I have a HTC Hero from Open Mobile, this ROM works with Open Mobile carrier ??
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kenny.deford:
Works on Panhandle Wireless

I have confirmation this ROM works great for Panhandle Wireless Hero!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] d-shade:
I haven't had a chance to compare the apn from open mobile to the apn in the rom. You can use apn backup & restore and send me the apn xml file so I can compare or you can install the rom and see if your internet and mms work.

Rooted Alltel

I rooted my alltel hero today with success.

Used:

wag3slav3 windows guide but I replaced the hack file with criptix hack file that he posted. I then flashed krome and it worked really well at first.

Problem:

I tried the tether app a second time and it kept giving me an error(which I didn't write down sorry). I then tried to turn on my wireless and it wouldn't enable. So I turned off my phone and turned it back on. At this point it booted with the typical htc screen but followed shortly with a black screen where it stayed. I tried every button and it would make sounds like it was working but no screen. So i took my bat out and left it for a few min and then put it back in and waited. It booted up but very slowly and the os was extremely laggy. It was so slow in fact that the pattern lock wouldn't recognize my pattern unless I moved my finger at a snails pace.

I'm not sure why it is running so slow and for the time being I'm going to flash the nandroid back. Anyways it was fun while it lasted! I really hope these bugs can be worked out:)

Thanks for the good work.

*Update*

As soon as I plug my phone in it is fast and responsive. I am thinking it is the automatic overclocking to battery level setting. My bat was at 60% and when I first flashed it was at 100% and running smoothly.

Is there any way I can disable that feature?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] lohp75:
nwelker, did you do a wipe before flashing krome? If not wipe everything above batt stats and reflash.

Sent from my fresh hero.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nwelker:
Alltel hero

I didn't, I realized this not long after it was running but didn't seem to think it effected anything, I'll go through the process again and wipe it this time. Thanks for letting me know.

*Update*

I wiped everything above bat stats and re-flashed krome. So far so good, I'll sync it and play around with it for the rest of the day. If I have any problems I can't figure out I'll leave a short comment

Thanks!

Krome running well

After wiping my phone it has behaved a lot better and is much faster. Everything has been running smoothly minus one or two apps crashing such as fxcamera, but I was pushing it by running several apps at one time. The phone did get super slow and locked up to which I pulled the bat and restarted. It does take awhile to boot up but since then it has been great.

I downloaded Krome v1.1 the day before 1.2 was uploaded. It is currently installed on my phone and working very well. Does 1.1 have Apps2SD on it or is that new for 1.2?

If it is on 1.1, is it supposed to be automatic as long as my SD card is partitioned? If not, how do I enable it?

Thanks so much for the help!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] d-shade:
Link is fixed sorry about that

a2sd was included in 1.1 and is automatic as long as the partition is there.

nwelker, Were you able to get Wi-Fi to start working after you wiped it and flashed it again? I love the ROM and I'm happy using it but I haven't been able to turn Wi-Fi on at all. I'm not sure if this is Alltel independent since you had the problem and said you're on Alltel and I am too.

mms issues 1.2

nice fast smooth rom...

issues so far...

mms sends fine after pushing apns-conf.xml

however...

recipients can not download file after recieved...

have recieved the 4 errors on different recipient phones

android - transient failure

lg proprietary - unable to download

winmo - generic download failure

don't know what happened or if it's my hero, rom, or a current alltel issue (they are known to have probs at times especially late at night)

will update when I know more...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] d-shade:
Thanks for that info I will have to check that

Hmm a boot screen should be there.. It was a pretty simple one... I will have to take another look... Just incase I moved the wrong folder

also if you want to theme it go right ahead. I don't mind I have been working on a few metamorph theme/mods hopefully I will be able to get a few released this week. Also I am using HTC Android Kitchen. I am using an older one I think 0.83 but will start using 0.86 for the next release.

I haven't had any issues with mms on my carrier, but I check to see if it is something I did.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] halfevildruid:
dont think it's rom related... getting the same results on all roms tonight, even stock... fyi
[Hero CDMA Android Development] d-shade:
thats good news for me.. bad news for you though hopfully they will get that fixed... also can you send me the apn.xml you pushed? I just want to compare the differences and maybe include it into the second post.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] halfevildruid:
here you go this was pulled from the alltel factory stock.

you should be able to just add the entries to your existing apns-conf.xml
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nwelker:
tshine,

The first time I flashed without wiping it did crash and stopped working but since I wiped and re flashed Krome 1.1 it has worked great, I'll do the update tonight:-)

*update

krome_1-2 is fast! mms works nicely and tethering is great.

Instructions

Would someone please post step by step instructions.

How do I get root access?

How do I flash the rom?

Nandroid isnt on my phone?

I am new at this, and it would be nice. I have the SDK and I have went in the command prompts in windows and cd'd into the android tools sdk directory. I just cant seem to get root access. Can someone help!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tshine:
Do I flash an add-on the same way I flashed the ROM (aka change the file name to update and update from zip)?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] lohp75:
Aamarshall, search the forum. If you are v.1.5 lookup navalynts guide. If you are 2.1 then search universal adroot.

