Update Posted - 22SEP

Updates posted after repo sync at 8AM Eastern. These have only had the standard 30 seconds of exhaustive testing, so YMMV.

Added BlackMod ROM variant based on Gomorrah's Blackmod theme. Big thanks for agreeing to let me incorporate his design into an overlay for build time ROM integration.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Dan330:
any screen shots?? :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] raz699:
Just installed Black mod and let my daughter play with the phone while rebooting (she's 2). When reboot was done the phone said "safe mode". Anyone know how to do that on purpose?

By the way, the notification screen on black mod is rediculously cool.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PMDColeslaw:
That's just funny :D

Can anyone confirm if the latest version of this rom has working Blue Tooth Voice Dial. I'm on CM6 right now and it's broken since the update.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaybob413:
Yes. All 3 versions should have working Bluetooth Voice Dialer.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PMDColeslaw:
Awesome! One more thing, what if anything will I lose by swithing from CM 6.0.0to this one. They look pretty symetrical but I want to make sure there isnt a major difference that I'm unaware of.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaybob413:
They are built from the same source. The biggest difference other than the blue and black themes are a slightly different kernel build (you can load others if you wish), and changes to the Camera app to call 2D gallery from the thumbnail, removing the button that called the Camera app from Gallery3D, and the VoiceDialer change to support BT Voice Dialing. Other than that they are built from a different point in time as far as updates go. The nightly builds are automatically started at a certain point in time (I think it is at midnight UTC). I try to look for a point when updates are not so fast and furious and things are not changing on a minute by minute basis. The rate of source updates seems to have been slower since CM got to stable releasees. Net net, not much difference from a functional perspective.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PMDColeslaw:
Cool! Thanks for the info, Ill give it a shot
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DoughnutSpanker:
If I have vanilla, can I flash Black without wipe?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaybob413:
You should be able to go from any one to another. Nandroid is your friend.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pwachleman:
I flashed the blackmod version early early this morning, is there anything new in the one posted now? Thanks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DemonRagna:
Anybody having reboot issues?! Mines go in an infinite loop after I login my Gmail account. I flash Vanilla and Gapps.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaybob413:
Some incremental changes and fixes. Nothing that noticeable I can think of other than a setting to lock MMS in memory. (I don't think that was in the 21SEP version)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jrockrockon:
I've had boot issues after flashing this latest version. I get through the cyanogen mod boot screen and the it stalls and reboots when it starts loading the launcher. Praise nandroid.

I'm also using vanillla and gapps.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] counterfeit187:
BOOT LOOP

I also got caught in the cyanogen screen boot loop after updating to the Sep22 vanilla rom. going to try blackmod for now. Hope this gets fixed soon because vanilla is good stuff. Also, noticed that the clock in the statusbar is black on the blackmod, gonna go dig for a setting for that.

Edit: black mod not very pretty on this phone, can change clock color in Cyanogen UI settings, but notices still show up in black (this too can be changed in settings, seems like quite a bit of digging and color picking)... basically unreadable. going back to CM vanilla 6.0 :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Not sure if you are in this situation or not but sometimes when I update the rom it will reboot 3-4 times when reaching the lock screen or on the CM boot screen then eventually work. I've taken to giving it 20 minutes before declaring it a failure because of it sometimes spontaneously works. It rebooted 2 times when I updated to sep-22 vanilla.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] counterfeit187:
Retry of Sep22 vanilla proved succesful after wiping everying, including Dalvik cache in clockworks advance settings. May have also been an issue with low battery. Thank you.

Edit: went back into boot loop after trying to charge for a while :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DemonRagna:
Well for me, I'm trying the BlackMod right now and it last longer than the Vanilla version. :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaybob413:
If you run the "Theme Defaults" app, it will set the status bar colors to white. The only one you may want to set separately is the "Clear Notifications" color, which will be hard to see. You can set that color from the Settings > CyanogenMod > User Interface > Notification Colors menu.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DoughnutSpanker:
I just flashed vanilla sept-22, and so far it has rebooted about 11 times. Time to give up?

