Mine says 9 hours since it slept.....no wonder my batt life blows

I am also having this same problem. Anybody know of any fixes for this?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ElAguila:
I checked my phone and it is sleeping properly. I have similar stats. It says the display used 38% of the battery but that was consumed by only being on for 5m 35s which seems strange to me. Not sure what to make of it.

I finally managed to get mine going. I had to turn of USB debugging and reboot my phone. Now it's showing up just fine as a mass storage device on WinXP and Win7.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jdesai2008:
Since going to this ROM, I am having very strange data problems. On 3g, my connection sticks anywhere from 5-20 minutes. Then it goes out. Disabling and enabling does not bring it back to life. It only works again after reboot. I've flashed twice. Wiped everything.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaybob413:
Basically, these builds are just a sync from the CyanogenMod github repo. A lot of the changes are internal fixes and updates that are not that visible, but sometimes there are ones that are more "feature" additions or updates, like the additions to the CMParts configuration items, and/or the Lockscreen Music Controls. I usually take a quick look at what has changed when I sync, so if I see something that really stands out, I may be able to add some comments, but I don't have the time to do a real changelog. If you are looking for more detail, you could go to the CyanogenMod github site, and look at the recent comments for the various packages.

Attached is a fairly quick and dirty hack of GenieWidget and Vending (Market). You can try these if you like. The background sizing appears to be a little off in GenieWidget. Not sure if I will have time to look at these in more detail anytime soon. As alway, no guarantees. YMMV. ;)

Is there anyway to get Visual Voice mail to work? Because i cant get them any other way.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ben.benson@srvs.org:
I don't know the answer to your question but I have an alternative. Google Voice is now taking on new accounts for the asking. It is superior to Sprint Visual Voice Mail. It works like sprint in that the voice mail is downloaded to your phone. But the nicest thing about Goice Voice is getting a text summary of the message. I almost never listen to voice mail any more because the text message of the message is enough.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aod420247:
i too am looking for a way to get this work. i tried installing the signed vvm package, but it just made my phone boot loop lol so i am now reflashing this again haha just because i thought i would "see what happens". if anyone makes any progress on the vvm, please let me know, its a very big thing to me! my speaker is blown in my headset, and when i call the vm it sounds horrible, but the sound files vvm downloads dont make the blaring sounds that the direct line to vm does.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pfer10:
I searched fancy widget in the market and couldn't find it with this ROM.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] r3s0lv3:
The closest thing i've seen is setting up forwarding to google Voice and using their visual voice mail. not the same as sprints though.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] outlaw2384:
Thanks this help..got my phone running with the rom, it says Sprint, but I can get into my Cellular South voicemail, make calls, and send and receive texts. Trying to install flash on my hero, is there a way to put flash 10.1 on here.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaybob413:
Can't help you with flash. I know other folks are working on it, but there are issues with the hardware on the hero, and no ETA for a fix.

OTOH, if you want to change the text from Sprint, you can try putting the text below into a file named "eri.xml" and copying the file to /data. Change where it says Sprint to whatever text you would prefer. Haven't tried this recently, but it did work in the past.

<EriFile VersionNumber="1357" NumberOfEriEntries="1" EriFileType="1">

<CallPromptId Id="0" CallPromptText="CallPromptId0"/>

<CallPromptId Id="1" CallPromptText="CallPromptId1"/>

<CallPromptId Id="2" CallPromptText="CallPromptId2"/>

<EriInfo RoamingIndicator="128" IconIndex="1" IconMode="0" EriText="Sprint" CallPromptId="0" AlertId="0"/>

</EriFile>
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aod420247:
i couldnt get it to work properly, but i also dont know the ins and outs of google vis voicemail. does sprint charge anything for using googles voicemail? i figure not since i am on the uml plan.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] redram38:
I searched and could not find the answer so be gentle. How do you get apps to the SD card with this Rom. Before I flashed this I wiped my ext partition but when the phone booted all my apps started installing. I use Titanium Backup so I can only assume since the apps are on my SD card backed up through Titanium the Rom found them and installed them? Also can you use the old A2SD and put the apps on the ext partition and move Dalvik as well? Any help would be appreciated and Thanks for the hard work the Rom looks great.
