It has to unmount /sdcard from the system, which can take some time depending on what is accessing files on the card. You also lose the ability to access and files on the card while your are in USB storage mode. If you need to copy or backup you can mount from recovery when nothing is using the files on the card, or you can use another tool that can access them without unmounting the card from the phone. It may just be my superstition, but I am always concerned about unmounting file systems in use, and inability for apps to access files they are looking for.

Both "Droid Explorer" and "Android Commander" have worked well for me to transfer files to/from my SD card (along with other functionality provided).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaybob413:
Vanilla has no blue theme mods. Pretty much like the nightlies, but with the same program/configuration changes in the EXTBLUE versions (i.e. - Camera, Gallery, Dialer, ...)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Stramondroid:
So, I run the nightlys, whats the advantage to running this, thats ohh, 5 days behind?

Thanks for the info...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ItsDon:
Jaybob's latest is taken from yesterdays build (9/16)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] simon.ponder:
Nightlies are assembled by a bot also, so they are not guaranteed to function properly.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mainguy21:
lol im guessing you cant theme this rom with the froyo themes in the theme section.

since i got bootlooped..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaybob413:
Advantage is a personal assessment, so some people find value and others don't. Basically, I started building this for my personal use (and my families), and offered it here with the thought that some other people might find it useful.

The reason I originally started down this path is that I don't particularly care for the Black/Grey/White colors of the stock CM6. I also found that you can have issues with themes that replace framework files that may introduce compatibilities. Along the way, some people asked if I could make a non-Blue version. As this is a simple matter of executing two commands (lunch and make), I started adding those as well.

The advantage for me personally has been that I have learned a lot about the structure of the software running on my phone, and I can pick a point in the chain of software updates and commits to the repositories where things seem fairly stable (as well as being able to revert to a previous point if I find something causes a problem).

In addition, I have a stable version of software where I can leverage updates in kernel development, and modify / configure things that are problematic. So, for example, in these builds, the Bluetooth Voice Dialer still works from a headset press; the Camera doesn't freeze due to integration with Gallery3D from the thumbnail; I can use the thumbnail to view and delete the pictures I take using the 2D Gallery app; in order to use the 2D Gallery app, I don't have to eliminate Gallery3D (which allows Picasa sync for some), and so on.

Hope that provides some background on the advantage to me, and that you find a build that provides an advantage to you, whether it is here or elsewhere.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaybob413:
You certainly can theme the Vanilla version, as many people have reported success in doing so. The issue is that some of the files that are replaced by various themes were built from different software versions. Usually themes that will work on the nightlies will work on the Vanilla version from the same time frame. Often the theme developer will provide a date of the build the files came from. If that is close to the same date as the ROM you are using, your chances are better that it will work, but there is always a chance of problems when applying themes to anything other than the ROM the original files came from.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pwachleman:
Good example of why this is better is that if you look at the IRC for the nightlies theyve (the nightlies) been screwed up for a week. Good reason to stick with something you know someone has tested before releasing. Thanks Jaybob for your 'extra' work on this rom.

Nandroid backup

I havent been able to perform a nandroid backup for weeks, and i have been searching for a solution and havent been successful. when i try to perform the backup it reads this:

Error: Run 'nandroid-mobile.sh' via adb!

help please!!! lol thx
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
This was the error I received when I did it low on battery. I know its a big coincidence, but it could just be that. If not, you could always reflash the recovery image. Especially if you had ClockworkMod or Amon RA 1.6.2, all it takes is a few seconds in ROM Manager.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Ezintn:
I've found three things that'll cause this: low battey, low available memory, and recovery. I've never had this error or any prob.s w/ nandroid using Darch's "Unofficial" RA 1.7, the best recovery I've used.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Ezintn:
Nightly 9/16 build failed. Vanilla 9/16 is re-worked Nightly 9/9, according to first post.

CDMA Workshop

Where do you get this program from?

Thanks,

David
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaybob413:
None of these releases are "based on" or "re-worked" from any nightly build. They are based on the same "source code" repositories used to build the nightlies. I synchronize from the CyanogenMod sources to my local machine and perform a complete build from source. So the most recent builds of 16SEP were built from the CM6 sources that were in place around 9PM, September 16th.

