Flickr integration was an HTC specific feature so it won't work on this ROM. Your options:

There may be something in the Market that does something similar.

Switch to an HTC-based ROM like Fresh, but you won't get 2.2 features.

Switch to Picasa, which has built-in sync in 2.2.

I'm sure that's not the answer you wanted and none of the choices are great but you just need to prioritize what's most important for you.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Danokan:
Not receiving texts with this rom.

I am using RA-heroc-v1.6.2

I came over from Fresh 2.3.3

Wiped. Flashed. Flashed Google aps.

Nothing.

Went back in and re-wiped everything then re-flashed the rom.

Strange thing though.. When I re-wiped and re-flashed, alot of the stuff that shouldn't be there was there (apps that I downloaded, etc).

Still unable to receive texts.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tobiasly:
Does it matter what ROM I came from? Except for that (I was on stock 2.1) I'm the same as you and I can sit here and watch my battery plummet. I'd really love to figure this out.

When you open Battery Status is Display your highest usage? Mine always shows over 50% for Display even though I also hit End when I'm done w/ something and my brightness is at 30%. That just doesn't sound right.

Why is my Display sitting here chewing through my battery while I'm not doing anything? And where can I find Awake Time (it's not in Phone Status anymore)?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tobiasly:
But if a widget or Facebook were the culprit here wouldn't they show higher in Battery Usage? In 2.1 BU was always great at figuring out where my battery was going, in CM6 the Display is so high the others are almost always small single digits.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Danokan:
Just flashed back to Fresh 2.3.3 and received all of the text messages I didn't get.

Odd to say the least....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tobiasly:
What does your Battery Usage look like? Is Display always above 50% like it is with me?

[Hero CDMA Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
Flickr integration was a staple of HTC Sense; I don't believe that I've ever seen AOSP Flickr sync. There are a couple 3rd-party Flickr clients in the market, from what I saw "FlickrFree for Android" seemed to be closest to HTC's. Flickroid also seemed okay. Do some digging.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zeropants:
Nevermind that. The circular battery icon there tries to find a sense file to verify setup. It won't install on this rom.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] n388mm:
shouldnt matter at all as long as you wiped to a factory/data reset and the davik.

in stead of using battery status open up spare parts, go to battery history, on the top drop down select "partial wake usage", and on the bottom drop down select cycle through and see and see if any programs are above the one labled "Android System"

my android system bar is at about 33% and every thing else is just a sliver of blue.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PMDColeslaw:
I'm just curious, whats the main difference between this and the FroYo 2.2 - CM6 Extremely Blue AND Vanilla (unthemed) Versions ROM. Like I know that the blue version is themed but the vanilla version seems to be pretty close to exactly the same at this one. Is there a major difference?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] heresy_fnord:
I'm not the only one. I have been running for 1.5 hours today and I've already lost 12%.

I have the 8-17 nightly and Google apps, and the uncapped kernel installed (the one with the interactive governor on by default) :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] heresy_fnord:
I don't know what people are doing with their phones to get 16 hours on them. Seriously. What are you doing? Do you use exchange activesync? Do you have other email syncing? Do you have facebook syncing? Do you have GPS on or off? Do you have 3g on or off? Do you have wireless on or off? Are you one of these people that thinks it's acceptable to turn all that stuff off in order to gain 16 hours of battery life?

Because I'm not. The fact is, with 2.1 I can get 16 hours like you and have all of that stuff turned on (minus the GPS).

I would love to know what everyone is doing outside of disabling 3G all the time to have great battery life. Maybe it's activesync but if that's the case I can't use 2.2. If Darch or someone wanted to comment and say "yeah activesync is the issue" then I'd accept that, drop back to 2.1 and just give up and buy a new phone when I have the money.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PMDColeslaw:
I can't speak for them but the Collin PH Battery Tweak works wonders for me on this rom. I get a minimum of 16 hours with normal use. I use active sync, facebook & twitter sync, gmail, gps, and 3g and never turn them off.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Psycoboy15:
Does anyone know how to solve the message that you get saying you have voicemail when you lose signal and get it back briefly? I don't have any voicemails (I called in to verify I don't). This is the only thing that is bugging me now about this release. The texts I use to get when I got voicemails I resolved simply by switching to google voice.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] heresy_fnord:
I tried that and I'm willing to try it again. It didn't seem to make a difference for me. I have already applied the uncapped kernel so now I just need to know if I can still put the collin tweak on "over top" so to speak.

