HTC Hero Maintenance Release 2.32.651.2

Just read that Sprint is releasing a maintenance update today. I have a faint recollection that I disabled updates when I rooted my Hero a few weeks ago. Anything else need to be done to preclude damage to my CM6.1 Hero?

Thanks in advance

[Hero CDMA Android Development] xDragod:
If you're on CM6.x, You won't get updates OTA.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] CrashV2010:
Why would the update have a lower number then the current one.....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Zin0:
Hey everyone. I'm having some difficulty trying to flash the new nightlies like 131 and 132. Once i flash one of them, i flash the cm hero gold nightly 99. Then i reboot the phone and i get to the part when it has the penguin with the guns and under it, it says loading 2.2. It freezes while the letters are typing. Then the screen dims and it still freezes. Then t lights back up again and freezes. Goes from fast text to frozen text. Any help on this?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] user7618:
Apparently, the theme hasn't been updated to those nightlies yet. Until Impaler does, there is no fix.

Yup, no time right now to do it though :o

Sprint updates don't apply to CM... they're still on 2.1, we're on 2.2 :)

Why is it that with any cm rom my ui is so sluggish but with aospmod its smooth...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] BlaqkAudio:
What launcher does AOSPmod use? CM6 uses ADW, which, in my experience, is quite sluggish. I use LauncherPro Plus.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Adw on my themes is very fast since its optimized

No Voicemail!

So for the past few months that I've been using cm6, I've had to put up with the fact that Google Voice didn't work all that well or even at all. I just used Sprint Visual Voicemail with the hopes that GV would work in the future. After asking on here if it did work with the latest release, I got the answer that yes indeed, it does now. But it doesn't. At least, not for me. When I go my call settings and try to change the configuration to use GV, it tells me to call some number (which is the wrong number, btw) in order to work properly. I've tried that and it did nothing.

After searching for help, I found this helpful link. I did everything it says there but STILL nothing. Screw it. I'm at the point now where I'll settle for Sprint's vm app. Problem there, now that's not working. All callers get when I don't answer is a female voice saying "The call could not be completed. Please try again later."

Please. Anyone? Does anyone know how to either get GV working properly or even how to just get the Sprint vm to work. I've even tried flashing the ROM again but nope, nothing. Any help would be

greatly

appreciated.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
Haven't used GV, but for VVM, did you change the voicemail number to your number in Call Settings?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dtom2444:
Yes changed it but that didn't fix it. Still get the same error.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hauntedchild:
So you did the whole *28xxxxxxxxxx (replace the x’s with your GV number) thing? Also I have noticed when it transfers the call it adds a few more rings before picking it up. Seems like it took about 8-10 rings for me. I don't actually use my google number so I changed the setting to send calls straight to voicemail which helped.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
That is correct, these need to be done before you can use gv ;)

Sent from my hero running froyo... take that Sprint!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mysticalpotato:
I thought the same thing.

The new release number is actually higher:

Old: 2.31.651.7

Update: 2.32.651.2

:D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
What update are we talking about?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] heresy_fnord:
Good luck. I have tested out two of the three 2.2 ROMs on here over different times and something is wrong with syncing more than one account and exchange at the same time. I have not tried the "Sense 2.2.1" that is being developed now but this has been my finding:

Syncing only exchange and nothing else at all seems to be ok (you can't sync gmail, or any POP3 accounts). The battery life is not great but the phone doesn't keep the 3G signal on and it lasts around 10 hours maybe.

Sync any account with exchange and the 3G signal is on constantly and the phone dies in like 4 hours and it gets hot from constant use. It does not matter if you sync exchange first, then another account or if you sync another account followed by exchange. The phone will tank every time.

JIT on or off does not matter.

Overclock utilities make no difference

Colins batterymod (which just stair-steps the overclocking down with battery life) does not make a difference

The fact that it is not ROM dependent makes me think there is something built into to 2.2 that will continually cause this issue. Maybe it's the 2.2 email app and maybe, just maybe, the Sense 2.2.1 that is being developed won't have this issue. Maybe the Sense app is better? That's your only hope I think.

Either that or give up on the Hero and move on to a more powerful phone. I know I am sooner than later.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dmm5157:
Odd, I am running CM RC6.1 and haven't had any problems with syncing Gmail + my Exchange e-mail/calendar. I have my exchange account set to push and my e-mails/calendar updates instantly. On an average day, my phone is at around 40-45% when I put it on the charger at night after 13-14 hours off the charger.

