the 6.1.0 stable ones are named *_6.1.0_Stable.zip instead of *_09DEC.zip.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] andythegreenguy:
I am so used to having the links in the OP, I didn't even go to mediafire. My bad, I got the links now... downloading it. :o

Thanks JayBob and everyone involved (directly or indirectly) in bringing us these awesome ROMs.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] youdug:
Duce i read if u change the governer to ondemand or performance and change the min to atleast 480 itll fix it but my keyboard started laggin when i changed the gov so i changed it back to interactive and kept the min at 245. It didnt reboot yesterday n i streamed pandora on high quality for almost 3 hours.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaybob413:
I meant the main MediaFire folder listed above the current version. In any event, I have updated the links to point to the individual versions.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] andythegreenguy:
Thanks a bunch!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] erictyler11:
Will there be a permenant fix to the signal bar issue? Instead of morphing it everytime? Also my wifi has not operated correctly since the nov. It connects and disconnects at my place but at work it connects right away and stays on. Y? I erased the file and reloaded it. Same deal. ....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cordell12:
WoW! Where have I been :o Another Update, Thanks!!! Downloaded and installed BlackMod, I have been running BlkMod or Extremely Blue since I rooted and realized Fresh was almost as slow as stock (only took a few days LOL).

Thanks Again Jaybob!

Is it possible to merge and alter the core apps. Ie- eliminate the default browserfrom the phone for a speedier opera browser?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
yes, you can uninstall system apps thru titanium backup, and use whatever browser you want. There is a way to make user apps system apps thru root explorer, but I haven't done it, have lots of free space without moving stuff, anybody here know how to push apps to system (adb or root explorer)?

Display Color's Effect on Battery

I downloaded & installed jaybob's RedGlass a week or so ago and absolutely love it! :p (gonna flash the newest version right after posting this!) Red & black has always been my favorite color combo... so, it was a natural fit. Now, I'm just looking to experiment a bit - thinking about trying the BlackMod & Extremely Blue versions of the ROM after asking the following:

I'm pretty happy with my battery's performance, but like most of us, would like to try to squeeze a little more from it! I've seen it written in different threads that some people believe darker colors use less battery to display.

Would anyone care to "weigh in" and give their opinion on the subject? :confused:

Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
thats true for amoled screens, which when black actually turn off those pixels (amoled is individually pixelated), our screens output the same light regardless of color. use the tweak, turn screen to auto brightness, that should help some.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tps70:
Ok, makes sense to me. I updated to the latest RedGlass version (6.1.0). Is it possible that it's actually snappier, or is it just me?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Nilxchaos:
So the 12/8 release isn't a nightly?

mounting sd to view on tower?

Ok, before anybody tries flaming me, i did read about 150 pages of posts, searched for every string of usb and charge i could think of, but to no avail. All i can find is ti automatically goes to charge only on cm6. I jsut got the dec 05 extblue, and am looking for the way to enable access to my sd from my computer, i used to use freshrom 2.4.0, and it automatically asked everytime, but now i cant find the option to mount as a drive anywhere!!!!! can anybody point me in the right direction????
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hotaru:
when you plug it in, a "USB connected" notification shows up under "Ongoing". tap on that and you should be able to figure it out from there.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] brilamb2:
cool thabnks, that was all i needed....... for some reason i never even looked at the n bar as i plugged it in..... feel kinda like a noob...lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] andythegreenguy:
No, it's the stable - based off CM 6.1.0 stable.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaybob413:
Just a technicality, but based off the CM 6.1.0 Stable sources from the CyanogenMod github repositories; so the same source code, but compiled/built independently. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] spearoid:
Okay, I've read a ton about battery life, kernels, githubs, and gestapos. I'm thoroughly unsure of anything. A few weeks ago I flashed the Nov 21st build Of BlackMod. I then flashed the UncappedKernel-Stable-691 on Impaler's suggestion and I installed the radio update. My phone was rocking and battery life was great.

I thought I read that whatever is in this latest Dec. 8th build is optimal for battery life....but I just flashed it a few hours ago on top of my existing settings.......and my battery went from 62 percent to 5 in about 3.5 hours.

So, can someone explain this?

Also, can I flash the uncapped kernel I referred to above without having to reinstall everything?

And if I can, should I?

Do I need to do the radio update again?

thanks for your help
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PhatboyNYC:
Hmm so I installed the Red Glass rom with no problems but after installing the gapps.zip, it says "Problem loading widget" on my home screen now with no clock. Anyone have any idea what's wrong?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] c00ller:
You can, but I wouldn't. There is really no point, since these builds integrate newer versions of the same kernel. You can see the latest commits here, which are dated much more recently than the latest standalone, which is dated 11/18.

