Still searching for the answer to #1, please.. it has been asked before in this thread (on 11/23) but was never answered.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sportsplayer5959:
i thought this ROM already had it overclocked at 691 mhz but i may be mistaken. other than that i have not messed with the overclock settings...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 24601:
Yes, you can flash without wiping (I just did earlier this week, coming from 6.1.0-RC1). However, nandroid first, just in case. Also, you will need to flash gapps.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] c00ller:
Awesome! I will try this soon.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Psycoboy15:
Is there any screenshots of the different themed versions? and can I just flash any of them over vanilla without wiping first?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] youdug:
Damn no one can answer what the best setting for compcache is?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hotaru:
that depends on what apps you use, and how you use them. so no, no one can answer what the best setting for compcache for you is without a lot more information from you.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sportsplayer5959:
Im new to roms and stuff and i was wondering if this rom is overclocked already at 691 mhz or do i have to download an app from the market and set it myself?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
well, if you search and read you'll find it. here's your answer: the kernel is set to 691 by default. personally i use deca's #43 and his batt tweak (which you can use to overclock to 768), works great!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Craigerade:
I just switched to this rom from sense. Every thing works great except the sprint football app won't work. Does any one else have this problem?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gigermunit:
newest release goes up to 768 as far as i know.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] raz699:
Search for the Verizon one, its way better and they got it working on sprint.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fkngstpd:
I flashed this rom and love it, but on an airplane in a recent trip I was watching movies and noticed something weird. Every movie I try to watch will play perfectly until about the hour and ten minute mark when the video freezes and the audio jumps back to the beginning of the movie with the timestamp.

The files are .mp4s and work fine on my computer and my dads ipad, and I thought worked before on other roms on this phone. But to be honest, I cant remember if I watched the movies that far before.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] brentmel:
does anybody know why my gmail syncs fine as usual but my notifications stopped working? I have already checked the notification settings in the gmail app a hundred times, I think it may be cm6 setting that I changed when I was messing around with all my new options.

edit: All of my other notifications seem to work just fine too, its only gmail that doesn't notify me and I really wish it would.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] papeseed24:
can anyone answer my question please? i updated to Nov 21 and soon 29, and ever since, i have been unable to receive text messages, i can send them just fine, looking for a fix, please help, thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] KBizzle:
Ok, here are the norm questions. Are you sprint? Did you wipe everything before moving to the next rom? Have you had any sexual relations with any wildlife while out of the country?? Ok, maybe that last one isnt a norm question.

If you arent wiping before moving to the next rom, this could be your problem. Somethings just get left behind that will cause strange issues. I know, its a pain in the butt to re set everything back up but if you want to rule out the most obvious conflicts, wipe and try again. Hell, I even repartition my sd card every time I try a new rom, JUST to make sure I have no excuses.

Battery Drain NOV21

Hey guys and gals,

As we speak i'm upgrading to the new NOV28 build and was wondering if anyone has seen any Battery drains. In the last one i could barely go roughly 7 hours without needing to do a complete battery recharge (like it would just die at around 9 percent).

I'm hoping this new build will solve it, but didn't know if anyone has seen any battery improvements.

I'm using it fairly light, texting, some browsing on the net (market, net), and thats pretty much it.

Thanks everyone for your help and input.

Hello, I just rooted my brother in laws hero. Can we just put these on the sd and flash, after wiping of course? Or is there another clockwork we need? Downloaded rom mgr and flashed clockwork recovery, but that's it. As always, thank for devs dedication.:D

I am having problems getting my APS2SD to work with this ROM and was wondering if anyone can help. My titanium back stats that I have the space in my SD Card but my apps never go there...is there something I am doing wrong. All Help is greatly appreciated.

This Rom has the ability automatically with apps that support it. Check application settings and install location and allow application moving. Then put external, or automatic. And some apps u have to move manually in settings / applications
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tps70:
I have some questions that might make sense... or might not. :confused: Just looking for some clarification/help here!

I've only been playing with ROMs for a month. I just restored back to "stock" CM6.0.0 Heroc (had UncappedKernel #43 @768mhz / Deca's BatteryTweak mod) because I want to try something different.

