Hello everyone,

Just installed this rom and it has been amazing so far. Battery life is up and it is running beautifully. My only complaint so far is that i am not able to send out regular txt msgs that are over the allowed 150 (or is it 160?) characters. Any time i do the msg refuses to send out for some reason. As soon as i split up the msg into two separate one the issue goes away. Any suggestions?

P.S. i tried to look through the thread and did a couple of searches and wasn't able to find anything. I apologize if this has been answered already
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Use Handcent, and in settings allow for auto split... That way it will do it automatically without you having to manually split it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] asoong:
I believe the 160 char limit is standard and enforced by the carrier - its not an issue with the ROM. If you're using Handcent, there's a setting to automatically split by 160 chars. I don't think the stock app has the same option to split.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] asoong:
@theimpaler747 - man you're fast :p
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jkap310:
damn i was hoping to avoid using handcent, but o well. I find that it eats up the battery sooo fast for some reason. THere is no option for the default msg to do this?

edit: damn just read the above msg while posting this.

Thanks for the help everyone! Super fast!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jakejm79:
Yes it is CDMA limitation, it was just never noticed before since the HTC framework on the other ROMs did the splitting behind the scenes. It would be awesome if someone could hack/edit the stock messaging app to have the same split option that Handcent does, tho it would only be useful for us CDMA users.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
I know you almost beat me though :p
[Hero CDMA Android Development] asoong:
chomp is a handcent alternative. i've heard good things about it but never bothered since handcent does the job for me (and is swype and shapewriter friendly if u fat-finger type like me :D )
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dpeeps74:
I've been using the stock messaging app and it sends & splits my SMS fine. I've been using solely the stock app since around the 8/23 nightly.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bigjustinturbo:
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that noticed this. It's a bummer, but it also seems like a real limitation of the rom, especially since it's such a fundamental function of the phone, and the stock messaging app doesn't have a character counter. But yeah, it would only be to accommodate CDMA users.

I never realized that HTC/Sense was handling the message splitting 'behind the scenes', though. I just assumed it was something smart you could expect from a smartphone's software.

I had been avoiding Handcent since running CM6 just because I was happy with the simple stock app, but this is kind of the last straw. But, it's not a bad thing as I really like all of Handcent's features, and had just started using quick reply about a month before trying this rom. Oh well, welcome back, old friend.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jakejm79:
The stock app does have a counter, it just doesnt display until you reach the last 10 chars.

Go to the contact you want to edit the ringtone for, hit menu, options, then change the ringtone to the custom one.

I noticed that when you hold the launcher pad down and slide it up it the 3 buttons disappear and come back later what is this feature for and how do you get the buttons to come back sooner
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
What is your question? Could you specify a bit please? What launcher pad, and what buttons?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] yoktom:
Just loaded my first mod - and it was today's nightly :) Thank you so much!

A few things i noticed that I researched and didn't find answers to, hopefully this will help others considering this mod (which so far, ROCKS)

There are only 5 screens in the android set up - not 7 like the stock sense. This isn't a big deal to me - but it might be to some.

The first few times it loads on boot it takes For Ev ER... but it does load more quickly when you actually start using it.

I HIGHLY recommend Titanium backup before doing this. It saved hours.

From what I can see (and I could be wrong- it's happened before:D ) there is no flash support. The stock software did have flash lite at least - and this does not...hoping perhaps that will come in a future build? I don't care if it is the full version...I just like to be able to see the videos on this website someonewillbuythis.com- does anyone have a suggestion for this? I really am sad...really, tears and everything. (okay, not that bad...)

There doesn't seem to be a connection for HTC Sync...very sad. Thank goodness I backed up all my contacts and calendar before doing this :)

Anyway, just a few things I noticed, and I thought others might want to know...

Speed is ridonkulous...I def. do not want to go back to the old sense...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] EonBlue725:
Thanks!

