Simply the best

DARCH HERO ALLWAYS

Root-Hack-Mod-Allways™
[Hero CDMA Android Development] raz699:
Did a full wipe to get that new rom smell and it was laggy for me. Beautiful widgets clock always stayed the same time and never changed.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
That sound like an issue with beautiful widgets, not the rom :p
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jomaca9:
Whoa! Thanks!! That should be an "Standard Feature".... It's Time to "Re-Fresh" again!! Sadly!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fehren2800:
Hey all, just wanted to post up a big thanks to all that worked on this mod.

My Hero is so much faster without all the bloat.

I am new to rooting and I am experiencing a few problems.

1. My gallery force closes a lot, and when I can get it to work it bogs down the phone a lot. After I done looking at photos I check my running services and my available memory is down to 13Mb. I reboot the phone and it is back up to speed, but I would like to use the gallery and not have these issues. Is there a fix or work around?

2. I can't get my email to work on the rooted phone. Gmail works perfect and for now I am getting my pop3 account email via gmail, but I would like to keep them separate as one is for personal emails.

Thanks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] teawhy:
I don't see the 3g at the top. I'm on wifi when it doesn't work.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Are you changing just because you can't set up wifi at start? That's only a one time thing, and not even that huge of a deal (at least to me). I would definitely reconsider as this is the best hero rom that there is.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Try it on 3g then, turn off wifi. If it works, then you know that your wifi is the problem.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] teawhy:
Got it all to work thx!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] raz699:
No problem with any other release, nandroid back and works great. Not sure what's up.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] marcusva79:
Impaler its me again, hahaahaha. What were the setting you had going on with setcpu and autokiller, and kernal? Another question if my phone starts laggind down as time goes by what would you prefer?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
I use these settings:

Screen on: 768-691 (if your phone can't handle 768 then do 710- 591 or so)

Screen off: 354-245

Autokiller: Strict

This rom is lightning fast, so I wouldn't expect any slowdowns!!! If you do get major lag, do the top -m 5 from terminal emulator and we'll see what we can do.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kirby Baker:
So I'm running this new release as of this morning. After initial installation, and after the phone re-downloaded all my apps, it rebooted at some point. Not sure why. Since then it seems ok.

I did a complete wipe and clean flash rather than flash on top of my previous nightly (9-8 I think). One thing I noticed was that the full wipe did not wipe everything. For example my custom background stayed, wifi settings, bluetooth settings, etc. I thought a complete wipe would get rid of all this? If I really want to start from a fresh point, do I need to RUU first and re-root, then flash?

I've since installed the 9-14 kernel. Had to do the GPS Status fix to get a lock, and have run fix permissions from ROM Manager. Everything seems to be going well so far, but my linpack score was low (768/691 Interactive in setcpu) as was quadrant (404) vs. the last rom I was on (9-8 with 11 kernel). But maybe I just need to tweak some more!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] marcusva79:
my setcpu can only go 710-595 on and 352-245 off. Should i leave it on ondemand.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
I would leave the governor as on demand, yes.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jomaca9:
@Darkshneider

Thanks for the Option, but i got a New Situation, No settings options because pops this message: (process com.android.settings) Has stopped unexpectedly. Force Close

I even tried to push the command:

am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.settings/.Settings<enter>

But have the same result.

Any other idea?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chinkster:
this is exactly what my problem is too...my phone starts lagging down as time goes by. i will try impalers recommended settings
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Try it and let me know how it goes :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chinkster:
umm everytime i try to select ondemand setcpu force closes?? right now i have it set on menu>device selection>show other frequencies>htc hero/eris/tattoo. impaler please help!

edit: also should check the "set on boot" box?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Open set cpu, hit menu, device selection, and auto detect.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] azr6:
Same with mine. I just noticed mine dipped to only 19 mhz and then setcpu got a force close error and I had to pull the battery.

Never happened before so it was a bit odd.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chinkster:
ok just did that, should i check the "set on boot" box also? i cannot find the screen on and the screen off settings
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Screen on is the main setting, screen off can be set under the profile tab.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
That's why I don't have the min set to 19... I have screen on min set to 691.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chinkster:
when i try to set the MIN to 691200 on the main screen, setcpu force closes? can you please tell me your exact setup? thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ironhorse86:
how did you come to this conclusion?

i am asking because i am working on this bug for the community.

got it half working. it can rotate all degrees without warping the image, back and forth, but only if the image hasnt been fully loaded (meaning the blurry image before the clear fullscreen loads)

openglSE is a pain after working with later versions of opengl..

just curious where you got that info on that being the issue?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
What set cpu version are you running? Your version seems old from the description...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jomaca9:
@Darkshneider

Thanks for the option!