Yay for nandroid.

EDIT: 25 times... Calling it quits.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] counterfeit187:
Well glad I can get rid of my Hero on Oct 11. Upgrade to evo Dev's have done good on this rom Cyanogen is AWESOME! but I will be happy to run an official FroYo release
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ItsDon:
Just dogpiling here but I wiped completely and had the vanilla boot loop. Gave up after boot 8 and nandroided to something else. Would love to come back as Jaybobs stuff is top notch.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DoughnutSpanker:
Well after my boot problems I went ahead and full wiped, and it installed flawlessly.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DemonRagna:
So you did get it to work? No boot loop?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DoughnutSpanker:
Yeah, but I don't know if it was the vanilla or not... The first time I tried vanilla and got the loop but then I wiped and tried black and it worked.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaybob413:
Boot Loop Logcat?

I have two phones running Blue and one Black here, and we have all been running all day with no issues. I did load and test Vanilla a while ago, and have also had no problems, so I need some more info to try to resolve this issue.

It looks the people having boot loop issues are on the Vanilla ROM. Can someone capture the logcat and post it on pastebin?

In the meantime, I am going to clean, re-sync, rebuild, and re-upload the Vanilla ROM. Should be done in an hour or so.

UPDATE - VANILLA REBUILD Posted in OP
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dj_anto:
still dude ... I just tried the new one and it is the same story ...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] raz699:
Seriously, anyone know? I think it would be handy for trouble shooting.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaybob413:
It booted right up for me (although the previous one did as well). I need more information (logcat posted to pastebin) would be great, and a step by step of what you did leading up to the problem. (i.e. what recovery you are using, what rom, wipe or no-wipe, flashing sequence, carrier, previous rom, ...) Not much I can do without that kind of detail other than to say it works for me, and I understand that it does not work for you.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] raz699:
Edit....hold menu while booting.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] the_jak:
not working

I have had my hero since march of this year but rooting and custom ROMs are very new to me. I installed the lastest version of the ROM listed in red but upon booting i get a cyanogen logo (its very pretty and nice but i want to make calls to besides look at a loading screen) that runs for about 5 seconds and then appears to reset. i let it do this for a few min and it did nothing else. Im going to let it run that for a while while I hit the sack. I dont know if I did something wrong or if its on the other end. If it does actually load and work as a phone too ill post that.

Thanks for making this as when it does work im looking forward to using it. Im a huge fan of android and love my Hero, just want it to do a little more than HTC and sprint do.

I just realised that there area 138 pages of people reporting what Im assuming is the same problem as I had. Ill try the black mod until Vanilla is working

thanks again and sorry I could provide more info besides "it doesnt work"
[Hero CDMA Android Development] trindy:
I'm not having any of the bootloop problems that a lot of people are having. The first time I wiped everything and flashed it. Everything started up without any problems. I checked to see if I could send/receive MMS and I couldnt. I decided that this is so pretty that I would just live with it until it was fixed (its not like I send those all the time anyway). Then I got lazy restoring everything so I wiped again, restored a nandroid and flashed the pretty black over top of yesterdays blue. :) Again no problems.

Like I said, the ONLY issue that I am having is that I cant send or receive MMS messages. I did notice something tho. Before, when I tried to send the phone would tell me that the message was too big and ask if I wanted to resize it. I dont get that resize warning/question anymore. Could that be why it's not sending?

Thank you for all of your work on this ROM. I think it is 99% perfect and I love it. My upgrade isnt until December and because of you, the wait isnt so bad anymore :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] armychris28210:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaybob413:
Son of Vanilla Update

I have basically rebuilt the Vanilla version from scratch, starting with a clean repo init and sync, and applying the modifications I use to build.

This has been posted in the OP as Update 2.