No, the radio version is independent of flashing ROMs.

Regarding your battery issues, I would check Spare Parts > Battery history > Other usage and Partial wake usage. See if anything is taking up a lot. Under "Other usage," what is your Running %? Mine stays around 10 +/- 3% depending on my usage.

Also I highly recommend flashing BatteryTweak-DecaMODv2.2 found at the bottom of the 2nd post of the UncappedKernel thread.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] brilamb2:
OC?

anybody recommend a free overclocking app or mod to run along w/this ROM? flashed hundreds of roms and updates, and this is by far the best ive cam across.... just havent ever used OC, if anybody can give me a pointer i appreciate it
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mattynealo:
I second your issue. I am loosing almost 14% per hour. Since Install DEC8th.

I lost 4% in 30 minutes with my phone unplugged from the charger nothing else.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] misfit0313:
The second post of Decad3nce's kernel thread contains a modified version of collin_ph's battery tweak. The battery tweak has oc options.

Also, if you search xda there is a version of setcpu, free for xda members.

There are plenty of directions in collin_ph's battery tweak thread on how to use his mod and how to overclock. Just remember this rom is already oc'd to 691, and some herocs can't oc past that point. So if you want to go faster there is a bit of trial and error involved.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] trindy:
I tried this yesterday. It didn't work. But thank you :)

I searched the forums before posting anything at all about this. It seems there are some people suggesting that the problem comes from the screen timeout but my screen stays on when anything is running. I've also seen that it could be something about the kernal scaling to 170. I don't even know what that means.

I think my son bought me an Evo for Christmas so I guess this wont be a problem for much longer
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chris.ana25:
my htc hero stuck on "touch android to begin"

i installed cm6 and everything was fine, then i installed google gapps, now when i turn on my phone, it starts up normally and after it finishes boot it gets stuck on ""TOUCH ANDROID TO BEGIN"" i don't know what to do i already ran out of options, has this happened to anybody before, can any one help me, please :confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
The 170 is the min, I guess I should have said I also set my min cpu to 245, using decas batt tweak, that would also help.

sent from my hero, which no longer sucks ass
[Hero CDMA Android Development] misfit0313:
What u need to do is follow the directions and touch Andy's round, green belly. Trust me, he wont complain.

Every time there is a fresh rom install he'll show his naked self and ask for basic set up info.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chris.ana25:
..............
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chris.ana25:
i already tried that like 100 times, i touch it but nothing happens
[Hero CDMA Android Development] misfit0313:
Your best bet would be to unplug your phone, pull your battery and reboot. It sounds as if your phone froze up. Upon reboot try and follow the directions.

If everything is still ****ed up wipe everything, reflash the rom and gapps. Everything is better if its wiped clean.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chris.ana25:
why is it that i downloaded the cm6 at the beginning in this tread and im in recovery, i erased everything, and i try to apply purpleglass and it says this,

opening purple....

installing purple....

then it goes back to the main screen, it dosnt say finished or anyrthing
[Hero CDMA Android Development] spearoid:
Thank you very much. Other Usage shows me four items....Running, Screen On, Wifi On, Wifi Running. All four are red with 100 % showing. I have no idea what that means, this is the first time I've ever gone here before. The second drop-down field is "Since last unplugged"

In the meantime I will install the battery tweak. Still seems odd to me that this happened only after flashing Dec 8th. Things were beautiful before that.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mattynealo:
So I installed Deca's BatteryTweak. I am still losing battery quickly. My Battery usage shows display at 40% everything else is under 10%.

Does anyone have any idea's on what to do get the display to use less battery?

Thanks,

matt
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Huh? You say your battery is loose?

Oh I get it now. Uhm. screen will always use the most battery. So, how old is your battery? That is important to know. Also, did you buy it (the phone) used?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mattynealo:
Opps I hit an extra o:

Sorry for the confusion
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Nah, I read it too fast lol. I would have (and did) figured out what you meant.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaybob413:
Not sure why you are having this issue. My battery life remains excellent.

Anyway, you could try going back to the 25NOV kernel build (attached) and see if that makes a difference.

