I had the same problem. I flashed the DecaFuct-12222010-691.zip which resolved it. I believe the kernel that comes with the ROM is OCed at 768MHz which causes the boot loop. The -691.zip caps it at 681MHz.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Proteus9:
I'm unable to find just the "stock kernel". Where can I find it? Thanks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] holic87:
Would it be better to flash the Dec. 31 update with the 691 kernel, then install SetCPU, cap the max freq. at 691 before flashing the 768 kernel and then bumping the max freq. up to something like 710?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] laie1472:
My bad just flash the rom first. Then try to setup the exchange account. Then flash dec's kernel. Hope it helps good luck. Also might want to start fresh as in no mods at all until you set the account up..

[Hero CDMA Android Development] Proteus9:
If I don't install dec's 691 kernel, I can't boot, i.e., the phone goes into a boot loop ... HTC ... HTC ... HTC, etc. Installing dec's 691 kernel allows me to boot the phone. Holic87 suggested using SetCPU. So once I get the phone to boot again (after flashing dec's 691 kernel, cuz I just tried again without it and it looped), I'll have to download SetCPU and set the cpu down from 691. Maybe that will get the Exchange account to setup. I'll let you know....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] counterfeit187:
One final thing that I'd like to fix before I can call this the perfect rom, is that the clear button in the notification bar is black. I'm using the Vanilla build, and I reallize that you can and already have changed the color of the text in the CyanogenMod settings, but the button itself being dark doesn't fit the rest of the UI. any suggestions?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Proteus9:
I re-installed the rom and google apps (after wiping everything) and set the cpu frequency to 480 and I still get the "Setup could not finish" and "Unable to open connection to server" error when trying to setup my Exchange (Exchange 2010 SP1) account. Do I have to set it even lower or is there something else hosed here? My google account and another pop3 account works fine.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] swdude12:
Ya that didnt work...I flashed Dec. 31 and then flashed DecaFuct-12222010 and it still boots HTC over and over.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] laie1472:
Na if your pop3 and google account works then IMO its most likely not the kernel so there's no need to set it lower. Tell me do did you set the account up when the rom first boots up??? You know after you touch the little android guy and it asks you to setup accounts. Or did you set your rom up and then tried to setup the account?? If its the latter then make a nand and try a fresh install and try to setup the account when it first boots into the rom. Also try to snyc the account before you add your google or pop3.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] Proteus9:
Not sure if you mistyped but you need to flash DecaFuct-12222010-691.zip, not DecaFuct-12222010.zip.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] swdude12:
sorry i meant DecaFuct-12222010-691.zip....so yes i did flash the correct zip and it keeps rebooting HTC screen...i also wiped
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Proteus9:
I did a fresh install with/without the google apps. Without the google apps brought me to the home screen without prompting me to setup anything. With the google apps installed, I was prompted to only create/sign-in to/skip setting up a google account. I couldn't setup an Exchange account at that point. In both cases, I tried setting up the Exchange account after getting to the home screen but neither worked. So I'm stumped. I like this rom but I really need the Exchange account working on the phone.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Using vanilla, I just went to try and add an exchange account.

Menu | Settings | Accounts & Sync | Add Account | Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync

Prompted me for all my information, and started pulling emails afterwards.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] spleef:
best stable rom out there thanks Bud
[Hero CDMA Android Development] laie1472:
My bad, you have to flash the fresh rom.

Then flash the Gapps.

Then try to setup the account when the rom fitst boots up.

Try to add the account before you sighn into your google or pop3 account.

Having some issues with BlackMod

So I decided to take the plunge and installed the BlackMod. I have been having a few issues and was hoping you awesome folks would be able to help me.

I had been running Cm 6.1 rc1 with no problems. I decided to do a wipe and start from scratch. Did a wipe and a cache wipe, flashed blackmod then flashed gapps. Upon boot it would give me a force close on android.market,uploader. something or other. So I wiped again and installed cm 6.1 rc1 and gapps, booted up and logged in then flashed Blackmod on top of Cm. Booted up and all seemed okay. Then I flashed DecaFuct-122220101 and BatteryTweakDecaMODv2.2 and rebooted. Now anytime I open an app or do anything on my phone it seems kind of slow compared to the responsiveness I have had in the past. I especially notice this when playing music over blue tooth in my car, any time the screen orientation changes the music gets all skippy and such. Any suggestions? I really do like the BlackMod and would like to stick with it until CM7 (hopefully) hits for our Heros.

Thanks in advance for any help/advice!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
first, kernels seem to "settle in" so use it a bit and it should speed up, at least in my experience. you could add a screen rotation toggle to your dropdown bar and keep it off unless you need it. also, you should tweak the tweak so your min cpu speed is at least 176, that should help, also, others have reported that enabling the audio fix in the tweak helps with stutter. another thing I do is in settings/apps/dev/ use the stay awake feature while charging, this works well for me because I always use the phone in the car for audio and it's always plugged in when i do so. Good luck.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mbuchholz:

So, has anyone found a way to suppress that annoying voicemail icon issue yet? I looked for awhile but couldn't find anything. Not a deal-breaker for me, but it really is quite an irritant.

Has this issue with 3rd-party widgets been addressed?