I ran the last update for 5 hours with no issues, and am currently running this Update 2. For those having problems, please try Update 2, and see if that fixes your problems. Please let me know if the Black and Blue versions work, and only Vanilla is causing problems.

Remember, a logcat posted to pastebin.com might provide some insight into the issue. I continue to run all three versions with no freezes, lockups, reboots.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] prattleon:
anyone having trouble using the barcode scanner in this ROM? it cycles repeatedly from focusing on the barcode to going out of focus and never reads it. i assume this has something to do with the camera issues.

Your best bet is to download google voice from the market and set up your voicemail through there.

sense clock widget

For everyone looking for the sense style widget, heres the zip file for fancy widget, which was booted off the market by htc. It was free, it was great, all credit to the guys who developed it, and somebody posted it in another forum a while back when the last updated version came out this summer. I'm using it on this rom, the blue theme, and i love it. You can customize what app clicking the clock, date, and weather takes you to.

Enjoy!

and by the way, awesome froyo rom
[Hero CDMA Android Development] lulu1993:
High-end Androids??

After flashing this rom I noticed that I was able to play games such as Replica that used to lag like crazy on my hero with no lag! I know that froyo is faster but is a hero running a froyo rom considered a "high-end" android that is suitable for apps such as the psx emulator?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
Just as a heads up, I had difficulty setting Google Voice as my voicemail setup when I downloaded the updates from the market. If you use the version that is already installed in /system/app, it works beautifully.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] castleweaver:
First, thank you so much! This is awsome.

After doing some googling I read that froyo doesnt automatically come with flash so I googled, I found a APK file for Adobe Beta 10 for froyo. I downloaded it installed it on my phone & everytime it starts to install my phone restarts.

Is there somewhere I can get flash or am I doing something wrong
[Hero CDMA Android Development] StephenMilone:
sorry if this was asked before i didnt find a post in my quick searches earlier...is there a way to make the lockscreen wallpaper clear/transparent? i got used to seeing my widgets w/o unlocking my phone..thanks!

Working Facebook Sync

I don't know about anyone else, but I've had Facebook Sync issues ... contacts specifically. I realized it was kind of a rampant problem across pretty much any rom, and when the CM6 "Facebook Fix" didn't work on this rom, I just kind of said oh well, I'll wait until its fixed. But I was digging on the Evo Themes & Apps page, and found a Facebook app that TheBiles hacked specifically for Cyanogenmod and modified the build.prop on in order to get FB Sync operational. I just tried it, and it works brilliantly (synced all photos in less than 5 minutes). The apk file is attached, and basically you just delete the old Facebook app, reboot the phone, then install the new one. Problem solved.

Like I said, maybe I'm the only one with this problem, but if not, hope this helps.

After I flashed the ROM V1 Jun20 I realized I didn't have Market anymore. Anybody else experience this? Where did it go?

Works for me. Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] lilmikeyv:
I tried this and keep getting boot loops on all my previous nandroids. I'm wiping data and cache am I supposed to, or am I supposedd to do something else. Plz help! I love this rom, but also love to be able to switch around. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

I just flashed to the vanilla with no issues. I have no problems at all, no force closes or anything.

But, my display is showing crazy battery drain even with it off. Any ideas?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abadasstanker69:
Drain the battery totally. With the phone off charge it till the green light appears. Boot in to the recovery and clear battery settings. Allow the battery to totally charge AGAIN and you should be good to go.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Zardos66:
Alright, thanks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smolck:
Also install the bat tweak. Makes a big difference
[Hero CDMA Android Development] armychris28210:
d/l it as we speak. thanks for quick reply...since this is a complete rebuild, guess it means to start from scratch, or can we flash over?...

Does anyone know the list of differences between this vanilla build and the regular Cyanogen vanilla build you get from the nightlies other then the build date? Thanks.

BlackMod running perfectly...thank you both for bringing this to XDA!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jkolton:
Blackmod is working for me just fine, but even the updated vanilla rom (which worked perfectly after first boot) is now bootlooping at least 3 times every time I reboot. It does not however spontaneously reboot anymore.