I would also consider wiping cache for good measure, if you haven't already.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] trindy:
I think I'm afraid to change anything in there :confused:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
it's easy and you won't mess anything up. once you have the tweak go to terminal emulator type: "su" enter. "batt-cfg" enter, "3" enter, you can leave most alone if you want, but my settings are: 1,interactive,deadline,245-729,245-729,352-729,60,15,15,15. Works well for me.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] trindy:
Do I actually type the word interactive and deadline? or are there numbers for those choices?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
yes type, or if they are already set you just press enter to skip it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] trindy:
I think I did it! :D Nothing is on fire yet anyway lol. You've been so helpful, can I take advantage and ask one more question? Is this something that I will have to redo each time I upgrade my rom or will those settings stick until I do a data wipe?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] AjaxBU:
Just updated to the stable release. Great work, keep it up. Any news on what may be in store for the next?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] misfit0313:
Does anybody know the color code for purple glass?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] shirleeey:
After wiping everything, installing the newest stable version and the gapps, the phone is just hanging on the initial white HTC boot screen. This never happened with the other versions in my experience. Am I doing something wrong?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mattrva:
Tried to upgrade from 0.9.7.

Did a NAND and a full wipe and I flashed CM6.1 black and keep getting stuck on the boot screen.

I did the same thing by fully wiping and flashed Fresh which loaded fine as well as a nandroid restore of CM6.0.

Any ideas?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
I'm not 100% sure, but I think so, because the rom overwrites the kernel, so I think you will have to redo it, I honestly can't remember if I had to....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
That happened to me too, who knows why, but after I redid the whole process the second or third time it worked fine, just give it another shot, wipe cache/dalvik cache, flash rom, gapps reboot. Hope it works for you guys too.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaybob413:
I used a layer colored #9100d9 for the most part to colorize existing .png files from RedGlass.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mattrva:
Honestly, I tried a good 4 times. Enough to where it drained my battery from 50 to 6. A few hours of playing with it and it's dead. Haha. But when I get home I'm going to download via my PC instead of over 3G. Who knows, maybe I got an incomplete zip for some reason. But I'm gonna try to load the ROM zip on my SD, factory reset, wipe cache/dalvik cache, flash rom, gapps reboot and cross my fingers. Thanks for the reply.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] xDragod:
Hey, for everyone using Blackmod or CM6.1 with a dark taskbar:

I edited the Mms.apk and gave it white notification icon. Makes it a lot easier to see when you get texts. :) It's flashable through androidcommander or adb push and I've provided the 25x25 .png files for anyone who wants to put it into another Mms app.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaybob413:
Currently testing the rotary lockscreen. Not yet merged, but the commits are available for cherry-picking, so I am trying it out.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] xDragod:
Jaybob, Cyanogen said CM6.1 will likely be the final version of CM for phones with crappy GPUs, i.e. our Heros... If Darch is unable/unwilling to try it, are you going to work on getting CM7+ on our Heros?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] neonjam:
Rotary lockscreen is literally the only thing I miss from Sense builds anymore.

Please implement this again! :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gigermunit:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] xDragod:
What do you mean? Are you talking about my launcher background?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hotaru:
if no one else does, and if i don't find an acceptable phone to upgrade to, i'll try to get it working... looks like if i do upgrade it'll probably be to lg optimus s (seems like it'll have a good chance of getting cm7, available through sprint, no bogus 4g fee), or htc desire cdma or incredible (either would take some doing to get onto sprint and i'd have to pay full price, but armv7 would be nice...).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] twcrosno:
You go jaybob!! The rotary lock screen sounds sweet!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dhadlock:
UPDATE:

Ihave now tried everything from, reinstalling a working backup I had of blackmod as well as, install the latest version of purpleglass. Everything seems fine, except i cannot receive sms. I can send sms and I can make phone calls and I can receive phone calls, but I can't receive texts ?!?!? Please anybody that can help let me know.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] xDragod:

This may seem weird but, did you delete the stock app because you use chomp or handcent? If so, that does disable incoming sms and not outgoing....

[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaybob413:
As long as I am using the phone I will try to help keep up to date with ongoing releases. We'll see what happens when the 2.3 source drops.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gigermunit:
Your notification bar. My color sadly doesn't match with the icons.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaybob413:
Sounds like it might be an APN configuration issue. Do you have an apns-conf.xml and a telephony.db file you can pull from a nandroid that works? Replacing those might help get things going, although I have seen several people struggle with AllTel connectivity.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] xDragod:
What are you using? I wouldn't mind creating custom Mms.apk files for each version of these, maybe...

Jaybob, would that be something you could possibly include in future iterations of these ROMs? I could probably get the default smiley icon working pretty easily. All I'd need is the color code of what you use for each theme.

EDIT: Spent the last hour recreating the stock SMS Smiley icon in high-res. Well worth it, imo, considering the background can be colored to match each theme and downsized for either HDPI or MDPI. :)

What do people think? Jaybob?