Every time I reboot, all of my 3rd-party widgets are replaced with "Problem Loading Widget", are gone from the Widget menu, but are still in the app list and the Market thinks they're installed. The only way to get them back in the widget menu and back on one of my home screens is to uninstall/reinstall them.

I tried "wipe data/factory reset", "wipe cache partition", "format boot/system/data/cache", & "wipe Dalvik cache" to no avail.

Also, the new "Clear" button in the notifications drop-down seems a bit wonky-looking. The text/background contrast is bad, and it's small and difficult to see.

All of this seemed to happen in the (31-DEC) update, but I'm not 100%.

This is Vanilla, BTW.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Proteus9:
Not sure what you meant by the "fresh" rom since there is a rom called "fresh". Please clarify. Thx.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Wingchun222:
So I'm still having issues and decided I wanted to nandroid back. For some reason when I try to boot into recovery it hangs at the splash screen. If I flash clock work recovery mod I can boot into recovery but that does need no good with a amon ra nandroid if I'm not mistaken, any ideas ol buddy's ol pals?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] JeffW8:
Not sure if this is it, bit I found that moving the widget app to SD caused this for me. If the widgets are installed on the SD card, try moving them back to the phone.

You dont have to wipe, I didnt and now my camera works great, same for my wife's phone!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sputnikk23:
*confused*

what did you flash to get camera working?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Big-O-Devil:
so does the camera work or not... is it a flash file or push file.... someone please help...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ItsDon:
Guys, if you want the camera to work go to the irc and download the latest version of the rom. You can do a no wipe flash like I did and the camera will work. Still a couple of bugs to be ironed out but Darkstar is all over it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] raz699:
Worked for me as well. A no wipe flash and I have camera. Only glitch is when you take a picture then delete it, the camera stays on a blurry frozen screen but the back button takes you back to preview screen.

hey i just tried to install aug7 vanilla and at the reboot screen when installing i got an error and it said installation aborted, thank god for my nandroid backup tho!

[Hero CDMA Android Development] EvilMonkey55:
yo, did u leave it as .zip or extract then copy to sd card?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jason kiDD:
Used Titanium Backup.. However the only problem I am having is its not saving my games. World War, Racing, Ninja, & Vampires live data is not being pushed over to the new rom. I have done this before with other roms with no issues but with this one the game starts over from scratch.. :mad:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 1BadBB6:
just flashed this and my camera only half way works, it will take pictures but does not give me a preview of what i am taking a picture of. does anybody know how to fix this? thanks in advance. other than that ROM is working great, I love it!!

Allowed Titanium Backup to fully finish and now all my game data is restored. Thanks for a great rom this will now be my number 1 for now!! :D

reload the widgets then, that's normal, at least it happens to me too.

this rom not "freshrom"

you can flash amon ra 1.6.2 or darch-ra 1.7(both .img files are easily found in here), both will read the nands you have. you could also try to manually copy a nand from your nandroid folder into your clockworkmod/backups folder.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Wingchun222:
Can I just flash it from clock work recovery, or do I have to go the adb route? Also, can I search to find things via the XDA app? Can't seem to find a search button.

Exchange email issue

I have had the 31-DEC rom installed for a few weeks now and really like it. However, there is a problem with my exchange email account.

When I first flashed the rom I rebooted a few times to make sure all was well then installed any apps I needed followed by syncing all of my account info. Everything was fine and worked and I hadn't rebooted my phone since. I rebooted today and received a force close message on process com.android.email. After this all of my exchange info is gone as if I deleted the account. I can immediately set it back up and it works but upon rebooting again I get the same force close and again exchange is gone.

Any ideas?

Coming from Fresh 2.4.0.

It's stuck on a boot loop for me. It's either that or its just stuck on the white HTC screen.

Did everything you are suppose to do.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Assuming you wiped everything and tried clearing dalvik, I would guess it was a bad download. Try downloading again, full wipe, and reflash.

I tried again and it still fails. See my comment below...

There appears to be issues with Froyo and MS Exchange Server 2010 SP1. See Issue 11177:	ActiveSync Broken with Exchange 2010 SP1 and Android 2.2 http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=11177

Comment 27 in that thread states:

"Actually, the problem you're describing is better attributed to bugs 8601 and/or 9973, which are present in 2.2 but are fixed in 2.2.1.

This bug (11177) is specifically related to a new issue relating to an interaction between 2.2.1 (which is not yet released to Droid) and Exchange 2010-SP1 servers. Let's keep this bug focused on that configuration only."

I'm thinking of getting the new Grom bluetooth dongle for my car so I can stream slacker and other music from my Hero. How is bluetooth audio streaming with this rom?

Any thoughts about reverting the change that disabled trackball notifications at http://github.com/darchstar/android_device_htc_heroc/commit/898445501dd9efaf60a0bd64ed3ca3437ea59072 ? Maybe you could post just a version of CMParts.apk that doesn't include the change if you don't want to make it global.

I'm not sure why the ability to customize trackball notifications was removed -- it worked fine for me at the time.

Overall the rom is stable for me too however whenever I open up in a website and goto use the keyboard for the first time the first letter always 'sticks' and turns to its special character.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dpeeps74:
For the keyboard giving a long press key on the first key press, I nandroided back to the previous install, copied the latinime apks over to my sd card, restored my "current" nandroid, copied the 2 apks in to system app using root explorer, ran both to install (don't think I needed to do that with the tutorial 1), rebooted and viola.