I re-wiped the data & re-wiped the Dalvik, i did the magic 1,2,3,4 trick... and Voilá!

Now I'm playing Cyanogenmod! Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chinkster:
says SetCPU 2.0.3 on the bottom
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Hmm, that's correct. Try uninstalling and reinstalling to try and stop those force closes.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
No problem, let me know if you need anything else.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Well I know that openGL on the hero prevents us from using live wallpapers to their full potential. I also know that the 3d gallery needs openGL to correctly process and produce its images. So since the galley doesn't draw images or process them correctly when the phone is rotated, I would attribute it to an openGL issue somewhere.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] uf20wop:
whenever i try to flash the zip from the 9/18 release it will install correctly but then upon reboot it will hang endlessly on the htc screen

any thought? it's really annoying me :(

btw, this is after a data + dalvik + sd card ext wipe
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Zin0:
I'm having battery troubles. It's draining like 1 % per minute. I flashed the collin ph thing and i didn't see any improvement so i installed set cpu, but i don't know what to set it to. Is that the right program to fix my battery ? If it is then, could someone tell me what to set it to ?

Also, before i found the sprint voicemail zip, i used youmail to be my voicemail service. But now that i'm using the sprint voicemail, my voicemails still go to youmail. I uninstalled it, but all my voicemails still keep going to youmail. How do i make my voicemails go to the sprint voicemail ?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Here's what I would do for set cpu:

Main page: 710-614

Screen off profile (under profile tab): 356-245

Hope this helps, let me know if you need anything else :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Dial *38 and voicemails will be returned to sprint.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chinkster:
I will try uninstalling and reinstalling setcpu
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ironhorse86:
you are correct about this opengl is used to render cooliris, but i guess my question is how did you come into info regarding "issue with opengl and HTC Hero hardware" ? as in where can i find info on this limitation?

from what i can tell so far its just improperly coded to work with it.. not that theres an issue with opengl working with Hero hardware. ? i have plenty of opengl rendering programs/demos i use and also am developing for commercial use. so i guess i was just wondering if your information is traceable
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
All I was trying to say was that just like some LWP don't work well for the hero, the gallery may take some time to figure out since we don't have the fastest hardware. Not impossible, just taking some time due to our limitations :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Zin0:
Thanks. But for my main page on Set cpu, my max only goes to 691. Also for the screen off profile, would that be the sleep/standby ?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Correct, that is sleep/standby. And if the max is 691, that means that you don't have the uncapped kernel flashed, that's all.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ironhorse86:
ahhh. i see what you mean now.

"No." is the answer lol.

its not the fastest hardware, you are very accurate about that.

but that is not a wall that can't be passed. the code just wasn't properly written specifically with Hero hardware in mind. and if it was - its not evident. :-D

i have today off so i'm finally sitting down and just working away on it.

i'll keep you updated
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
Hmm, still unable to download anything off the Market with 3G. Tried clearing the Market cache, rebooting, etc, still nothing. Might reflash Gapps and see if that helps. Wi-fi works fine, but I am not always around a wi-fi signal..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Zin0:
Well, where can i get the uncapped kernel at ?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
Look around the front page of the Development forum. Might be on the second page.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Cool let me know!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
Hey impaler, you have any solutions for my problem? If clearing the Market cache, rebooting into recovery, and reflashing then newest GAPPS doesn't work, I might have to flash back to a "less stable" nightly, since I never had this problem before..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
I would try going into airplane mode, leaving it for a second, and then disabling airplane mode. I know it sounds goofy, but this worked for me when I was having data issues in Fresh 2.0d.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
I have done that before when 3G wouldn't turn on, but in this case, its on, just every single download will hang when it says "Starting". I'll give it a shot though, didn't even think about that. Here's hoping..

Also, Adfree Android installs fine, but once opened, it does NOT do anything at all. Says it's checking to see if hosts file is updated, but... just kind of hangs there until I kill it. Also never had that problem before..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Zin0:
:eek: Do i do the bfs one or the stable on ?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Hmm I just checked my adfree app to see and it does the same thing, odd. Must be an issue with the app itself.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Stable if you want GPS, BFS if you don't care about GPS working and you want more speed.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
Yeah, weird. Like I said, never had that problem with any of the nightlies, along with this Market issue. The Airplane trick didn't work at all, kind of a bummer because I'm not always around a wi-fi network I can connect to. If I leave the download hanging, leave 3G on, and reboot, it will eventually actually download (unless it tries 3 times at once and fails..), but subsequent downloads will do the same thing..

