formatting the new 16GB class 6 sd card...

I was using apps2sd on 2.1 Roms.

had the card partitioned in 3 parts

swap = 360mb

ext 2 = 512mb

ext # = the remainder of the storage.

now with Froyo and its builtin app2sd.. how do we need to do the partitions? My guess is there is none? it is just one big SD storage like normal.. right??

so then....

swap = 0

ext 2 = 0

ext # = all of it (right?)

please let me know .. before I pull the trigger and repartition and reformat my sd card
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TP2DH1:
My SD is not portioned and have a majority of apps on the sd card. From what I can tell apps that utilize wigits do not like being on the sd. Not sure where on the sd card the apps go..it works and saves 50% of space since usually 50% of the app goes on the sd. With 2.1 I had about 40mb free, now with 2.2 and many more apps installed I have 107mb, true free space should be about 115-120mb after a cache clean.

Not sure about the Sprint Core apps (TV,Nav etc) since I dont use them. SMS works, have not tried MMS. Gmail works.

Battery is at 91% after being off charge for 30 minutes, not great..Forcing the phone into roaming only takes a little more but far less than leaving it on automatic or home networks since the phone does not recognize my Sprint network.

Ok noob question here but where can I find the clock/weather widget it looks like the sense clock and I've been looking for this widget but no luck digging 2.2 froyo way faster than 2.1 the widget is the only thing I miss from the Sense UI thanks for the help
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Dan330:
the only thing that i can find that will come close is buying the app in the market... beautiful widgets
[Hero CDMA Android Development] izoro:
Look up fancy widget apk and use a file manager to install I just found it today in the cyanogen mod site I works just the same

I've experienced the same issue. I use quick settings to easily check where my battery is at but honestly sometimes the battery won't drop any faster than what I would expect it to normally. Other days it's dead 8 hours after pulling it off the charger with little use. And sometimes when I use apps, the battery doesn't drop at all. Then I'll shut off the screen and check it 5 minutes later and it has dropped 10%! Yet the thing that is using the most battery is the display! How much sense does that make? WTF

Any insight into this?

the collin battery tweak has helped alot, and i would recommend it to anybody who is having any kind of battery issues.

Sorry my bad, when i read stock i was thinking with stock droid s/w

Beautiful widgets, costs like $2-3usd but is totally worth it!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Dan330:
i had found them on XDA last night.. but cant find the post now.

just copy these files to your SD card.

use a file manager app like "estrong", to find the file on SD...

and install from your SD card.

worked for me the first time. no issues.

Updates Posted - 29AUG

There was a problem with MMS for some people in the last version due to an issue with the apns-conf.xml file. This should be fixed in this update. This is built from the latest CM6 source (post-release).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whitey10tc:
I will give it a try. and report back this afternoon.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaybob413:
This change is for Sprint subscribers. I don't think this will fix issues for Cricket if it never worked for you before. Not much advice I can offer on Cricket. You may want to check out the Cricket / MetroPCS Web/MMS Flash 8/9 link.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whitey10tc:
I will give it a try on the latest build, it didn't work on the last one or any of the previous builds. It does on the other hand work flawlessly on a 2.1 builds. I'm thinking I might just need to start developing a 2.2 ROM from scratch for the cricket community. Because what I understand it could be because the 2.2 build is based for Sprint and Sprint MMS is different than most carriers. "Picture Mail and the Vision service"
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
Mainly because of legal ramifications. When something provides the same purpose but looks a little different (e.g., Beautiful Widgets), then it is acceptable competition. When it provides the same purpose and looks exactly the same (e.g., Fancy Widget), it is copyright infringement.

just flashed over the Aug 26 build and mms still not working...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaybob413:
Try deleting /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/*.db and then rebooting.

This will get rid of the old database records and recreate them.

A data/factory wipe should also do the trick.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vpxkid:
Deleting those database files worked like a charm. Keep up the good work! :D

[Hero CDMA Android Development] cactus165:
n00b question: You suggest that GAPPS be flashed after installing a new ROM; is this strictly for new installers, or for those (such as myself) flashing new versions of your ROM atop old ones?

