I realize that Franken is a sense ROM. However, the repeated comments about Flash 10.1 (not Flash Lite 3.1) on AOSP have been that it won't work on the Hero because of the processor, not because the HTC framework wasn't there.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Squiggy45:
Move it to the phone instead of your SD card. Mine's working perfectly. Can't provide a download since it's not publicly available.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Squiggy45:
If you've got a legal version of the beta, go to the Swype website, log in and request the beta email again. Download Swype from there and reinstall.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Squiggy45:
That used to be the case with me as well, but it works great for me on this ROM.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
I just wanted to chime in on battery drain. I've seen it mentioned a few times but I also keep seeing people complain of battery drain issues.

Task killers are battery killers on this ROM.

I was using a combination of Advanced Task Killer and AutoKiller. The (intelligent) use of these apps seemed to help a bit when I was running Fresh 2.3.3 -- not as much with battery life so much as with general "zippiness."

Using the same setup on CM6 I got pretty miserable battery life on all the nightlies I ran and RC1. Day before yesterday I removed both Advanced Task Killer and AutoKiller and -- holy shiznits -- what a difference! I now see the amazing battery life that I saw so many talking about but wasn't getting myself. Forget turning off 3G, GPS, etc. This made 1000% bigger difference for me than any of that stuff.

It also brings up the broader point of people complaining the about ****ty battery life on this ROM when in reality its their own setup, 3rd party apps that are the problem. Hence my posting a solution after the fact rather than *****ing to the whole forum. You're welcome. :)

[Q] when installing apps to sd y does internal mem decrease

Hi Guys

I am running CM6 rc1 with the 8-19 build.

I have installed about 4 apps (handcent, goby, getglue, touchpal) all to the sdcard, I think. When I go to: menu - settings - applications - manage applications, the apps are listed under the "on sd" tab. When I check the sdcard the apps are in the android.secure folder on the sdcard. So why is it then that my internal memory decreases and the memory on my sdcard, as reported by the phone havent checked through the pc, stays the same.

The phone is reporting 20mb less in internal storage.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dsMA:
Stating that I flashed the full rc1 then flashed the 8-19 update.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] heresy_fnord:
I haven't used Task killers since 1.5. I have no apps installed that are actively running. Today the phone still died in under 12 hours.

This still doesn't explain the fact that when running 1.5 and 2.1 my batter life is basically double what it is now.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dynamicpda:
Did a quick search on this thread and didn't find any report of the problem I am seeing with RC1:

When I send an SMS to two recipients at once--haven't tried more yet, one will work fine and the other will fail.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] danaff37:
there is still some of the app left in data. Not to mention the actual data for the app and the dalvik for the app. All that comes out of the /data storage. I use the apps to sd, and ran out of room on data still (at 132 apps... lol) until I did firerats /system and /cache repartitioning.

Ok, before you blame the rom, realize that differences in frameworks in 2.2 means certain apps may not play nice. To verify, just do this (and no *****ing about it, it's just a test and you are not using a finished rom, after all)

nandroid backup your current setup. Wipe everything, flash a sense rom to clear the /system of everything (you don't even have to reboot yet), then wipe everything again and flash cm6 and google apps, boot up and install nothing else. No tweaks, kernels, or any apps at all. Run it for a day and see what happens then.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
But it worked fine on darchdroid 2.8... unless the open gl issue is new on froyo?

[Hero CDMA Android Development] Nak131:
thank you for this rom!!!

couple of questions

1) i know this can be flashed over nightlies, but can nightlies be flashed over this rom? are nightlies more updated than this rom?

thanks in advance
[Hero CDMA Android Development] overthinkingme:
coming from nightly 8/14, should I just flash the rc1? or should I also flash the new google addon too?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] myke66:
this. anyone have any info on it?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gidkid:
This is, as of now, the most up to date ROM.

If you already installed a nightly, you only need to flash the core ROM, not the gapps.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chefthomas99:
Massive is stretching it a bit, man... even though we are waiting maybe 2 or 3 seconds for the best rom our phone has ever had.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] overthinkingme:
thank you, very appreciated. Didn't know if the gapps were a new updated version.

If you're interested in gallery2d or..both:

I'm not sure if it will work on cyanogen 6, but I used the gallery switcher v3 on darchdroid and it worked awesomely..I know darchdroid is basically cyanogen 5, but it might be worth a try

can anyone confirm?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gidkid:
RE:VVM: There's a flashable zip for VVM, I'll attach it in a sec.

