Oh, I know it's not a ROM. I just meant (forgot to actually type it out) that I didn't feel like chancing having to re-flash if something went wrong. But it's all good now, I think I'm going to keep both just for the option.

Now that I think about it, this is basically the same outcome I would've gotten had I went with your suggestion! Both 2 and 3D galleries, with the option to switch....haha pretty cool.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Remember nandroid is your friend :p
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaycustom:
Since we're on the subject, (I have 2 backups, but never used them) when I do backup, does it actually revert back to EXACTLY how my rom was setup? Like apps, widgets, etc all like they were, or just the ROM itself?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Yes, exactly, all apps, settings, widgets, everything :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaycustom:
Wow, cool, thanks for all your help tonite man. Much appreciated. Untill next time...take er easy.

Text LED notification not working?

I was trying to find a way to search this thread, but for the life of me, I could not find the search function. Didn't it used to be at the top?

In any case, I'm having trouble with the LED notification. When I receive an text, it blinks once, then never again. Anyone else had this trouble? Any solutions?

I'm using the basic CM6, not one of the nightlies. I can nandroid back to a state where it was not having the trouble, but I'd prefer not to do so, if I can fix it otherwise.

Let me know your thoughts. Thanks to everyone who is contributing to CM6 and this forum. Everything you post is gold. My Hero-C would be nothing if not for this forum!

has anyone else experienced horrible battery drain (talking less than 8 hours) because of "com.android.email" using a high CPU percentage?

apparently it affects Exchange accounts that sync on a timed schedule (I've got three accounts configured), but it's the first time that it's happened to me...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fifedogg:
I've had to reflash the rom 3 times now because all of a sudden android.process.media keeps force closing not allowing me to play ringtones and everything else associated with that process (tons of stuff). It seems to come out of nowhere as I am just usually looking at my phone or taking a phone call when this happens. Once this happens I cant do anything to fix it, it just keeps happening over and over...tried Fixing the permissions uninstalling everything nothing works.

Any Ideas?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] roughbuff:
I've had this happen a few times. It appears to be due to not being able to connect to the email server but I have no idea why. After a reboot email is correctly pulled and updated and process is no longer killing the battery.

Stupid Question..

I've got a very stupid question. How/where do i get the nandroid backup ? And if you could provide steps, that will help.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Power phone off, hold home and end call, and make a nandroid.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Zin0:
Very unintellegent question..

How/ Where do i get the Nandroid Backup from ? And what does it do ? Also, if you could provide steps for me to follow, that would help. I'm kinda new to this..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Zin0:
Okay, i'm at the recovery screen, but i don't see make a nandroid anywhere, i've got a cdma hero btw..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Are you even rooted?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Zin0:
Yes. I am. I found the nan backup thing.. im trying to switch to froyo , so how do i get the information back to my phone, once i use cm6 ?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Nandroid won't import settings and info onto froyo from your current rom... for that you need titanium backup and other market apps.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Zin0:
Oh.. Good thing i didnt wipe yet. Okay, is there like a guide to this or something ?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Search around the forums, I'm sure there's something :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Zin0:
Okay. So what would happen if i just changed to cm 6, without doing that. What would i lose ?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Just apps, which by the way automatically restore from the market with froyo :) and settings.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Zin0:
...Thats 1000000x easier. So like, i guess i would have add my contacts and bookmarks, but other than that, everything would be the same ?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Actually, the contacts will auto re-sync because of google :) just bookmarks and stuff would have to be redone.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Zin0:
Well, i'm extracting cm 6 to my sdcard now.. so here i go :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Zin0:
Okay, somethings not working. I extracted it, but when i go to the flash zip it only gives me my old rom.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Vandelay007:
You don't extract it, that's your problem

When you boot to recovery you choose Install from Zip - then scroll down to the zip file and it will install CM6

Sent from my HTC Hero with Froyo...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] foolforfood:
Don't extract it, just put the zip file on the root of your sd card and flash that. Don't forget to flash the gapps too!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cirehawk:
I have a quick question about how the uncapped kernel, setcpu, and the collins battery tweak work together. I'm running the uncapped kernel, so if I overclock with setcpu does the battery tweak work? Or is there a need to run it? I ask because it seems that when you run the batt-cfg utility for the tweak, one of the options is to run at 710. I assume this is the cpu frequency, but I am also setting the frequency with setcpu. I'm a little confused on if/how they work together.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Zin0:
Ah. Where does it say Install from zip ? I only see reboot system, usb-ms toggle, backup/restore, flash zip from sdcard, wipe, partition sdcard and other.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Vandelay007:
You don't want to use both...I have tried both and find I get the best battery life out of set CPU. Set the min-max to 691-748 and obviouslymuch lower profile for when the screen is off