In other words, should I re-flash GAPPS after every single ROM update?

Just asking since I've been skipping that step and haven't seen any harm come of it... (I think.)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
There's generally no need to flash a new gapps after every upgrade. The only time to do this would be if the gapps got updated or there was a new app added to it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cactus165:
Ahh - thought so, thought I'd make sure anyway.

Major kudos to jaybob413, Cyanogen, and everybody else involved in making this ROM. Been on board with the Vanilla version since 21AUG. I can now once again use my Hero without having to resist a constant temptation to use it as a projectile... and EVO can wait.

For someone more "power user" than h4x0r, the whole process was a frickin' cinch, to boot.

How is everybody's battery life on the 8/29 rom?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sotvonline:
Better than 8/28...Camera issues other than that, holding its own.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mario182005:
anyone having "home button" issues?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TP2DH1:
Flashed the 8/29 over the 8/26, added and configured collins batt tweak.

After initial reboot let everything load Weatherbug Elite did a fc. Reboot and another fc on weatherbug. Phone is smooth as the 8/26.

Home button brings up "Complete Action Using either ADW or Android Mate" instead of going to the default screen.

Sprint Airave not recognized. I leave the phone in roam only. Airave does work during a phone call with full signal. When in standby the phone stays on cell towers with 0-1 bar. Roaming keeps it at almost full (most of the time) but switches between carriers/towers & wifi is on..this all could be effecting battery life.

Unplugged for 20 minutes and down to 97%. Findout tomorrow how battery is when I am in a Sprint coverage area.

Meet with a friend Tuesday who is an Android dev and he usually flips through all my settings and says try this which usually fixes whatever bugs I find or what I mess up myself :)

These roms are very pleasing!!! Great job dev's!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Dan330:
i am currently running the blue aug 22 version with gapps.

I am having issues with my home wifi. it was working perfectly with DC 2.1 ROM.

is there a fix for this???

also.. i am running apps to sd.. and all is fine.

but I would like to know if there is an internal free-memory setting to help free more running RAM? It shows between 12 and 34 MB free. when it is low..below 17mb.. it is crazy slow and laggy!... I have to walk away for a few minutes for it to get back to normal because it is seriously not usable.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gidkid:
I guess you could try a task killer like estrongs task manager to kill things when your memory gets low. The widget is helpful in these situations.

I was running the 8/22 from the day it was available, since then when I plug my phone into the wall OR CPU, within 5 minutes my phone goes into a boot loop; until i unplug it. What do I do? Any suggestions please?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
Try Autokiller. It modifies your internal free-memory settings of when to kill off apps. Its much more effective than a task killer, plus it closes the programs much more naturally. I've been running mine at the "Aggressive" settings, and I consistently have between 75-80 mb free.

i am loosing my icons...

hi...

another issues.. I am loosing my icons. they are being replaced with androids generic icon (box with a green android on it).

when I have to reboot or shut down my Hero CDMA. it looses all icons of the apps that I have moved to the SD card. only way i know how to get them back right.. is to..

delete the icon and put them back on the home screens..in the folders.

One time.. the icons did fix themselves.. but I have no idea how or why! been trying to figure it out.

Is there a fix or better way (simpler) to get them back correctly after reboot?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaybob413:
Have you tried restarting ADWLauncher from it's Settings menu? This would ensure it starts up after the SD card is available. Just a thought.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] FireDog31262:
Patients....if your icons don't come up right away you may need to wait a few minutes until the phone gets done booting. Then again I started using launcher pro, it takes a couple of minutes but the icons always come back.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Dan330:
I am using Launcher pro too...

it took over 3 hours for the icons to show correctly!!!

but it did! :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Correct. It just edits the keyboard color.

Running the 8/29 Blue with Collins batt fix. 11 hours and at 25%. Few calls, emails and texts. Beautiful Wigits accessed the gps for almost an hour today, so probably not a good test.

