Whoops! no i didnt! I think it's called autokiller.. Sry about that. But don't worry about that, go ahead and flash the new update, but before you flash, do these things first!

1. Remove the SouthPawExtras folder on your sdcard

2. WIPE BEFORE FLASHING!

Reason for wiping first is mainly to be sure the terminal is removed before you flash the new version. If you have NOT flashed the HeroEssentials.zip file, you should just be able to flash without wiping.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jeepman007:
Props on the update, works great now. Installed without a hitch.

And props to the Blue Theme. First time I tried it, very nice.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] leadfoot9281:
Well I seemed to have misplaced the complete theme but I should have it up tonight. Got all the files already just need to put them together and then just metamorph it over that one.

Hey while im getting this ready if anybody is using the rotary lock screen i can get rid of the little arrows that tell you which way to spin when you press the buttons. if nobody wants them gone or is using it i wont bother to do it but if so just say something and i will throw it in there
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hero32:
where is the theme i cant find it
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
Hey once you have it ready tonight, I'll go ahead and add it to the first post, and I'll cook it into the rom as well.. I wont finish the rom tonight though because Next update I put out I wanna have some more goodies added to it (alternative rosies/alternative weather-clock, and backgrounds and ringtones and stuff)

After you flash the rom, go back into your recovery. Do like you would flash the rom but instead of selecting it, go into the SouthPawExtras folder and flash the Themed.zip file. Reboot, and then look in your programs, you will have Metamorph installed. Go into metamorph, and select the theme. Sometimes it has to be applied multiple times to work correctly.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hero32:
ok i found it on my memory card and it says it cant be metamorphed can someone help please
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sippi4x4man:
Just got finished flashing the new rom. Expeiriencing a little lag but not bad though. Theme looks great also. Haven't yet figured out how to work a2sd from the terminal, but im sure i'll figure it out. Thanks Hexscrew and Leadfoot!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] leadfoot9281:
what kind of error is it giving you?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
If metamorph says it cant find anything or something of that nature, back out of it and then go back in. I forgot about that but at first it wont find all the files it needs to work properly... Whoops again! Damn. what's next? lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
Oh for all, just a little fyi. There is no having to setup anything for a2sd this time around. Once you flash, if you have the proper partitions, your done!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] leadfoot9281:
there are alot of clock options out there. here is one i was using the other day with a red theme i been working on.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] leadfoot9281:
Ok...... after goin crazy and looking at wayyyyy to many blue things i think i got it all there now. also the arrows on rotary lockscreen will be gone, incall dialer should be changed as well and a few diff icons. i dont think i missed anything but there is alot of files there i cant help but to think im missing some but if i do i will just post a update.

http://www.mediafire.com/?buacudiq2if9kti <<------- download here.

to apply. simply download then put on SD card in folder called AndroidThemes. then go to metamorph click "start checks" then "unzip new theme" click on "TheBlueEcho" zip file. then just do it like the other theme. it can go right over it no need to wipe or recover anything. thats the great thing bout metamorph:D just as always make sure you nand backup just in case.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bbrosen:
@hex

so looking forward to installing this this weekend...no time during the week, but thanks for doing this!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
NP Bill! There is something odd though, and Sippi4x4man got it.. It's just not quite as fast as the old rom.. Though I am running the 680mhz kernel instead of the all out one, it's only 30mhz different from the 710 we used to run. I'll try clocking it up and seeing if there is a difference. If not, what I will do is change to the old kernel, and if that was the case, I'll put it in the new update instead of this one (though you can just flash over this kernel I believe)

@leadfoot, wow man, you are doing some great work, and I really wanna get in on this Metamorph craze. got me a few Ideas cookin :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dshook19:
Where can I get them icons in your screenshot?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jeepman007:
Having issues with quit a few FC's with different items downloaded from the Market. Trying to get contact widgets running. Plus I have had several others that I can't remember. Is it the kernal? Don't recall any FC's on the last rom.