So while these releases are similar, due to being built from the same github source repositories, they are not re-worked or based on nightly builds.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Ezintn:
Thanks for the education, that explains a lot, including why your builds are consistently more stable and usually more responsive. The first post says 9/16 is built on 9/9 sync, so I gathered this was just your 9/9 build with the galleries/camera/bt reworked. If it's a whole new build from source, well that's even better, thanks for all your work (and the education)!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mainguy21:
actually thats the theme i tried..im still a noob.maybe i did it wrong.

i just flashed the zip in recovery and thats it right? it actually changed my phone but it would show me the lockscreen and then go back to the bootscreen and then over and over again.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Ezintn:
yeh, yer doin' it right, it works w/ 9/9 but loops w/ 9/16 and loops nightly 9/17 as well, sorry for the erroneous info (noob too), hopefully gomorrah will fix soon...

gamorrah says he won't fix anytime soon:(

so sme is no go for any cm6 rom from 9-15 on (so far)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaybob413:
Didn't notice that I had the sync date wrong for the current version. Fixed now. Thanks!

[edit] fixed the version number as well. thanks again.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Ezintn:
yeh, version # was the same too, but I figured it was 9/16 source when sme looped it.

edit: still says v17

Blackmod for cm6

Just as a note for anyone into these things the blackmod theme for cm6 works on the latest version 18 build of this vanilla version, it doesnt work at all on the nightlies for the 17th. Great work Jaybob!

Halp

Ok, so I have a CDMA Hero.

I rooted, and everything, made a nandroid.

I first wanted to try Modaco's ROM (thats the only one I knew of), but when I installed, none of my apps worked, and just showed a screen with HTC on it and error messages popping up.

SO I said screw it, and got Cyanogen. I flashed dalvik-cache, and ext partition, then flashed from ZIP.

Restarted, it goes to the boot screen (Cyanogen(mod) Circle with android) (Nice by the way) but thats all it goes to.

It runs that loading menu for a couple spins, then stops, screen goes black, and it loads it again.

Please help?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hotaru:
or just turn wifi off and then back on. that always fixes it immediately for me.

except for when my network shows up as "disabled" in the list of networks... i have to go into wifi settings and tell it to connect to the network when that happens. anyone have any ideas on why that happens?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] altpersona:
what CM6 Ex blue/vanilla did you download.

you cleared the dalvik, but not the other two caches? clear them as well. (i dont remember their names off hand)

it should take a long time to boot, might reboot a time or two on its own, ymmv.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
The wipe missed is just the basic data/cache wipe necessary when flashing new roms. Dalvik-cache should be flashed in conjunction with this, and ext if you use A2SD, but when changing roms you must wipe all three.

Oh, and if you're flashing CM then you should flash Google Apps right afterwards, otherwise you won't get certain apps like Market that I'm sure you'll be expecting.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DoughnutSpanker:
I got the vanilla.

I just did as you said and wiped all of the caches.

THANK YOU! It booted.

Hehe...

Well, thanks for your help.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DoughnutSpanker:
Wait... It booted, and I can call and everything. I flashed all the caches, but the Market isnt there. How do I flash GAPPS?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
At the bottom of the first post on this thread, below all the versions, there are the download links for both full and tiny gapps. Full just has a couple more cool applications, like Car Dock and Google Goggles, I'd say go for that one. They actually just released a newer version, however, located at:

http://mirror.kanged.net/gapps/

If you go that direction, choose the MDPI version from 0917 (again, either full or tiny). Just flash it in recovery the exact same way that you flashed the rom, and you'll be golden.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DoughnutSpanker:
Thank you so much!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Ezintn:
gamorrah updated SME theme, works great w/ v18Vanilla w/ "stock" kernel and Decad3nce #14 (1 initial loop when booting #14 is apparently normal). jaybob, this latest build is great! It may actually be faster and snappier w/o #14, but both are mighty quick. Thank you!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] extxn72:
Just wondering...is anyone else having problems with the number of screens in ADWLauncher? I just did a complete wipe and reinstall of the latest version because I was having some serious lockups, and now I don't see the number of screens choice in the ADWLauncher prefs. I can set which screen I want to be my default, but I can't change the number of screens I have. I'm stuck at 5, and I use all 7. Thanks in advance...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaybob413:
Changing the number of screens (as well as other layout features) is now done with a visual configuration screen reached by selecting "Edit" after pressing the menu key. You can move, add, delete, and select the default screen from here.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] extxn72:
And there it is...thanks so much! I though I was going crazy!