Also I failed to mention that I am not running tons of widgest. Although I could run most of the HTC widgets on the stock 2.1 ROM and still have battery life.

I do have JIT enabled but all the reading I've seen on that is that it shouldn't be a problem.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PrO...:
I'm having trouble with FCing on ADW.Launcher and my messaging(even handcent). I tryed wiping but I get an error on the delvik.cache, it says use adb. What am I missing?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] heresy_fnord:
I believe you should run the "fix permissions" inside the rom manager app. That is supposed to fix FC's.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Ezintn:
all my "use adb" errors (usually on restore, sometimes bu or wipe) have been due to low battery - less than 35%. recharge or plug in fixes.

has your launcher or messaging been moved to sd? if so move 'em back to phone.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] borhaj:
I was about to say it might be your battery but you say it's fine with 2.1

I have extremely good battery life on this rom and have every thing on but gps ( turn it on when I need t0). haven't done the battery tweak either.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vita10gy:
Right, but that was exactly my point. Why WOUNDN'T Sprint/Verizon/etc be out done by a group of people who as a group have virtually limitless resources by comparison? (Who also get to say things like "if this bricks your phone, tough" and have no rules/red tape.)

(Also, people seem to have an attitude that official releases should be bug free, while giving a complete pass to "all the little things" that don't work on custom roms. This is a great rom, and the devs are to be commended, don't get me wrong, but if this rom came from Sprint/HTC the bug reporting would sound much different.)

As for the "they said it couldn't be done" argument. First off, I think that might have been google setting the specs. Secondly, they might have been talking about running the OS in its entirety, concession free, without lag. (In other words, yes that phone is technically running 2.2, but if they turned on half the do dads 2.2 came with, their phone would be unusable. That may or may not be the case here, but that day is no doubt coming.)

I didn't mean to come off as if there's absolutely no "oh yeah? look what we can do!" factor to all this, just both that it shouldn't be a surprise when it was both inevitable, and that it was really the whole point of pushing a common open phone OS in the first place.

Imagine if someone laid the foundation for an open source forum and then handed that over to a corporation and the open source community. The corporation might get a good head start because it has its structure and team in place, but it wouldn't be long before the open source version was much better. It's just the nature of the beast.

Look how long the mod community has kept the original G1 going. If not for the mods these phones would be forgotten. The only reason phone companies push upgrading so hard is because then they know they have you for 2 more years. They would be delighted if everyone stuck with their phone for long periods of time. The mod community is doing the phone companies a favor just as much as they are giving them the finger.

Hopefully it's not too far off into the future that the carriers have as much to do with what's running on our phones as our ISP's have to do with what our computer runs. They always have been, but android highlights their position as worthless middle men just messing up the process very well.

At any rate, I didn't mean to derail an already long thread. Back to the matter at hand. Great rom.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PMDColeslaw:
I'm not sure if there would be an issue using the tweak with that kernel. I'm using the included kernel.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] heresy_fnord:
Yes, with several 2.1 custom ROMS here on XDA as well as the stock 2.1 ROM I had what I considered terrific battery life. Unless I played a game on the phone or had higher than normal call usage, I generally got around 12 or 13 hours on charge during the work week and then sometimes as high as 24 hours over the weekend because I use the phone less then.

So generally speaking I get between 12-24 hours between charges on 2.1.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] heresy_fnord:
I have just installed (about 30 minutes ago) the collin ph tweak and set it to the setting 2 (default 691). I assume the kernel has the interactive setup still since that was a part of the kernel and now the collin tweak should keep the MHz wherever it wants to.

We'll see...I'm even giving the phone a fighting chance by not doing any outbound calls on it. I have only had one call on it so far today and that lasted maybe 2 minutes.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Psycoboy15:
I am having another issue. After loading this rom and using the Rom Manager my phone won't boot into recovery now
[Hero CDMA Android Development] evilmachines:
Hope this helps. I was having horrible battery life even with collins battery tweak, 100 to 0% in 6 hours with light use. The culprit for me: Activesync for my corp email account. I was about to go back to 2.1 but decided to remove it and now the battery life is amazing, at 90% off the charger for 3.5 hours. I am using Touchdown now for exchange email, which I like a little more.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wingzfan:
When I first ran the rc1 rom I had pretty crappy battery life like you. I went back to fresh's rom and then saw the 8-18 nightly and decided to try again and since then Im getting absurdly good battery life. Ill give you my setup so you can compare since we both had/have the same issue.