Tshine, if an add-on is a signed zip then put it in root, go to recovery,nand backup, and flash from SD. Don't change anything with file.

That's not too bad! The other night when I couldn't d/l your update, I went ahead and cooked a batch with acs ruu for myself and have been running it since, ( used some of your add ons u listed if you don't mind bud) and I get an avg. 3.6 with dips down to 3.1, but amazingly from time to time it'll bump 4.1xx. All I did in kitchen was add every ingredient.

After rebooting I am getting 2.9 now. running widgetlocker, launcher pro with lwp and powerstrip
[Hero CDMA Android Development] lohp75:
Reboot again and try turning it to airplane mode, results may surprise you.

The problem I have with both urs and mine, is I can't use quickboot, root manager or terminal emulator to reboot into recovery or reboot at all. I have to go the stock route to do it. I need to find out if I have or how to gain administrator SU, then I believe it would work.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] HansenHouse:
Could someone please give me a quick how to or link me to a way that I can do this? I just got my alltel Hero two days ago - it's stock. I'd like to flash Krome on it but there's too much info out there on rooting these things and I don't know where to start for sure. I'm probably just freaking out and it's not at as hard as I think but....

I really want facebook and twitter off of this thing, is that possible?

Thanks in advance...

[Hero CDMA Android Development] kenny.deford:
If you are trying to root using a Windows machine, one of the easiest methods I have found is markachee's root method for non-Sprint Hero. One thing he doesn't mention, (this is where I think most people get stuck), is his hack file is a .rar and not a .zip. By default, Windows doesn't have a .rar file extractor, so you have to dl/install one before you can root. I think what people are getting confused about when trying to root is they are putting the entire compressed .rar file in the sdk/tools folder instead of extracting the files from inside the .rar to sdk/tools. Then they wonder why none of the commands work. Here is the link to the root method listed above. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=581869
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kenny.deford:
d-shade, just wandering if you have anything else up your sleeve to cook into this rom, or if/when we might see another update to it? This rom seems to be the most stable one I have tried so far. I added Juice defender and my battery life is working great. there is one thing so far that I haven't found how to change. When my Hero boots, I get the white HTC screen for about 10 seconds. Then the black HERO screen, and the Krome screen. Is there a way to remove the white HTC screen at the beginning?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] d-shade:
I do have a few things that I want try and get into the rom. I haven't had time this past week with school and work to do much. I will do a small update soon but there wont be anything new coming in the next update, it will just update a few things and remove the extra media that was included.

I will check out juice defender to see what it does for me. Since I could use the extra battery life.

As for the white HTC screen I don't think it would be possible to change that.

But I will see if I could find anything.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] d-shade:
I am actually a fan of aosp roms, and I tried CM6 before RC was released and it I liked it even with the bugs and problems it came with. But the aosp roms are generally faster then sense roms from my personal experience.

The only reason why I am not using aosp roms is because I can't figure out how to get mms to work on them.

I have been working furiously to fix mms in aosp roms but just not getting anywhere... have even put requests for help out there in the www but so far to no avail... the work will continue!

Hey d-shade, I have been looking and I did find a way to change the white HTC screen in another post by tehdarkknight. It works just fine with Krome. I had to download ENG-SPL from another post by darchstar. Here are the links.

Im using this rom on an Alltel Hero... as like a moron, I forgot to nandroid my phone before installing a rom... and this was the closest thing to original... Im having issues with wifi as was stated but Im also unable to get Facebook Contacts to sync. It will let me log in, and sync with my contact card, but if I try with one of my contacts, it gives me the error of none found. Weird. Just thought Id let you know.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] d-shade:
Thanks for the heads up I will look into that as well. hopefully I will be able to get everything fix and released soon.

In the mean time you may want to try 1.2.

If you want you can always reflash the phone back to stock using the alltel ruu and then install the recovery again.

I have done this a few times with my phone using my carrier's ruu
[Hero CDMA Android Development] xmln3x:
I would do that.. but I havent really been able to find much regarding the alltel hero and Ive literally had my hero for about 2 weeks. So Im not really sure how to go about doing that let alone where to get the alltel ruu. Im used to the htc system but was a winmo user on a touch pro prior to the hero... So coming over to the android system is roughly about the same as a lifelong pc geek swimming in confusion on a mac. Any help you could give me would be much appreciated.

I do love the rom though, it definitely seems faster, less bloated, and runs alot smoother. I had my phone only a day before 3-4 crashes on the stock rom... and had tons of crashes on the cyanogen mod rom... but this one.. not a single crash. So great work man.. Im looking forward to your work. Thanks.

If I flash Decad3nce's Kernel, can I overclock using SetCPU without issue?

Is there a chance you will rip Sense out of this or give the option like Aolysius did of using ADW instead?