I really like the looks of the RedGlass theme in this thread, so I want to flash it, but am a little cautious. I'm not 100% sure of the process I should follow for the best chance of an error-free flash. If someone could explain the basics (for example: do I wipe EVERYTHING - including the SD card?), or point me to a thread where I can see it myself I would be very appreciative.

Ultimately, I'd like to run CM6.1.0 RC1. Will this work with the RedGlass theme? (like I said, some questions might not make sense! ;) ) Also, I'd like to know what the kernel speed is for the 11/28 RedGlass ROM - is it capped at 691mhz, or can it run at 768mhz?

My last question: Can Deca's UncappedKernels & BatteryTweak be run in conjuction with everything I've mentioned above? Or, are they even necessary?

Thanks in advance for any and all help offered! :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
I'll shoot first:

The themes are baked in. They require you to flash the entire ROM to get the theme. Nandroid, Wipe, flash, win.

I believe 11/28 boots at 691MHz and you can OC at will. It's based on Deca's kernels. BatteryTweak works fine.

Hope I got you covered! Sorry for short responses... if you need more details ask. I'm being sneaky at work right now :cool:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Craigerade:
Thanks, I didn't know they unlocked it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] swakster:
thank you so much for this...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
Listen, if you actually want help, and can't find the answer yourself (wiki.cyanogenmod.com) then don't come on here like the dev's in this amazing community OWE you something. By the way, it's true that there is no right answer about compcache. I have read that it is more beneficial to those who are using a class 6 or higher sd card. The best way to figure this stuff out is to try using the different settings available yourself and decide what works best. The way any of the people and dev's learn on here is by trial and error. So, my advice in the future would be to search, like with google for instance, and then read the things you find, and make your own decisions. Don't come on here and start being a jerkoff, it doesn't help anybody, especially you.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dumsum19:
Ok so this might have already been addressed but ive sorted through a few pages and well theres over 200+ pages...Is there a known issue with the WIFI. every time i try to connect to a WIFI network i get an error message when trying to turn my wireless.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
wifi works fine for me, nand then try a reflash of the rom, no wipe.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dumsum19:
Right right makes sense just didn't know if It was just me or a known issue
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
did it work?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dumsum19:
Been dealing with my kid and haven't had a chance but going to try here in like 20 mins ill let you know
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dumsum19:
no i didnt work heres what i did...

-created a nandroid backup

-changed name from VANILLA_21NOV.zip to update.zip

-then flashed update.zip from sdcard

-still getting error upon activation wifi connection.

I know what i probably should do but dont want to resetup my phone the way i have it. I think I should probably just do a wipe and a reinstall of the rom. Any other ideas before i do this?

Could it be the vanilla rom should i go to the other?

*EDIT* WOW I feel stupid...I just realized that im running the Nov 21 version instead of the Nov 28 version. Gonna switch it over and see how it goes. Probably do the blue rom this time maybe the black...Ill let you know if this fixes my WiFi.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dumsum19:
So i just went to the black mod for the Nov 28 update and my wifi works now. Thanks for the help bro
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
No prob. Weird the vanilla didn't work, but cool that the black works.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] KBizzle:
Have you tried going back to a stock based rom to see if incoming texts work? Or even running a stock RUU and see. If you still can't receive texts, atleast you'll have a rom installed that will allow you to call tech support to see if there is a problem at sprint for your account.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tps70:
Nandroid, wipe, flash, win! :) That's what I did last night with my Hero! Running RedGlass Mod (11/28) & Deca's BatteryTweak now - couldn't be happier with my Hero! It's VERY noticeably faster and looks amazing!

Thanks for the tips! I really appreciate it!

EDIT: I've noticed some people having GPS issues. I tried mine on the way to work this morning & had a lock in seconds. Flawless so far.

The biggest thing I'm watching for is battery drain. With CM6.0.0 I'd easily lose 10%+ in 15 minutes with the screen on dim (just reading tweets using Seesmic & maybe send/receive a text msg or two). Hopefully the updates jaybob did to reduce excessive CPU consumption work!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ahecht:
Whenever I get a text message, I am getting two different notifications as shown in the image below. One has an envelope icon and says "New Message" and the number, the other has the smiley-face dialog bubble and says the number and a preview of the message.