I have never experienced problems with Exchange accounts like you are describing with any of the CM6 or 6.1 releases. I Don't think it's 2.2 related, maybe it's a conflict with your particular account settings?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bravo1565:
Hey Impaler I believe there talking about the recent update sprint just came out with I heard it was a maintenance update don't what difference is
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Doesn't matter to CM users ;) They're still on 2.1, we're on 2.2, but if you want to know it was just some bug fixes
[Hero CDMA Android Development] heresy_fnord:
I hear this and all it does is frustrate me. I am not using any special settings. I log into google (for the market) using my gmail account. I log into my exchange server (2003, ssl, but basically default settings) and the phone fries and burns through battery.

I'm not the only one with this issue as the I was originally quoting someone else with the same problem. I have seen multiple people with their phone dying with exchange. I know it's exchange related, I'm just not sure what it is.

Maybe yours works because of the way you configure it...

I turn my google sync off completely and my exchange is set to 15 minutes (I've never hard luck with push working as it stops working after a while.) I also have a POP3 account I have to sync but I've never gotten far enough along on one day to try to get all 3 accounts setup.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dmm5157:
I'm not very familiar with how our phones interact with Exchange servers, but is it possible it is your actual e-mail account that is conflicting with your phone? Not necessarily your settings, but something with your e-mail.

There aren't a lot of settings to tweak, but I've never had problems with setting up my Exchange e-mail address, in any version of Android. It's a shame people are having problems with it. 2.2 is a lot easier on my battery than other ROMS were.

Maybe it's because I've gotten used to my phone but I can't shake the feeling that it's far far too sluggish once again. I feel like I'm constantly waiting on my phone to open this or that. Any suggestions?

I flashed 6.0.1 RC1 and Battery Tweak 2.2 last week. I've turned off all animations and I left screen rotation on even though it's terrible.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Turn JIT off, make sure you don't have set CPU or OC widget, bump VM heap up to 24 or 32 :D

I am using app brain. When you do a wipe just reinstall app brain. It will list all the apps you had installed then you just tell it to install all and it will go to the market and prompt you one by one to install.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gsxd14e7:
this works so legit. used universalAndROOt 1.6.1 to root and bammm, donezo, I installed the rom with ROMmanager.... so so easy.

everything works. I figured out the gallery problem was because the SD card had to have the DCMI folder wiped before the rom inst.

If i have sprint ( obviously ) how do i install SPRINT TV AND NAV back on?

andddddddd..... how can i install flash? maybe even skype?

other than that, you guys kick ass, thanks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] borhaj:
I've been getting this eror even after I wiped 2 times and installed it fresh ( the application --it's written in chinese-- (process com.android.inputmethod.pinyin) has stopped unexpectedly please try again... force close

I need some help...I had to wipe everything and start all over...for some reason I don't have the digital clock that was included with the rom the first time I flashed it...it was in the widgets list...does anyone know where I can get that from?

Use rom manager to fix permissions and see if that helps

Sent from my HTC Hero running froyo: take that, Sprint!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jakejm79:
Yes that is right, everything else is more efficient (cell standby, android OS, etc) in Froyo the screen is still the same hog. If you make a 1/2 hour phone call with the screen off, you probably see that phone is using like 40% and the screen is back down in the 20% range. As long as your battery life is adequate then dont worry about it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vetvito:
Just drag what you want over and drop it on top of what you want to replace.

a2sd

sorry for the noobness of this question. do I need to reformat my sd card for 2.2. If my sd card is already ext 2 and ext 3 can I leave that?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] borhaj:
wow the 8.18 built is awesome. it seems a lot smoother and extremely fast and everything just works even google goggle works fine. there is that weird bug in gallery tho but as long as it's vertical it's good.

no lock screen lag either so far...

love it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] borhaj:
you don't have to format it, but make sure you wipe your sd extension (if first time) before you flash and there is no need for extension in froyo because of new ap2sd method as far as I know.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] borhaj:
I don't see and remember seeing a digital clock on this rom. simply install one from the market, there are bunch of free ones or get beautiful widget

[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
What is the gold 98 nightly?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
I was thinking he was running the 98 nightly with the gold theme. Definitely should get on something much newer than that.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Yeah, I agree... either RC 6.1.0 or a newer nightly with Impaled Gold
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Zin0:
I originally have nightly 129. For the gold theme however, in using the cm gold nightly 98.

Never-mind... I believe it somehow got corrupted. After I did the update to 6.1 it said it remembered my SSID although it would just cycle from scanning to obtaining IP.