[Hero CDMA Android Development] paul96:
On rc1 there is a task bar that holds 3apps at the bottom of the screen. The launcher pad is in the middle. When I hold the launcher pad down and slide it up the task bar disappears. What I this feature for and how can I get the task bar to come back sooner
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
OK so you're referring to ADW launcher. Go to settings, ADW launcher settings, and then go to gestures, and I believe you'll find what you're looking for there.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
Its a feature of ADW launcher, its basically a hidden shortcut dock. You can use it if you want to store extra apps, or you can disable it in ADW Settings.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] roadster92:
It's under AWD settings "UI Settings", to disable uncheck Dockbar.

To bring back the 3 buttons task bar jsut put your finger in the area where the launcher pad is and swipe down.

Does this include SENSE UI?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cuezaireekaa:
:rolleyes: ...now this is good. lol ~~~~> no it don't include sense. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
No sense :D completely open source. That's the way it will always be too.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ssconceptz:
any way to get sense on it, I want to upgrade but not sure that I want to give up the SENSE UI, what do you guys think about SENSE vs the Froyo UI. BTW just rooted this 2.1 Hero and now wondering what a NANDROID backup is.....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
No way to get sense UI, and AOSP is way better. Read up by going to the stickies at the top of this tread and by looking up all the different rooting processes and terms, as this will give you a better understanding of what you think will fit you best as far as roms go.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ssconceptz:
Umm im rooted now, didnt do the Nandroid backup because I cant find what it is, even through search, so can I just flash RC1 now? Screw the SENSE UI, If I want it back, I can always reflash 2.1.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] westicle:
Dude, you should totally read the stickies....prob shouldn't flash this until u know a bit more about it...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] asoong:
So I finally got around to trying this out and win 7 says my drivers are up to date and my phone has the blue icon that says "Tethering or hotspot active" What next? I've turned off my wireless connection to test the tethering but the usb connection doesn't show up as a data connection or nic. any ideas? tia.

Edit: FYI, in device manager\android phone, I only have "Android ADB Interface" - not the "HTC Remote NDIS based device" as shown in the cyanodenmod wiki's screenshot. Would someone who has USB tethering working tell me what they have in their dev mgr? tia
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ssconceptz:
I know what Im doing, just very new to the Android/Hero scene and this isnt my first rodeo but Ive never flashed a custom recovery that had this many steps. Is there a simplified guide on how to flash a custom recovery on an already rooted device? If not someone should create one. Thanks for any help, I just really would like to get this done before I have to go to bed but it doesnt look likely as Im searching my a$$ off and cant find anything other than a rooting thread but dont know where to pickup from there to get the recovery flashed as Im already rooted.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] SirRipo:
Can I rearrange the icons on the launchbar/taskbar? Or add more so I more than just the three?

Sprint said no Froyo for Hero, I said eff that.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mohflrsea:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] ssconceptz:
Ok tried the steps I found to install custom recovery and in the 2nd post says you need 2.27.651.5 not 2.27.651.6 so I am trying to flash this older RUU but so far, it just stopped working.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ahager88:
That doesn't apply to the recovery, just the root itself.

Once rooted, download a recovery, Android sdk and HTC sync. Turn usb debugging on on your device. Put the recovery in the tools folder of sdk. Then open a terminal.

Adb flash_image recovery nameofrecovery.img

That's it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ssconceptz:
Thanks got it figured out, I was having the RUU issue but its resolved. Needing an updated link for the google apps as the link is dead.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ssconceptz:
ok that new google apps link is http://mirror.kanged.net/gapps/gapps-mdpi-20100816-signed.zip

also I just flashed this RC1 from the sdcard and it seems like the phone is stuck in a loop at the cyanogen(mod) loader screen, maybe Im just not patient but seems like it has been going for about 3 minutes now.

....i had the zip file (RC1) on the root of the sd when I flashed it, thats correct?

Ive let it sit overnight and nothing, when it finally booted, it wasnt even operational, it would unlock and the unlock was upside down. but there was nothing in the interface. I tried to restore my nandroid backup and i got an error. hope my phone is ok, i followed all instructions correctly.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] scifan:
Try booting back into the recovery rom, and go into Wipe and do a factory reset... (assuming you haven't already done this)

(DC your battery, then volume down + send+hangup then home to go into recovery)...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] scifan:
So,

I'm looking for a little help with Battery life...