[Hero CDMA Android Development] Oxrod:
I love your blue theme. The ROM is working great. I am very pleased, and I'm experiencing more speed and reliability then most of the 2.1 ROM's I have loaded and used as my daily. The only issue I can see is that the camera is still mostly broken. I downloaded Vignette and that patches the problem up. Thank you for your hard work.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Davidsr1127:
Yeah... I have satellites and wireless networks on. It will pull up a location on maps but it's extremely inaccurate and has a huge range.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] churro7:
i have wifi but very very slow capping at 100kb/s while epics at 2mb/s
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pwachleman:
This has been mentioned several place so Im just relaying info but you can download an app from the market called gps status. Install it, then go into the settings, and then GPS & sensors, then Manage A-GPS state. At that point you will want to hit the Reset button, then the download button. Go back out to the main screen at that point and see if you dont get gps lock and then try your other programs. I get within 50ft after using that.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Davidsr1127:
Yeah that's mot working neither... Thanks though for the tip. Maybe I'll try it again later because it seemed like it didn't download anything

Widgets keep disappearing on me, anyone else having this issue or know of a fix.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Do you use the froyo apps to sd? If you put the apps with widgets on there, they won't stick.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chaotic84:
Is there something else I can use to fix it?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DoughnutSpanker:
Boy, do I have a tale for you.

So, I was happily running Cyanogen 6 (vanilla), and it worked fantastically. Except for the voicemail, which was saying I needed to go to Sprint to set it up (I am on Sprint, weird). But it balanced out, cause I use Google Voice.

Anyway, thats not my problem.

I downloaded a app (I believe it was Lulz Soundboard). I was using it, and when I got to the last sound, I clicked it. The app then CTD'd, without error message. I believe it was malicious. From then on, my sound stopped working.

As you can guess, I promptly freaked out. I wiped all caches, and restored off my Nandroid, and sound still doesn't work.

Please, I beg of you. Anyone know what to do?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hotaru:
just keep the apps with widgets that you use in phone storage.

I have updated to the 16 Sep verison now I can't get MMS text what did I do wrong if anything?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] blaccdayz:
No issues here, I just flashed over the previous update w/o issues. Did you do a complete wipe then install?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] twcrosno:
Bluetooth

Thanks jaybob!!

I have a blueant Q1 and Q2 and now I can use them the way they should be used. When I push the button I always was asked "say a command" but when I say "phone command" a mic would appear on the screen and I would say the name of the person I wanted to call, but I would get a voice telling me this command is not supported on this phone, but then it would put a dialog box on the screen with the person's name I said with an option to push ok or cancel. Now when I say "phone command" I hear a voice saying "speak now" and I say who I want to call and it calls them. Wow, been waiting for this for a long time. I was very upset when I went to an android phone and the bluetooth was not working correctly, then to hear Sprint wasn't pushing the 2.2 to the Hero that had a better functioning bluetooth. Plus, I love the extremely blue ROM over all others. Again, thanks!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mattynealo:
I am only running into one problem. When it makes a mistake there is no way to cancel it before it dials. back on WinMo I it would repeat the person it thought I said and I would have to say yes... Albeit it Android is much more accurate.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] twcrosno:
That is true!! I did have that happen a couple times the other day. I haven't checked to see if there is a sensitivity meter. I guess I will have to look.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] trindy:
I did a complete wipe and install but I cant get MMS to work either (send or receive both sit and spin)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] twcrosno:
I have not found anything to set the sensitivity for voice dialing. That might have been an option for sense. I would think it might come in a later build or possibly there is an app for bluetooth dialing that has a sensitivity setting. I am just ecstatic that it is functioning this good now. Again, thanks jaybob!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DoughnutSpanker:
Bump? I my phone won't ring anymore, so it's urgent! Any ideas?