Sent from my HTC Hero with Froyo...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Vandelay007:
Yeah - select flash zip from SD card and scroll down to it

Sent from my HTC Hero with Froyo...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Zin0:
That's the problem. It's not there. It only shows fresh 2.4.0 . edit: thats what i'm on now. I think it might be my download link. This was the one i was using http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=755795
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Vandelay007:
Did you download it with your phone as opposed to putting your SD card in a computer? If so, scroll down to the folder called download (not downloads) and you can go into that folder and select it to flash

Let me know

Sent from my HTC Hero with Froyo...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Zin0:
Oh. I downloaded it from my pc to my phone, without using my micro sd reader... i'll try using it..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Vandelay007:
Before you do that check to see if it is in /sdcard/download already. If so then no need to redownload

Sent from my HTC Hero with Froyo...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Zin0:
I used my usb cable the first time. And its not in the downloads folder. I just tried doing the reader and it doesn't work so i'm gonna try doing it directly.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Vandelay007:
You should go to the original post using your phone and download the cm6 rc1 zip file and also the gapps zip file as well...your phone will download them to sdcard/download. You want to wipe data, flash cm6 then flash gapps the exact same way you flashed cm6..when that is done choose reboot system

Be aware the first full boot could take ten plus minutes so just be patient

Sent from my HTC Hero with Froyo...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Vandelay007:
Also, /download and /downloads are different, if you looked in /downloads then you wont find it, be sure you look in download - in recovery mode you have to scroll further down to get to it

Sent from my HTC Hero with Froyo...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Zin0:
So after they're done downloading , i should go back to the flash zip and see if cm 6 is there or do i wipe first ?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
Not sure what recovery you are using, but don't things flashed from recovery have to be in the root directory of the sd drive?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Vandelay007:
I would make sure you know where the files are first before wiping anything

I have had no issues flashing zips from my download folder without having to move them with root explorer. Using rom manager - clockwork recovery mod

[Hero CDMA Android Development] Zin0:
Yeah. I really hope this works.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Vandelay007:
As long as you know where to navigate to with your trackball when you flash from zip you will be fine...always do a nandroid backup before flashing so you can always revert back as if you hadn't tried it yet

[Hero CDMA Android Development] Zin0:
I'm using the 1.5 recovery. But i have Eclair. Idk if there was a update for eclair or not, so.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Zin0:
Okay, so i run the update first, then the gapps ?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Vandelay007:
Flash cm6 then flash gapps then reboot

[Hero CDMA Android Development] Zin0:
So when do i wipe ?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] joehunni:
Jesus... read the OP.

Okay, i downloaded both of them on my phone. so when i click on the cm6 on the downloads menu, it has a option to look at it through es zip viewer. once i do that it has "boot.img". thats what it says, So i'm thinking you need something to read it ?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Zin0:
I got it. It's flashed. I just had to get rom manager :o But i noticed it only has 5 screens instead of 7.., can that be fixed o.o ? Also, is there a way to get like htc sense back ? Also, what about missing apps lke market & amazon mp3 , navagation etc. ?

[Hero CDMA Android Development] YoColdRain:
Thanks man, worked beautifully.

Also, anyone know how to install .apk(swype) from sd card without installing apps installer? I thought there was built in functionality with CM6 that allows .apk install.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] YoColdRain:
I just did it, it works. Put on SD card, go to recovery and install zip.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wingzfan:
Id bet you have the widgets and launcher pro installed on your sd card. If so thats why. Widgets and home replacements must be stored internally. Moving them back to phone wont fix it, you need to put app install back to auto and reinstall them.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mercado79:
i used the apks posted here and it worked perfectly:

Seems Froyos apps 2 sd is not nearly as efficient as Darks a2sd. One issue is I dont see a way to run the Dalvik cache from the sd card. Problem 2 is alot of private apps appear to only install internally for obvious reasons
[Hero CDMA Android Development] user7618:
1. Dl the necessary .zip files, which you have done.

2. Move the .zip files to the /sd card.

3. Reboot into recovery by powering off your phone, then hold down home button while pushing the red call end button.continue to hold home until the recovery screen appears.