When I'm running this rom, it seems like my battery life is quite a bit shorter than when running ZenHeroFX. My primary reason for running this rom is bluetooth connectivity... but if battery life is ~ half what it was on ZenHeroFX, that bites bad... Also, it's pretty laggy when unlocking it... And at this point, I seem to have fouled up superuser... (I upgraded it to 2.3.4 and now I can't seem to get anything authorized to SU to root)

Thoughts? Am I FOO and need to flash back to the "stock" RC1 rom? Should I switch over to a nightly (and if so, which date?) should I load a OC Kernel - again, if so, which one?, should I use the (praised and/or maligned) collins battery mod?

I'm hoping for a little additional direction. I'm ok with moving away from Sense... (I like it, but can live without it)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] clutch_08:
What I found to give me a longer battery life was to flash the black theme mod. I have tryed thus on two hero and both have longer battery times then before
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fifedogg:
I think you should do a full wipe and re-install RC1. My battery life is great...

What Kernel are you running? Also, have you looked in spare parts to see what is using up all your battery life? There is a option in there that will put your device to sleep when you press the power button to shut the screen off. Its working great for me. My phone will last about 2 days if I dont really use it and I have full service. Otherwise it almost always last a full day no problem...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ncadden:
Is there any easy way to keep up with my nandroid backups? Is it ok to change teh initial folder name to somethign that more easily identifies which ROM is inside them? I guess I'm just wondering how people keep up w/these on their HD's?

I always just go by the time and date stamp. Then I know. lol Pain in my bootay, but it works...lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] revcp:
Voice Dialer vs. Voice Search

Not sure whether this is the correct place to ask this. I was quite happily using my bluetooth headset to voice activate numbers for handsfree calls. After a low "beep" on my headset I would get a voice that would say "Steve, now..." and the "voice search" voice would activate and then respond to the command. That was a few nightlies ago. Now when I press my BT headset there is no little voice, and after some time it's the "voice dialer" that comes up on the screen. Voice Dialer is not associated with BT.

So I'm not sure how to go about fixing this. I thought about using titanium to uninstall "voice dialer", but I'm concerned that it might be integrated with "voice search", i.e. that it might be an engine that that somehow assists "voice search". Anyway, it's a quandary.

Here's another curious thing: I looked at the "voice search" through menu/settings/apps/all and it is version 1.01. I checked the market to see whether I'm running the most up to date app. Sure enough, there's a 2.01 out there. So I went in through Titanium to delete the older in order to install the newer and what do I see but that Titanium voice dialer is 2.01. Now I'm even more confused.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] scifan:
I'm just running the kernel that was deployed with RC1... didn't load any extra curricular Kernels... Spare parts shows alot of time as being "on" perhaps making that change for sleep might help...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] revcp:
Yes, you can change the folder name, but I learned the hard way that you can't leave any spaces. Make sure that in place of spaces you put a hyphen or dot. I've done exactly what you suggest, change the names of my different nandroid files to identify which nightly, which is fresh, which is zenhero, etc.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bigfoottrucker:
Just use Rom Manager. I name my backups at save or rename at will.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] SweepinJR:

Are the time stamps accurate on yours? For some reason, mine are about 5 or 6 hours ahead of the time I actually make the backup. Kinda goofy.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fifedogg:
mine were that way as well. If you make your backups in rom manager it lets you name it what ever you want.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Stramondroid:
Yeah, my stamps are correct. No issues.

Just a quick newbie question, what do the kernels do for the phone?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] SweepinJR:
Got it, I'll get that dl'ed now.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ssconceptz:
Fixed my issue. After the Froyo never loaded I went into recovery and did a Wipe and it booted to Froyo in under 2 mins. Anyone else who has this issue that should fix it.

I have a few issues I need help with:

1. Installed launcher pro and can't get the option to use it to pop up.

2. Sprint apps work except NASCAR and NFL just close immediately with no FC dialog.

If anyone got these to work lmk. Thanks

Stupid question, but is there a difference between you VVM apk and Sprint Core apk? Specifically, does the signed apk get rid of the SMS messages?
