To be safe, you should probably just download a Vanilla and Blackmod for each release. It'll minimize the number of problems you have and ensure that the newest stuff from each build works as intended.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] c00ller:
Thanks for the advice, that's also what I had in mind..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaybob413:
Yes, unfortunately Settings changes quite often, so there is a chance that you may run into problems using files from previous builds.

I could also post the Vanilla and BlackMod Settings.apk files when I post the update notice or in the OP update. This would save people bandwidth, and its not much more effort as I already have the individual files from the build ready to hand when I post.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ahecht:
Posting them would be great.

Does anyone have any idea's the help. battery use shows display using 41% of my battery. I have used it very little with no phone calls since taking it of the charger 2hours 20 minutes ago. I am already at 86 % battery.

Cell standby is 16% and phone idle is 14% which seems normal.

Running DEC8th Ext Blue. I will do a full wipe if I need to but trying to avoid it.

Other notes: Converted my wife to Purple glass and she can get 2 days out of her battery and she is just under 50 %.

Thanks for any advice. Should I be running any task killers or memory managers?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] JeffW8:
There a large number of reasons why your battery drains quickly, so there is typically a laundry list of questions to help someone identify why their battery is draining quickly. There have been OS-level issues before, but judging by the release you are using, I'd say that isn't it. First thing to try to do is locate and uninstall offending apps. You mentioned two of the things using your battery, but not the others. Also, what apps show up under Running Applications? Personally, to get more battery life, I uninstalled the weather widgets and other apps that constantly poll the network. Because I've slimmed these things down so much, I get wonderful battery life. The biggest user of battery for me is always the display. Essentially, ask less of your phone.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] mattynealo:
JeffW8 thanks for the reply.

Here is what battery use shows:

Display 45%

cell Standby 14%

Phone idle: 13%

Android System 8%

xda 5%

gmail 5%

Android OS 3%

Youlu Address Book 2%

Wireless Tether 2%

android.process.acore 2%

bluetooth 2%

I guess may main question is. is it common for display to be using 45% of the battery?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaybob413:
Not always a good indicator, as it depends partly on how long the display is turned on.

Other things that may help are to disable Automatic brightness, and set the level as low as possible (my default is just at the right edge of the Automatic brightness checkbox. Set End button behavior to "Go to sleep" in Spare Parts, and turn the display off instead of letting it time out. Also the standard turn off WiFi/Bluetooth when you are not using them, etc.

You may also want to compare setting screen by screen with your wife's phone, as she is getting excellent battery life. It may be that there are some other settings that are contributing to your battery situation. She is likely to have all of the default settings, other than what has changed since you flashed.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mattynealo:
Good Idea Jaybob. I didn't have the end button set. and Changed the display down more. I had auto brightness disabled.

I will check settings when I get home and see.

Thanks for all the advice.

notification panel

jaybob, I don't know if you take requests, but this won't work on the red themed rom of yours, which I love. It has been submitted to CM officially but I was hoping you could integrate this into your builds so I can use it in red. Thanks for all your work, and if you don't do it that's up to you, I don't want to seem needy :)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=865393
[Hero CDMA Android Development] AjaxBU:
I'm not an expert, but maybe you got a bad zip. Try redownloading it, wipe it all, then try flashing again. Also, remember this is a rom and not a theme so don't flash this over anything other than previous versions.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] c00ller:
Just wondering, how did you officially submit the suggestion to CM?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
I didn't, post 25 in the linked thread shows it was submitted... I know you've been trying to figure that out, wish I could help. I thought your idea was good, I too listen to music only when using the headphone jack. You COULD send a PM to cyanogen, here's the link to his profile http://xdaforums.com/member.php?u=1466193

[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
I tried the gb board, it's nice but I still prefer swype. As for gapps I meant the whole pkg (new gmail,market,voice search,facebook) not just the market. DL'd the 14th build yesterday and so far so good, thanks for all your hard work.

Minor Bug?

Jaybob,

I just noticed today when I get a Google talk message while my phone is plugged in USB to charge my phone blinked green to tell me there was a notification. I cleared the notifications and the light wouldn't stop blinking until I unplugged the usb and plugged it back in. I was able to recreate several times

[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
that's a pretty good reason to edit, lol :)

On another note:

Hey Jaybob! I'm really liking the new layout of dec14 red. I have a tech question. Built into the rom is the ability to have the menu button wake the screen (obviously to use while in a call for speaker change or the keypad for touchtones) and I kinda disliked it so I remapped the key the do nothing, later realizing I need it to do the phone interaction with the screen off, so I remapped it again to the way your rom has it (longwinded)... So is there a way to have the key perform the screen wake/interaction but ONLY while in a call, so that otherwise the only button to wake the screen when NOT in call would be the end button? Or could the endcall button serve dual-function, like to wake the screen while in call on the 1st press, and then end the call on the 2nd press?

