Awesome to see it's going good around those places! I don't know much about Des Moine, but I think Atlanta should have great coverage.

No problem jman83! One of the things I promised from the beginning was to answer each and everyone of you as fast as possible, and I plan to keep that promise for quite some time.

That sucks that the swap is not working.. Theoretically you shouldn't have any issues with this, however Read the bottom of this post and it will have what I am going to answer this with.

Yeah, I remember even on 1.5 going through northern Fl, and I didn't have any signal whatsoever, so I am sure it's most probably the towers, but the radio may have something to do with it. Just to ask did you try setting Collin_ph settings? I am not sure ATM if I posted on that (I really should :X) Oh well, here's how you set it (in Android Terminal for convenience since your on a trip!)

1. open android terminal (for everyone else unless you want to do it this way follow from adb shell)

2. type 'su' and wait for superuser settings to show, and press allow.

3. type 'batt-cfg' and press enter.

4. type '3' and press enter for "customize settings"

5. you can mess with the settings if you want but I am getting some pretty impressive battery performance by just accepting the defaults (press enter for all the settings)

6. Once it's done, exit the console (or adb) and reboot the phone.

FYI just if anyone didn't know everything that is done in adb (besides push and pull) can be achieved in Android terminal by typing the same commands. It's just 10x more aggrivating and tedious to type case sensitive text commands into the Android Terminal via the touchkeys than by a real keyboard.

Also one more thing. I have noticed that a lot of you are really having some problems with a2sd via how it's configured in the rom. I am going to see if I can patch the boot image (like I was supposed to) and upload a flashable version. Possibly as early as tomorrow. Usually I would get stuff like this done overnight, however I am really pooped tonight, so if not by tomorrow mid-day, then tomorrow night.

All, I got Android Tether to work in infrastructure mode:

First I had to remove the existing version of tether from the ROM:

adb remount

adb shell

cd /system/app

rm wireless_tether_2_0_2.apk

exit

Next I pushed the newest version (anything after pre-3 should work):

adb push wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre7.apk /system/app

I opened the app on the phone, and then closed it (this created the config files)

Then I got the tiwlan.ini file

adb pull /data/data/android.tether/conf/tiwlan.ini

ANd I opened that file in UltaEdit (any text editor should work) and changed the following line (line 100 of 110):

WiFiAdhoc = 1

to

WiFiAdhoc = 0

and saved the file (with unix line terminators)

then i put the config file back on the phone:

adb push tiwlan.ini /data/data/android.tether/conf/tiwlan.ini

and restarted wifi-tether

It now lets me connect wirelessly in infrastructure mode ... but it still blocks VPN access.

I've confirmed that android tether allows PPTP (the rule is in there), so it must be blocked at CellularSouth.

At the very least, this should let other people do Infrastructure mode.

jman83, I too am having the same problem. I was running the Dirteh_South_Fast_Dubz-Final rom without any problems, then downloaded the new SouthPaw. I wiped before flashing and after about 2 hours of watching the android guy wave, I wiped and reloaded Dirteh_South. I tested the SouthPaw zip file and did not get any errors with winzip, winrar or 7-zip. Anyone else have the same problem?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dgl3906464:
Anyone happen to have a nandroid backup from pre-2.1?

I'm looking for the Bluetooth.apk from the stock 1.6 (if it was even named the same) - just trying to see if it's a corrupt file or if it's totally different.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] foo392:
bsl?

Wait Wait Wait hold it right there mister......you live in bsl?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jman83:
It installed fine for me after I partitioned my sd card. I'm not sure if that had anything to do with it but that is the only thing I changed.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
Pre-2.1? Like from sprint's 1.6?

I just wonder why it works for some and not for others... Tell you what, could you post a logcat of the first bootup?

Who me?! No... I live in outer space :P Actually I do not live in bsl though. I would say but I feel like CS is just waiting to see if they can void some warranties here :X I would LOVE to have a meetup on the coast though.

