I would just flash the rom over itself again, no wipe
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
I think that was a problem with 9/18, I'd just flash a different nightly

Haha, I did/said that above :). Its ok I'm in process of redoing it all again with complete wipe. Thx

[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Sorry about that, as someone above your post said, that was a flaw with the nightly.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Tipharet:
Man, I just dont understand. Ever since flashing this ROM my phone has been performing terribly. Basically if I try to nandroid back or flash another 2.2 ROM the performance is bad but with a Sense ROM its where I would expect it to be. Even AOSP mod .3 runs badly on my device and it all started when I flashed the official release. I had been running nightlies for a while with no issues.

Make sure you allow autorotation, I've heard that if you disable it it slows down your phone.

Gmail Update

I saw there is a new Gmail in the market, but when I try to update it says the update was "unsuccessful." Is there a way I can get the new Gmail update? Thanks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Use titanium backup to uninstall your current gmail app, and then reboot. Install from the market should work when you try again after that :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] lanstyle:
Worked like a charm. Thanks!

i'll keep an eye out for your posting on the long way around. thanks in advance!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Ok, well then this is the next option:

Download fresh 2. 4. 0

Boot into recovery

Nandroid cm6

Wipe, and flash fresh rom

Boot up, and get a gps lock with maps

Leave the gps running for a few minutes, make sure the lock is accurate

Reboot into recovey

Nandroid back

Gps should work after this! Let me know how it goes if you do it, everyone that's done it so far has had gps working at the end :)

I'm going to upgrade from earlier CM6, but I have a question about Nandroid.

I can do a regular Nand backup but when I backup Nand + Ext I get:

error run 'nandroid-mobile.sh' via adb

Can I ignore this? Is that for people that use Apps2SD? My understanding is Apps2SD is now built in by default, but I never ran out of room or manually moved anything to SD card. The phone is fully charged so it is not that.

Can't update or install from Market

First time I've had this issue, after weeks of having this ROM. Not a nightly, but full CM 6.

If I try to install a new app from the market, I get an installation error "Unknown reason -18"

If I try to update an app from the market, it downloads and then says the installation was unsuccessful. I've tried installing to sd, internal, changed the kernel, nothing changes the problem except when I uninstall the app via Titanium and reinstall from the market.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
If you don't run a2sd, just do a nandroid backup, not a nandroid+ext. And yes, a2sd is built in on froyo, and it uses fat32 not ext4 now :)

whats the gps "status trick"? also, i see that darch hasnt made an update on his github since 9/18 but yet there are nightlies still being created, any thoughts on why that is? are you on any better, as you see it, nightly right now? i, and my wife are on 9/18 with me on #8 deca kernal and hers on #14. thx. donation was sent btw.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Download gps status from the market. Go into settings, gps configuration, A-gps state. Then reset your cache and download their fix. I'm on the stable version, its more secure than the nightlies imho. Thank you again for the donation :)

[Hero CDMA Android Development] itrackit:
So ur on 9/18 as well? U meant the phones cache?

sent: cdma Hero cm6
[Hero CDMA Android Development] squigglyrulez:
Not the phones cache, inside the GPS Status program there is a clear cache there. That cache is just for the GPS location information.

Load GPS Status

go to...

menu, settings, gps & sensors, manage a-gps state

that is the reset he is referring to, as well as the download afterwards
[Hero CDMA Android Development] krazeejb:
The only problem with that is you need a data (i.e. WiFi connection). Am I correct in that? So if you need to reset it and you don't have Wifi, you're out of luck.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vita10gy:
No, you just need a data connection period. As far as I know AGPS works with the towers and whatnot anyway, so even if you could somehow update that in the middle of no where, it wouldn't help you.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] user7618:
I did it last night on my 3g connection on the roof at work. You do not need a wifi connection.

Sent from my CDMA Hero. I got some hot Froyo on Hero action here!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] squigglyrulez:
It needs a data connection to download the updates, wifi or 3g, doesnt matter which.

i just did the reset only, which worked fine for me.

The download assistance is just extra help for gps locking in addition to the standard gps locking methods. You can still get gps lock without the download updates.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] krazeejb:
Ah ok. I guess the message, "it will download once there is a data connection" confused me thinking it was not downloading unless I had wi-fi. I thought that was strange :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
I'm on the 9/18, yes, but as for the cache, you wipe the gps cache via gps status :)

Still failing today. Here's my original post:

If I try to install a new app from the market, I get an installation error "Unknown reason -18"

If I try to update an app from the market, it downloads and then says the installation was unsuccessful. I've tried installing to sd, internal, changed the kernel, nothing changes the problem except when I uninstall the app via Titanium and reinstall from the market.

Here's my setup:

CM--Hereoc

uncapped Decadence kernel #14

It's probably relevant to add that Google Apps (9/17) keeps FC when I'm in the market as well. I tried reinstalling Gapps but it didn't help.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] user7618:
Try signing into google voice. Idk, but I was having market issues and signing in, even though I didn't have a gv account solved it. If that doesn't work, you may be looking at a full wipe and reinstall.

Loaded the 9/26 BFS kernel on this, and runs good. However, my SetCPU is acting up. After a reboot, SetCPU loses its settings and thinks it needs to be set up all over again. Then the device detection sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. It takes a few times to recognize anything above 524. Anyone else see any problems?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] debh945:
I had the same issues with Set CPU and switched to Deca's customized battery tweak (with no Set CPU and No OC Widget) and so far I haven't had any problems. I'm also using the 9/26 BFS Kernel.

