I just want to say i have loaded tons of various roms since 1.5.. CM6 is by far the best.

-It's Faster

-Snappy

-Battery Time.. I'll just say i use this phone ALL day..GPS/Wifi.. 8 hours after work i'm at 40%... NICE

only thing is sometimes there is something u don't like about it..

-its just different that's all..

Some bugs i have found and researched work arounds for.. this is intended so people don't have to search all over.

1.GPS works, but Sprint Nav constantly says"Unable to get gps signal.,*ding-ding* you now have gps signal..... Workaround: Use Google nav.. and turn speech speed up a notch so she doesn't sound retarded.

2.Text message when getting voice mail... Workaround: Use handsent sms and blacklist it, also disable all notifications in the stock messaging app.

3.Quick dial using keypad from sense ui not in asop.. Workaround: get used to it, dialer is way faster.. try dialer1.. i didn't like it.

Very nice work on the build... props to devs..

This is a great DAILY USE ROM..

Edit: and Hello XDA.. i read alot i'm just quite Search button is AWESOME

I got it. Thank you.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] huedawg:
Only real serious issue I have found with it is when you use the camera or recorder for awhile, the phone wants to keep rebooting . I noticed this the other day at my sons football game .
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chinkster:
this is exactly what i am experiencing right now. i just updated my recovery to AMON RA 1.7, wiped everything and flashed CM6 along with GAPPS and 9/14 UNCAPPED KERNEL. when i logged into my google account, it automatically redownloaded and installed on my all except the ones i manually push myself. its running smoooth so far. the ones i manually push myself are: root explorer, wireless tether 1.60, shazam app, movies app, sprint VVM app, and black audio widget app. i was thinking it might be the apps that is causing it to lag like a mofo. i'll leave it for a day or two first and see how it goes without manually pushing the apps. the reason why i manually push shazam, movies is because i have the old version where they don't have any ads

[Hero CDMA Android Development] cirehawk:
I'm going to give #8 BFS a try. I noticed there is one version that wipes cache and another version that doesn't. Any recommendation on which one is better? Or does it matter?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
I don't think it really matters... I would do the wipe cache just to make sure you don't have any issues, just be aware that the first boot will be about 10 minutes if you choose the wipe cache version.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cirehawk:
Thanks. I've been rooted and flashing roms for months now, so I know it can take a while to boot sometimes. :) I'll post my results later.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Ok let me know how it goes, and FYI I wan't trying to insult your android intelligence, I just wanted to make sure I mentioned everything for someone new who might read this post :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chinkster:
Does flashing cm6 with a different recovery have a difference? Seems like after I updated my RA to Amon 1.7 and flashed cm6, the lag isn't there anymore. But then again I haven't pushed any of my old version apps. Is it possible that some older version apps aren't compatible with froyo and that's what caused my phone to lag??
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dpeeps74:
I'm still on 1. 5 recoveryand my phone runs fine. No lag at all unless I let cache get around 10 mb. The hero does seem pretty peculiar in terms of what works for one phone and not another. I don't have any special tweak or kernels installed, just the cm 6 stable and a theme.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hotaru:
i'd recommend just using the no cache wipe one and wiping the dalvik cache when you flash it. it's just dalvik cache that needs wiped, and wiping just dalvik cache is a lot faster than wiping the whole cache partition.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dpeeps74:
Also, I am on cm6 stable and I don't have the long press back option either, impaler. I think Android just installs what it wants to.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
I know right? It's kind of goofy how we don't have that option :p
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dpeeps74:
I've seen it with other options too while flashing nightlies. Flashing the nightlies in different orders made my phone do different stuff.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] nspot:
Tried this and it did the trick. Not quite sure why simply a system wipe and re-flash would not suffice.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chinkster:
What the hell I think using a different recovery does matter cuz it's hasn't been lagging at all since I wiped and reflashed with RA 1.7
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Escanor2010:
Which RA 1.7 version are you using? I didnt think 1.7 worked on the sprint hero.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bbostich:
So im using an app called Goto. Its a lockscreen replacement kinada thing. So the question I have is, what steps do I need to take to remove the reg lockscreen? I have tried just disabling it via the settings widget but still pops up. I would prefer if it was some form of flashable zip. But no matter what I need it to be 100% gone please.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chinkster:
i'm using the one that darch recommended when he released DDv2.8. here is the link to dl the AMON RA 1.7
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chinkster:
NEVERMIND, it seems like the lag has came back!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chinkster:
impaler, my phone just started to bog down again...i did what you asked above but the damn screen on terminal emulator keeps going down and down...do i have to take alllllll those screen shots or just the first one?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chinkster:
ok....now it is back to smoooth...what the hell......
[Hero CDMA Android Development] feefeeboomboom:
I noticed the lag anomaly using number #14 stable kernel or overclock widget. But I may be way off.