Data / internet not working

First of all, thanks for this mod release.

I have tried all three (black/blue 22sep and vanilla 23sep) but data connection is not working ie i m unable to connect to internet via phone.

I can connect to wifi to get my google account synced but unable to connect to Sprint network.

It used to work fine with android 2.1 but after flashing yesterday to with CM6 Roms data connection has stopped working.

any suggestions / tips ?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Oxrod:
Did you try turning Airplane Mode on and off?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] raman_arora:
thanks for reply..

yes .. i tried airplane mode and also disabled <--> enabled data connection..

still no use...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vayman:
I believe if you update your data profile it should fix your problem. The same thing happened to me a while back and I believe that's all that I did.

Menu > Settings > About Phone > System Updates > Update Profile

My apologies if those aren't the correct steps, but I believe that's how I solved the issue. Good luck.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] raman_arora:
Thanks,

This is what i used to do in Android 2.1 but I m unable to find System Updates anywhere on this ROM. Does anyhow has any idea about location of 'system / profile update'?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vayman:
My bad man. You're right, it was 2.1 that you did that on. I must not have had that problem while on this ROM. Sorry, must have spaced out on that one! Hopefully someone will find a solution for you. There are very helpful people on here and I'm sure someone will figure it out!

You may also want to try a nandroid > complete wipe (ext as well if you use A2SD) > re-flash

Don't know if that'll fix it for you, but sometimes a wipe and re-flash can fix the quirkiest of issues.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] secbrad:
you cant perform system updates with this ROM. You flash a sense rom, update, and then flash back. It makes it easier if you make backups of both so you don't have to fully install between flashes. Make sure you wipe everything before flashing also, I mean don't even leave a tiny particle.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] izoro:
You guys are make this rom the best out their keep up the great work. Now if I can get some one to port that 2.0 rotary lockscreen over to this I'd truly be in love. Does any one know who's leg I got to hump (lol) to get this done?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] AmbientNoise:
This was answered a while back but here you go, this worked for me to fix the MMS issue

Get root explorer ($1.99) or another file manager that can access the data folder and go to data > data > com.android.providers.telephony > databases

then delete mmssms.db and telephony.db

Then restart your phone and when it comes up you should be able to send/receive mms just fine. hope this helps
[Hero CDMA Android Development] AmbientNoise:
Over the last few days I have been experiencing my phone freezing up in various applications inconsistently, from messaging to the market to various games. I have to pull the battery, and then it usually bootloops at least once. I am running extremeblue 16 sept, original kernel, with firerat data partition. Anyone know anything about this?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] izoro:
I don't have that in my data folder. Matter of fact my data folder is empty period is that a problem?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] AmbientNoise:
If you use astro or other file managers, they won't show your data folder. it has to be a manager that can access it, probably only one that can get superuser permission. i use root explorer. if you dont want to pay for it you can buy it, download titanium backup and use it to backup root explorer. then, you can refund root explorer from the market and use titanium backup to restore it, even though you haven't technically bought it. you won't be able to update apps "bought" this way though. the market knows, lol

Had this issue as well using the Vanilla 16-sep, so I wiped and installed the revised vanilla 23-sep; which brings me to...

Had the same problem with vanilla 23-sep; the camera app itself FC'd at every attempt to use it. Reverted to a clean install of vanilla 16-sep for the time being, which works for me (it just deteriorated with time, I guess). My friend, who I helped wipe/install Blue 22-sep, reports no problems at this point.

Still something funky with Vanilla, it seems. Dev - I'd be happy to help you here in any way I can, but I haven't been 1337 since the late 90's... so I'm not quite sure how to gather the data you'd need...

@AmbientNoise I tried the delete those two file, but the keep coming back after i reboot and my mms still don't work. Maybe i need to buy that root explore to permanently delete those files? Could that be the problem?