Right now Ive been running for 17 hours 52 minutes (5 hours on asleep while I slept) and Im at 43% battery left. Ive been streaming slacker over wifi and playing through a stereo bluetooth headset for 2 1/2 hours.

Screen Brightness - 30 or so %

Background data - on

Facebook sync - 1 hour

GPS - off

Wifi - off unless streaming music

Bluetooth - off unless playing music

Beautiful widget weather update - every 3 hours

Overclock Widget - 576 max/480 min

Youmail checking for new VM - upon missed or ignored call only

Gtalk - signed in

Weatherbug elite - manual update only

Ive ran ebuddy for about 20 minutes, facebook a total of an hour, browser 30 minutes, only 4 voice calls totalling 20 minutes, roughly 60 texts, downloaded and installed 3 apps.

No JIT, no Battery tweaks

Im running 8-18 nightly with the blackmod theme. I ran my battery to zero after installing the rom. charged to 100%, wiped battery stats from the recovery and restarted the phone and thats where I am now.

Thats about as detailed as I can get so maybe that'll help setup a mark for you to go on.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ItsDon:
You seem to have tried everything else, why not disable activesync for a day and see what happens to your battery? I know you need it but at least you will be able to rule in/out as the culprit.

FYI, I'm running 8-19 build, unplugged my phone at 7AM (100%), checked email and sent one text. It is now 9:06AM and my battery is at 99%. :D

Can anyone please answer my question about Display being over 50% in Battery Usage? Right now mine shows 67% Display. Is it that high for anyone else? heresy_fnord what does your Battery Usage ranking look like?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tobiasly:
Thanks for explaining how to do this, I did find one service (Remember The Milk sync) that was listed above Android System so I just killed & uninstalled it. Battery still seems to be dropping too quickly.

Thinking at this point I'm gonna re-wipe and re-flash without installing anything for at least a day or so to see where that gets me.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hough77:
go to ROM manager, and at the top of the screen hit flash clockwork mod, it happend to me just reflash through the app
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cirehawk:
So you're running the YouMail app with no adverse effects? I use YouMail, but when I would run the app it would kill the battery so I stopped using it. Maybe I'll give it a try again with the settings you mentioned.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] heresy_fnord:
My display is at 15% and that's since about 7:30 or so this morning.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] heresy_fnord:
After todays test I'll give that a shot. If that's the case though, I will have to just wait until I can buy another phone. Activesync hasn't previously been an issue and I don't want to buy touchdown.

I'll report what I find after testing that (after I let my phone go today and see how far it makes it.)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] heresy_fnord:
So far, I'm starting to suspect Activesync. Since that's one of the difference between what you are running and what I am running. I'll also try disabling JIT and see if that makes a difference.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zeropants:
Display and Phone Calls should take up a large majority of your battery % depending on how many calls you make/receive. It's not unusual for the two of those to add up to at least 60% and sometimes up to 80% of my battery usage.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dsMA:
[Q] apps2sd not moving apps

OK I am sure this was prob asked but there are way too many pages to read through.

I am running rc 1 with the 8-19 nightly build.

In applications I have allow moving checked and location set to external.

I installed two apps to test it out (handcent and touchpal (a keyboard)) but it does not appear as though they were installed to the sdcard. My internal memory size went down by 5 to 10mb and I could not find them on the sdcard.

Last night collin_ph (i think) told me that fat32 was supported so I deleted my ext partition.

Is fat32 in fact supported and what am I doing wrong?

**UPDATE**

looked under applications and found that the two apps were listed under the "sdcard" tab

was told that apps get installed to android.secure

checked and the two apps were there
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tobiasly:
Thanks for the data point. This is just really bizarre :P
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tobiasly:
I haven't made any phone calls today and I only turn on the display when I'm actively using it. I just never saw Display numbers that high while using 2.1. I'm beginning to suspect that it doesn't actually measure display battery usage and just pads that number to bring it to 100.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dsMA:
I had the same problem last night.