You can also do something like

Then open t.txt off your sd card. Then you can see everything and only copy the first however many you feel like it lines.

I just flashed this rom this morning, pretty awesome so far. The only thing i cant seem to get is the live wallpapers. Ive tried a couple from the market but when i try to apply them it just retuns to the previous cm wallpaper that was on. The gmaps livewallpaper did work though. I dont think i will use a live wallpaper permanently but i did want to see it in action. What to do?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wardfan220:
That's basically because this phone isn't powerful enough to handle big LW. Some will work, most want, its not the ROM its the phone.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] revcp:
Check early posts. can't use lw with this rom without modding it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] madeSICC:
Thanks for the info guys, one other question. I used my phone as a usb storage and when i rebooted my phone all of my widgets that i had now wont work and they dont appear on the widgets menu. im assuming that because of the a2sd but not sure on how to get them back up.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] goodelyfe:
what kernels are everybody using?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] revcp:
Reinstall or move over to phone with froyo native a2sd.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] madeSICC:
Thanks i just reinstalled. Do you guys have any problems with handcent FC all the time? I did the alltel sms fix but it still keeps Closing. The message app that came with the rom works fine though, i just like handcent more.

If you are experiencing lag...

For those experiencing lag, is your auto-rotate on or off? Some people have reported a renegade process chewing up CPU cycles that is related to the compass when auto rotate is off.

I was getting a noticible lag as time went by with RC 1, but have not had any lag issues since switching to CM 6.0.0 stable (but I have auto-rotate enabled).

[Hero CDMA Android Development] staticchmbr:
i did a nandroid backup, wipe, then loaded the zip. when i start my phone up, it never goes to the activation screen. i tried a hard reset (home, back, power), but it still doesnt work. there is also no screen to update the data profile. the ##msl code# doesnt work, and neither does a ##3282# or ##786#. where do i go from here?

also, when i tried to wipe the dalvik, i got a error code that says

Run 'wipe dalvik' via adb!

what am i doing wrong? i bought the phone off a friend that already had it rooted. should i load a sprint oem ruu, and start over?

[Hero CDMA Android Development] usfslacker:
Just checking to see what the community is seeing so far, but this ROM is supposed to have a HUGE shift from the way battery usage stats are displayed from all previous roms right? On Darch2.8 I'd be running with 50% Cell Standby, 38% Idle and 12% display and now I've got 18 different things on there (apps I've been using) with standby and idle at less than 10% each with Display eating up a whopping 60% of total usage.

I haven't been using the phone THAT much more than usual, is this a normal observation specific to the new rom/froyo itself?

Try and plug it into your charger and then wipe while plugged in. Sounds weird but it works.

power off. then hold the home button and power button till the phone starts to boot and ti'll take you to recovery

On another note, am i doing something wrong? No matter what i do i cant get the football app to work. I've wiped, pushed, installed, I've done everything. The link from the text msg says that its not available for my device...i have no idea whats wrong and its starting to get on my nerves:confused:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dpeeps74:
I just wish the trackball notification would work besides just in the test. Red works fine for the led. Does setting to white work for anyone? I may consider a wipe for just this 1 small thing if it's working for some.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Tungst5n:
I tried holding the power and home button when powering back up. Turns out with this CM ROM there's an option in settings to reboot into Recovery instead. Thanks though!

It probably won't activate, as this doesn't even have the signature of the hero.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cirehawk:
I have something wierd going on with my wifi tether app. I'm running version 1.60 (I could never get any other version to work) with the official CM6 release, but it also started happening when I was running nightlies. Here is what happens. When I start the app, I get the following message:

"Sorry, but root privileges are needed to run this application"

I get the option to override or close, and when I choose override the app starts normally. When I start tethering I can see the router and seemingly connect to it, but no data is passed. If I go into the manage applications section of the android settings, clear data/cache for the tether app and start the app again, it will pass data (although I still get the root privileges needed message). However, once I quit the app and try it later, I get the same issue of not passing any data.