Is there a way to get rid of some of the screens, I'll never use 7, I rarely use more than 3.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] halfevildruid:
I run this at 710 768 ran but more lag so I slowed it down for my alltel hero

u can installadw launcher from market
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kraenesk:
Sorry for asking so many noob questions HED, but I am a noob, so I guess it makes sense. Thank you for all your help and patience, with krome 1.3 I'm getting a workable rom I like, it may not be Froyo like cyanogen, but at least everything I use works.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kraenesk:
Alright I'm pretty happy now, I badly wanted CM6, but Thank you for the base to customize from, I pulled all the htc Sense aspects from it and went with the Black background vanilla lockscreen you posted, I'm using ADW launcher now, and using Decad3nce Uncapped Kernel #9 with SetCPU and conservative 480-768( A lot more than that in Set CPU, but that's the basic setting) And I'm pretty happy with it, I only wish I had a nice boot animation other than a black screen, the one from Aloysius is sweet if I remember, the four colors rushing to the middle to form white in the form of an X. Thanks for helping me get to the point where I was happy with my phone druid, and thanks to OP for the rom. I may be stationed in Alaska next if I'm lucky, then I'll be right on your network. I was in Ketchikan for my last tour before my current one.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] halfevildruid:
You can push bootanimation.zip to data/local.... search xda it's easy.

Alternate is to get boot animation changer trial from market, backup your current boot animation. then copy the animation of your choice into it's folder and restore it...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] halfevildruid:
If it helps this is always my go back to rom for full functionality... all the froyo builds have one issue or another with either mms video playback or video no sound or incorrect file formats... they are all still WIPs... kRomE is a decent alternative for us regionals

Found this in the DamageControl 2.09.0 Thread, and trimmed out the Superuser Permissions update, it may or may not work for everyone, I dont know how to sign things, but I have clockwork recovery set up to accept unsigned Zips, so it solved my problem. I flashed it, disabled my wireless network and turned on wife, connected to my router and put in a wep code, and browsed to a few websites with no issues. Origional patch was written by Darchstar for damagecontrol, so thank you goes out to him for making my day.

This is so far the only ROM i've been able to load for Cellcom(WI) and had everything work out of the box aside from the noted Wifi Issue, I may flash Krome 1.2 tonight and set it up to have wifi until you have the time to work on this build some more. (Damn life for getting in the way of our hobbies.) God I hope I get sent back to AK next, I miss it up there, aside from being somewhat isolated from family I cant name a bad thing about living in AK.

So this rom is essentially the stock Alltel one? Just works for more carriers?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vyv23:
I will try this ROM today, but I got a question, If I installed a different ROM (CYANOGEN 6.1) and use your APN UPDATE that you have, would that even work?

HTC HERO - AKDigitel/GCI
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vyv23:
So Installed the ROM, it was much smoother than the stock one.

SETCPU app - kept force closing, so I could not use it.

ROM MANAGER - would not function correctly, had to use volume down/power button to recover to my old stock rom which was back up by nandroid

flashed the update for WIFI fix - did not fix the WIFI issue.

apn-cs - MMS is working, but I don't know if it was broken the first place

So, I reinstalled the ROM (CYANOGEN 6.1) and try flashing APN-CS, thinking that it would work, but it did not.

I really need something to get MMS working on CYANOGEN 6.1, if anyone knows how, please help
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Hackmodford:
What carrier do you use?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vyv23:
Alaska Digitel CDMA
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vyv23:
what Kernel is Krome 1.2 using? is it the same as krome 1.3?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] d-shade:
I have never been able to get MMS working on digitel on my hero using CM6.

I also haven't had time to fix the issues in the last release. Work has just been overwhelming. It is on my fairly lengthy todo list.

I haven't had the chance to test it out yet but I was able to get the apn from a milestone on GCI.

You may want to give that a shot.

I know the Sense APN list doesn't work on AOSP roms.

I have tried it. You pretty much have to manually change the info.

That is why I got the APN from a milestone, hoping that will work.

Update:

Well I just restored it to my phone and it didn't seem like it worked. You may have to manually input the mms info.

You can edit your apn info on CM6 by saying "Open APN" in voice dialer. just add the mms server info and the proxy/port/user name stuff.

I haven't tested it by doing it this way. but that may work.

As adding the apn info this way I was able to send mms and recieve mms just that the person receiving my mms would get it from 9701111111 instead of my number. This was with the apn info I took from the stock sense rom. Hopefully the milestone settings will work better?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vyv23:
Yes, thank you for responding, I will try that manual method again but I don't know if I had all the right information which is why I will try again. If it doesn't work, I will load Krome 1.2 and see the benchmark vs the CYANOGEN 6.1. I will let you know my results.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vyv23:
Inputting the GCI-APN by flashing did not work so I did try to manually adding it. I do see that it is coming from 19701111111 (MMS TEXT), so YES, it is now working.

I was doing the same thing at work but I had alot missing information that needed to be there.

Now, I just need to make the SPRINT network go away when I pull down the NOTIFICATION bar but it is nothing important, it is just annoying.

Thanks alot man
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vyv23:
hmm, I just tried sending again MMS CYANOGEN 6.1, but it is now stuck on sending, it has stop sending the MMS. I don't know if i have to keep putting the APN manually just to make it work again, but I am going back to KROME 1.2, I am getting 256 score on benchmark on quadrant - krome 1.2 and I am getting 425 score on Cyanogen 6.1. But kinda pointless to have it since MMS will not be working.

Thank you for the help though