Might go back to 9/18 unless I can get this sorted out. Otherwise this release is great for sure.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Interesting that a reboot triggers the data connection for the market...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
Yeah, it makes no sense to me. I might either wipe and flash again to see if that helps, or just go back to 9/18 since I had none of these problems. Also, Gmail FC'd on me first time I opened it, which I never encountered either. D'oh..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
I think a reflash is in call for unfortunately :( You could try fixing permissions first and seeing if that does anything though.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vetvito:
Usb headphones now work!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
And there's a headphone icon for OCD people like me :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
Oh yikes, since I never have had to fix permissions through ROM Manager, I always just delete it after first boot, heh. I think I'll just reflash this and see how it goes, and if it's still borked, nandroid back to the nightly I was using..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] norm12:
I just was dealing with these market and gapps issues myself. I couldn't download anything from the market and I reflashed the newer gapps package---it didn't help. I still had the 8-14 gapps file so I flashed that and everything was working first time, no issues. Then i just updated maps and whatnot from the market and all is well.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
Are you talking about with 3G? If so, I might just wipe, reflash this or the last nightly I was using, and then 8-14 or 8-16 gapps to see if that helps.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NewYorkLaw:
I see lots of people talking a out the "Collins" fix, and google returned many threads, but I cannot find the actual message which describes the fix. Anyone?

Pete
[Hero CDMA Android Development] celith:
It's not a "fix", it's a "tweak". A battery tweak to be precise. Some have gotten superior speed and battery life with it as opposed to options like Set CPU (with which the tweak doesn't get along). Check the thread for more info.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] RoadBicyclist:
Impaler, I have one of the recent nightlies. I see on the instructions on post 1 to install the new CM without wiping, but I also see a new gapps to download dated 20100917.

Should I install this version of gapps (without wiping also) or leave alone the one I have and just do the CM installation?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NewYorkLaw:
Thanks.

Pete
[Hero CDMA Android Development] paul96:
I did a backup and installed the stable from a nightly.

Ill wipe and see what happens.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
I installed the new gapps without wiping since I hadn't refreshed my gapps in a while. I would nandroid and then flash the newest gapps no wipe.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
Well, did a complete wipe and flashed 9/19 nightly and #14 stable kernel. Upon first boot went into the market to download Astro and/or Handcent, downloads started immediately with 3G on, instead of wi-fi. Odd, but can't complain.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Hey, at least it's working now :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
Exactly! Maybe the stable flash was a bad one, but eh, doesn't hurt to try out alternatives. Wouldn't be a huge deal normally, but the wi-fi at my girlfriend's apartment doesn't make it to the back balcony/porch area (designated smoking area), and I ride the bus on a weekly basis, so sometimes app downloading on the go is a must, ha.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
Also, I know the CM6 stock music app is different from the 2.2 stock player (I think? I remember reading that on here a few days ago...), and was wondering if it's the same as Music Mod. If so, I guess downloading that again is pointless.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Sometimes roms are just weird like that I guess!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
It does differ, I'm not sure what music mod is but this has great features, gestures, song skip with trackball and volume buttons, etc.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
Music Mod is Froyo only, basically a hacked version of the stock music player. Seems like the CM6 stock might be based on that actually.

Also, after the first two downloads worked with 3G, rebooted to flash VVM, went to download something else after booting, and not working yet again.. Feel like I've had this problem in the past with various ROMs and sometimes just works itself out. Who knows (and yeah, fixed permissions with ROM Manager and everything).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Maybe your phone doesn't like 3g? :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
Ha, every once in a while it does seem so, or at least it seems like the Market doesn't sometimes..

At least it likes my phone enough to where I can take pictures of mutants on the city bus and upload them to Facebook!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] RoadBicyclist:
OK, that sounds good, I will follow your lead then.

One more question to be more specific (once a newbie always a newbie...hopefully not)?

Should I flash the new CM then reboot, go back to recovery and then flash the new gapps and reboot again?

Or can I just flash both CM & gapps at the same time and reboot?