RE:FACEBOOK: Under the Facebook app's settings is an option to sync contacts. Check it, and it'll automatically sync them.

EDIT: VVM zip attached. Flash through recovery. Don't forget to Nandroid first.

I seem to be the only one with a problem with mms. they get sent to me and it says downloading but never downloads. Ive had the problem with every 2.2 rom ive used.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] urushiol:
The 2d gallery from this works excellent, only drawback is if you press on the picture thumbnail in the camera app, it doesn't take you to gallery.

The 3d gallery from here messes up worse than the 3d that comes with the rom.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] mercado79:
Yeah, I was about to say that the size is much more on the newer one and a quick count of the files found under /system/app shows there are 10 additional ones included plus some file size differences.

Anyway, yes... looks like the new googleshits are needed.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] Pauper7:
Great work Darch! Absolutely LOVE it. And a huge thank you to you for the CarHome App!! I cant wait to play with this tomorrow as is, no battery tweaks, just test the ROM as is for an entire day. Thanks again and if you would please let me know where to and how to donate to you I'd appreciate it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PMDColeslaw:
Does this have the Collin PH Battery tweak already? Just checking before I install it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tb87:
What is the 8-19 update? I dont see it on here or on the cyanogen forums.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dsMA:
firerats repartioning

Question:

What phone, kernel, rom, and build were you using when you did the repartioning?

Should you only do the repartitioning after after you have a lot of apps on the phone and are running out of internal memory or can you do it after an install or after only a few apps were installed?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cirehawk:
Okay, got it now. Some days I'm a little slower than others. But this does bring another question to my mind. I was running one of the earlier CM6 ROMs (ate your dog too, or one of them) and then started using the nightlies. My Hero has been running nicely for the most part. Is there a benefit to flashing RC1 and then applying the nightlies (as opposed to how I've been doing it)?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Tungst5n:
Thanks guys. I downloaded it onto my SD and flashed it on there. Really appreciate it!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bbv203:
I was just having this same issue, What I did to resolve it was: Uninstall both swype and the installer, reboot, re-download the installer, set autokiller to factory and it worked. DOn't know if you use autokiller, but hey it's an idea.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] stricklerjosh:
Are there any advantages to flashing the Nighlies? They are not stable like the RC-1 correct?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cuezaireekaa:
i believe that is correct. ~~ i have noticed a couple new changes in regards to options and whatknot but i have reverted to RC1 due to some slowdown.

EDIT:: Gonna try the latest 8-20 right now.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Big-O-Devil:
happy it worked for you... enjoy
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dpeeps74:
I've had no real issues with rc1 or multiple nightlies.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mercado79:
If you're still using the launcher that this ROM comes with, give LauncherPro a try. I've had much better luck with it.

Also....I'm currently at about 46% after 13 hours of moderate usage. Great ROM!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] danaff37:
on cm6, stock kernel/no tweaks, latest 8/19 nightly (been partitioned since 8/16 build I think) You have to flash it right after flashing a rom. Find the thread here, describes it all for you. If you're still confused, you may want to wait till you learn and understand more about android. It's easy to disable your phone for a while and be without

the nightlies are built by a bot using updates posted to a github (actually they moved onto something else, but same idea), so you never know what you may end up with.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] james33440:
I was wondering if anyone is still flashing the nightlies that are being put out or are you sticking with RC1?

Sent from my Froyo Hero using the XDA app
[Hero CDMA Android Development] heresy_fnord:
Yes, I know its a different framework. I'll try what you've suggested maybe this weekend. I require my phone for my job (I live out of my contacts / calendar) so I can't run an "empty" phone tomorrow.