process com.android.htccontects FC is the latest.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
Found the core of the sluggish issue (probably also anyones fc issues) it's the kernel... If you flashed the Brainfuct kernel... Well something isnt right with it, but just go download and flash one of these darchstar kernels from recovery found here:

691mhz Vuv'd kernel:

http://www.4shared.com/file/31GuJx7Z/Honeybun_vUV2_691.html

710mhz Vuv'd kernel

http://www.4shared.com/file/YbYt2lR4/Honeybun_vUV2_710.html

768mhz Vuv'd kernel

http://www.4shared.com/file/CeIa3x24/Honeybun_vUV2_768.html

ONLY FLASH ONE OF THESE KERNELS!!!!!

Any other one of the Vuv'd kernels will cause bootloops with this rom.

There must be a memory leak somewhere in that brainfuct kernel.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sippi4x4man:
I just realized that. I checked my internal storage and it was at 140MB and I have a ton of apps installed......sweet!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sippi4x4man:
Freakin Awesome!!! I run the same clock widget but its not as dark as that one. I would definitely flash a theme like that one.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
DOH! I have figured out what happened... I put in the Brainfuct UNSTABLE kernel release! BAH! terrible fail on my part.

I'm taking the rom down till I update the kernel with the stable Brainfuct which I just flashed and am testing right now.

**Update. I went from 38mb free memory with the Vuv'd kernel (was less than 8mb with the Brainfuct unstable) to 52mb free memory with Brainfuct stable! BEAUTIFUL!!!!***

*******************************UPDATE******************************

So NOW I have the link up that is SPV2Beta4. This update includes the stable brainfuct kernel #6 which will tremendously fix a lot of issues.

Also added some extra wallpapers in the SouthPawExtras folder :)

BTW Sorry leadfoot but I forgot to put your updated theme in there! But the good thing is, the link is now going to my own ftp server instead of mediafire, so.. MY upload time is cut into a 10th of what it was, and hopefully your download speed will be fine. Tell me how it goes :)

If your coming from SPV2 beta3 just flash over it. No need to wipe. Just make sure you select the stable kernel when you flash the kernel from the sdcard and you'll be set
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sippi4x4man:
Can't get the link to work : (
[Hero CDMA Android Development] criptix:
slow dl 54KBs but i am glad you did a new update was enjoying the first one you put out and was hoping it wouldn't be your final ROM.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mhyder_79:
The link not working from phone do I have to download it from computer
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mhyder_79:
Okay downloading from pc you are right speed at 53kb lol lol no prob I could plays some WOW NAZI ZOMBIES til then thank u
[Hero CDMA Android Development] leadfoot9281:
Its gonna be busy at work but I'm off tomorrow night and I will get you the info if I can finish it in time.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
Oh Damn! sorry about the download speed! Didnt know that screwed me up that much (supposed to be 1mb up.... they say its my equip. my wiring my blah blah blah...)

Uploading to mediafire now.

Mainly I was just trying to streamline the upload practice with my ftp server.

Here's what I do as of now:

1.Make media edits in Win7

2.Cook in Ubuntu VirtualMachine

3.Move the finished file back to Win7 through file share

4.upload to media fire.

I was trying to cut out #3 :P

BTW, I already have the updated theme file added to the NEXT version of SP (or rather sitting in the working folder to ensure it's cooked in) also I found the joy which is metamorph (why didnt I use this before?! DOH!) so it will include the alternative weather clock that I posted a pic of a while back.

Going to try to push some of the new sprint update apks into this one and see what happens. If it works right, this rom will be faster than ever. Either way from now on (since I finally know how to script) there will be two different versions you can download of this rom. One will be the full version, and one an upgrade version. That way no more having to download a full 100+mb and pushing it to the phone and doing a full update/wiping all your stuff just for one little thing.

The link from mediafire is up!*w00t*

Also, I went ahead and uploaded the metamorph for my weather clock.