One more for you: I have already updated most gapps, except the new market, and re-integrated them into the rom with titanium, but I can't remember, did you say you were going to make a new gapps when you officially release the newest version of your roms? That would rock.

Thanks again for a kickass rom!

Updates Posted - 17DEC

Synced with CyanogenMod github on December 17th to CM 6.2.0 RC1 source.

This should work with no wipe over previous versions. Flash GAPPS after the ROM if you use them. The Vanilla build is very close to the Nightly build for the corresponding date. Only a few differences between the two. Extremely Blue has all the themed interface for Android and native Android apps. BlackMod has Gomorrah's framework mods integrated, and RedGlass and PurpleGlass continues the porting from Cuttalott's theme.

This release includes a number of improvements and bug fixes since 07 December. It includes both the 2D Gallery and Gallery3D. The 2D Gallery has cherry-picked an update that adds review intents, so either Gallery or Gallery 3D can be selected to open from the Camera thumbnail.

Kernel now based on 30-November commits from Decad3nce's kernel github. Check his htc-kernel-heroc github for more details.

ROM also includes updated akmd/compass to reduce excessive CPU consumption resulting in battery drain, freezing, etc.

Colored icons added to settings menu for Black, Red, and Purple. If you want colored settings in Vanilla, replace Settings.apk with the one from Black. Conversely, if you want black/gray icons in Black, replace Settings.apk with the one from Vanilla.

Included are links to COLORED and NOCOLOR Settings.apk for those who prefer the opposite of the default for the ROM. Just download the preferred file, rename to Settings.apk and replace the existing file in /system/app.

Other changes include Rotary Lockscreen; Gingerbread Keyboard; modified Notifications layout; and Decad3nce's 06tweaks file kanged from his mau5 thread (Thanks Deca!!).

Check CMSRC Twitter or CyanogenMod Code Review for CM6 Changes since previous version.

The notification layout mod puts a small "clear" button on the bar with the "Notifications" label. I preferred this location to putting it into the Power Widget, even though it get shifted down when you have "Ongoing" notifications. I shifted the plmn label over so that it does not end up on top of the clear button. I may play around with this some more as time permits.

[EDIT]

Just noticed that RomManager has changed again since I updated it yesterday. :( Sorry about that. I was up to date when I started working on this update, and didn't notice the change. I was probably distracted by working on automating the integration of the layout changes and GB keyboard into the overlays.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaybob413:
I don't have an answer to the first question. I seem to recall that the way you describe it is how it works in the stock ROM, but it has been so long, that I am not really sure. I agree that might be a good approach, but not sure how much effort is involved. Maybe something to check into over the holidays.

Second question, I updated the OP to an updated gapps that has been posted in a few threads dated 13DEC. I have been running it for a few days, and everything seems to be ok.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jiber:
Really really excited to try the Dec 17th build! :)

Will edit and let everyone know how it is :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hotaru:
does this one have the english dictionary for every language problem?

if so, look at how i did the dictionaries in the gingerbread keyboard i posted to fix it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaybob413:
Yes, I just replaced the standard kb with the originally posted gb version. Didn't see your thread before I completed the builds, but will adopt this for the next build. Nice work.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] c00ller:
I think there is a typo in the OP.

(UPDATE) 13NOV Full Version - gapps-mdpi-20101213-signed.zip

Just to remove any confusion, I guess the file should be 20101113-signed? Or is it actually 13DEC Full version?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaybob413:
Thanks for the catch. It is actually 13DEC. I updated the OP.

is it possible for anyone to give the visual files that are used in the white taskbar/icons? i like the style of the '3G' and the 'bars'. also, if i were to acquire these files could i edit them into the appropriate section of the com.htc.resources.apk file and push it back, like i did with the 3G icon and the vanilla 'bars' icon? thank you thank you

i know i can use the sprint vvm apk but what about the htc dialer, any version i can use at all?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] brokentoaster24:
the simple answer is no. but you can download an app from the market called "dialer one". it's similar to the htc style dialer
[Hero CDMA Android Development] markus_del_marko:
this is why i hope we get a port of froyo with sense so i can use the htc goodies.

