I have Radio_2.42.01.04.27 now and seem to have issues. Not sure if there is a newer one or not and how to update the radio on the Hero. I know how to do it in fastboot on the Nexus but not sure if this is different.

Throw the Sprint Nav app away... Use googles Nav App it has turn by turn directions and is by far a better application over all.

The Sprint Nav application never worked for me when I needed it... if I was lost, it was like the freaking app knew somehow and would give me bs error messages, but if I just wanted to see the distance to a location I already knew how to get to then it would somehow magically work.

I'm trying to flash Apps2SD RC3 over this and I'm running into an issue where I get stuck at white HTC screen. Anyone have a remedy? I moved all apps to internal storage and flashed and still get white screen lock. Do I need to flash Apps2SD with a fresh ROM flash?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] danbula:
Appreciate your response, but I have to stick with it. The google nav doesn't work in Puerto Rico yet :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jakejm79:
Yes all widgets, launcher replacements (launcher pro, etc) and certain system related apps (Keyboards) should be kept internally.

The problem (more so noticed with the Froyo implication of A2SD) is that the launcher/home screen will load before the FAT partition of the mSD has been fully initialized, there for since Froyo stores apps on the FAT partition they aren't always available at boot up.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] devonkosa:
Amazing!

This ROM is PERFECT! I am so glad that i decided to root my phone AGAIN! I have rooted it, and unrooted it tons of times, because nothing was stable enough, and there was too many problems that conflicted with what I found useful. But I have not found any problems with this ROM at all, so far, and I've been running for about 12 hours, and I can't put it down, because it's just a perfect ROM and it runs perfect on the Hero, so Sprint can suck it. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] asoong:
I second, ditto, and couldn't agree more... I'd also like to add these to the list. @daryelv - please feel free to edit to your taste...

For radio updates, go to http://geekfor.me/category/hero/radios/

To update your PRL/PRI: If you're currently on a sense rom, update first. If you're not, nandroid back (with a backup), update, then restore your 2.2 back up.

Search the original threads for your answers as well. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=722122 and http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/3377-cyanogenmod-600-for-cdma-hero-testing/

Use the quote/multi-quote when appropriate. Just posting 'I have the same problem too' doesn't add much value.

Flash 10.1 will not work for ARMv6 and FlashLite will not work without the HTC Framework.

Voice Mail Ghost Notification!

First of I want to say this is by far the best rom I have ever used... many thanks to Darch, the CM team and XDA for all your hard work!!

I have had this voice mail notification since I went to darch 2.8 I don't have vvm or google voice. I tried to call my voice mail and leave a message to see if the tricks it but it always comes back... at least now I can hit clear and remove it but then it always comes back on reboot.

Also will this Rom be manageable through Rom Mananger or CM Updater. I personally loved the why I could change my G1 on the fly with CM Updaters themes?

Great Job guys My Hero seems like a new phone... Suck it Sprint.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
I posted this in the CM6 Testing thread as well because I have experienced this problem both with RC1 and with the latest nightly. I was hoping someone could assist me ...

I am having issues with streaming Pandora and playing music from the stock player. It stutters like its struggling to catch up, and everyone has been talking about the stagefright audio problem, so I assumed that was it. Hence, I applied the stagefright audio fix (modifying the build.prop so that stagefright=false for the player) and rebooted, didn't help. I then modified the build.prop so that all 4 stagefrights (player, meta, http and something else) =false, rebooted, that didn't help. Is there another fix? I've done some searching to no avail, so if someone can help me I'd very much appreciate it.

P.S. This only occurs with headphones attached, when playing on the speaker it has no problem.

Edit: Complete idiocy was the problem. I enabled Compression in DSPManager, and that caused it. Sorry to take up thread space haha.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vita10gy:
You know, it's funny. I figured this was experimental, and that I'd miss sense, if for nothing else the look and feel and other polishing of stock android. None the less I thought I'd give it a try, cause with nand backups flopping is easy.