Alternative Weather Clock (Metamorph)

Download: http://www.mediafire.com/?3hajyxj1g9dpahe

***NOT A FLASHABLE ZIP!***

Extract zip file to the AndroidThemes folder on your sdcard after installing metamorph, and use metamorph to apply it. It says to restart after applying, but no need to do so.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] dshook19:
Where can I get that green skull that it shows on the screenshot? I flashed the theme but there's no skull
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
I think that's another themed battery logo that someone used. Either that or it's not completely done. Don't worry though, cause leadfoots working on it :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] leadfoot9281:
If all you want is the skull added to the theme give me your email and I can send you the files and tell you where to drop them
[Hero CDMA Android Development] leadfoot9281:
Btw if anybody used the updated theme I posted last night let me know if the status bar pulldown is right. Or post a screen shot of it. I'm so busy I don't have time to flash over the rom again and check it out. Prob won't have time til tomorrow.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whomafia:
getting force close when opening people widget...also I cant sync my google contacts phone says I have no active network but im connected to wifi ???
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sippi4x4man:
I haven't experienced the force close while using the people widget. I can tell you that this afternoon my data connection went out for a little while and then started bouncing back between 3g and 1x (this happens to me at least 2 or 3 times a month, even before I had a smart phone.) When I was at home earlier I was connected to my cable one 5mbs wireless network and I was still getting errors. All is working right now though.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
@sippiman and whomafia:

I have experianced the 3g to 1x (and sometimes 2x) issue, and that happened to me before I rooted, but service should work fine as long as your in a decent area, and it didn't work online when you connected to wifi? just to check I tried mine out and it worked fine. I would re-download the rom (make sure you have the beta4 I put out yesterday) and then completely wipe and re-flash.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whomafia:
Will do...I'll keep ya posted on the results
[Hero CDMA Android Development] leadfoot9281:
finally got around to flashing, but i cant get it to work for some reason.... i get the splash screen for a few minutes like normal then when it goes to what is supposed to be boot screen images it stays black. tried re-wiping and re-flashing but didnt work second go around either. any ideas?

....EDIT: well maybe it will work lol...... just dont have boot animations for some reason.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] electrikjesus:
got the same thing. Just waited and it eventually loaded.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] leadfoot9281:
Hex i gotta say..... nice on this one. seems alot faster than 1.5.

Btw: im getting Fc's in market while downloading. does it in un-themed and themed. last one i was downloading Battstatt.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
Thank you! on the boot screen... umm... yeah... Well I just threw that in there, but I think it's not working cause it could be for another phone? :X

Oh well.... I'll put another boot screen in beta-5. For now, just flash whatever boot screen you want.

Just go here, download one, rename to bootanimation.zip and do this:

adb push bootanimation system/media

That will get er goin.

Check this page out

http://droidboots.com/downloads/boot-animations/

There are a ton of boot animations (though kinda hard to find ones that are the right resolution but any of those will work)

Still trying to get my own custom one made...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hero32:
Hey first off thanks guys awesome job. On the update just wanted to say I am up and running but there was no boot screen and I had to take the theme off cause the market was unstable it wouldn't let me download nothing so I took it apart and minjamorphed it and it looks great and its fast so thanks guys greatwork

hero32
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
@ hero32 - not sure why the market wasn't reliable.. I know that when I tried go setup speed dial on the dialer after i flashed the theme, that it would crash but leadfoot wasn't done with the theme so I figured it had something to do with that. I have yet to flash the newest version so I don't know(of the theme that is).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] leadfoot9281:
Wasn't aware of the speed dial thing as I never use it. Will look into it over the weekend.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dfc849:
I'm having problems with MMS, but not on CS. I'm an Illinois Valley Cellular subscriber, and when I use ##3282 or my own XML, my MMS feature doesn't work. I'm using the latest (Beta-4) ROM, and even tried a few different CS/ACG ROMs - none will give me MMS. It gives me "Service Denied." I rooted with 2.1, because that's what my unit shipped with. If I use a Sprint-based ROM (e.g., Fresh) my MMS will work. RUU (stock ROM) doesn't even fix it.