You know, I don't really care about the ROM being overclocked. Does anyone have any suggestions on using SetCPU? I wonder if I should just run the ROM and force it to "stock" by putting it at 537MHz (well as close to stock as SetCPU will let you get.)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] raven206:
I'm using the rom with the 8/18 nightly and I must concur with so many other folks that say this rom is unbelievable. I'm not running anything fancy, no separate kernel, no autokiller, no taskiller. Only two things I am doing is running JIT, and utilizing launcherpro. To the folks that are complaining about battery life, lag in the response to user interface etc..please don't bash the ROM, do your homework. I have been flashing ROMs now for the better part of 5 months and the one thing that has paid off for me as the noobie to this stuff is doing my homework. The forum is a plethora of information that if you just simply do a search on any topic, you would be amazed at what you might find. I for one really appreciate the work all the devs have done because its like I have a new phone. I work in a hospital as a contractor with poor signal but still manage 14 hours a day with 30% life left. I'm not trying to pick a fight or raise some backhairs here, but for those of you that comment about 1.5 and how much better the battery life was "back in the day," go to your local sprint store and demand they reload it for you. But if you plan on flashing what can be considered the middle finger to Sprint, do some research, you might just be surprised what you might find instead of waiting for the handout. I apologize if this was a rant, or I offended anyone, just needed to be said.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] phreak311:
I have 2.2 installed right now and its great! I've heard flash doesn't work yet, but I've had flash 10.1 working on 2.1 roms such as Zen and fresh. Hope that helps...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] andygu3:
Running 820 now, nightlies getting better and better. Awesome benchmark scores, if that's your thing. Battery life? Incredible, I've never had my phone not on its charger for this long, ever. Great job Darch and Dec
[Hero CDMA Android Development] GrandMstrBud:
Awesome, everythign works great. Only thing is wireless tether for root users doesn't save the SSID or password for some reason and when I connect to it from an iPhone it doesn't hold the settings. Just strange thing but other than that it's great.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] scott2020:
I turned off ActiveSync on my phone just for grins, and my battery life is amazing now. I still kept my Gmail, facebook, weather, a few texts, couple phone calls, GPS usage with Nav for 30 minutes, and I have 50% battery left after 15 hours. With ActiveSync turned on, I can't make it 12 hours before death. I get at least 100 Exchange emails a day, and if I am in a marginal signal area, the battery goes even faster. This all makes perfect sense to me though. If I am using a lot more data to sync ActiveSync in a marginal signal area, you can expect the battery to die a lot faster.

Unfortunately for me, I really require ActiveSync so I just need to keep a charger close by.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] scott2020:
I have RC1 out of the box with nothing else modded, and my GPS is kind of a mess. It takes at least 3-4 minutes to lock, and often drops the lock. On the Sense roms around GPS locks instantly and stays locked.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] n01un0:
Are there issues going from 2.2 back to 2.1? I had nfinitex's 2.1 rom installed, did a nand backup, tried this CM6 and now I cannot nand restore any of the 2.1 roms I have backed up. I keep getting an adb error.

Any clue what to do or how to fix? Ive wiped everything thing multiple times and still no luck.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] diesel joe:
Collins battery tweak breaks gps as well
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Decad3nce:
..... meh.

The CFS tweaks, if enabled, change how often libgps refreshes due to lack of priority. It doesn't break anything.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] EonBlue725:
I just flashed the rc1/gapps and had everything going smoothly. Went into rom manager and had to download install clockwork mod. phone was hooked up via usb when downloading. I selected to make a backup and phone rebooted, then hung on the htc boot screen with "fastboot usb" on the top left. Where do I go from here? I'm new to this and forgive me for not searching through the entire thread for answers.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aven_soulgazer:
Have you popped the battery and turned it on again? See if it boots up.

If not pop battery again. Put it back in. Press and hold the home button then press and hold power. Should come up to a menu. Use the wipe options and reflash and restart.

That's my opinion and not responsible for a butterfly flapping its wings in Japan

I run the nightly builds. I flashed 19, rebooted and 20 was out so download and flash again.

I've had absolutely no problems with newest wireless tether.

I leave my activesync on as I'm not sure what information it controls but got much better battery with it off, but a large stack of emails when I turned it back on.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] EonBlue725:
Popped the battery, hung on htc screen forever. Popped battery again, used reset option in recovery menu. All working now. Hopefully I didn't mess anything else up.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] trentonite:
noob question inc....

if i flash a nightly update, will it reset my phone or will everything still be in place, i.e. 2ndary apps and contacts? (other than the changes of the update obv...)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chestont:
Looks awesome as usual. Having a problem that I started to have with the last version: when I got to marketplace and select the "downloads" button, instead of a list of all the apps I have downloaded, it only shows Google Maps. Ideas?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] krispuniq:
EVERYTHING will still be in place.. unless u DONT WIPE !!