It's making me wonder about all this. Last night I went back, patched the kernel (found out I only missed one line of code anyways) for the a2sd setup, removed the jackpal.androidterm.apk, replaced with AndroidTerm.apk (from their website), Wiped and flashed... STILL no go on copying the old apps And to top it off, Android Terminal did the EXACT SAME thing as last time... I am starting to wonder if it's an incompatibility with the kitchen (because the same thing happens with the XDA-voice/keyboard that I was also going to add to the rom)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dgl3906464:
I'd rather the bluetooth.apk from the cell south 1.6 if you had that rooted and a way to pull that, but I'd try sprint, too. Probably the same apk.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
@dgl3906464 - CS never had 1.6 it was 1.5, and no one (at least to my knowledge) ever rooted that version. You had to update to a jank Sprint 1.6 to get root first before flashing another rom back before they came up with the stupid ez root system they have now, but if you find that 1.6 (I might have it somewhere)

You should be able to find the same bluetooth apk. But bluetooth is completely borked in 1.5/6 so.. why would you want it? (Just curious)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dgl3906464:
Blue tooth won't connect to my car in 2.1; it was borked, but at least it connected...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dvdrewinder:
Update: I tried one more time and re-downloaded the southpaw rom, wiped the phone and flashed again. Same results an hour of watching the little android guy wave. I then did as jman83 did, booted into recovery, partitioned the sd card, wiped the phone. I transferred the rom back to the sd card and let the load process begin. After it completed and restarted the phone, after about ten minutes or so, it loaded to the home screen. I've been using this all day without any problemsl. Voicemail notification works, evdo works, and the phone is a lot faster. Great ROM hexskrew. Thanks! I Still don't know why it wouldn't load without partitioning the sd card though. How would I go about wiping the sd card and reformatting the entire card back to fat32?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
***FOUND THE REASON WHY PEOPLE ARE HAVING ISSUES FLASHING THIS***

For everyone that had issues with bootlooping (or didn't get past the little android guy peeking around the screen) I have found out why this is happening. I just got a reply back from tkirton (maintainer for A2SD):

And dvdrewinder, when I read your reply it makes perfect sense.

"Running a2sd install if the card didn't mount on boot could cause a boot loop when you reboot."

That's the key! The EXT2/3 partitions are NOT going to be mounted if they are not created... And of course a2sd setup will be ran on first boot after flash, thereby causing a bootloop...

Well, now I am faced with an interesting decision... Should I just remove A2SD from the rom? It's great software but not EVERYONE will want to use it...

Moreoverly, with the fact the apks installed upon flash do not get copied, really the only thing it will do for us is move the dalvik cache and copy any apps you install afterward. Meanwhile everyone not partitioning their sd cards won't be able to use the rom, which is not what I want. This rom should be all about OTB usability with minimal effort.

Strangely enough though... It seems like no one had this problem with any of the other versions (Which ALL supports apps2sd, just the version from the kitchen..... HMMMMMMM.... I have a thought...)

I think I know what happened. I FINALLY have it figured out. There IS apps2sd already setup in the system, provided by THE KITCHEN from when I set it up.

I have just found my own answer (I am sure you all think I am odd by my rambling... )

I am going to leave a disclaimer on the main page. Anyone who wants to use this version right now HAS to be partitioned for it to work properly. I will have a proper working version up ASAP!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dvdrewinder:
Thanks hexskrew, and something else to confirm that, I was using the original 2gb sd that came with the phone, and today I bought an 8gb, which was partitioned as all fat32, when I put it in the phone, same thing happened just hung. I put the original sd card back in and everything booted. While I had the phone booted, I unmounted the sd card and put the 8gb in and recieved a notification stating the sd card was damaged, when in fact it wasn't, I tested it on a pc card reader. I booted into recovery and created partitions on the card rebooted and everything was well. Im just guessing that everytime the phone boots a2sd is always looking for the ext partitions.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] studdyhalllooser:
This is my firs custom rom to put on the phone. i rooted today and on the first several attempts with the rom i could not get past the waving android guy. after reading thru some posts i decided to partition the sd card and try again. this worked. maybe it should be included as a note on the first page. so far no issues with the rom. thank you!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
Well I did try hard last night to hurry up and make a fixed update however... I am going to have to manually fix the boot file for a2sd, so it will probably be tonight but I will definitely have it tomorrow! no matter what! I am off tomorrow :)

I want it to be completely fixed for everyone here, so instead of constant updates, follies, and fixes, it can just be one good working rom with flashable updates.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dvdrewinder:
hexskrew, found something to check on. If you have the htc sense homescreen loaded, and go to add widgets, then htc widgets, it will download the list of htc widgets, battery, tip calculator, this day in history, etc.., and will let you download the widgets, however they never install. It shows they do, but they are nowhere on the phone. Is this because this rom is rooted? They will download and install on the Factory CS 2.1 RUU, I even put this on my wife's hero, and same results, will download but not install. It's nothing major, I just use to use the Battery and this day in history widgets alot. They are in the market, but when you download them from the market, they are older versions and when they try to install they give an imcompatible error.

Thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dgl3906464:
So I finally got my bluetooth working: I pulled and replaced the bluetooth.apk (extracted from the original), wiped my data, changed my phone BluetoothID, then went to my car and did a hard-reset on the bluetooth module there (memory wipe).

Once I re-paired and set everything up, it runs like a top.

My guess is the car somehow cached that it used to use an older version of bluetooth, and wouldn't use the newer spec? I dunno.

Download Link not working : (
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jeepman007:
I checked the settings as you posted Hex, really didn't see the need to change anything in there. Not sure but for some reason my signal is really poor in Orlando now. And my battery drains because it looses the signal constantly. I would get EvDo working once in awhile even though it showed connected everywhere I went.

I am in Orlando (near and around downtown) atleast once a month (all major carriers available). I might install the CS stock rom and see if the connection is still an issue. Not sure if its the rooted rom, the new radio or maybe some settings. I know there are more settings to play with, but knowing how to get to them and what can and cannot be played with is tough to find.

Wish I could change rom's while there to figure out where the actual issue is coming from.

Is there a way to change the kernel or a script or whatever to get the phone to boot automatically as soon as a power source is connected?

I'm going to use a phone as a media device (will be in a closed box so nobody can fiddle with it, with continues power connected), but it will be stupid for me to go to the site to turn it on if the main power has failed and the battery has run empty. I would like the phone to turn on automatically as soon as the main power is restored!

Any help will be appreciated!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kd0t:
default behaviour already.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] heroandroid:
not on my hero? or is it only when the battery goes totally flat?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
well firstly with these types of batteries you don't want to make a common thing about running them down to 0% its not good for the life of the battery.

and secondly I agree, afaik my phone does not auto boot when power is in place maybe that poster got confused between booting (from power off) and the screen turning on from sleep.

As the phone is turned off I don't think it will be possible to create something to make it auto turn on.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] heroandroid:
Thanks for the replies!

The device will be connected to a power source continuously and will probably never go flat. I just need a way to power it up in case something happens and the device go flat!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
I honestly don't think this is possible, since the SPL is the only thing with control of the phone at this point. If the SPL does it, then you're fine. Otherwise you can't :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] heroandroid:
Thanks

Thanks for all the replies guys! I guess i'm screwed then! :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] heroandroid:
Just another observation! When the phone is plugged in to a power source, and the battery is removed and then replaced, the phone starts by itself! Any ideas why?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] croques:
No, no screwed...

You are, maybe, if you only think along software lines for a solution. There was a world of invention before software.... but you probably won't remember.

How about considering a mechanical switch operated only when the power is first connected. Something along the lines of a cam that bears against the on switch. The cam could be profiled to give a continuous press for a few seconds as it turns. After one full revolution the cam switches its driving motor off until power is removed and restored again. One-off wipes of windscreen wipers come to mind as an example.

Or,if you like electronics, how about a 555 timer IC (do they still exist?) and look up an electronic one shot circuit in a cookbook. You could parallel wire to the phone switch or you could use an electo-mechanical actuator.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] heroandroid:
Not bad!

Not a bad idea, but this would be my last resort, as I plan on at least 500 units, it will take to long to modify them all. And I do like electronics, I'm actually an electronic engineer, but switched to pure programming a couple of months back! And yes you do still get 555 timers.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] maxisma:
This isn't even possible that easy because the phone won't turn on if the battery is below ~2 %..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] croques:
Big time beckons...

Well if that's for real I would approach HTC; give them your problem and ask for a special to be manufactured.

Then when you're in the Dragons Den just tell them Croques sent you.;)

Have you looked at all the 7" slates from china retailing at £65 and up - they are WiFi but you could dongle them if needed. Or do you specifically need the phone application? They have terrible battery life - 2hrs reported - so mains is the only way for them.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] croques:
Yer... but no... bt yer

I'm not sure as I follow this; but since its SNAFU here most of the time it's not unusual.

In operation, with the phone permanently connected to mains, the battery will remain at full charge. If the power is removed the battery will discharge until critical - and then switch itself off. The battery will thus be protected from going less than 2% won't it?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] heroandroid:
I need to be connected to the GSM network! The media must be transfered to the device over the network! Wifi is not an option! Do you really think they'll make it custom if I take 500? I think 500 is pocket change for them!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] heroandroid:
I'll let you know soon enough! I'm draining my battery as we speak!!