Clicking on both opens the default text messaging app. If I go into the app and disable notifications, I only get the first notification (the one with the envelope), but I would much prefer to get only the second (with the preview of the text). How can I disable the first notification? I don't have anything like Handcent installed.

You will need to copy and paste the link because I don't have enough posts yet.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
If you are having issues turning on your WiFi, make sure you download the ROM you want again. There was a time when OP leftout the wireless module (wlan.ko I think) and he fixed it soon afterwards and fixed the download as well.

If you are technical, you could check in /system/lib/modules/ and see if you have wlan.ko there on your phone. You should be able to check with most filemanagers. You might need one that can get root privs. I used Root Explorer (its not free on the market)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] geehova:
Ok I ran the gapps.zip after installing the rom now when the phone boots I keep getting a force close on the setup wizard and can't go any further. Anyone else ever experience this?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] myssdion:
Thanks

It took me a while to figure this stuff out but I got it. I have fell in love with my phone all over again I have the blackmod on my HTC hero rooted. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] papeseed24:
alright, i'll give it a shot, just a little dissapointed i might have to give up this rom.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] KBizzle:
Doesnt necessarily mean you have to give up the rom but this could narrow down if it is a rom issue or another problem.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] geehova:
Never mind the last post. Did a wipe and that fixed the issue. I'm coming from Fresh 2.4 so please excuse me! Nice work.

battery tweaks

Alright, really dumb question here, but I searched for quite awhile looking for Deca's battery tweak. I decided to go with Collins instead (or are they the same thing) and I am running deca's stable #43 and my phone is really snappy and the battery is still at 50% and it has been 23 hours since my last charge even with getting sometimes spotty service and light to moderate usage. Questions are, is Deca's battery fix the same as Collins? If not, will I get even better battery life with Deca's? If so, where the heck do I get it?

Thanks and I apologize if I am missing something really obvious, it tends to happen as I get older :cool:

EDIT: Forgot to mention, I am running the Nov16 build and flashed the newest radio as well and everything works outstanding. Screw HTC Sense!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Deca's is based of Collins, with some supposed tweaks. You can find it on his kernel thread, near the bottom of the first (or 2nd?) post.

I can't answer the other parts of your question(s). :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
The deca tweak is in his kernel thread, second post I believe. Its actually based on collins, deca just tweaked it to work better with his kernels. also I would recommend going to the newest builds of this rom posted on nov28, there are some awesome new features.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] tps70:
I posted earlier about just getting jaybob's RedGlass ROM (11/28 version) running flawlessly. It still is - no problem there. :p

I'm wondering.... :confused:

I don't use the built-in (I believe it's "stock" Android) News and Weather program/widget, but it keeps auto-starting & it's annoying the crap out of me! I've read posts in some other threads about manually removing certain .apk's and wonder if I can do that to solve this problem?

I'd been exposed to Linux shell commands during a class I took in tech school, but that was 8 years ago! So, if this can be done, and someone can list the commands I need to type, I can probably go into Terminal Emulator and take care of business! (AFTER a Nandroid backup, of course! ;) )

So, can the News & Weather program/widget be removed from this ROM without affecting anything else?

Thanks in advance for any help offered! :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cuezaireekaa:
it's the GenieWidget.apk that you want removed. it is in /system/app.

i use RootExplorer to open the system folder then app folder then remove GenieWidget.apk

...if this is not an option, hopefully someone can explain how to adb remove the file. i forget sometimes. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
Just go into titanium backup/backup & restore/scroll to the app/press it/press uninstall. No need for a nand at all. You can remove other bloat apps this way as well:)

sent from my hero, which no longer sucks ass
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Here it is, incase you or anyone is wondering:

adb shell

# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system [this mounts the filesystem as readable and writeable]

# cd /system/app [this changes the working directory to /system/app]

One of the following:

- To just rename the file incase you want to restore it

# mv GenieWidget.apk GenieWidget.bak [mv means move]

- To delete it

# rm GenieWidget.apk [rm means remove]

# mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system [this mounts the filesystem as read-only, no writing allowed again]

# exit [quits the shell/session/terminal]

Notes: # donates when you are inside adb shell. Do not include with your commands. Also to restore GenieWidget.bak, simply reverse the two in the mv command.