The large one is only 250x250. I have up to 844x844. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gigermunit:
like my download icon, ringer mode and signal icons backgrounds don't match with blackmod, yours does, was wondering how you got it too.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] xDragod:
Mine are just white. It's default icons from BlackMod 12-8. Those icons are located in framework-res.apk

The icons I edited for SMS/MMS are located in Mms.apk.

If you're on the latest BlackMod, you should have the exact same icons I have.

Maybe provide a picture what you're talking about? Are you on the 12-8 BlackMod?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaybob413:
No issue with creating separate Mms.apk files, or with updating the overlay theme to include them at build time. The biggest issue may be how to get consensus on a change. Also how best to modify the drawables, as there are so many possibilities. Obviously the current black on black (image 1) is not the best; a simple color inversion of that file to kind of white on black (image 2) is really easy, and would work for all versions; the next two versions (images 3 and 4) are a possibility for Red, and a similar approach would work for Purple and Blue; the last one (image 5) is what was in the original hdpi RedGlass theme. I put them all on top of the statusbar_background image to show them in context.

My current thought would be to go with number 2, as it is simple and works for all. I personally use Handcent for SMS/MMS, so it is not much of an issue for me, as those notifications aren't used on my phone.

There are a number of additional modified drawables for stock apps that I have not yet ported due to lack of time. Maybe over the holidays I will find the time to get some of these resized and the 9patch chunks fixed.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] xDragod:
Hm. Okay... I just created PSD files that I can use to resize to what I need... Were the originals the weird 9patch ones?

Would you like PSD?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaybob413:
No the originals on these drawables were all normal .png files.

The PSD file would be great. I will update the overlays for the next build. Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] xDragod:
MMS Smiley.psd

Lemme know what you change. Would be interesting to see what you do for myself.

There are extra layers on it. You'll be able to see what I used as guides and such. The shape that is just the bubble without the little triangle is used to vertically center the text in the bubble.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] xDragod:
I dunno about you guys, but I think this looks good. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] c00ller:
I agree, that looks real good! I would use it for sure if I wasn't using Handcent. But atm I can't find a better popup app than SMS Popup, so I have to rely on Handcent's...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] c00ller:
Question, does anyone know where or how I can "officially" send a feature request for CyanogenMod?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] JeffW8:
That would be great :) but I wouldn't blame you if you decided to move in to bigger and better things...

Sent from my HTC Hero via the XDA app.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] JeffW8:
Actually, I didn't realize I stopped receiving texts until my wife said something today. I had installed Handcent and turned off notifications for the normal sms. That worked ok until I flashed the stable Ext Blue version. All I did was uninstall Handcent and it worked again (and of course I had to turn notifications back on).

Since it was so easy to test (by sending an email to myphone#@messaging.sprintpcs.com), I think I will reinstall Handcent and test this some more, and post if I find anything else.

Thanks for the Handcent tip, il Duce!

I'm running the 10/12 Blackmod because every time I update, it always ends up freezing or crashing LauncherPro. But lately, I've found that I've been unable to receive texts until hours, even days, after they're originally sent. I've tried restarting my phone randomly, or turning on and off airplane mode, but nothing seems to work. I'm using Handcent. Has anyone else encountered something similar?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] KBizzle:
I've seen others mention something to this affect. The only thing I can suggest is starting from scratch. Wipe everything and completely clean your sd card by reformatting it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaybob413:
No promises, but I would try the following:

Backup SMS/MMS messages (Just in case)

Clear Data from Handcent and Messaging (Manage Applications)

Uninstall Handcent

Reboot to Recovery

Wipe Cache

Reboot system

Test with stock messaging

Install and test Handcent

Restore SMS/MMS messages (If necessary)

Keep in mind that this will wipe out your application configuration info, so if you have made changes, you will need to re-enter them. Your messages SHOULD remain as clearing the application data does not modify the mmssms.db database file in the /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases directory.

In general, if you are having FC issues after updating, wipe cache should be one of your first thoughts.

I'm using the vanilla version. It's like an enhanced stock rom. It's beautiful, not all flashy, just simple looking with some surprises. Love the work guys, keep it up!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaybob413:
the "Menu > Settings" selection provides a menu with "Wireless & networks", "Call settings", "CyanogenMod settings", etc. The drawables on the left are black/gray/white in the stock Settings.apk. The change is to use various colored images instead.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] c00ller:
So does that mean for every release, if we want colored icons in Vanilla we should also download the whole BlackMOD version just to extract the Settings.apk? Or can we assume Settings.apk does not change often enough between updates and keep a Settings.apk to repush after each vanilla update? I hope this makes sense.