I have searched high and low for a solution, please help :(:(

EDIT: If I use any other MMSC, the error returned is "General Network Failure."
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hero32:
yea im not sure y its crashing i made a few things a little diffrent like the stock rosie i made blue carbon fibre buttons and transparent taskbar and all blue carbon fibre taskbar and pull downs and transparent lock screen i would love to learn how to cook a rom or zip a theme well great job guys keep up the great work
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
Must be a sprint based service (or using a lot of the same variables as sprint) but they may have some kind of extra encryption going on.. Honestly not 100% sure what to tell you on that one, but let me ask do you know anyone else on the same network with a hero? If so do the ##3282# on theirs and copy ALL of their info, and make yours mirror theirs. Also do you have visual voice mail on your carrier? If so then you will HAVE to set that up on whatever rom your on if not on a sprint rom so it will work. I believe zen's roms come with that separate with instructions on how to install it on his roms, and it should work the same with this one.

Also you need to look at the build.prop file on your phone. On there it will say somewhere (I believe) which xml file it uses by default. CS's rom/my rom uses UTSI_005.xml (but strangely if I watch my logcat, it says that it's not available and using default xml settings) Unfortunately I don't really know much about that section, so I really don't know what else to suggest, but I would see about contacting one of the veterans around here such as zenulator or the makers of the cyanogen roms.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dfc849:
Hex:

IV Cellular does sell the Hero on their network (most of their smartphones are actually reprogrammed CS units), and I've made note of every EPST setting including data profiles. We don't use Visual VM, so when I use a Sprint ROM, I usually push a stock Phone.apk. I looked at someone else's and it had identical stock software and settings that mine had. Since I'm getting different errors, I might have IVC's tech crew give me SMS/MMS logs for my line. I know it's a user-end issue.

Could another ROM have permanently changed some parameters, in which a Data/Dalvik wipe would not affect? My build.prop doesn't include any XML references, just phone stats. I'll try alogcat and keep looking on some other forums for now. Thanks for your quick response and awesome ROMs!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
The only thing I could think of that wouldn't be wiped would be either you radio which wouldn't have anything to do with it or your prl. Hopefully not the prl cause I know Alaska digitel users gad this problem with cs roms and to my knowledge there has yet to be a resolution.however they also experience roaming/no phone signal or data if they update to a cs prl so not sure if it would be the same issue.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hero32:
hey

not sure what one is doing it but i just flashed the batt tweak and the new kernal and my phone is freezing up at the home page so i rebooted 3 times so im nand backing up and going to flash one at a time i will see what one is doing it let you know later unless you already heard
[Hero CDMA Android Development] leadfoot9281:
Hey, on a random funny note cellular south just announced they was just informed there is a lag when making phone calls are they are working on a solution...lmfao.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hero32:
ok guys its both not sure y any help would be great thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
@hero32 - I think I know why, and I'll also tell you why I have found you don't need it. I don't think it's compatible with the kernel, but that's because the kernel has something built in that is similar to the battery tweak (and possibly works even better) Check with the documentation on the brainfuct kernel for more info on that, and also I will be updating the 2nd post with howto's for changing the kernel settings. My bad...

Also if anyone wants to know, I can now run my hero for two days straight with regular use with no charge. Before with the Vuv'd kernel and battery tweak I might get a day and a half but that's about it.