This can be done via terminal emulator also. Skip the 'adb shell' part. Make sure you type su first and hit enter to get root privs. All commands are assumed to be via root.

Another way, if you have /system mounted read-write (rw) already, you can do:

adb shell rm /system/app/GenieWidget.apk

-simple as that. However it should be mounted read-only (ro) by default.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] c00ller:
I usually just use adb remount instead of the mount -o rw,remount...

I know the long way is required to terminal emulator, but at a PC you can use adb remount. But I always wondered if there is a consequence to never mounting it as read-only again. I usually just do adb remount, go about my business, then exit and disconnect my phone.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
ah yea, adb remount ... forgot about that guy :) don't have access to the SDK here at work :mad:

I don't think there is any real danger, but it does open up the possibility for there to be. I just do it out of habit really. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] yanolito:
Too much time booting up

I did the Vanilla, flash it in recovery, right now it's been 34 minutes and still in the robot with skateboard nothing else happen...:mad:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fkngstpd:
does anyone else have this problem? I cant figure out if it is rom related or file related. I dont think it is app related as I get the same result on any app I try.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tps70:
All my Hero needs is a cape!! :cool:

Thanks! It worked for me. :) After removal, I rebooted, used ATK to kill all the apps not on my Ignore List, and ended up with 102mb free memory. :D

One more question (for now!):

I've seen "autokill" or "autokiller" mentioned in a thread or two. Is that the same as ATK with Auto-Kill set to ON?

P.S.

Thanks for Porkrinds for taking the time to post the adb method!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mahalocat:
Autokiller is not ATK -

Autokiller is nice because you can set how strict you want it. Doesn't kill Appes....so much as it prevents them from opening....its nice. IMO
[Hero CDMA Android Development] yanolito:
Can somebody help please?...Thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
Ditto. Also, you no longer need a task killer once you have autokiller, and they don't really work together, cuz autokiller just ends up killing the task killer, lol.

Oh and you can manually kill tasks with autokiller if you want to.

I haven't followed your post chain, but out of curiousity have you tried the "mmsfix.zip" that others have had luck with?

You're referring to AutoKiller Memory Optimizer from the Android Market? If so, I think I'll remove ATK & give it a shot. I'd like to "automate" memory management as much as possible.

Yes. Start fresh and try again. Wipe everything.

Anyone ran into an issue where the phone acts like the SD card has been removed? For some reason this has happened twice to me in the last two days. Only powering the phone completely off and back on fixes it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
I think i just linked it, have it on my comp, but again, I never had problems, so I'm not sure if you flash it from recovery or if you need to unzip and push part of it somewhere, try the search here on xda and google, maybe you'll figure it out.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
yup that's the one, i love it. i set mine to strict and leave it alone.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] spearoid:
Is there a program or tool that allows you to enable/disable gsensor-screen-flipping per application? I had a program like this on my Diamond and it was beautiful.

There are actually very few programs I want to rotate, and as a result I am constantly turning off the auto-rotation feature...only to find when I load a picture to show someone I have to back out of the program to go turn auto-rotate back on. It is a major pain in the butt. The alternative is to leave it on all the time but that is even worse because programs end up trying to auto-rotate all the time, and there are a whole lot of programs I use that I never need to auto-rotate....and oftentimes I find myself waiting for a program to straighten itself back out so I can continue using it.

That was a whole lot of unnecessary venting, but at least I made a decent case for such a tool being created if it doesn't exist already.

By the way, am I the only one who NEVER uses a touch keyboard in landscape mode? I will resist this movement as long as I can. Nothing is better than only needing one hand to text. Illegal text-driving anyone?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hotaru:
you could just add a button to toggle rotation to the notification drop down thing... that's what i do.