Anyone have an idea what might be going on? This issue only started happening in the last 2 or 3 weeks. I saw a post a while back stating that wifi information on your phone is somehow being backed up to google, which must be the case because even after a wipe and re-flash, once I enable wifi my Hero will connect to my home router and pull an IP address (no need to configure WEP). Is it possible some bad configuration settings are being stored somewhere? Oh yeah, another interesting thing. I let a couple co-workers connect to my hotspot sometimes. Now, even when I don't have wifi tether running, they see my hotspot as available AND they show as being connected.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Try flashing the attached zip from recovery... sounds to me like you broke your su permissions somehow.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cirehawk:
Thanks. I had the same thought about my permissions getting screwed up, but none of the other apps I have that require root permissions are having a problem. I'll flash your attached file and let you know what happens.

Running what is called RC2 & #14 kernal with setcpu

So far the rom is more stable than the 8/31 nightly which was on the phone, only problem with that rom was a few fc after bootup. This rom is smoother. Battery seems decent, maybe similar to the 8/27 kernal with the batt tweak.

I disabled the bottom lights around the trackball in all lumen settings. Also lowered the brightness on all lumen levels to a minimum which has help alot with battery.

In set cpu:

General 595/245 on demand

Profiles:

Charging/full 691-245

Temp 352/245

Battery >80% 352/245 <-- only testing this

Screen Off 352/245

Test these settings for a day then maybe change the battery lev maybe from >80 to >60 to 352/245 and let it run at 595 until it hits 60%

Also running Advanced Task Killer in safe mode with kill on screen off.

Leaving the sounds off saves battery since I am not turning the display on every few minutes to view a message. This works since for whatever reason multimedia ring tones (any non phone call ringtone) can not be silenced by pressing the up volume button, either have to view the text message to shut it off or let it play for 15-30 seconds..found this in the Sprint rom & non carrier roms.

The Airave is only working during a phone call. During a call -47db signal and in standby -90/-100. This is another reason I have set cpu turned down because I am willingly compromising performance for battery in a low coverage area. The Airwave should stay connected to the phone in standby and give a constant signal instead of reverting to the cell towers when not in a call.

Phone has been unplugged for 4 hours and at 97% with a few short calls, emails and texts. See if this is a fluke or if this is normal by tomorrow using 595/245.

Overall the roms are 100% better than Sprints! Thx!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] feefeeboomboom:
Also if you turn location off I can verify the the systems loops the compass process over and over causing CPU strain.

Update on this. GPS locks are actually incredibly quick and accurate (within 8m) outdoors. According to GPS Status, I was able to get a lock in 2 seconds with 9 satellites. I guess my dorm is made out of materials that interfere with the signal :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chinkster:
im gonna try this and see what happens!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cirehawk:
So far, flashing the file you gave me seems to have worked. I started and stopped wifi tether a few times and permissions were good. I was also passing data with no problems. I'll try it again tomorrow and if it works I will declare victory on this issue. Now I just need to figure out how to get one of the newer versions of wifi tether to work. :)

First of all, thanks for the kick ass ROM. Stock Android made me realize how much Sense can be such a system burden. Second, is anyone else having any issues with Gmail since they release the Marketplace update? My emails aren't syncing with my account anymore (like when I delete an email on my phone, it still lists the same number of unread emails in my notifications bar and they are unread at gmail.com). Would it have anything to do with my inability to download and install the 2.2 mail update they released about a week ago?

RC1 ran perfect for me, no issues. I flashed to the 9/18 build, and it seemed like a step back. A whole lot laggier, and seemed to eat more battery. So I did a nandroid restore back to just before I flashed from RC1, and the performance is back.

No idea why.

Theimpaler747,

Using 9/18 with 9/17 gapps. When I go settings/sounds it five closes com.android.settings but this process is not under all applications to clear cache or anything. Ive tried flashing right over with no wipe and with wiping cache and dalvik but still force closes. Without access to Sounds I can get vibrate and other settings to work. I'm wiping everything now and starting from scratch. Any thoughts?
