[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
I don't understand that because thats the whole reason why I didn't include the terminal in this update, but I wanted to ask, did you push the apk first and it fc'd or did you download it from the Market first, and if you pushed the apk first did you remove it before downloading it from the Market? I am wondering if it has something to do with a permission issue (shouldn't be but have not had a chance to check). If you did push the AndroidTerminal.apk (or the other terminal apk) and did not remove it, first go into adb shell and type 'rm system/app/AndroidTerminal.apk' to remove, then try again from the market.

One of the main things I want to do with the next major update (which at this point will be a while. Probably around 2 to 3 weeks) is to incorporate automatically copying some files to the sdcard upon flashing. This is a complete learning experience from the ground up so everything I am doing here is new. With that said I very much appreciate the video, and I also liked the solidworks model videos as well. Ultimately what I want this rom to be (preferably within the next 3 major revisions) is a non-kitchen made rom with custom tweaks for cs users as well as patching stuff in for other non-sprint customers to branch it out a little, ultimately with a few custom programs for the rom, but that is looking way too far down the road at this time. I ultimately would like to become an android app/game dev, but at this point I just don't know if it would put food on the table ya know?

As far as the command prompt being foreign, when I get some more time I would like to make a few how-to videos and post on youtube for folks that are not very linux savvy. I know how intimidating it can be but never forget life is about learning new things and linux is a great free tool for many applications (and most things you learn about the linux shell is directly applyable to android)

That is very strange that it boot looped. This time around I swapped memory cards to a complete fat32 card to ensure this would not happen. Glad to hear it worked though. Must have been another bad download :/

I think I am going to get the crc of the rom and post a how to to check it so you know if it downloaded properly or not. This seems to be a too often re-occuring issue.

Also speaking of youtube videos, it reminded me of my Arduino. For anyone who would be interested, the Arduino platform is an open source hardware platform you can use for anything from making a simple blinking light to a complete automation platform with lcd menus. And even full video game platforms (close to nes power). This video was supposed to be part of a series of videos I was going to try to video-podcast once a month (however my funds ran dry so I wasn't able to buy stuff to make future projects with) But anyways, here's a cheers to one weird video I made of a very simplistic POV display (pov stands for persistence of vision). Also just to let you know, people can easily utilize the android platform to add-on or even remotely control an arduino enabled device (of course with the proper add-on equiptment) check it out. : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mTVwmhSOFc - Ghetto Arduino Hacks #1 - POV Display.