Any bugs I've noticed are minor. (I got a notification while listening to pandora and when the audio of that was done the music blasted for a half second.)

It's lightening fast. My first thought was wow the JIT does make a big difference, but that's disabled by default, so either 2.2 is a huge improvement, or Sense was adding a crapload of bloat, or both. (There's certainly a ton more free space.)

On top of everything else, I think I even like the way it looks better.

Nice work.

Also, to all the "I can't beleive a group of people can put out better stuff than companies", "Suck it sprint", etc people: 1) These places just employ people too. They don't employ people with superhuman programming abilities, nor is the volunteer pool generally only those that don't have an employable level of skills. Open source software is more often than not the better option. (I mean really, if you think about it, this sentiment is generally backwards. It's just as, if not more, valid to phrase it as "How can a company with limited programming resources like sprint realistically be expected to out do the entire modding community?")

2) Part of the reason android was such a big deal, and continues to be, is its openness. Phone companies could opt not to use it, and continue with the "almost every phone has it's own OS" approach, but opted not to. Obviously Sprint deserves no humanitarian awards for their great sacrifice, (and obviously they'd prefer we didn't have root) but it also seems somewhat silly to have an "in your face sprint" attitude because we were able to run an open source, purposely multi-platform OS, which was pretty much specifically created with this in mind.

Now if Sprint had refused to release anything but phones only running non descript homecooked OS's and someone was to pull off getting android running on one of those, that would be different.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Tipharet:
Yeah,

I dont thing having DSP enabled is an issue. I almost wonder if have DSP period is the problem. I have this same issue the music player slows my phone to a crawl. This happens with and without JIT. This has also happened with uncapped and normal kernel. I have not tried another music player.

Can anyone suggest a good one?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jakejm79:
Just want to say a huge congrats to Darch and the CM team.

I have everything working flawlessly other than the slightly quirky behavior of the gallery. Wireless Tether, GPS, MMS, No wake up lag, notification LEDs, Voice actions, everything works great. Super fast and stable.

Great job.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] weedman91:
ok so by far this is the best rom i have ever flashed. Im coming from the test 4 build and many of the bugs like the camera and lock screen lag have been fixed. I still have trouble with the gps locking on to my location and downloading mms. does any one know if there is fix for these two bugs? Also my facebook contacts aren't in my phone contacts like they were with my 2.1 roms, does anyone know how to sync them. I also downloaded the sprint vvm app and set my number to the default voicemail # but my voicemail is still not working. if i call voicemail it works but if someone calls me my voicelamail doesn't come up the phone call just ends or it says im not in service, anyone know how to get it to work.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PrO...:
how come i can't apply widgets for some apps(ie.Weather bug)?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] weedman91:
make sure your widgets are saved to internal storage or else it wont load.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Tipharet:
so new issue that has happened with some nightlies-- my phone wont wake up during phone calls I have to hit the endbutton and then of course that kills my call.

Any thoughts?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aven_soulgazer:
Well DZO was able to get android on the HTC touch which runs windows. I believe it was before the hero was released. Its hardware rather outdated still ran it decently. All the winmo phones running android since have come from his work.

The in your face sprint attitude comes from sprint saying that the hero couldn't run 2.2 and 2.1 would be the only update they would give us because of that
[Hero CDMA Android Development] davec1234:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] extxn72:
I would also add that the attitude for Sprint is for delaying, and delaying, then so royally screwing up the 2.1 update and refusing to fix what's broken in it (10+ second lag in calling direct dials, phone more sluggish than with 2.1), and generally abandoning the Hero less than a year after it came out.

As far as Sprint is concerned, this is a dead phone, but with the dev community, it's looking like it will be a viable option well into the future.

Thanks Darch this rom is freaking aweome

[Hero CDMA Android Development] heresy_fnord:
I had this tonight and finally figured it out.