4. Scroll down to backup/restore and click it with your track ball.

5. Make a nandroid backup.

6. Click on wipe and wipe data and dalvik.

7. Click on flash from sd card. Flash cm6, then flash gapps.

8. Click on reboot and enjoy.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
For market missing flash thegapps on the first page. To get 7 screens, go to your launcher settings and there should be a selectable option. And no there will never be HTC sense on this, its AOSP all the way :)

ADW has changed how you add screens. Click "menu", then "add" or "edit" (can't remember which). You should then be able to move, subtract or add homescreens. Takes a little figuring, but the ability to switch screens around makes it superior to the way in which ADW had worked in the past.

has anyone figured out how to disable the *86 voicemail notification yet? I still get it. I don't have any voicemail on the sprint service. The notification pops up every time you lose then regain service. It's easy to force this to happen. Just turn on airplane mode then turn it back off.

Go to settings, call settings and voicemail settings. Then, change your voicemail number from *86 to your number.

That does NOT disable the notification though. That just changes the notification to my phone number instead. The notification is wrong. I shouldn't have it at all.

No nightly for the 14th :(

The robot unicorn must have broke down.. :)

Anyway, just wanted to say thanks to everyone who is working on this. Keep it up..

I'm so glad I managed to do everything I need without ever really asking any questions. This forum explains 99 percent of what you need by searching or just taking the time to read posts. I knew zero about rooting and such until I came here. Now I can root, nandroid, flash roms and kernels, overclock, metamorph, custom lockscreens, dialers....I even learned how to flash android to a windows mobile device...list goes on....

My suggestion is just, read, read, read. Rest assured your questions have been answered already.

Is there any batery boosters for this ? Or any updated radios ?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Zin0:
Thanks. That helps
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
Here are different CDMA Hero radios:

http://geekfor.me/category/hero/radios/

Some will get you better reception and battery than others.

For better battery, there's various methods. You can collin_ph battery tweak that's posted on these forums, SetCPU to set clock speeds at various parts of the battery life, etc. Recalibrating is always a good idea as wlel.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Zin0:
So between this and Fresh-Toast, would this be better ? Even though i like the wallpapers on cm6, i kinda miss htc sense..and what would be the differences between the two, besides 2.1 & 2.2.. Also, is there a way to save the new ringtones on the sdcard, so if i decide to switch to another rom, i could keep them ?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
This is WAY better than Fresh-Toast, and it's way newer. Yes, you can save the ringtones, just download root explorer and copy and paste. As for sense, if you buy Launcher Pro Plus ($2.99 I believe) you get many sense-like widgets.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vita10gy:
Well, you've obviously tried CM6 and obviously didn't have the same experience, but for what it's worth I assumed I would miss sense, but with the nandroid process being so quick and painless I jumped from Fresh 2.3.3 to CM6 RC1 just to see it, and about 5 seconds in never thought about going back. When you see how fast the phone can be without the bloat (and how much more room there is on the phone) it's worth giving up Sense. Add to it the fact that I actually liked the way many things looked on Vanilla more anyway, and I was sold.

Sense brought a lot to the table when it was set to debut. Now a lot of things are done natively, or by other apps. (And I think, tough I might be wrong, google has made actual changes/improvements to the UI. I remember at the time the sense calendar, for example, being night and day to the awful looking android calendar, but the calendar in cm6 didn't look much different, other than the color scheme. But maybe I'm just not remembering correctly.)

The only thing I really missed was the HTC signature Clock/Weather widget, but as it turns out there are so many options for replacing that out there that you practically trip over them in the market.

This is what i did, purchased Launcher Pro and loving my Hero.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Atticustrd:
How could see which radio i have installed on my phone now?

And also, does the collin_ph battery tweak help and is it stable? Thanks..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
Just go to Settings, About Phone, and check the Baseband version (thats the radio).

The battery tweak is stable, and does its job well. I prefer SetCPU just because it's more customizable, but I used the tweak in the past, and was satisfied.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Atticustrd:
Can i use both? I'm using set cpu along with autokiller.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Vandelay007:
Using setcpu and auto killer is fine, but you don't want to use setcpu with the battery tweak, they will conflict

Best nightly so far?

What is the best nightly so far since RC1? I am suffering from GPS lock issues, slow unlock screen and general lagginess. Upon first install it was pretty snappy and unlock screen was instant, but GPS lock was always a aproblem with Google Nav. Phone has slowed very much since install and I would like to get it being awesome again!

I don't have 2 hours to read through the thread to see which nightly seems to have fixed these issues so if someone reads this and knows the answer it would be greatly appreciated.