If you wipe & install a nightly, everything is gone and needs to be re-installed (if u hav google apps, it might restore all market downloads automatically) & contacts if synced with your googlemail, they ll be back as well. But i dont think u need to wipe to install a nightly over any 2.2 CM6 versions (RC or nightly doesnt matter)

Good Luck.. rest assured, nothing will break. I am sure & i flash a new nightly quite often

[Hero CDMA Android Development] ToxicToastKatz:
When you say you turned ActiveSync off, exactly what does that effect, and how do you do it?

I know this sounds stupid and "noobie" which I'm not (at least not THAT much), but I tried to turn Auto Syncing off in Accounts&Settings and it didn't do anything, so I'm not sure I did it right. I have a feeling this could be my issue to, and if it is, it would solve what has been eons worth of getting frustrated with battery. Please help!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] t12icky0:
WOW....i cant believe this. After seeing everyone's battery going 15+ hours i was freakin out cuz mine would only go about 6 hours with everything turned off. Well took off Advanced task killer last night around 11pm and phone was fully charged. Flip it on this morning to check the charge(left it off charger all night) at 5:11am and its still at 100%. was expecting atleast a 2% drop but its amazing. Now i see what everyone has been talking about with the battery. Task Killers really do eat the battery with this rom(atleast for me).

its been 6 hours and not a single percent dropped...way to go on this rom!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jmartin72:
Your not supposed to use task killers anyway. Android is a smart OS and closes tasks it doesnt need on its own. You are doing more harm than good by closing tasks yourself.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mthanded:
Love this rom but having a really annoying issue with my bluetooth earpiece on this rom. Basically it disconnects during calls every 5 to 10 minutes. It will reconnect automatically in about 15 seconds but it keeps happening over and over during the call. It is extremely annoying and I never had this issue before. The weird thing is that with my a2dp headset for music this does not happen at all.

Got my texting problem fixed:

I came over from Fresh 2.3.3

I could send text messages but could not receive. Tried numerous things numerous ways.. and finally had to do this.

#1. With the phone fully booted I did MENU>SETTINGS>PRIVACY>FACTORY RESET

#2. Rebooted Phone into Recovery

#3. Wipe Everything

#4. Place Rom on SD Card with Google Apps

#5. Flash

Now everything is working.

Just wanted to throw this out as a possible solution to those having similar issues.

Oh and one more thing.. If you use Handcent (or another similar program) make SURE it is on the phone and not on the sd card!

[Hero CDMA Android Development] riggsandroid:
This dialer doesn't have those codes. If you want enter your MSL, you have to flash back to an HTC based rom to update PRL or any stuff like that.

I'm not sure what I am doing wrong here. I completely repartioned my sd card, wiped everything and flashed this ROM. I am getting stuck on the HTC screen. I have let it sit for an hour now and still nothing. I managed to install this once before and then switched back to a sense rom. However, now I can't get this one to flash again. Any insight or information would be greatly appreciated. I have even thought about installing the RUU, rerooting and flashing it from there. That's not an option I prefer though. I can't even get a logcat or anything right now. Thanks in advance for any assistance.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] typeadam:
Been running this ROM for a few days now and today I noticed a small issue. Prior to this build I was running DC 2.08. On that ROM and ever ROM before that, that I had, every time I ran an app that uses the GPS, pressing the 'Home' button to leave the app, would automatically disengage the GPS. On this ROM if I use an app that uses the GPS, pressing 'Home' or even exiting the app (if there's an 'exit' in the menu) does not disengage the GPS.

Any solutions or work-arounds (that DON'T require me to turn the GPS on and off whenever I need it manually).

PS: I see a lot of people complaining about their battery. After I ran the colin_ph tweak, my battery life is unreal - and I'm a HEAVY phone user...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PrO...:
I was really liking this Rom but at first I kept getting FCing than I was told the fix is in Rom manager but when I flashed it again it never linked to my Google account. Needless to say I went back to fresh ROM but I am gunna flash again. I have a question though, when I try to wipe it says error type dalvik wipe in adb. What OS that and where can I find it?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] scott2020:
Actually what I ended up doing was wiping and re-flashing and never set up my work email in Activesync. The battery life is fantastic now, but it won't work in my case. I need my device to have my work email, but it may be appropriate for someone else. I can't remove or disable standard functions for better battery life, so I just live with it.