Open up the default text messaging app. Start a new text and in the "To:" field press and hold until it asks you to change the touch input. Then pick the android keyboard. That will fix the problem.

Is there a way to get the Sprint voicemail onto my CY 6.0 Hero? (awesome rom by the way!)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] clutch_08:
i just flashed this rom and i cant find the market on my phone and i cant sycn my contacts. a little help
[Hero CDMA Android Development] t12icky0:
lol..thought the same thing...i just pushed the vending.apk & marketupdater.apk to my /system/app on my phone and then rebootedd. That way i didnt have to install the GOOGLE crap file.

So what you will need to do is get the vending.apk& marketupdater.apk and push it to your phone(while in SU adb). if ya need help with this just PM me and i can show you how to do it...it very easy.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] atr2701:
This is a great rom thanks for the hard work.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] xxproblemzxx:
Flash the gapps.

Yes I am using my Sprint Hero to upload this. Got a problem with it?!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] heresy_fnord:
I set every ROM up the same way and expect the same or similar results.

Exchange activesync set to 15 minutes

POP3 account syncing as well every 15 minutes

Facebook sync

GPS is always off (I have a GPS unit in my car)

gmail sync is off (who needs that when you have your own exchange server?)

I leave 3G on 24/7/365

I do take calls everyday. I get texts everyday. I check email everyday. Sometimes at work I turn wireless on because the signal is bad in the middle of the building.

With Stock 1.5, Stock 2.1, and several of the custom 2.1 ROMs here on XDA I always get a minimum of 12 hours unless I have been playing games or been on the phone all day. I sometimes get up to 24 hours on the weekends with limited use.

With 2.2 under the exact same conditions it just won't make it. I get 8 hours max and that's with the syncing turned on and basically not touching the phone. I've tried calibrating the battery, I've tried the collin battery tweak. I've wiped, I've reloaded many times, through many builds of 2.2. Nothing works for me. I want to love the ROM but to me something is broken with it. Either that or I'm starting to think that maybe the hardware really can't handle 2.2.

Everytime I bring up battery issues I get the same response. "turn off X thing". It's frustrating because you shouldn't have to do that. I have never had to do it before. You can't tell me to turn it off because you get 20 hours of 40 of 900 hours. I always run with the stuff above turned on and never have battery issues. I'm not doing anything out of the ordinary. To me out of the ordinary is being forced to turn everything always. What good is having it if I can't use it?

:(

By the way, before any goes off on me for not being appreciative of the free work these guys are putting into the ROM, I do appreciate what everyone is doing. All I can say is it isn't working (yet) and I don't know why, but I am open to ideas that don't involve shutting everything off and making the phone useless.

I'll even run tests or pull logs if someone tells me what to do.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tobiasly:
Exactly. It's one thing to say "due to limited resources we are no longer able to offer updates for this phone" which would be true. But they say it's not possible and the community shows that it not only is, but the result is better than what they came up with.

The official 2.1 update was atrocious. The lag would sometimes be A MINUTE between when I clicked a contact phone number & when the phone would dial. Then I'd click again and it would call them twice and put the first line on hold. Ridiculous.

If only they would make all the Sense bloat and useless NASCAR apps and everything else optional and removable it might be OK but they think they need to "differentiate" themselves with this junk. Please keep it. I really wish the N1 model of letting customers buy just a plain unlocked Android phone direct from Google would have taken off, I'd love to have Sprint's calling plans with a phone that gets updated in a reasonable timeframe.