@leadfoot9281 - LOL! Yeah that about figures... CS is so far behind us it's rediculous. I wonder if they would give me a job??? :) hmm.. Well. This thread could be my resume! :P
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hero32:
Lmao yea they need to hire both of yall I hate to ask all these questions but I was being nosy and checking my memory last night I.had 153 now I have 69 is there a leak or has anybody noticed I have nothing installed dunno what's up I'm checking to see if I can find it and thanks for the response guys

hero32
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hero32:
Well I did the a2sd swap again and I got up to 91 I don't understand were it went

hero32
[Hero CDMA Android Development] leadfoot9281:
I havent noticed one I personalty never use a task killer unless I am having a problem closing a app. All I do is a reboot everyday. Is it lagging out? I'm not real savvy with Linux but from what I gather it not like windows, it replaces memory as it needs it so in theroy it don't matter if you have 100 free or 25.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hero32:
Itch now I'm down to 71 any ideas

hero32
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
Unfortunitely I don't know myself.. I just looked at mine (when I first flashed it said I had 158mb (well free + 30mb swap partition). Now I'm down to 58mb and I don't even have that much on my phone?! I will see what it could be.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hero32:
ok

ok buddy thanks for all the help
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hero32:
haha

well i went back to the 1.5 and flashed the theme and market and everything is running smooth did the batt tweak its doing good got 149 on memory this 1.5 is going to be hard to beat its smoking i have 3 hero's running it and nobody can touch it im running faster then my buddy's 3g i phone hes going with cc after the hero well thanks guys i will flash a little later im glad the theme is compatible though it looks good
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
Yeah. I realize now that it's going to be hard to beat the 1.5. I am still not happy with the way this one is going. BUT I think it must have something to do with how a2sd works. I am looking into it now.

When I started it said 158mb. Oh wait! lemme check the cache!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
GOT IT!

The only thing I could think of is if the phone bypasses a2sd when you apply a theme, but just go into the terminal and type a2sd repair, and it will rebuild the dalvik cache to the sdcard. Afterwards I now have 126mb of free space on the phone. Don't know why it's still JUST 126mb but a hell of a lot better than it was. I'll keep you posted if I find anything else.

Also I wanted to go ahead and inform everyone that if you want to use collin_ph battery tweak, you have to flash the version here:http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9992367/BatteryTweak-DecaMOD.zip

AND I have updated the 2nd post in this thread on how to use kernel parameters you can set in terminal, and A2SD config for this version of A2SD.

Since I fixed the A2SD, my phone is now smokin' again! Definitely do that a2sd repair in terminal to fix yourself back up!

Also I went ahead and set the kernel governor to interactive mode, but I think it's automatically set to that. YMMV I would guess.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hero32:
AWESOME THANKS greatwork
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jeepman007:
I just repartitioned my SD, installed everything, did the A2Sd fix and just tried to install Theme. Metamorph is saying my /system folder doesn't have enough room. How can I clean/correct this issue?

I also tried to install a boot animation as described, placed the file renamed to bootanimation in the tools folder but ADB gives a stat: file not found. The device is mounting and I verified it was seeing it.

Thanks for the help.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] leadfoot9281:
Make sure SD card isn't mounted. If not then uninstall metamorph and reinstall. I had that problem often til I got the pro version.

As for boot animation I'm not entirely sure since I haven't done that yet.

Oh and I can't recall exactly but you need a little bit of free memory so maybe you don't have enough.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jeepman007:
Using the original update I had no issue with Metamorph. Due to all the FC'ing I decided to repartition my SD and install everything clean. After I posted the first problem, I started over again. This time I applied everything 1 step at a time. I am showing 149mb available. I installed Metamorph from the market the first time, then uninstalled and installed from the theme.zip. Got the same error.

I didn't have the SD mounted. Aside from being mounted on the phone OS. I am not sure how to uninstall, although I am going to lookup the adb commands to do it as the option isn't available under the application manager.

As for the free memory, are you meaning the phone mem or the SD? 149/3.45Gb free.

I also have been looking through the forums and there are others with same issue, no luck finding a fix there.

Thanks for the help.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] leadfoot9281:
Yea I seen a few having that problem and beginning to wonder if it's just luck of the draw lol. I just know after. I got the pro version it never happened again. They are different versions so maybe its somthing there.