I am loving this new update. The boot screen is awesome to. Good work who ever put it together. I nand just in case I needed but nothing seems to be going wrong so far. Facebook contacts sync but they did that in july25 build once facebook put out that new update. Good work everyone. Looking forward to great builds.

Can I flash the Vanilla build over CM6.1 stable while just wiping cache and dalvik-cache? Interested in switching over to this, since deca and a few other devs have stated this being maintained better than official, plus, well, 6.2 has me a bit interested as well, being a higher number and all. :p
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaybob413:

6.2.0 RC1 just means that is is built from source that is post 6.1.0 Stable (07DEC).

Hey JayBob. Great rom...but is there any reason LED notifications were taken out? I can't even see when I get a text any more \:

Are you using handcent? If so, check handcent settings for led color and change to green.

Yeah I'm using handcent. It's on green. And yes, I checked when the screen was off (That's when CM puts on the LED by default)

[Hero CDMA Android Development] phatboy5015:
I've had nothing but problems with the December 17th update. When I try to unlock the phone, about 9 times out of 10 it will vibrate like it should, then lock up when I swipe it over. And I usually have to pull the battery. But if I wait about 5 minutes, it will eventually unlock, but then Launcher Pro will FC and everything else lags like crazy. Also, Google Search FC's. But all this stuff happens only sometimes after the screen has been off for a while. But sometimes it will work perfectly fine. So I restored my backup for now. Any ideas?

Edit: Also, I already tried wiping everything and flashing, then restoring just the data from backup, same results.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dgatlin:
First, let me say I love the dec17 rom...however I have a few questions...

1. I deleted my google search widget by accident and when I went to add it back it does not give me an option for it.

2. On the google search widget it does not give me the microphone to say a command.

Also, it did not come with gmail...I had to download it from the market...is that normal?

Thanks...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] KBizzle:
Ok, I am assuming the vanilla version is the only one with rotary lockscreen, is that correct?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] phatboy5015:
Nope, the BlackMod has it too.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
This is prob because the gapps is tiny gapps, not full, try flashing the rom and the 1020 gapps, of course wipe first, then reboot, it should work.

same answer as above, try the old gapps, or download the specific ones you want.

nope, the red one has is, and usually JB makes all the roms uniform per each realease.

REQUEST: jaybob, could you actually make a full gapps like the 1020 for the next release, it would solve a lot of headaches for many users. Personally it broke my search button, still trying to get it to work, my other gapps are fine after a download and moving them to system/app, just search is a no-go.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaybob413:
Looks like I have led people astray with the 1213 gapps. This is indeed only tiny-gapps as il Duce has correctly noted. For the short term correction, just flash the 10/20 gapps and THEN the 12/13 gapps. This should give you a complete set until I get around to making an update. Apologies for the screw up.

I would try downloading again, and then wipe cache/data/system and flash again. If you still have problems, capture the output from logcat and post it to pastebin.

No. They should all have the rotary lockscreen. You do have to configure it for it though. Go to menu > Settings > CyanogenMod settings > Input settings > Lockscreen style.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
An observation, I actually did exactly that flash procedure when I first flashed 1217 red knowing the 1213 was tiny gapps, but even though I flashed gapps prior to tiny gapps, none of the missing gapps were there upon boot (gmail,youtube,search,voice search,facebook,more...) and the search functionality both short and long press remains broken (yes I dl'd them, pushed to system/app, restarted), I will post if I find a fix for it, just thought you should know. Again, thank you for the rom, and all your hard work!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jovera:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] Psycoboy15:
Any possible way to start getting roms with the 691 kernel also so those who can't boot with the 768 version?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaybob413:
OK, I updated the full gapps, uploaded to MediaFire, and changed the OP to the new link, which is included here for convenience.

gapps-mdpi-20101218-signed.zip

Everything appears to work for me, including the search key short and long. Try it out and let me know if there are still problems. Again, my apologies for the inconvenience.

To really do this cleanly, if you have downloaded some of the missing apps from the market, you will need to delete the downloaded apps from /data/app (they will have some funky names, but you should be able to tell which ones they are), then reboot to recovery wipe cache, flash new gapps and then reboot (it will be a long one).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] JeffW8:
This happened to me as well. I had installed Handcent and turned off notifications for the stock messaging app. This worked fine until I flashed a newer ROM, and then I stopped receiving texts as well. I was able to fix this merely by uninstalling Handcent, turning back on notifications for the stock messaging app, and rebooting just for good measure.