If you can still boot into the os (home screen here is what you can do)

download one of the raa 1.6.2 files

move the file to the sdcard

run shell through adb

run this command: flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-heroc-v1.6.2.img

you may need to run mount -a or mount sdcard before issuing the above command.

There are some boxes that list steps on the page I link you to but essentially they are the steps I list above.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jakejm79:
Battery life is so subjective depending on what you are using your phone for and where.

For example: Yesterday I got about 28 hours out of my phone, that included a handful of phone calls, a bunch of texts, playing around with the voice action function and having my email checked every 15 mins, GPS and Wifi was turned on the whole time. Today my phone has been unplugged or 3 hours and I only have 17% left, yes I did use navigation for the whole 3 hours and made about an hour worth of phone calls not to mention I was in different service areas.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
I got through 30ish hours and still had 55% left. This was with the occasional text, bunch of calls, checking email, Google maps, etc. Not super heavy duty usage, but still. Used Pandora for a bit too
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wingzfan:
I actually just started it today due to the VM texts in handcent. Google voice seems to poll too much so I figured only polling if I miss or ignore a call would be fine. Ill test for a day or two and see how it runs.

Roaming/Billing Question

If I put this on my phone, do I need to worry about roaming or getting a crazy high cell bill? I'm with Cellular South if that matters. I'm still learning about rooting and have messed with a Cell South ROM that was ok, but I've seen Froyo ROMs and they look awesome. Is there anything I need to do other than flash this ROM to make sure I don't get caught with a crazy bill?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] trentonite:
this shouldn't in any way affect your roaming or signal strength...though one thing you might want to do is look for the latest radio update for your phone and flash that on to your phone first. not really familiar with cell south, so you'd have to search for the latest update. once you update that, flash the rom and you're golden.

btw, just put this on my phone yesterday and im loving it. along with the rom i installed beautiful widgets (bc i thought the clock was ugly) as well as autokiller and MinFreeManager. The combo of those two keeps the phone running faster than i've ever had it before and is extending the battery life significanly. can't give enough thanks for the rom.

hope this helps!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rulyskull:
Can flash 10 bit put in the Tom(not the app) because some Roms like red dawn blue echo and others have it in it

anyone have problems getting swype installed? i keep getting the "this version is not meant for this phone" (not verbatim) error. i've tried doing what it says in the FAQ on the swype site, but still can't get it installed. just wondering if there was a trick or a known conflict with it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cirehawk:
Okay, I'm puzzled by that statement. How are you running RC1 WITH a nightly build? I thought you ran either one or the other.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pwrmedia:
I encourage everyone using this ROM to d/l Fast Reboot Pro and Startup Auditor to fully maximize RAM in place of any other Task Killers. Run the Auditor first and then configure FRP to your liking. I've been using these for the past 2 weeks or so on the nightlies and the latest RC, and they've performed very well, with MB hovering around 75 MB on average, and staying about 45MB when using heavy duty mem killing apps and tasks.

Those + Batt Tweak + Kernel mod of choice + JIT, 710mhz = Stable, fast, happy RC. :D

Oh, and to contribute to the batt life debate - averaging 20 hrs, leaving 10% remaining before I choose to recharge. Moderate to heavy use, and leaving GPS/3G on for about 19 of those up hours. Max so far - 31 hrs (3G off for 5 of them), and nothing but text/phone, and occassional Facebooking.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Vietl3oi4eva:
yes but the gps issue was happening before i flashed the uncapped kernal. my gps just doesn't seem to work, it tells me location is accurate to 2500 meters.

i wiped everything and flashed the rom. this has been an issue for me with all the

2.2 roms from the start
[Hero CDMA Android Development] myke66:
So i dont know what happened, but ive been running this just fine for a few days now, my phone died so i put it on charge and didnt turn it on, went out for a few hours, when i came home to boot it up, it keeps bootlooping now. Sometimes it will load all the way to the home screen, then lock up and reboot, sometimes it will keep reloading the cynaogen screen.

It was working so well :(

edit: i think it has to do with setCPU setting frequencies on boot. it seems that when it loads to the homescreen, the message "SetCPU has been granted superuser permissions" about 20seconds later it reboots.