Anyway it's a bit of a pointless discussion so no matter, thanks again Darchstar & Cyanogen for your hard work.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tobiasly:
You only had a 10-second lag making calls?? I'm jealous! :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bboymickey:
first off I love the ROM but I can't send an MMS. No big deal because before I flashed it I did a nandroid backup of my stock ROM but when I tried to restore it, my backup wasn't there so I decided to do some investigating. I mounted the sd card and found the back up and then found the backup of CM6 and I put the stock ROM into the same folder but then I received an missmatch error when I tried to restore it after that. Can someone help me restore back?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aven_soulgazer:
Heresy_fnord, I am the exact opposite. Never got more than a half a day or so of battery use before 2.2. With rc1 I've gotten a full day of use.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tobiasly:
I'm still putting this through the paces and this is my first custom ROM but I will say that so far battery life seems to be pretty bad for me. Just having the phone sit around for a couple hours dropped it to 80%. Just flashed uncapped kernel so we'll see how that changes things. Haven't tried collin tweak yet.

I also recalibrated the battery according to directions on CryanogenMod wiki. Does someone have a link to more info on what exactly this does? Also when after I fully drain the battery it says recharge to full, should the phone be off while recharging? Does it matter how quickly I discharge the battery? (I was listening to Pandora much of the time). Again I'm only talking about during the recalibration process.

I also notice that in Battery Usage it almost always shows Display as the biggest usage (usually just under half). This used to be Cell Standby & Android System as the highest under 2.1. Should I make anything of this?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] leeoniya:
well, after 2 days of CM6 RC1 on her Sprint Hero, my gf said her battery didn't last even a full work day. coming off a stock unrooted 2.1, she was getting 1.5 or almost 2 days with light usage.

though...her work conditions might be slightly different since she switched clinics and states, (maybe less signal etc) so to be fair i'm flashing Fresh 2.3.3 tonight and seeing how it does in the same environment and will report back later.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mdsj:
I don't know what people are doing with their phones but I am a heavy user and I get about 16 hours of use on this rom. When I go to plug my phone in at night at about 10pm I still have about 30% left.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ItsDon:
Me as well. If you can ween yourself from the widgets and have certain apps (ahem Facebook, Twitter) only update every couple hours (instead of minutes) the Hero is more than capable of delivering a full days worth of use.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] n388mm:
unplugged this morning at 720a at 100% battery. heavy usage throughout the day (facebook, gmail, web, texting, calling, and meebo) and it is now almost 1120p at i have 40% battery left.

now that is awesome

If I want to go to this rom from Darch 2.8 will I need to re flash collins battery tweak and the black 1.3 signed theme ?

I assume I would have to do both since I would assume I have to wipe before flashing this rom ?

Flashed rc1 over a fully wiped darch 2.8 prl 60669 or w/e and latest radio. Havnt done any kernel or battery tweaks

If by froyo a2sd you mean the native then you have nothing on ext so do a standard nandroid. Worked for me. I then installed a2sd.zip because I prefer it so I don't have to have widgets stored on phone. Then it allows a nand + ext if you install a2sd.

I am seriously in LOVE with this rom! The only thing I was fighting with was my sprint visual voicemail, but found that I could get my sprint # to forward to my google voice account when calls were "missed" instead... far better than the Sprint Visual voicemail anyday... and gets rid of the pesky 9016 texts I was getting.

And i'm sooooo glad to be done with the SenseUI :)

Big Thanks & issues with Battery and Flickr... 8/19/10 Nightly

Total newbie here. First I want to thank everyone in this community, above all Darch, as well as Regaw, whose recent 2.1 rooting guide was my gateway to this project of reviving my HERO200.

I installed the 8.19 nightly and can verify that the reported wake lag is NOT an issue for me.

I did not flash a different kernel. Turned on JIT and added the Overclock Widget. I am so pleased with the overall speed of my device now -- however, I do have moments of lag, namely when opening programs or creating shortcuts. I am also not thrilled with my battery life so far. 5 hours unplugged brought the battery down to 52% (overnight, mobile network connected).

My main concern, though, is this: how can I get Flickr integration (the kind we had on stock 1.5-2.1)? I know that this question was raised previously in the thread [ROM] Cyanogenmod 6.0.0 Testing For Hero CDMA -- but there was no answer.