After a fresh install adding apps to the screens was super quick. After adding a few apps the time to select an app after hitting the application button under select shortcut keeps getting longer..now about 30 seconds to select an app. Have about 90mb free internal.

Gmail issues with Aug/29 Extremely Blue

I didn't see anyone else post this. I flashed the Aug29 update over Aug26 and now Gmail isn't updating or pushing new emails. Would flashing GAPPS again solve my issue or should I just go back to the Aug26 version? Other than that I've had very good battery life and the ROM is super fast.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] robertsm85:
I've got the same problem. I looked around and it seems even people that have not modded their phone are having. I factory reset my phone and reinstalled cyanogen and the google apps and am not unable to connect my phone to google although I can still make and recieve calls, go online, and connect to Facebook. I believe this may be an issue with the Google servers.

On a side note when I factory reset my phone and it booted right back to cyanogen instead of the nornal HTC Hero sense interface. Is this supposed to happen? I thought a factory reset puts things back like when you just bought it.

Edit: I rolled my phone back to it's latest nandroid backup and reapplied the Aug29th update and everything seems to work ok now.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] djkoolk:
I can connect to Gmail thru EMAIL and also youtube and the browser...

SD Card Setup

I am new to CM and Froyo (with another ROM right now). Am I correct or incorrect in saying that you do NOT need to partition the SD with this ROM b/c it uses the Google/Froyo version of apps2sd???
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
If you use the Native A2SD, no, you do not need to partition the SD card. If you choose to use a 3rd party AS2D (DarkTremor, for example), then you would need to.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] RammsteinNicCage:
If you use the native one, is there anyway to keep certain apps on the phone, particularly ones with widgets?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
Of course ... set the mode to "Automatic" in CM Settings (rather than External or Internal), and hand-pick which apps you want to keep in phone memory and which to move to SD. It's a pain at first, but once you set them all up, you just do the extra step of choosing where to store each new app as they are installed.

Personally, I recommend keeping all widgets and apps that work directly with the system on the phone. This includes Google Voice, Wireless Tether, etc. This should minimize conflicts.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Dan330:
damn!!! i wish i knew that!!!

I would have used the 3rd party ... the builtin version is not as good... in my opinion!

i have tried autokiller and minfreemanager to help the internal memory manager give me more free memory. but my phone goes down as I use it.. and when it goes under 19mb.. it goes so slow. I have seen it go below 10mb. it becomes useless.

My Hero has blue Froyo aug 22. I am also running Compcache and JIT.

what must I do? to get the internal memory to stay above 30mb?

Camera / Gallery (2D) Update to Avoid Battery Pull

Gallery3D locking up from Camera integration was getting to be an issue, so I modified the Camera App to call the 2D Gallery app, and it appears (after 30 seconds of exhaustive testing) to eliminate the lockups that required a battery pull.

I am looking for a few people to test and verify that this works for them. The basic approach is to replace the existing Camera.apk and Gallery3D.apk in /system/app with the files below (Blue or Vanilla NOT both).

Basic steps:

adb remount

adb shell rm /system/app/Camera.apk

adb shell rm /system/app/Gallery3D.apk

adb push Blue-Camera.apk /system/app

adb push Blue-Gallery.apk /system/app

adb reboot
​

If you are using Vanilla substitute Vanilla-Camera.apk and Vanilla-Gallery.apk

I am only looking for a few responses. Please don't flood the thread with lots of "works for me too" or "epic fail" posts.

Hello,

Thought I would try out the blue build, nice rom but I have experienced some strange issues. I beleive a lot of the FC's as well as certain programs not working is because of the included launcher. I installed LauncherPro and it became more responsive and programs started working that would not. Someone more experienced than myself should play around with this a bit to see if removing the included launcher all together creates a happier rom.

Yes. Boot into recovery, do a nandroid backup and then wipe and flash. After you've flashed the ROM don't forget to flash the GAPPS zip file located in the first post. If you don't you won't have the market and won't be able to sync your contacts via google.