Anyone having an issue with email not syncing when using an Exchange account?

I'm not sure whether it's a CM issue or an Android AOSP issue, but my email seems to just stop syncing, and it wont update until i reboot the phone.

I've tried enabling/disabling airplane mode and even enabling WiFi but nothing but a reboot seems to get it going again.

it's been fixed in the 9/27 nightly build if you want to give that a try. it's a known issue even with cm6 stable.

You hold down the home key while pressing the power and menu buttons while your phone is off....or, as I prefer, download quickboot from the market and you can boot into recovery that way

Turn phone off, hold volume down + menu + power

[Hero CDMA Android Development] Greefus:
Thanks for the quick reply. I was getting this for a while every time I've did a nandroid backup, but whenever I searched all I could find was people saying you need to fully charge the battery.

It says I have 18.35 MB left on internal storage I guess it's much leaner not having Sense and I tend to just delete stuff I don't like, but I've never deleted for lack of space like I had to do when using Sense or older roms where I had to do partitioning for Apps2SD.

I'm just amazed I never ran out of space since I feel like i've loaded up a lot more apps on Froyo/CM6 without Sense but never reached my storage limit. I figured stuff was automatically going on Apps2SD since I remember partitioning it a long time ago.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] elessarelfstar:
Something I'm still curious about is the difference in smoothness between cm6 for heroc and the mytouch slide 2.7 Rom. Perhaps im not using the right kernel or something, but for me the slide Ron just runs smooth(er). Significantly. I'm using 2.7, with the 691 honeybun uv2 kernel for sense (yeah I tried the newer stuff, but this still works best for me). I have all the sense apps that can be deleted and am using launcherpro. I'm using autokiller at 30,35,40, and autostart.

With this setup everything runs very fast (including no keyboard lag at all... in pretty much any app... even almost none in the browser). Is something I'm missing that could make cm6 like this or is it just not there yet?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Vandelay007:
If space is becoming an issue for you, I would check out firerats custom mtd modification, its amazing!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ItsDon:
I agree with you here. ZenEXP is the smoothest rom I've ever run on my Hero. I keep it as my back up. That said, Froyo has won me over. It just does so much more than than 2.1 and the battery lasts forever. I can't wait to try a Froyo Sense rom if one ever shows up.

DSP Manager

While I did not read through all of the posts in this, I did do a quick search to see if anyone had the same issue I had with the DSP Manager... my search attempts did not return any results so here goes...

I actually just noticed the DSP Manager the other day and decided to enable it and listen to some music that I had on my phone (SD Card) and also using the Subsonic App (subsonic.org)... I had the problem occur once using both...

In DSP Manager > Headset > I had the Equalizer Enabled > Virtual Room Effect Enabled & set to Studio

The problem stopped when I disabled ALL things enabled in the DSP Manager

The Problem??

So i'm sitting at work minding my own business, just jammin' out to some random songs, then all of the sudden "EREERAEAARERJEAREAE" The loudest most god awful noise in the world starts blasting out of the headphones, so loud in fact that it left my ears ringing, made my heart jump out of my chest, and i also **** a little in my pants. People across the office were wondering what that noise was (the phone noise, not the ****ting noise). The high pitched phone noise started because the "Low Battery" noise tried to sound on the phone. The next time it happened was when one song ended and the next one began.

Im using a Sprint Hero CDMA with this Cyanogen ROM

Just letting someone know! Keep up the good work on the ROM's
[Hero CDMA Android Development] BlaqkAudio:
Do you have Quickboot installed? I only noticed this option after installing Quickboot, but then again, I might not have been paying attention.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:

Whoa, holy crappy battery life all of a suddden.

with RC1 I was running what I'd call a somewhat ok battery life. Flashed over to 6.0.0 and charged all night, left for work at 6:30am, its now 2:45 and I'm at 40%. On the last build I'd still have 70+

I've barely touched my phone today other than checking a couple texts on breaks.

Suggestions for optimizing battery life on this rom?

Stats from "about phone" in settings:

Cell standby 22%

Phone Idle 20%

Android System 7%

Facebook 2%
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Vandelay007:
Are you using anything like setcpu or the overclock widget?

If not, I sugguest you use setcpu

748 Max, 691 min set to ondemand

Set screen off to 352 Max, 245 min and choose powersave priority 100%
[Hero CDMA Android Development] SweepinJR:
No this is just the rom installed, no extras. I'll try it tho, havent touched the phone since I last posted and I'm down to 36%

SetCPU doesn't let me set the max that high...691 is as high as it goes. I did create a screen off profile and set it as you said...should that one be ondemand as well?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] madeSICC:
Change it to powersave.

Just a side note. If you ever listen to Pandora and you have the screen off setting turn on, when the screen turns off the music will get really choppy. So just untick it if you listen. Not sure it does that on regular music

Whats the different from the nightly, and the 9/18/09 posted on the 1st post?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
Not to nitpick, but choosing a max/min with powersave is pointless. Powersave will always use whatever you set as the min level, so it will always be 245. Its like if you choose performance it will always remain at your max setting. Only will scaled governors like ondemand, interactive, and conservative scale between the min/max setting.

Personally, 352 max regardless of scaling will conserve battery. If you REALLY want to keep it low, just set it to 245/245, or 352/245 on conservative governor.