[Hero CDMA Android Development] daryelv:
Did you read the first post regarding gapps? Apparently so...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
You must flash the gapps zip from recovery to gain access to Google apps like the market.

Sent from my HTC Hero running froyo: take that, Sprint!

apps on sd card

has anyone encountered this...whenever i move all apps to SD card, the phone is extremely laggy. but when apps were on phone it wasnt laggy at all. anyone dealt with this?

any tips?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Vandelay007:
I had a similar problem and I ended up doing fire rats custom partition and it frees up tons of space by partitioning it more appropriately. I have over 100 megs of apps on internal storage and still over 200 free

i see, where do i find that fire rats custom partition?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Vandelay007:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=754805

Be sure to follow the instructions exactly

When you set up your notepad file set it to:

Mtd 115 3 if using a froyo rom or 180 5 if sense

When you get to the part where it says to flash your rom you could also flash a nandroid instead

Nandroid before...Just to be safe...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] AmbientNoise:
this fire rat partition sounds awesome..I would also like to know where i can find it?

Does anyone know why I have to reflash Sprint VVM EVERY time i flash a newer version of this rom? its not a super big deal, but it is kind of annoying
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
The new rom version replaces some system apps, and gets rid of the sprintcore.apk. That's basically the reason :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] AmbientNoise:
So is the text file supposed to say "mtd 115 3", or "mtd 102 2" as the one on the firerat thread says?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] AmbientNoise:
just flashed over the 9/16 build, 3d Gallery STILL screws up when you rotate the phone..went into the camera and it wouldnt let me do anything..had to pull battery.

is this rom ever going to have a stable camera/gallery? Does anyone know where or if it is possible to find the apk for the htc sense app "Albums"?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
No HTC sense apps will work with this as it's an AOSP rom, not a sense one.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Vandelay007:
I recommend starting with mtd 115 3

Then, when you are done, from terminal emulator you can type

su

df -h

It will show you what your system partition is using - and, say your system is using 102MB you could change your notepad file to mtd 105 3

Keep in mind that anytime you change the notepad file you need to do the process all over, but if you are just flashing a nandroid, rom or kernel you just need to flash the boot file before rebooting your phone

Let me know if you need more help but I'm sure all your questions would be answered in that thread
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Vandelay007:
It IS awesome!

BlackMod Theme Overlay Test ROM

ALL CREDIT FOR THIS THEME GOES TO GOMORRAH

Gomorrah has graciously allowed me to incorporate his BlackMod theme into an overlay to integrate into the ROM at build time (like the Extremely Blue theme). This will allow posting BlackMod themed ROMS along with the Blue and Vanilla versions with the theme built. This eliminates any mismatches between frameworks, apps, etc.

I have done the initial conversion of the framework portion into the overlay, and will continue with the application integration over the next several days.

Looking for a couple of experienced BlackMod users to give this a test and feedback any errors or issues that they come across. After feedback and the completion of the app integration, I will post a full BlackMod overlay ROM.

Please keep in mind that this is the first test version. Any mistakes or errors can be credited to me. Appreciation and thanks for the creation of the theme to Gomorrah.

Again, only the basic theme has been integrated so far, app integration to follow.

REMOVED LINK - See OP for links to update.

Current ROM source as of evening of 21SEP
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ItsDon:
Maybe I'm out of line or just misunderstood the original post but I think he was asking about the rom not BlackMod, no? It seems (at least from your description) that the rom is still from Sep. 16. I could be completely wrong though :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaybob413:
Probably a symptom of replying at 3:30AM. :o The ROM source was as of yesterday evening. The Theme source was taken from Blackmod Final for CM 6.0.0 Stable. It seems to be working, so I will be releasing updated versions (repo sync this morning) of all three shortly.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pwachleman:
The new blackmod version is incredible, I've been playing with it since you first put it out and I'm very impressed. Thanks alot for the teamwork on this, jaybob and gomorrah, and I hope you will keep that as an option on any future updates. It makes my life alot easier not having to flash the rom and then flash blackmod.