Thanks as always.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Flashing back-to-back no reboot is perfectly ok. And I'm happy to help, let me know if you need anything else :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] HeroMeng:
Excited! Flashing now. Thanks Darch, Cyanogen, and everyone else who worked on it :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DozeBeatS:
Had Sprint VM installed, flashed this, now its gone and when I try to reinstall, it wont let me. Any ideas?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] norm12:
I was unable to download apps from the market with wifi and 3g, so I reflashed the new ones and it didnt work. So, back to 8/14 gapps
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
You need to reflash the zip from recovery... see my signature for the file :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] scott2020:
The release notes in the first post say Kernel 2.6.35 on version 6.1.0.

Are we still on 6.0.0 with 2.6.29 on the stable, with what was released yesterday?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Correct, we are on 2.6.29. We don't have a .35 or even a functional .32 kernel for the hero yet, so what you saw was probably for the Evo or some other high end phone.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] platinumrug:
Don't know if it's because I finally flashed a new rom after a month, but I can definitely see the difference. Good stuff.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Oh trust me, this is good stuff :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Zin0:
:mad: i want gps and speed.. by speed do you mean like faster internet connections or something ?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ahager88:
Actual phone performance.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Well the BFS is really only slightly faster, the uncapped kernel itself is blazing fast. No BFS uncapped = 440 quadrant, BFS = 470. Not that huge of a change really.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
Stable kernel is super fast to me. Tried one of the earlier BFS ones, and it was a bit too "buggy" for me.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Zin0:
Okay, ill just go with stable. I extracted it to my hero now, so how do i flash it ?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
+1 that's what I'm saying, stable is just as fast for everyday use.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Don't extract it, leave it as a zip on the base of your sd card and flash (no wipe) in recovery just like a rom.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alexnaoumi:
i have the camera bug where when u go to gallery and back out, my phone freezes and i have to do a battery pull. i thought it was fixed
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Zin0:

It's fixed for me... try wiping dalvik-cache.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
No problem, happy to help!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] n388mm:
my phones internet/data connection is broken on this stable build and the 9/19 nightly. i can not figure out why, ive repaired permisions, apk mismatches, verified md5, redownloaded, flash multiple times, complete wipe, and airplane mode.. nothing seems to work. the 3g icon is there and the arrows light up but the browser won't connect to any website. phone calls work.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
3G Market issue went away, then came back after awhile. Kind of puzzling, but having had this problem in the past with various ROMs, I think my only solution is to do what I always did, and just let it magically go away and work again..

Also, I don't know how different the new stable and 9/19 are (which I am running), but this seems noticeably snappier than the nightly I was using, geez.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] itrackit:
Wow my GPS is off by about 100-150 feet. 9-5 nighly is within 5 feet. What gives.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Is it only the browser or other data related apps like the market as well?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
And that should be correct... nightlies should be slightly different (maybe even slower) and less stable, while this remains fast and, well, stable :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
What kernel are you running?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
Did you try using GPS Status to reset your GPS status? Also read somewhere that flashing the newest GAPPs has helped with accuracy in GMaps as well..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] itrackit:
I share ur pain. Its happened to me on various nightlies (9-5 yesterday) but turning on airplane mode for 5 min then on seems to correct. I know u said u tried that I'm just saying what worked for me. I once nand back to a sense rom and updated my profile which seemed to renegotiate to the network. Not saying it will work but it might. Sorry I couldn't help more. I'm trying 9-18 now but GPS is way off. I know darch and others are working really hard for us so I'm not *****ing.

everything i can't even log into my google account to sync with my phone
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
No, I mean this particular nightly is even snappier than the one before, which makes sense, since it was built off the stable I'm sure. Minus GPS issues for a bit, they've all been rock sturdy for me, but no two setups are the same. :D

Almost tempted to make a nandroid, revert to the out-of-box stock setup, and feel the pain I felt when I took it out of the box and waited around 20 minutes for it to boot up, ha.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jkryspinjr:
Just flashed the newest version (no kernel updates) & the Google Apps. I can not get a GPS lock. I've tried the QOS altering to no avail. Any tips/tricks? I apologize in advance if I missed this.

I don't know how well the stock kernel handles GPS, but try dec's #14 stable, GPS works great for me.

lol im right there with you. i actually nandroided back to the day i rooted my phone and tried flashing to this to see if it resolved my issues but with no luck.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
The day I got my phone in the mail, I took it out of the box, turned it on, and waited. And waited and waited and waited. After what seemed like almost 20 or so minutes, I contemplated during a battery pull. As soon as I got the backcover off, it finally started to do it's thing. Finally boots up, and.... wow, this is slow. 10 minutes later I was rooted, and another 20 minutes later I threw ZenEXP on there, ha.