I mean my phone's battery, not mine!! :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] croques:
I have no idea; nor do you; so ask! Your 500 units could be the start of something big... I have no idea what you are up to... but more importantly neither would HTC - you could say 500 units were for market trials with a potential large order to follow if the trial is successful.

Nothing ventured nothing gained; remember the 'glass is half-empty' only if you let it be!

(I'm on to life coaching now and people pay money for this!)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] heroandroid:
Battery drained. It does start when power button is pressed after reapplying power! I assume if it is left drained for a while it will need some time to recover before it will boot. But it's easy enough to put a longer delay on the "button pusher"!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kwiksand:
That's unfortunate considering these phones without a charge during the day quite often be drained completely while I'm out of the house.

Saying that though on FroydVillain + Cyanogen6.0 (Froyo), I've noticed my battery life is substantially better, and has been for days now. I'm not sure how thats even possible, but I've got home three days in a row after about 12 hours off charge and the batter is still showing >50% charge.

I am not on sprint and have been trying to get mms set up on my hero.

Can anyone point me in the right direction I have tried setting my apn settings using apn backup/restore from the market. I also tried adding my apn settings using adb. But nothing seems to work. I was able to get settings to work on ZenExp other then a the phone number displaying wrong.

My mmsc is "http://mmsc.akdt.dataonair.net/".

I attached the an apn backup from a stock 2.1 rom from my carrier.

From looking at the list I can see 3 different apn names CDMA, Production, and Android.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lohp75:
Hey bud, I see your still having trouble with that. Well here's the only two bits I can give you, unless you really don't like sense roms I have found that they are the only ones that will let you play with any settings. Regaw makes a nice one but kinda plain. I'm on ALOYSIUS 2.1 and very happy with it. You actually have choices between an AOSP dialer or stock with EPST TO get into data and mls. It also sports two different launchers, an AOSP style helix or sense. I had no problem changing mms settings through adb with either ROM. At least take a look at ALOYSIUS, which is based off damagecontrol. Good luck bud.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d-shade:
The only problem with sprint based 2.1 roms is voicemail notification. I personally don't have any problem with not having voicemail notifications as I normally check when I miss a call but I am trying to set up my gf up with a rom that works without any major hiccups. Besides the the issue with mms the best option seems to be ZenExp, BitterSweet, or an AOSP rom.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lohp75:
Well bud, I haven't tried Zen or bittersweet. I have tried buffed, darchdroid, and froyo rc0 and none of them would take mms settings. I saw there is a buff update with mms fix so I'm gonna flash and tinker with it tonight. So far ALOYISIUS non oc'ed with maps and update is the best stable Rom I've run, would probably be a good one for your girl. Right now I'm going to try my voice Mail notifications and ill get back to you.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lohp75:
No notifications, but that is the only negative to this Rom so far and I've been on it for over a week. I will try buffed here in a little bit and let you know, as far as AOSP roms it was the best for me but no mms.

Hi all,

I just unbranded my T-Mobile DE Desire and I'm having trouble restoring the Sense backup. Searching around the forums pointed me to a thread that stated that after hard resetting you just let your desire sit there for a minute after booting and the restore mechanism will automatically kick in.

This however doesn't seem to work for me :-( Is there a way to manually trigger the HTC Sense Restore? It sits there encrypted on my SD Card and I can't get it to restore :-(

Thanks for your help,

Alex
[Desire General] A|ex:
What version was your desire before you unbranded it? the only way to kick start it is to turn your phone off and back on again. Do you have backup to sd enabled on your phone?
[Desire General] Desire_this!:
A similar thing has happened to me too. Stock ROM backed up SMS etc ok, and I was able to restore on MCR r3.1. However on MCR r5 WIP refresh it doesn't restore from the MCR r3.1 ROM. This also occurred with the 2.2 DJ Droid ROM. =(
[Desire General] dajudge01:
I did run the stock T-Mobile DE ROM before. Now I am running the unbranded ROM that comes with the rooting method from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=696189

I noticed that the restore mechanism itself is indeed working: backups made from the new rom can be restored upon factory reset without problems. It's just the backup from the previous ROM that is not recognized.

Any ideas? Isn't the whole point of those backups to work after ROM upgrades?

Thanks for your help!

Alex
